Snape Castle Under Croft and Gardens

What a wonderful experience staying in a place with so much history!

Absolutely geared up for our three welsh springers who were very happy here and the secure garden/courtyard meant we could let them out and not have to stand watching them every second! The accommodation was well equipped and had everything needed. Sharon ( the owner) was equally very welcoming and greeted us on arrival and popped by to say goodbye too. The village itself has a cosy pub ( Castle Arms) that serves meals in the evening. It also has a fresh fish shop/ deli ( Carricks) where you can get milk/ bread etc plus a lot more. All within walking distance. Will definitely be booking again.

Fantastic place to stay.

Everything you need provided for your stay, even down to dishwashet tablets. Safe for dogs to run around freely. The only grips were the property on arrival was freezing. Heating was under floor and was timed to come on after we had arrived at 4pm. It took hours to heat properly, it was'nt until the following day that you felt some benfit. We had to use mobile plug in heaters and put all the spare blankets on the bed. But we were in a Castle!! The property has 2 bedrooms, 1 downstairs double bed with en suite large bathroom. Upstairs small bedroom 2 single beds, not en suite and this 2nd bathroom was downstairs in the lounge area. We were 2 couples staying for 5 nights I would not recommend this property for couples longer than that, unless you dont mind using a downstairs bathroom when people in the lounge!

First impressions beautifully clean.

Nice and peaceful apart from one night of fireworks in the distance. Our pooches loved it being able to run around the gardens unrestricted Would highly recommend five stars

The description for the property was incorrect:- ''Two bedroom: 1 x ground-floor king-size bed with en-suite walk-in shower, basin and WC, 1 x twin'' The ensuite was the bath with shower over which posed difficulties for myself, consequently the downstairs shower room had to be used by both my son and I, if I had known this on booking I would have had second thoughts.

Also the heated towel rail was in the bedroom not the bathroom, drying wet towels in a bedroom is not a good idea and as such there did appear to be black mould on the stonework around the window frame, the same was also around the window in the bathroom. The sofa's were a bit low for me but were generally comfortable, the king size bed was comfortable too. There was not a lot of work surface in the kitchen but I guess being Grade 1 listed there are limitations to how much can be done. The underfloor heating was exceptional and the whole place was very warm when we arrived. I didn't meet the owner but spoke to her on the phone when I was leaving and she seemed very nice and was concerned about my leaving early due to my feeling unwell

Lovely welcome from the owner including some much appreciated treats for us and the dogs.

Amazing castle setting and comfortable historic accommodation, enclosed gardens in great location for exploring North Yorkshire. Snape village is beautiful and the pub and delicatessen were both worth a visit.

It is difficult to assess in that whilst the facilities etc are not necessarily of the highest standard you are staying in a castle that dates back at least to tudor times with all the trappings that go with that.

In that sense it is unrivalled particularly when you add in the grounds where the dogs can roam without danger of escape. Our stay here will live longer in the memory than anywhere else we have stayed. The owner who lives on the main property couldn't have been more helpful

We had the best experience ever.

Staying in a castle was something out of a dream. The owner was so friendly and it was a pleasure meeting her.
