Last chance to book!

This weekend Santa and his chief Elf – Ontha Shelf – are stopping off at their favourite castle on their way to the North Pole and they have told us they want to meet as many local children – and their families as possible.

Join us for a delightful festive afternoon tea between 1pm and 6pm.
Our delicious holiday afternoon tea is priced at £25 per adult and £15 for children aged up to 12. Every child will get to visit Santa, and grown-ups are welcome too, and receive a special gift.

At Augill Castle, we understand that your four-legged friends are part of the family (they certainly are in ours!). That’s why, with prior arrangement, we’re delighted to welcome dogs in some of our charming estate rooms! These rooms are designed to provide a cozy, pet-friendly space where both you and your pup can relax and enjoy your stay.

Please note that to keep the main castle welcoming for all, dogs are not permitted inside the castle itself. We want to make sure every guest feels at home — two-legged and four-legged alike!

If you'd like to bring your dog along, just let us know in advance, and we'll ensure you're booked into one of our designated dog-friendly estate rooms. We look forward to welcoming you and your furry friend! 🐶 🏰

Augill has become synonymous with afternoon tea in the Eden Valley and we’ve changed things a bit. We call it afternoon tea re-invented. Out go the finger sandwiches and in come a daily selection of savoury treats. Expect such delights as toasted panini or savoury brioche slider, mini tartlets, prawn cocktails or savoury fritters.⁠
⁠
We take daily bookings for afternoon tea between 2pm and 5pm. With limited capacity to ensure you don’t feel crowded or rushed advance booking is essential. ⁠
