Unfortunately we had some issues with the bathroom facilities being faulty and we were both disappointed with the evening meal choice in the restaurant. It saddened me to see that so much of the interior decor had been damaged in some way, showing a lack of respect from the visitors.

The building and surrounding areas are absolutely stunning. The interior of the castle is pleasantly set out and nice to be able to stop and take in the grand stature of such an old building.

Nothing. It's a castle that's over 600 years old so you expect quirkiness and creeks. It was fantastic, will be back later this year.

The breakfast is massive and really sets you up for the day. And the evening meals were superb !!

Room 48 was very tired, and the ceiling had a leak, which made the bed covering damp. I advised reception. The decor, while pleasant, was tired and could do with a complete refresh.

The food was outstanding both for dinner and breakfast.

Lovely breakfast but the buffet breakfast room was too far away from the dining room . There was no shelter in the courtyard when moving from one area of the hotel to another. We got soaked going for breakfast. There were no microphones for the wedding speeches. We couldn’t hear what was being said. Not enough vegetables with the main meal.

Very historic. Beautiful interior. Very comfortable rooms.

Small amount of mould in bathroom Just need a bit more maintenance to bathroom. Stairwell finial was loose and fringe on pelmet loose. The wine was very expensive and put us of spending time in the bar Shower over bath was very low because of the ceiling height no good for tall people. Remote control for TV had a mind of its own

Good base to see local area. Good beds very comfortable and clean linnen Slept very well and room was very cosy.

Since it’s an old castle, access to the castle rooms is via a small stone winding staircase. Fantastic for the athmosphere but less practical for lugging luggage up to the room.

Wonderful place! Quite exceptional to stay in such an old castle. The room we stayed in was in true castle style with views on the surrounding landscape. The bed slept wonderfully and breakfast was a delight. In all we had a superb stay.

There wasn’t enough shelving in the bathroom for our toiletries. It wasn’t clear when we booked that our room would be in the eaves. Headroom was a bit of a problem.

The castle was fascinating both inside and out and filled with interesting furniture, paintings and other artefacts. The staff made us feel very welcome. The breakfast was of excellent quality with an extensive selection of cold items followed by a cooked breakfast. The bathroom was quite spacious with loads of hot water. Comfy bed and quirky features.

Bathroom a bit dated.

It’s history, the building is very old and is charming. The breakfast was excellent the staff at breakfast and bar staff were very efficient and a big asset to the place.

Hhmmm....Difficult one to answer. Maybe a mini fridge with glasses but reception provided ice and glases when requested

Lumley Castle surpassed all expectations, offering an enchanting blend of historical grandeur, luxurious accommodations, exquisite dining, and exceptional service. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the castle's medieval charm and impeccable hospitality. Our room was lovely, and dining in the Restaurant was a culinary delight. The blase of beef was exceptional and the breakfasts were delightful. The staff's warmth and professionalism made us feel like royalty throughout our stay. Lumley Castle is a true gem, and we can't wait to return for another unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for a magical getaway
