We stayed for 4 nights in this Amazing and unique retreat and absolutely loved it. It was very comfortable and in a great location very close to the North York moors and Pennines. We will definitely be booking again!
Excellent retreat away from it all in a unique environment.
The property lived up to its description and provided us with a superb place to relax and 'opt out' for a few days. Location is fabulous and a car is required to explore further afield, although you can access miles of countryside from the door. The additional touches like the dressing robes were appreciated! For anyone who needs the loo in the night I suggest you take a suitable receptacle to use otherwise you have 2 lots of stairs to descend, the owners do provide a chamber pot! It was a delight to stay in the Castle and Caroline and Niall are receptive and responsive hosts should you need to call on them, otherwise the place is yours to enjoy. What a generous pair they are to share their wedding gift with us all!
A wonderful, quirky place to stay. Everything from the wonderful hamper that we arrived to, to the treats left for our dog, to the well though out and cosy interiors, everything was perfect and made this a real holiday to remember.
Such a fantastic place, so full of character and nice touches to make our stay so fantastic. It's close to so brilliant areas for walking, but the fantastic stone spiral staircase wears the knees out after a few days.
We had a wonderful break at scargill. The property was so character full and warm. We would recommend to anyone.. thanks
It is very hard to rate our holiday experience because the castle was affected by storm Erwin and the area was out of power. We only stayed one night. The property is beautiful and would have been the perfect getaway if everything was normal. However we have given five stars for the fantastic communication we received from Caroline the owner and also from Rachael who was preparing the medieval banquet for us. Caroline kept us informed every day of what was happening in the area so we could make decisions on whether to stay or not. Rachael allowed us to take the prepared delicious banquet with us. We will book a return visit when hopefully the weather will be better. Great friendly communication from all concerned during a situation that was out of everyone s controll
This is a truly unique property in beautiful countryside, a haven for those who want to escape the stresses of the modern life. This was our second stay at the castle and we’d like to come back again sometime.
A Super place to stay, we just loved not going out and staying in "our" Castle
Lovely setting. Fabulous property. Everything you need is there. . The stone spiral staircase was the only down side for me as it’s a bit of a challenge and I think that should be mentioned more in the castle description. People can make their own mind up from then on.
What a special place! The castle sits in an idyllic rural setting where the only noises are those of birds, cows and sheep. The property itself is simply breathtaking! It's an original Tudor gatehouse of a larger property and is decorated sympathetically. At the same time, fixtures and fittings are of a high standard, and the property was very comfortable. The stone spiral staircase raised a smile every time I used it. There were many thoughtful finishing touches, including fresh flowers, and lots of information on walks and local attractions, and the story of the property. The welcome hamper was superb. We also ordered the Tudor Banquet, which was delivered to the property, and was wonderful. Highly recommended.
Tastefully restored and full of charm. We'll appointed and impeccably clean. Will definitely recommend to any couple wanting to holiday in the Dales.
One of the best holidays we have ever had. Great accommodation Great location and we will be booking again soon
Beautiful location, setting and well equip. Very cosy lounge with roaring fire, very well provided for a weeks worth of logs. Loved every minute.
Brilliant location - lovely hosts - unique experience ! We had the Feast which just made it perfect. Lovely walks from the door
Absolutely fantastic place to stay, everything you could imagine you'd ever need has been provided! Brilliant place to relax and dis-connect from the rigours of the modern world (and a great place to stay during a serious storm, no chance of blowing away!) Loved it so much, saving up to go back!!!
Our second stay and already booked to go again. Just a perfect place. Cannot recommend it enough!
Beautiful location, warm cosy accommodation. Booked the Hospitality Food Menu’s which were superb lots of very personal touches which made our visit extra special. Maps and walk ideas were good only recommendation would ask could you put some approximate timing mileage on the walks Will definitively visit again
