Augill Castle is a 19th-century castle near Kirkby Stephen in Cumbria, tucked between the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District. Run as a family home rather than a conventional hotel, it offers castle bedrooms, a restaurant, and a live edged bar built by the family for guests to relax in of an evening. The owners host weddings, parties, celebrations, afternoon teas and other events here, welcoming guests into a shared country house experience rather than a formal reception-desk affair. It's a quiet Eden Valley base from which to explore the wider Lake District, with Kirkby Stephen's station around 5.2 miles away and the Stainmore Railway Company museum roughly 4.5 miles from the castle, making it well placed for days out combined with a calmer place to return to.
