Within easy driving distance of Newcastle, Durham and Sunderland, the magnificent spectacle of Lumley Castle has dominated the County Durham landscape for over 600 years.

Surrounded by beautiful parklands overlooking the River Wear and Durham County Cricket Ground, the castle is a magnificent monument to a bygone age of chivalry and honor. The hotel features 74 luxurious rooms with attached bathroom, with complimentary Wi-Fi internet. Dine in the splendor of the Black Knight restaurant, offering varied cuisine and a 3-course table d’hôte menu (table reservations are essential).

The hotel is ideally located to explore the North East of England and more, being just 11 mi south of Newcastle, 8.1 mi north of Durham and 12 mi west of Sunderland.
