Sitting next to the River Eden in the beautiful Eden Valley at the edge of the Lake District is the majestic Appleby Castle.

We loved the medieval feel of the castle. To be around the original decor, no tvs in room and just overall basic. It is a fantastic escape. The food was amazing, we dined in the hall and could not fault the food whatsoever. Well presented and tasty. We got upgraded for free and we was very grateful. Hot water, comfy bed, clean, and loved the shutters for the windows! Staff were attentive and friendly. We arrived around 415pm and the lovely guy who man's the grounds was fab and full of knowledge about the castle and check in was super.
Near the beautiful River Eden, in the ancient town of Appleby in Westmorland, this traditional 17th century coaching inn offers free Wi-Fi and en suite rooms.

I had a nice room and the shower was excellent, Check in and check out was great and breakfast was good and I ate a nice evening meal. I even had access to a nice garden.
The Crown and Cushion Appleby is situated in the market square in the centre of Appleby and features a restaurant, tea-room and bar.

Very spacious and clean. The bedrooms were huge. Nice new bathroom. Separate lounge with sofa and dining table. Location was excellent, right in the middle of Appleby, but the apartment was very quiet.

The location is great and the cottage is very cosy. The owners were extremely kind and great to deal with. Would stay again :)

Lovely homely stay. The hosts are really friendly and left jam and cream scones. The bed is lovely and comfy. We had a lovely relaxing stay! Beautiful scenery around the hut. With the lambs just outside. The stars on a clear night were amazing for any star gazers! We took microwave meals as there’s a microwave, kettle and mini fridge. The little touches are lovely.

A lovely village with a castle, river, woodlands, a great park under construction and a swimming pool. There are a few nice cafes, a couple of restaurants and pubs and some lovely gift shops. We ate at the 'Crown and Cushion' pub for a traditional meal and 'The Cutting Garden Cafe' for breakfast. We had a lovely stay and would definitely return.

Appleby is a stones throw from the Dales and the Lake District. The town itself is friendly with several options for food and drink. It does have a "small" weekly market and several independent shops. There are lots of walking trails and a haunted castle, a perfect hide away from city living.

We phoned up on the morning of our booking to confirm check in time. We were told they were cancelling our booking because they had no bed linen. They had not attempted to call and inform us. Be careful if you book this hotel

It was horrible from start to finish i had paid for 2 nights i left first thing in the morning after first night. It is nothing like the web says, one man that stunk of alcohol and bo checked us in he was also the cook and the bar man, one look at the state of the kitchen told me i wasnt eating in there, it wasnt even a bar it was a pop up with can of beer, to say i was devastated was an under statement , the bed squeeked all night with every movement, it was pitch black in the corridors we had to use the torches on our phones to find the room, do not go here

What a fantastic opportunity to stay in a truly memorable location. Yes the floors are uneven yes the things are old very old. The bathrooms are however up to date. You are a stones throw from town.
Staff were fantastic but stretched by the logistics a little. We had wifi other than that go to the bar the games room tv room or walk in the grounds….we loved it don’t go to a Castle if you want everything new…….I would recommend this to anyone who appreciates staying in a castle that is pretty much as it was in 1680s parts of it far older than that….. thanks for a great opportunity to stay in the awesome place

We only stayed overnight so shops were closed but nice to stroll and windowshop. Limited places to eat so would recommend booking a table. Parking also limited, discs need to be displayed. Lovely river with benches on the banks to enjoy the scenery
Immaculately presented cottage. Very comfortable. The cleanest we’ve ever stayed in. Very well equipped. Good WiFi and a smart TV so our daughters were happy. Some board games to help get the children off their screens. Ideally located in the center of Appleby within a few minutes walk of cafes, pubs and restaurants. 30 minutes drive from Keswick and Ullswater, 50 minutes from Grasmere. The hosts were very helpful and always responded within an hour of any questions we asked. We’d definitely return and are very happy to recommend.
We were most concerned that the dog could fit in to the hotel environment while allowing us to relax. The staff were fantastic with him as soon as we arrived, put us at ease and enabled us to enjoy a fantastic meal (real ale a plus). The room had a door directly into the garden which meant that the dog could be let out as required. We will very likely stay here again if we pass this way. The town of Appleby also has nice walks along the river so we had a pleasant evening walk to finish.
Just had a fabulous two night here.
Very accommodating, friendly, entertaining. Breakfast was lovely - even catering specifically for a vegan diet, not just cobbling something together.
Easy to get to lots of walks - we did High Cup Nick, the starting point was around a 10 minute drive.
Fab location, Appleby town (it’s not a village 😆) is lovely with lots of choices for food and drinks on an evening.
The Staff were very pleasant ! The hotel itself is very attractive ..the Room 21 we had was nicely decorated and clean . The double bed was very comfortable in the Bedroom ..the pull out sofa bed not so comfortable .. the bathroom was clean and of a good standard . Nice Real ale on and a good range of whisky's .The Hotel is set in an Attractive part of Appleby
Excellent stay in the castle. Staff were friendly. Room was big and comfortably warm and the bed was so comfortable.
Breakfast was OK , nice but nothing to write home about.
The novelty of staying in a castle was great. If you want a modern box of a hotel room, don't stay here but if you are looking for something a little different, I highly recommend!
This was our third time staying here. We just love the relaxing atmosphere, the excellent food in the restaurant. The staff are always very friendly and provide a great service. We always go on Valentines weekend and it is never too busy, it can actually feel very exclusive in this regard. The fantastic spa completes the experience
Great location within Appleby. Great little house. Would definitely recommend for a couple looking for a short break.
We had expected there was more to Appleby, it's very small but enjoyed some lovely walks. Had a nice pub meal in the Crown and Cushion, dog welcome, great landlord and staff.
Lovely pub/hotel in a nice location.. nothing was too much trouble… room was clean and comfortable… evening meal and breakfast was absolutely lovely. Good value for money. Will definitely look at staying again.
Excellent cottage and great location within lovely Appleby and close to fabulous scenery. Kitchen is very well equipped and the whole place is very comfortable and yet quite spacious (for 5 of us).
The property is situation in the middle of Appleby which is quite convenient. Though we did not go into the main portion of the property, which appeared lovely, I wish we had stayed there.
The staff were very friendly. The hotel itself was a lovely building. We didn’t see the spa element as were there for a wedding. The food in the restaurant was very good!
