The staff were very welcoming and helpful on arrival. The room was comfortable, clean and we slept very well.
The spa was nice to relax in and worth paying the extra £20 per person for as you could use it all day.
Breakfast was freshly cooked and they had gluten free toast ands croissants and the restaurant food was delicious with a good choice of gluten free options.

Had a really lovely night's stay. The bed was really comfy, the room was clean and well equipped, the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was good pub food with massive portions and very reasonable. Breakfast was delicious. The hotel is peaceful and in a lovely setting right opposite a beautiful old church.

Our stay at Walworth Castle Hotel was truly memorable, not just because of the stunning setting, but thanks to the incredible staff who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.
Adrian, part of the breakfast team at the 1189 Kitchen & Bar, was friendly, attentive, and made sure we started each morning with a smile. The service was excellent, and his warm demeanor really stood out.
A special thank you to Mary at reception, who took the time—despite it being a busy period—to personally show...

This is not a 5 star hotel but our room was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Flat screen TV and free Wi-Fi, piping hot water, what more can you ask for? The pub downstairs has a wonderful menu at reasonable prices and the staff could not have been more helpful. The best Full English I have tasted, 10 items and not a spot of fat on the plate, well done.
