Excellent staff and customer service, nothing was too much trouble. Meal in the knights restaurant was second to none.
United KingdomFantastic location and surroundings. Lovely setting in the castle. Very unique atmosphere. Staff were delightful, there was a mix up regarding the room type double/twin and without any qualms they immediately upgraded it to a lovely room in the actual castle....... amazing and very professional. The service and food in restaurant was excellent. Thank you Lumley Castle, you made me and my daughter’s stay magical.

United KingdomIt’s an actual castle! Very cool, with excellent food, service and ambiance. England hotels do not have air conditioning so beware if you are traveling during hot conditions. Our second floor room was hot and even with fans it took to the middle of the night for the temp to become tolerable.
