"Great place to stay.Happy helpful staff. Clean and up to date room. Coffee the way I like it available in the lobby."

Lumley Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautifully maintained Castle and grounds. Room was exceptional, makes you feel like a king or queen. Nice quiet bar to have a drink, great dining room and quality food. Great cooked to order English breakfast. Everything was great. It set a stand for us for the rest of our castle hotel search. I would stay here anytime. One suggestion though is to have soothing, calming music at breakfast, as background music, instead of 'hit parade'."
