Could we be happier, we’re not sure we could! BEST BOUTIQUE FAMILY HOTEL 2025 in this years round up! #gratefulhearts⁠
⁠
A trip that delights the whole brood is a tricky thing to find, these places to stay all manage to get the formula just right, writes Sara Sherwood in @telegraph last week.⁠
⁠
“Augill Castle is ridiculous good fun. Expect vast rooms, towers and turrets, acres of terraces and lawns, board games and big-screen movie nights, and a brilliant location between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. It may not be suited to the shy and retiring, but it’s spot on for families, and anyone who likes adventures.”⁠

The Lake District? Absolutely.⁠
⁠
The Yorkshire Dales? Of course.⁠
⁠
A castle to come home to? Now we’re talking ❤️⁠
⁠
One of the best things about staying here at Augill Castle is having so much countryside to explore, without having to choose just one destination.⁠
⁠
We’re near the Lake District, on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and perfectly placed for discovering the landscapes, villages and outdoor adventures that make this part of the country so special.⁠
⁠
Bring the walking boots. Bring the children. Bring your sense of adventure.⁠
⁠
You don’t need to stay in the obvious places to experience the best of the region.⁠
⁠
Your next adventure could start at the castle. A few half-term spots left, and plenty of space for November jaunts! Booking link in bio⁠

Autumn at Augill Castle isn’t just about pulling on your boots and going for a walk (although we’re very much in favour of that too).⁠
⁠
There’s quite a lot going on around the Eden Valley over the next couple of months, so we’ve picked out a few things we think are worth knowing about.⁠
⁠
September and October are a particularly good time to explore the Eden Valley, with local markets, open gardens, walks, art, dark skies and a few rather more unusual things going on. Check out the blog with the link in bio or copy & paste the link below 👇🏻⁠

Thinking about getting married in a castle? Let’s talk about the bit nobody likes talking about first: money.

Because one of the first questions couples ask when they start looking at wedding venues is also one of the hardest to answer.

There’s something rather lovely about autumn at Augill.⁠
⁠
The crunch of leaves under your boots, mist hanging low over the Eden Valley, the first proper chill in the air and that golden light that seems to disappear almost as soon as it arrives. ⁠
⁠
Days made for long walks, muddy shoes left by the door and coming back to the warmth of the castle with cold hands and rosy cheeks.⁠
⁠
If you’re thinking about an autumn escape, here’s a little insider tip worth knowing: you’ll always get our best available rates when you book direct with us.⁠
⁠
So come straight to Augill, skip the third-party booking sites and settle in for a few days of autumn done properly. We’ll take care of the rest.⁠

Imagine this room on Christmas Day.⁠
⁠
Twenty people around this table. Christmas crackers. Glasses being topped up. Someone telling the same story they’ve told every Christmas. Someone laughing so hard they nearly choke on their dinner.⁠
⁠
The fire going. The tree sparkling.⁠
⁠
And absolutely nowhere else you need to be.⁠
⁠
This is what Christmas at Augill could look like.⁠
⁠
And honestly? We’re finding it quite hard not to want to join you.⁠
⁠
Christmas 2026 is available for EXCLUSIVE USE for up to 20 adults.⁠

Tag who you’re bringing with you and let’s make this happen!

As we head into those gloriously cosy autumn months, here’s a little tip worth knowing if you’re thinking about a castle stay…⁠
⁠
You’ll always get our best available rates when you book direct with Augill.⁠
⁠
No third-party booking sites, no wondering whether you’ve found the best price, just book with us and know you’re getting the best available rate for your stay.⁠
⁠
And while you’re here, you get to stay in a rather lovely castle in the Eden Valley, which feels like a pretty good reason to start planning an autumn escape.⁠

The quiet side of the Lakes: a castle hotel near the Lake District⁠
⁠
There is a certain expectation that if you are looking for a stay near the Lake District, you need to be right in the middle of it all. Somewhere overlooking a lake, perhaps, or tucked into one of the better-known towns, with walkers in boots passing the window and plenty of places to eat, drink and explore within easy reach.⁠
⁠
And, of course, there is nothing wrong with that.⁠
⁠
But what if you could spend your days exploring the Lake District and then come back to somewhere altogether quieter? Somewhere with fields rather than crowds outside the window, a little more space, and a castle at the end of the drive?⁠
⁠
That is where we come in.⁠
⁠
So, if you are searching for a hotel near the Lake District, perhaps don’t automatically look for somewhere in the thick of it.⁠
⁠
Look a little further east.⁠
⁠
There is a castle waiting for you ❤️⁠

When someone you love dies, there is a lot to organise, and the last thing you need is to worry about feeding everyone.⁠
⁠
At Augill, we offer a warm, welcoming place for wakes, with good food, plenty of space to gather and time to remember, share stories and be together.⁠
⁠
Quietly looked after, thoughtfully prepared, and without making a difficult day feel any harder than it already is ❤️⁠
