Very comfortable rooms and beds. Slept well. The serving staff at breakfast were a bit unprofessional discussing some internal hotel politics loudly which was a shame.

Beautiful, welcoming and comfortable
What a building Lumley Castle is!!! Beautifully converted into a hotel keeping the originality of the castle, reception staff welcoming which was a theme continuing to the bar and waiting staff. Food and drinks were lovely and the room very comfortable, I will definitely be revisiting!

Room needs some TLC , staff amazing
Check in wasn’t good , the directions to the room wasn’t clear, after 15 min of walking round the castle with two heavy bags we had to phone reception and ask them to come and help us . While walking round the castle we say lots and lots of dirty plates, cups glasses, left over food, outside peoples rooms and on windows sills. The stairs to our room were very difficult to get up. I ordered a bottle of bubbly and two glasses to the room as a SUPRISE for my husbands birthday. It never arrived even after me speaking to reception to ask if they could bring it up , when we checked out they tried to charge me for it. The room was dusty and the pot for tea coffee ect was absolutely filthy. Broken ornaments in the room, poor lighting , hardly any coat hangers, lack of attention to detail from house keeping, I would say, stains on the table and a very worn chair in the room. We stayed in the courtyard a few weeks ago and the room was amazing, we paid over £100 extra for this room and it was very poor. The staff are amazing, all extremely friendly, extremely helpful, polite, , the breakfast was very good , the cocktails in the library are lovely. We will definitely come back , but would only book to stay in the courtyard now, unless there is some updating work done in the castle rooms.

Fantastic building full of character and history. Courtyard rooms are lovely but not overly great on soundproofing as we could hear the neighbours too easily, also, the blind in the bathroom was an awful fit to the window but overall a brilliant experience that I would do again in heartbeat. My wife and I played hide and seek in all the nooks and crannies of the castle and we’re both in our fifties so a fab place

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!

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!

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.
