Book a Newton Aycliffe Cottage

"Room was very clean and modern, bed was a super king and mattress was comfortable. No road noise whatsoever from A1. Reception and corridors all very modern. Car charging is available on site "

"My stay at Lumley Castle Hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome — attentive, friendly, and always ready to go the extra mile without ever being intrusive. The room itself was beautifully presented, blending historic charm with modern comfort. The bed was incredibly comfortable — the kind that makes it very hard to get up in the morning — and ensured a perfect night’s sleep after a long day. One standout detail was the shower: powerful, hot, and exactly what you want to relax and recharge. It’s a small thing, but it made a big difference. Overall, Lumley Castle delivers a unique and memorable experience. The combination of character, comfort, and outstanding service makes it a place I would happily return to and highly recommend, to the point we have booked to stay longer next year."

"Breakfast was a mix of fried, fruit & cereal!! Each room had its own designated parking bay!! Rooms were basic but clean!! Enjoyed our stay!! Not sure it's worth the money we paid for 1 night!! Stayed in nicer for less!! Maybe it's because I booked 2 nights elswhere previously?? "

"Great hotel, nice clean room, a bit on the small side but more than adequate for a 1 night stay. Breakfast was quite nice with a decent selection of food. Staff were pleasant although I did have to ask twice for a receipt for a coffee I bought from the bar. The server inadvertently put the receipt in the till and went on to serve someone else."

"Amazing place fantastic staff "

"Very attractive grounds and hotel facade. Internal amenities were reasonable. But restaurant was dire....both dinner and evening meal, disappointing after / before long drive. It photographed well on the website but I should have taken the time to look at the menu...clue would have been there."

"Standard Holiday Inn. Staff were nice and breakfast was amazing."
