Askham Hall Penrith Reviews from The Last Year
Lovely characterful old place
It's a beautiful approach through a park (Lowther Estate) and alongside the river, and the building and grounds are grand and impressive. We had a warm welcome and were shown straight to our room (Griffin) via a magnificent staircase (shades of Downton Abbey!). It was a nice size with period features like an old fireplace, with a huge bathroom (with both a free standing bath and walk-in rain shower, which I love), but was a bit cold. We switched the radiators on which helped, but it's not ideal to have to do that ourselves. There was a great info pack which was much appreciated, but the room was quite dark with no main light in the ceiling. We loved the honesty bar down in the lounge area and the roaring fire, and the meal at Allium was superb.
IF YOU CAN, VISIT!
What a great place to visit on our drive north. The room upgrade was most appreciated too. We enjoyed the Tasting menu, all courses were super yummy with some skilful cooking. Nico the sommelier suggested the most moorish wines too. If you can, VISIT!
An excellent night to remember
Askham Hall is just a wonderful place to stay. The staff are delightful, food amazing, wine list magnificent. What more can you ask??? We had a beautiful, huge bedroom with everything you could possibly need - the attention to detail was impressive. The service was very attentive throughout but delivered in the most laid back, comfortable style. Well done for superb staff training and for not being at all stuffy or arrogant! And the setting - great walks from the door, lovely gardens (sure they're a lot better in the spring) and the freshest air. So good for the soul.
Nice old building in a lovely little village
This hotel is based in a very old Peel tower and is full of character. Our room, Griffin, had a large bathroom with a free standing bath. The room was classed as a "Generous Double" which I don't believe is an accurate description. The room size was OK but there was no storage, no wardrobe, only a small rail attached to the wall at waist height, so nowhere to hang a dress. The bed itself was maybe past it's best. Breakfast was OK, good quality sausage and black pudding but over cooked eggs. The area around the hotel is a lovely little village. Wood i go back? Difficult question.... maybe.
Weekend at Askham Hall
A surprise birthday weekend at Askham Hall with friends was a huge success. This was directly inspired by the fabulous location, attentive contact by the staff there, and the amazing food provided by chef Richard Swale. This was our second visit to this stunning location and will not be our last.
A package of perfection.
This was our fourth visit to Askham hall, ive only been home a few days and im already wanting to return again. Everything is good here and collectively everything adds up to the absolutely perfect experience. The food is 1 Michelin star level and we chose the 8 course tasting menu for £125. The food was very enjoyable with much of it being sourced locally. Askham hall is in the middle of the Lowther estates so perfectly situated in the heart of the Cumbrian countryside....the perfect escape. Game is in abundance all around the estates , Deer , Pheasant , Rabbit , woodcock etc etc and i would dearly like to see more of that appearing on the menu. Wine - One of the very best wine cellars in the UK with prices ranging from the very affordable up to £68,000...thats a lottery win. We chose the wine flight with the food at £95 per person. Nico is both the restaurant manager and sommelier and at 10/10 he`s the best in the business.....there`s none better anywhere in the UK. Service was great , all smiles and very pleasant. Ambience and history.....wow. This place is wonderful and magically preserved in time. A Roaring log fire and a well stocked honesty bar....what`s not to like ? All in all its not just about the Michelin food here.....Askham ticks every single box all around , its the perfect package.
Beautiful location, magnificent building but disappointing dining experience.
Quaint and quirky setting in historic Cumbrian village but in need of a makeover or some updating of decor and replacement of threadbare. carpeting. The big draw is the hall and surrounding gardens as the food and wine in the restaurant Allium which was the main reason we chose to stay was disappointing. It seemed that any quality food on the tasting menu had long been replaced by cheaper alternatives for example a small piece of Cod for the fish course was a bit of a lazy option and a small slice of Pork for the meat course was to be honest a bit of an insult. So overall the tasting menu was decidedly ordinary. The wine pairings were similarly unremarkable options and strange that although one menu was vegetarian wine pairings were exactly the same for completely different dishes, food and flavours so no real effort was made to match food and wine. So ordinary food, paired with unremarkable wines was a bit of a let down in a fine dining restaurant. The staff were very helpful and friendly throughout but overall the dining experience was not very memorable and did not appear to represent value for money.
Cosy luxury
After several thwarted attempts I finally spent a night here including an exquisite meal at their Allium restaurant. We felt welcome from the moment we arrived. The age and higgledy piggledy layout provided truly authentic quirkiness. A large log fire was burning in the lounge with two large squishy armchairs in front of it which we immediately bagged. An extensive range of drinks were available from the honesty bar so we really felt at home. My room was very comfortable and well equipped. I particularly enjoyed the free standing bath in front of a window overlooking the courtyard. The tasting menu was divine and the service was excellent. After a full English breakfast the following morning we tried to walk it off with a walk round the gardens and Askham village which is perhaps one of the prettiest in the Lake District. Highly recommended
Staying with the family
This is a very old family house and from the moment we arrived we felt like we were staying with the family! All the staff were so nice and welcoming and nothing was a problem. The food at Alium was amazing and the wine pairing and info given on the wines was a delight. Yes it’s old and yes it might by slighty shabby but it’s just gorgeous. You can’t help but relax. Really impressed that everything is local incl tea, coffee, biscuits etc etc. Thankyou for a wonderful 2 days we won’t ever forget.
Glorious Gatehouse Suite
Another delightful stay at this fabulous castle - this time in the Gatehouse suite. What a joy! Wonderful space - love the mix of old and new, the patina of the sofa, the clever use of fabrics & pictures to give a modern but antique style all together. Feather bedding and a great bed allow for the perfect nights sleep. Clean, comfortable and delightful. Thank you.

Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
When do funds get released
My funds from first transaction were supposed to be released today at 5:30 EST. Still showing in deposit account and not main balance

I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week. I keep lowering the price, but am worried they won’t sell. How long did it take you to sell your first reservations? And did you have success being reimbursed by AT for no-show or cancellation fees? Just looking for a little reassurance. Thanks!

This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming “bots” and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement. I thought this would be a fun side hustle, but unfortunately it’s become like any other “side hustle”. Don’t waste your time with this crap. Not a question, just a suggestion. Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
