Me and the wife had a fantastic stay. Very friendly staff and a very comfortable bar area with open fire. Rooms were lovely and clean. Great experience.
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.
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!
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!
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.

First room was cold - window wouldn’t shut. Second room was too hot - couldn’t adjust radiator.
Very tired decor.
I stayed for 2 nights for a wedding. The staff work incredibly hard and the food is excellent. Rooms are a little dated and heating was all or nothing but it didn't greatly impact my stay.
The staff were excellent, professional and helpful. Keith was amazing as wedding coordinator/liaison. Andrew and Sean at Reception were great. There was also a young lady in the restaurant, (young with strawberry blonde hair)unfortunately i didn't get her name, but she was wonderful. My only recommendation would be that it is sometimes the "little things" that can detract from excellence. That said an ancient building must require continuous maintenance. All in, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Lumley Castle Hotel.
Lovely hotel in a great location. The food was excellent and nothing was too much trouble for the friendly, helpful staff. We will definitely visit again!
Went here for 60th birthday celebration, we got in room early it was very nice intentional old fashioned feel. Stayed in castle part of building very quiet room, very warm. Had a few drinks and a bar snack at library bar very nice drinks later and the first round was on hotel for my birthday staff were excellent even got a late checkout. Fantastic day at Lumley Castle.
