Everything from the staff friendliness, food to the cleanliness of the hotel is amazing! We have never had a bad stay here! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at the restaurant. We also did the new castle tour which was 100% worth it!!

Stunning building but tired rooms

Fabulous building and location - the hotel itself is a bit tired and in need of a refurb. Wifi not great but to be fair, he castle is 700 years old and has walls 8 feet thick so providing good wifi is tricky

Wonderful location and setting

Wonderful location and setting. The hotel leans into it's historic location. Beautiful flowers adorning the building make it even more impressive. Very comfortable rooms, excellent breakfasts and friendly staff. Very accessible for activities in the area.

Lumley Castle Hotel

Expensive for a very basic hotel. I would choose a Premier Inn over this hotel any day (even if they were the same price). Yes, the outside of the hotel is very beautiful but in my mind it doesn't justify the price. The service was lack lustre and the room basic on my opinion.
