Augill Castle

Out in the unspoiled Eden Valley near Kirkby Stephen, Augill Castle is a family-run Victorian folly set a short drive from Brough Castle and the Yorkshire Dales National Park. This rural, wedding-ready retreat sits close to the Eden Valley Railway and is roughly a 100‑plus mile drive from Manchester Airport.

An award-winning, relaxed spot that feels like a fairytale with modern comforts. Thirteen spacious, beautifully decorated rooms feature flat-screen TVs and bathrobes; public spaces include a library, playroom and picnic area. Expect tasteful Victorian character served with contemporary touches.

Wake up to garden and terrace views, stretch on the outdoor tennis court, or book wedding services in the grounds. There’s complimentary Wi‑Fi, free self-parking, a massage room, shared kitchen facilities, and a cosy bar/lounge for evening drinks.

Conference space, a meeting room and a business centre make this a solid countryside pick for small events and corporate retreats. Luggage storage and on-site parking simplify arrivals.

A restaurant on-site serves lovingly prepared meals with local inspiration, and the bar/lounge is perfect for winding down. The property is frequently chosen for wedding meals and celebratory menus.
