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.

You pay for the experience of staying in a castle. It is a wonderful building. A little bit more information about its history
3-night trip

10/10

Had 2 nights here in one of the standard courtyard rooms. However as it was in the eaves and we were in a heat wave it was so hot. Not the hotels fault though. Luckily there was a fan. Food in library bar was lovely, lovely grounds abs views and certainly got a wow factor driving in

2-night trip

10/10

Possibly because it was for Sunday & Monday nights, our 2-night stay was exceptional value. Very comfortable dormer-style room across the courtyard from the main castle (glad we missed last week's mini-heatwave or it would have been hot - although there was a big fan provided). Excellent breakfasts with interesting choices as well as full English. Friendly and efficient staff. We didn't eat in the main restaurant this time but we know it's good; we just didn't feel our appetites could do it justice and it is quite expensive - good for a celebration meal though. We ate in town Sunday night then in the hotel bar on Monday - the steak pie, mash & tenderstem broccoli was excellent.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.
