Appleby Castle is a 4-star historic hotel set within nearly a thousand years of heritage in Cumbria's Eden Valley, featuring one of only three intact Norman keeps in England. The castle offers 12 individually styled period bedrooms within the main building and three self-contained cottages, blending historic character with modern amenities. Visitors can explore 27 acres of grounds, discover the Norman Keep via interactive audio trail, enjoy guided tours with afternoon tea, and dine in a 15th-century restaurant featuring à la carte and tasting menus, often accompanied by live piano. The estate provides private fishing rights on the River Eden and welcomes school groups and organized tours year-round.
