Very atmospheric, particularly with the Christmas decorations. Some furniture a bit battered and room cramped but still a very enjoyable experience for the price we paid.

Only stayed one night but was very impressed with the service and quality of the hotel. Breakfast was excellent and staff very attentive, I run my own hospitality business and I am considering sending some of my own staff there as a training exercise on seeing first hand how to approach and handle paying guests. I will make this the destination of my choice whenever I am in the North East.

Our stay was an absolute delight. Claire on reception was extremely professional, friendly and helpful. The room (50) was exceptional; we felt like King and Queen of Lumley. It was unique, especially the entrance to the bathroom, which was through the wardrobe door! Thanks for making our short stay a special and memorable one.

The hotel was as good as any we have stayed in and we were very sorry that we were only staying one night. Staff were attentive, polite and friendly, making you feel at home. Food was excellent. Room was warm and had everything we needed.

A real castle. V high ceilings, lush decor, lots of interesting objects. A vast rabbit warren. Comfortable with helpful friendly staff. This is obviously not a modern hotel, it is full of character including the odd creaky floorboard, not the most up to date plumbing. Worth it though. I would stay here again.

Lumley Castle was a wonderfully well-maintained and tastefully planned and decorated castle. Although we opted for the cheaper rooms beside the castle, we could still enjoy relaxing in one of the many castle bars, and dining in the restaurant. The only thing I did not like about Lumley Castle was the restaurant's dessert menu!

Great location and excellent restauruant Breakfast staff a bit unreliable -order of coffee and toast delivered to wrong table where it was accepted and therefore had to ask for replacement. Room was dingy but nothing can be done about that.

The castle's history Poor service - no one to show to the room which was not straight forward , faulty plumbing , fire alarm going off twice in the night, very expensive for what it is - eg no mini bar , no dressing gown and limited room service.

Lumley Castle is quite imposing from the outside but once inside it's comfortable & cozy. The breakfasts are fantastic with something for everyone. Every Prince or Princess should stay in a castle at least once in their lives! No Worcestershire Sauce of my breakfast!
