Lovely friendly staff great room with all you need Food was excellent quality breakfast freshly prepared Very happy and would certainly stay again

A 600 year old castle full of character. Small but comfortable room with every amenity. Excellent breakfast. Staff very friendly and helpful,

I was in room 42 for one night on my way to a job in the morning, so it was a cheaper option being a single room. But wow was it noisy. Anyone going upstairs carrying cases or bags or talking etc could be heard. It was like being a hobbit living under a house of ill reputation. The funny part was breakfast as it was absolutely gorgeous, but finding the place was like going to the toilets of a well known pub chain. I think they were actually in a different town. .

Lovely location, friendly staff, beautiful castle

We had a good stay for 1 night. Due to the hot weather the room was rather stuffy. The fan provided did help. The dinner was excellent as was the breakfast with plenty of choice. Good value for the price paid.

Great building. Lovely room. Eat in the restaurant and the steak was really over cooked. I really should have sent it back. We had breakfast the following day - full English. The fried egg was hard and the field mushroom was very over-done

Lovely stay great food great staff

Rooms size was fine, bit creaky all round, when guests went upstairs it was very noisy, you could also hear everything through the walls. Bathroom needed a good cleaning, lots of dust around the pipes and radiators, breakfast was great, food in bar not so good, this put us off trying out the restaurant.

Great place to stay especially for that special occasion.Food and staff excellent

Absolutely magical place to stay! The rooms were immaculate, beds very comfy, and the staff wonderful! The floor we stayed on was accessible by a small spiral staircase; large enough to get suitcases up, but perhaps not the most accessible so bear that in mind when booking. Would highly recommend taking time to walk the grounds and throughout the castle during your stay!

Beautiful grounds and castle. Room lovely but small. But we only stayed one night. Staff absolutely great. Not in your face but there if you needed anything and nothing too much trouble. A great stay all round. Definitely recommend to friends and family.

Stayed here a few times now but sadly it was as tarnished by the breakfast staff who took my order and 30 minutes later it hadn’t arrived. I asked where it was and they proceeded to take my order again. I didn’t have time to wait for it so I had to leave. They gave me a refund for my breakfast which was fine.

Very friendly staff. Beautiful location. Rooms a little tied but served a purpose. Food excellent

Very busy but well organised - thank you.

Absolutely wonderful stay

Fun place to stay, if one has never stayed in a castle!

Lumley Castle is a fantastic experience. The staff are all brilliant and the food was amazing. The bedrooms are compact and obviously old-style but that doesn't take away from an unforgettable stay and we will definitely be back.

The castle was quirky and interesting. The only criticism would be that the lights in the rooms were very low wattage and thus the room appeared very dark which made it difficult to read anything. Perhaps at least one light with a bright bulb would be good. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and the food in the restaurant was excellent. It was a very pleasant stay in a historic building which was set in a nice location nearby to the main town and an excellent base for travelling around the area.

Staff were wonderful, breakfast was great, bar food was expensive and not great quality, so would avoid eating there in the evenings. Location is great for Beamish and Durham.

Staff were friendly and helpful, room was lovely, we had a lovely 2 day stay and a bonus was the weather was great "thank you " Mark and Jess xx
