Undressed For Dinner by Simon Bennett

Description

The Story of a Family Trying to Lead an Ordinary Life in an Extraordinary Place, written and published by our co-owner, Simon Bennett.

In 1997 Simon and his wife Wendy moved from London and bought a near derelict castle at the foot of the Cumbrian Fells. Today it is an internationally renowned hotel but that was never really the plan.

A wonderfully honest account of life behind the kitchen door showing the real blood sweat and tears that go into making a successful family run hotel. I laughed, cried and cheered in equal measure. Simon & Wendy’s story is a real clarion call for celebrating independent hoteliers up and down the country.
Fiona Duncan, Sunday Telegraph Hotel critic

I love this book. Augill castle is my favourite weekend retreat in the UK. This book makes fascinating reading about the backdrop to this magical haven in the Cumbrian countryside, and next time I visit I’ll feel even richer for sharing their story. Janey Lee Grace, BBC Radio 2 presenter and author of Look Great Naturally
