A Lovely Two Day Stay

We were impressed with the building - never stayed in a castle before! Our room was very adequate too. As for dining, it seemed a fair way to the restaurant but it wasn't raining so it didn't matter: it might have been a different story if the weather had been wet.

Restaurant over priced
David, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I stayed for one night. It was very clean & comfortable and i loved the decor. Having said that it could do with a new carpet in the room i stayed in, and the water pressure on the sink taps was very low, as a result it came out as a trickle. The breakfast was disappointing, very small for the price. Overall it was a pleasant experience and i would stay there again.

Great hotel

The hotel was beautiful. I was here on a business stop over and would definitely stay again. The staff were very helpful and polite. The hotel is very unique. I would definitely come back. It’s so different to other hotels is definitely worth it.

Lumley Castle amazing place to stay ❤️❤️❤️

Amazing absolutely blown away with Lumley Castle. The best place we have stayed on all our girly away dates. Everything from arrival to departure was far better than we ever imagined. A true Gem
Pat, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Could be better

Beautiful setting, comfy bed but could be cleaner. The evening meal was nice but the breakfast was a let down. Small portion and obviously left to long on the pass as it had dried up. The drinks in the bar were extortionate.
Emma, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room was comfy and spacious, good was excellent and the location suited us perfectly. Was very surprised at how sensible the price was compared to other far less enticing venues in the area!

4/10 Fair

Stay here alot and a lovely place. This time i felt short changed. Unable to book breakfast at check in (no space left). Electric sockets in room not working - maintenance fixed problem. Next morning went to make a cup of tea and Electric not working again. Room was £160, spent £400 on guest in restaurant yet morning after couldn't get breakfast or even a cup of tea in room.

Lumley Castle

Beautiful Castle in a stunning setting. Golf course there too if you are a golfer. Rooms I’d say are looking a bit tired but as it’s a castle I suppose it’s difficult to upgrade the furniture as then it would be too trendy I suppose. Friendly staff. Lovely walks by the river.
