Lumley Castle Hotel

Lumley Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Amazing couple of nights at Lumley Castle. The room was beautiful ' a courtyard feature room with 4 poster bed & lots of space. We were surprised how warm the room was & the bathroom had a lovely powerful shower over the bath. The whole castle was well maintained with plenty of walks around the grounds. We especially enjoyed our evening meal in the Knights restaurant where the food was excellent & the staff friendly & efficient. We would have liked a seating area with a roaring fire to sit & relax without being in the crowded bar area & it was quite difficult eating at the low tables in the library bar on our first evening All in all we highly recommend a stay in this beautiful & quirky castle."

"Good budget option. Small rooms with basic amenities but spotlessly clean. Very comfy bed. More hangers would be better but perhaps you can get these if requested. A lot of noise in the rooms overlooking the street, to be expected due to central location. Reasonable value. Would stay again providing it was reasonable rate."
