This is a lovely hotel with a wealth of history and about the only fault I can find with it is the relatively expensive but poor quality breakfast.

This was our 2nd visit to Lumley Castle. We stayed in the courtyard again, but this time the room was on the ground floor. It was a much better room for us, my partner struggled with how dusty the room was last time as it had ceiling beams, this room had less places for it to collect so his allergies weren't triggered. Its a great place to stay, the staff are hardworking and friendly. The breakfast is fresh and hot. Theres plenty of parking, and its a fairly quiet place to stay. You can hear floorboards creaking when people are walking around but thats about it. We'll definitely be back as its such as good base to go exploring.

Loved the location and the building itself. Staff service was really excellent and we enjoyed the food we had: breakfast, dinner and sharing platter in the bar. Our room was clean and serviced daily but the bathroom was really in need of attention. There was mould in parts of the shower, and it all looked rather tired and worn.

Lovely room, spacious, comfy bed definitely recommend this hotel. Only thing I was disappointed with was limited bar meals after 5pm for vegetarians. I think sandwich options need to extended so available in the evenings.

We added a trip to stay at Lumley Castle at the end of our Scotland trip because of the similarity to our last name. I'm so glad we did. We stayed in a State Bedroom in the Castle. Because they had no events scheduled for the night we were there we were allowed to explore. It is so well preserved. It was a magical place. One of the staff, Jack took his break to give us a small tour and tell us some ghost stories. The bar was welcoming, High Tea was all we wanted it to be and dinner was excellent. Our trip to the castle was one of the highlights of our trip. I would suggest getting a cab or uber from the train station to the castle. Its quite a walk.

If you fancy sleeping like a medieval king or queen then this is the place for you. We were in a room up umpteen concrete steps and then a narrow concrete spiral staircase to a room smelling of cigarettes and dull as hell. Not for me, left a day early. Seriously if you have mobility problems get a court yard room

We liked the setting and the look of the castle we thought the breakfast was very good and also the staff were very Welcoming and Helpful . We felt the room was very tired looking, we were very cold in the room and had to resort to sitting with the fan heater on that was in the wardrobe , not Really acceptable for 2024 but we had very pleasant stay non the less .
