Loved the decor and spaciousness of the room, as well as the house itself. Jade is a welcoming,, friendly presence, and the breakfast was great. Lots of yummy food choices. The location is great, on the hill above the main street, and a short walk to the shops, cathedral and castle.

    Like so many towns, Chester-le-Street has been hollowed out by online shopping. The key difference is that, whereas the towns that are local to where I live that have suffered the same fate as Chester-le-Street provide free parking in an effort to encourage trade, Chester-le-Street charge a fairly full price for parking. Regrettably, if I was in the area again it's not even a place I'd drop into because of the parking fees.

    I was visiting family for a 50th birthday, who lived less than 5 minutes travel away. Ideal location for Durham & Newcastle. Stormy weather prevented us from doing more. The room was a good retreat with a book. Function room ideal for the party.

    Chester le Street is a fine town in the centre of historical County Durham. The whole region has many historical attractions which should be of great interest to people in search of the regional culture . The rail service to Durham is very well supported . Road wise The A1M is one of the main arteries in England . As a road and rail traveller , I find it convenient to get to where I need to relatively quickly . Well worth a visit .

    I went to school in Chester le Street many years ago so I know the area very well, I now live in Scotland so a visit, although just overnight was excellent. It’s a very historical area with the cathedral and castle in Durham just above the river Wear and has very much ‘Oldie World Charm’. The cathedral has St Cuthbert’s bones laid to rest there and there’s so much more history in the area including two more castles at Chester le Street, Lumley and Lambton ( where the famous ‘Lambton Worm’ song comes from.) It was a very short, sweet visit but the hotel was excellent.

    So much to love and enjoy at Lumley.

    So much to love and enjoy at Lumley. The historic location and building are exceptional. The beautiful grounds and planting greet you first, there must be a team of skilled gardeners maintaining it. Inside the castle it's snug and welcoming and the music is gentle, relaxing and unobtrusive. The food was fabulous. I had a lamb dish followed by sticky toffee pudding, I highly recommend both. I noticed the interesting vegetarian alternatives on the menu. Breakfast was a delight, a buffet with cold meats, cheeses, breads, fruit salads, yogurts, breads, etc. And of course a good choice of cooked breakfasts. We had the full English breakfast, very tasty, next time I'm going to try the Craster Kippers. Our room was lovely, we stayed in a superior Courtyard Room. The bed was huge and extremely comfortable. The shower was powerful and easy to operate. All the staff were friendly and so willing to help. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. We spent time sitting in the Library Bar or outside in the secret garden. It was a very relaxing stay and we felt very well looked after. To top it all, in the morning when we were checking out Lady Poppet Lumley took time to chat with us, in all her feline loveliness. Thank you everyone at Lumley for a wonderful stay.

    This is our second time staying here. We love coming here. Me and my sister bring our children away for a few days in the summer holidays and its getting harder to find hotels that accommodate all of us so this is absolutely perfect for us. Its the perfect distance from beamish which is our reason for coming up here. The house is nicely furnished. The proper bed in the second bedroom and the foldable table downstairs were nice additions this year. We will no doubt be back again next year

    This property is under new management - who were extremely helpful - the previous owner still has this hotel registered on booking.com and is taking the money but the new owners know nothing about this - so you turn up and no one knows about the booking but the previous owner has taken your money. It is a very nice place and new owners lovely DO NOT BOOK VIA BOOKING.COM - BOOK DIRECT

    Breakfast was good. Staff excellent. Always helpful. Even helping me when losing my way in the hotel at one stage showing me the exits and entrance. Staff I could not fault them. The history was fantastic and a bonus as I love history. I would stay again as easy and central to get to places in the area.
