The best hotel stay we have ever had
This was one of the nest hotel stays we have had. The room was very spacious and the best was extremely comfortable. The food at the restaurant was out of this world. We are looking forward to staying there again very soon. We recommend the Richard II room. The only drawback is we couldnt see the TV from the bed.

Castle!
Very cool to be in a castle! Waiting service needs attention. Slow and automatically placed 12.5% gratuity on bill. She asked if I wanted to take it off, but what pressure! Fix that the place is great!

8/10 Very good

Atmospheric and unique castle
It is amazing to stay in an actual castle, the building is beautiful and very atmospheric. The decor is mostly c.1990s set dressing but quite amusing and adds to the general character. Dinner was fine and breakfast generous except the coffee which could be improved. It was very cold when we stayed and the room was extremely well heated which was nice; only problem was the thermostat on the bathroom radiator didn’t work so it was on all night, making it so hot sleep was impossible!

Lovely castle stay.
Such a beautiful, relaxing stay. Lovely historic place. We stayed in a stable stateroom and it was genuinely lovely. We'll be back.

A treat that you will want to repeat.
A very interesting castle that houses beautifully prepared rooms, wonderful surroundings, excellent good and wonderful service. A treat that everyone with any sense or enjoyment of history will eat up. Very cheap and comfortable rooms with excellent facilities and a nice and quiet location. The Christmas decorations were also top notch.

Lovely room, spacious, comfy bed definitely recommend this hotel. Only thing I was disappointed with was limited bar meals after 5pm for vegetarians. I think sandwich options need to extended so available in the evenings.

We added a trip to stay at Lumley Castle at the end of our Scotland trip because of the similarity to our last name. I'm so glad we did. We stayed in a State Bedroom in the Castle. Because they had no events scheduled for the night we were there we were allowed to explore. It is so well preserved. It was a magical place. One of the staff, Jack took his break to give us a small tour and tell us some ghost stories. The bar was welcoming, High Tea was all we wanted it to be and dinner was excellent. Our trip to the castle was one of the highlights of our trip. I would suggest getting a cab or uber from the train station to the castle. Its quite a walk.

4/10 Fair

If you fancy sleeping like a medieval king or queen then this is the place for you. We were in a room up umpteen concrete steps and then a narrow concrete spiral staircase to a room smelling of cigarettes and dull as hell. Not for me, left a day early. Seriously if you have mobility problems get a court yard room
