The Property is really nice however we didn’t stay and had to book alternative accommodation. Nothing to do with the property but as the ‘horse fair’ was due and a number of visitors were taking an unhealthy interest in our Pick-up and tools🤦🏻♀️ we didn’t feel particularly safe. Hopefully we’ll go back again at a quieter time😊

The rooms were really comfortable and very nicely decorated and furnished.
Breakfast - we were offered a wide range of items for a cooked breakfast; tea was very good hot and regularly replenished.
Very friendly owner.

Laurie was lovely .we only stayed for one night, but we felt like old friends by the time we left. He was extremely accommodating of our dogs. Really thoughtful lighting the fire for us and drying our walking boots, he even played the music we liked.
Would definitely stay again if we are in the area.
It’s up for sale and needs TLC. The bones of it are great, the staff are unfriendly and a little weird!
Young lady waitress was the exception.
We had decided on the taster menu, it was not a taster, it was three starters a main and a slightly random dessert.
No alternative to mussels, which were tough, more deep fried cheese balls swapped in.
It was all entertaining, probably due to the amount of Prosecco we had… but I wouldn’t eat there again. Worth seeing the musty internals of the dining room and the very busy gardener who became the maitre de and then played piano!

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...
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
Clean, homely, warm and cosy. The cottage was easy to find, we had no issues with parking in the yard and the cottage had everything we needed for a weeks stay. Collette was really helpful and responsive. Its about a half hour drive to the Lake District which was fine for us. We were there when the Appleby Horse Fair was on and although the village was much busier than normal, it was still quiet in the cottage, except for the occasional clip clop of horses hooves. Great value for money, we would return in a heartbeat.
Really warm welcome upon arrival. Locals were a nice bunch. Ordered an evening meal which came out fast and hot, despite being at the end of service. Steak cooked well and very tasty. Decor of pub and rooms was really smart and clean. Breakfast served on time and again well cooked and plenty. Perfect stop over for driving up/down M6 for an overnight stay and mooch around Appleby. Would certainly recommend and hope to stay again. Lush stay thanks.
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.
everything about the royal oak is fantastic. i would highly recommend the Royal Oak to everyone.
We were a family of 3 with our Beagle cross and i can honestly say this is the best hotel we have stayed in with our pooch. the staff are very friendly and cannot do enough for you. the doggy welcome pack was amazing and not expected. the food is A*. we will be visiting again soon xx
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
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
Comfortable, clean, well equipped. We appreciated the added extras: toiletries, milk, tea, coffee, biscuits etc.
Great location. Appleby is a lovely little town. Nice pubs nearby that serve good food. Surrounded by beautiful scenery & walking in the Pennines. Also the Lake District is only a short drive.
Manager and owner were so polite and engaging, as were the staff.
The history of the castle 🏰 is so interesting.
If you are looking for a castle break in a beautiful setting then give this castle a go.
Our drive to Appleby from Bradford was so scenic too. What's not to like??
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.
Nice room and tv.
Good bed and shower room.
Enough parking at the front.
Very good breakfast and evening meal.
Nice circular walk into Appleby and back.
