Room was spotlessly clean (apart from some mould on the shower strip). Comfortable room and plenty of space, nice and quiet. Only gripe is the room was very hot, a small fan was provided in the room but had little effect. Breakfast was very good, the continental was plentiful and the got breakfast was cooked well. Didn't eat in the dining room but the bar staff where we had drinks were all very nice. Lovely building to explore.

Great atmosphere throughout. We were upgraded to a featured room. A surprise bathroom behind the wardrobe. Great powerful shower. Love everything. The only thing is missing is a small fridge.

The coach house rooms are quite small and rather dated. The room I stayed in ( number 6) had a piece of flooring that if it was not for the fitted carpet/underlay I swear I’d have fallen through. The shower was in the eves of the room which meant for a 6’1” man I am the shower head was around shoulder height… also being that tall I could see the cistern had not been wiped over for a long while. Also the moving of a presume the owners loud porches and subsequent electrical sanding down at circa 8-9 am in the courtyard meant that even if you wanted to sleep in you could not… Overall the staff are amazingly attentive ( but with the 12.5% added to all your purchases they should be) and in fairness the food was piping hot when they served it Eating in the bar is indigestion in a room as the seats are high and the tables low. The restaurant ( where I had breakfast only) was lovely albeit you needed to hike to get your continental. The Eggs Benedict was not the best… I suggest rocket used in place of the cress and I’m pretty sure my ham was a little old. Over all a lovely experience but not what I had expected. Would I stay again… yes so long as there was no other option available. Trip was business, no I did not complain as we British just don’t do that!

Stunning castle location, as its well over 100 years old wonky floors should be expected. Our ground floor room was right next to some stairs which I thought might have been a problem but apart from the odd guest with diving boots on early on we didn't get disturbed. You get what you pay for and as such the restaurant was a bit pricey but the food was excellent and the staff very pleasant. The grounds are very picturesque with a golf course next door. Well worth a visit.

We stayed in an upstairs courtyard room. The room was clean and well presented with the bedding fresh. All the staff that we interacted with were a credit to the hotel and nothing felt like too much trouble. We opted for breakfast each morning of our two night stay and the quality of the ingredients and service were a highlight of our visit. The external door of our block was a problem as difficult to shut without banging and others left it unlocked. We noticed this with most of the courtyard external doors. An interesting place to stay.

First time staying here, we were there for 2 nights. Reception staff were lovely, really friendly every time we spoke to them and even had a laugh on the phone. Proper nice vibe. Breakfast staff felt a bit abrupt though, like you were being rushed while eating which wasn’t great. The room itself was beautiful, at the top floor. That said, the stairs nearly finished me off and the blast of heat from the radiators… I almost joined the ghosts up there. Speaking of which, the place definitely has a bit of a spooky feel. The courtyard was stunning, really peaceful, and room service was great, super friendly again. Only weird thing was we had to prop the window open with a bottle. Overall, really nice stay with a few quirks… and yeah, a couple of spooky things did happen 👀 also I think the staff got sick of me asking about dessert of the day and being disappointed it was lemon tart!

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.
