Warm welcome and very friendly staff. Great food, comfortable clean room. Much more interesting than a modern block. I would book again when staying in the area

Had a lovely stay at Lumley Castle, our room was in the courtyard and had a lovely comfy bed. Delicious breakfast and very good value for money.

Room was ok Stairs case to room was a tight spiral staircase Food was great Noise from wedding part till gone 01:30 Appreciate they was celebrating but others was also staying there also Contacted reception told them sink was cracked and when used water leaked on the floor when my wife told them this was told yes that’s been reported before. Nice Quirky castle just a let down on stay due to state of bathroom needs a good clean and new toilet seat and new sink

Comfortable stay in a nice location

My only complaint is we didn’t stay more than one night. Brilliant staff. Accommodation perfect. Food fabulous. Also, the bar area was wonderful. Best glass of SV I’ve ever had in a hotel. Bliss!

I have used this hotel very often in the past But I was shocked how there Standards have dropped. The flood was very poor the service very poor.The lack of singning for there different areas none existent. The room very nice for normal users but for some disabled like me it was a night mare. There was a lack handrails in the shower the shower was fixed and did not detach from the fitted so was to high, Lack of places to put soap bags had to put them on the floor. The radiators were so hot they could not be touched. The wheelchair ramps although provided were not legal. Sorry I could go on got pages on how is this hotel this hotel should not be graded.and no I will never use it again. They are living on the fact they are a castle but forgot the required needs of its guests.

Staff were excellent. Room a lot smaller than expected. Bedding and en-suite very clean. Room in need of updating/decotation. Parking facilities were very poor.

Everything excellent, though was surprised a barista coffee was £2.50 extra at Breakfast

Lumley Castle has a strong connection with my childhood home; Maltby Model Village, close to Sandbeck Hall, the residential home of the Earl of Scarborough and the Lumley family, who own Lumley Castle

We booked 3 nights in a classic castle room. This place is amazing, a real castle and fortification hundreds of years old. The walk to the room from reception involved many twists and turns with walls a foot thick. A lift will take you to the first floor but you need the grand staircase to get to the second floor. On the way you will pass many sitting areas and chairs in various nooks and crannies. The room was not huge, but big enough with a bath/ shower on a raised area from the bedroom floor. This place is an experience and the castle is steeped in history. The dining room is in the vaulted basement and is very atmospheric. Breakfast is superb. Help yourself to anything from the continental table in the room 2 doors down the corridor and choose your main breakfast from the menu which will be cooked to order. Very efficient with friendly and well trained staff. We ate in the restaurant on the first night. The choice is small but the food top class. The whole stay was a first class experience.

All good

Excellent accommodation and the food was excellent Would definitely stay there again

Have visited Lumley on many occasions and have been very happy. On this occasion, we were a bit disappointed with the room which was in the stable block. Although it was quite large, the windows did not close property, outlook from window very poor and room was very noisy as people going up and downstairs - the staircase was right next to room. Staff were very nice and bar food good. Would stay again but wouldn't want the same room.

I enjoyed a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The setting is really nice, offering a calm and welcoming atmosphere throughout. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was particularly impressive, with an excellent selection across both the continental and cooked options, all of which tasted great. While certain aspects of the room showed minor signs of age, it was very clean and well maintained, ensuring a comfortable stay. Overall, this is a charming hotel with attentive service and high‑quality dining.

Very good friendly staff , plenty of gluten free options also at the restaurant .. they did gluten free toast for us each morning .. Rooms were super comfy and large .. wet nice facilities .. and has amazing views from certain spots overlooking the town..

We recently stayed at Lumley Castle and had an absolutely fantastic experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and well looked after by the friendly and attentive staff. One of the highlights of our stay was being upgraded to a room in the main castle building, which made our visit even more special. Staying within the historic heart of the castle really added to the magic of the experience and made us feel immersed in its incredible history and character. Our room was beautiful, comfortable, and full of charm, while still offering all the modern comforts we could have wanted. Exploring the castle and its stunning surroundings was a real pleasure, and every corner seemed to have its own story to tell. The food was excellent, and breakfast in such a unique and atmospheric setting made every meal feel like an occasion. Throughout our stay, the staff consistently went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Lumley Castle is a truly special place that offers something far beyond a typical hotel stay. The upgrade to the main building was a wonderful surprise and helped create memories that we will treasure for years to come. We would not hesitate to recommend it and are already looking forward to returning.

A castle stay, this is perfect, good food. Beautiful bedrooms, lovely staff and fantastic building. I have been 6 times and I will go again, love the castle

Beautiful building, fantastic surroundings. Very clean. Great selection and beautiful food. Very friendly and helpful staff. 100% recommended and we will be back.

Quirky venue, traditional castle, nice food and friendly staff

Always love our overnight stays at Lumley. Love the more quirky rooms in particular. Breakfast is always gorgeous, and well organised. Staff are all lovely, approachable, friendly, cheerful. The only two things I might say is that the Library Bar doesn't have a whole lot of choice for bigger plate meals. Burgers, fish and chips, pie and ravioli. Maybe 2 or 3 other choices? Would benefit someone like me with OA cervical spine, to have a choice of 2 pillow types, firm and the usual hotel soft. I find it very difficult to stay asleep on the very soft, hence being awake a lot of last night, due to very soft pillows causing more pain. Just a choice of 2 would be better, firm, and soft. Other than that, another gorgeous stay. Can't wait to come back.
