We love staying at Lumley castle. We try to find a new place to try each year for ours birthday but Lumley is our favourite and this was our 3rd visit. The rooms are clean and quiet and so comfortable. The staff have always been so nice and accommodating. The food is lovely and always cooked to perfection and the library bar is perfect for relaxation! We can’t await to come back and will be booking twice in 2025!
Very nice castle hotel and lovely to sit in the period lounge.
It’s a slight maze to walk around, but that’s part of the charm.
Cooked breakfast is made to order and it could include kippers for a small 3 GBP supplement .
A great historic building and many bedrooms are in a converted courtyard attached to the Main castle building.
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.
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.
This was our 2nd visit to Lumley Castle. We stayed in the courtyard again, but this time the room was on the ground floor. It was a much better room for us, my partner struggled with how dusty the room was last time as it had ceiling beams, this room had less places for it to collect so his allergies weren't triggered.
Its a great place to stay, the staff are hardworking and friendly. The breakfast is fresh and hot. Theres plenty of parking, and its a fairly quiet place to stay. You can hear floorboards creaking when people are walking around but thats about it.
We'll definitely be back as its such as good base to go exploring.

Room was ok. Fire doors very noisy in the courtyard and kept banging. Reception wasnt there when we arrived after our wedding.
