Appleby-in-Westmorland Appleby Castle Hotels

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Royal Oak. The room was basic, but clean and adequate. The bed was comfortable. We ate dinner there as well and it was delicious. The breakfast was good. My husband got the full English and I got scrambled eggs and bacon. The scrambled eggs seemed to be the rehydrated kind, but otherwise the meal was good. We would stay here again. "

"Rooms clean, staff as always at this hotel were very friendly and helpful, food and drink was excellent."

And minor maintenance is due (wall paper for example) All that said we had a marvellous time. Spacious dining table. Plenty of space. Nice touches with signage and plenty of board games. Gorgeous history. Fabulous break and great value for money Thank you black bull owners and please keep going. We noticed many places have closed down; such a shame."

"Gorgeous cosy cottage. Fantastic shower. Lovely comfortable king size bed. Had everything we needed. Great communication with the host. Lovely area that we will return to. Off street parking. "

We could not find a way to turn it up beyond 17° so the lounge was quite cold! It would also have been helpful if the car park was a bit closer ( on the days it poured with rain). I would still recommend it as a good place to stay, as long as you don't mind washing up."

"Overall this is a very nice place to stay and Anne the "
