“We can tell you that it is grand, lavish, breathtaking, yet you will arrive unprepared for the luxury and the scale.”

Since its building in 1841 Augill Castle has seen its fair share of colourful incumbents not least the man whose vision the castle first was.

John Bagot Pearson, ‘a gentleman of leisure and considerable means’ from Kirkby Lonsdale commissioned the castle in 1837. His vision was of a weekend retreat where he could entertain his friends in a style reminiscent of a medieval royal banquet.

Augill Castle has a long tradition of memorable hospitality.
It is a house which is happiest when it is full.

“A truly amazing place.” - Les Routiers

If you can’t boast a country house big enough for all your friends, Augill is the perfect venue for your own house party. The castle can be exclusively yours for a minimum of two nights.

“From the moment we arrived in time for pre-dinner drinks on Friday night until Sunday lunchtime, it was our castle.”

As well as playing host to many types of party and celebration, Augill is licensed to hold civil marriages and has been described as one of the country’s most romantic houses.

There is no formula; no set packages. Each event at Augill is as unique as the setting itself.

“There is no competition – the only place with real class in the Eden valley is Augill Castle.”
