Lumley Castle Hotel

Lumley Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Beautifully maintained Castle and grounds. Room was exceptional, makes you feel like a king or queen. Nice quiet bar to have a drink, great dining room and quality food. Great cooked to order English breakfast. Everything was great. It set a stand for us for the rest of our castle hotel search. I would stay here anytime. One suggestion though is to have soothing, calming music at breakfast, as background music, instead of 'hit parade'."

"The water output in thw shower is not as strong as we would like it to be. The sink is clogged with hair from previous guests. We stayed for 2 nights and they did not refill our rooms with water. They took our small towels on the first day of cleaning but did not replace it with new ones."

"We initially booked to stay for 4 nights with the aim of moving further north afterwards. However, the hotel, the room, its staff and the food, were all excellent and, as a result we stayed a further 3 nights. Housekeeping was first rate. Food in the restaurant saw very good (and we ate in every night). All of the staff were helpful and friendly (special mention to Jess on Reception). Overall, we enjoyed an excellent stay and would readily use the hotel again."
