Ulasan Lumley Castle Hotel

The hotel was lovely. The downside was that the staff were not friendly or engaging at all at check in and our room was not serviced, though I had asked it to be serviced. My husband had to go to reception to get more tea milk and coffee and then we asked for some more they were reluctant to give it ! The staff at check out were very nice.

Quality hotel in a well maintained historic building which makes a refreshing change to the plastic accommodation thrown up today. Staff friendly and attentive, pity about the internet being down for maintenance which took the edge off my stay which was semi business but these things happen.

The drive up to the castle was was fantastic as the view of the castle looked stunning. The entrance to the court yard for parking was quaint and inviting. The look of the court yard looking at all the out buildings looked inviting and very well presented. The “stocks” make for great entertainment The entrance to the reception is like looking for the secret door but the plaque at the side with history information explains why and is interesting to read. Inside the reception is is quite dark but this for me added to the ambience of the place. The staff where welcoming, polite and explained the hotel set up. We stayed in one of the room in the courtyard which was beautiful. Very nicely decorated and good value for money. The room was cozy. We’d booked to have a meal in the Knights Restaurant and we had pre drinks in the bar first The walk to the restaurant through the corridor into the central courtyard was very different yet beautiful. It’s so old and it was nice to see it was decorated and kept within “keeping” The bar again was inviting and cosy and it was great to see that the drinks and wine list was very reasonably priced. So often places know you are a target audience and inflate the prices ridiculously however in our opinion the castle had not done this. There was a good choice of cocktails and the “smoked” cocktails added that something a little bit different and we didn’t mind paying a few pounds more for the “quirkiness”. Again the staff where very professional, friendly and well presented. The walk from the bar/lounge area to the Knights Restaurant was stunning through the corridors of the castle and past a lovely looking staircase and when we walked into the restaurant I was overwhelmed as it was stunning and not what I was expecting. The arched ceiling, the lighting, the privacy of how the tables where set out we felt was very nice. We thought it all created a romantic setting. It was very secluded but included. The menu choice was good and the food was beautiful. The service was great too and again the staff were very professional, polite and very well presented. The prices on the menu varied so I would say they’d catered fo most people’s budget and it was your own choice on how much you spend Our nights sleep was comfortable and the walk back from the restaurant to the courtyard was well lit but again in keeping with been in a castle environment. Great use of mood lighting. My husband even went into the stocks on the was home (🤣) Breakfast the next morning again did not disappoint. The selection was fantastic and plenty of food to choice from Overall we can can not fault our experience. It was a lively venue with great facilities and very well presented. The staff where Courteous, polite, friendly and very well presented. I would recommend this as a place to go and stay. We must go back so we can stay in one of the castle rooms as I am sure they would be as good and maybe even more “quirkier” than the courtyard rooms which were very nice.

This was just what we needed a quite and amazing hotel were we could relax X So peaceful and what a beautiful castle and surroundings Xx The food especially breakfast was amazing, tasty and locally sourced meet X this is our first time at Durham and we absolutely loved it in Seaham on the glass beach Xx perfect for couples and can't wait to bring our children 😀 😍 xx

古堡歷史悠久，走進古城堡有和古人握手的感覺，非常真實的200年時光穿越，特別是歺廳就歺，先在古堡底通道來回穿行，繞過映着蘭光深達數米的深井口，再通過一段陳列着收藏品的走廊，進入歺廳燭光幽暗，神祕感極強。小院幽靜，環境超級棒，房後山谷溪流，是早上跑步極佳選擇地。古堡正殿牆上掛滿中世紀油畫和歐洲瓷器，顯示了家族興旺。這裏休閑旅遊度假的首選之地。

Staff appeared to be very disinterested and not engaged at all. Little or no sound proofing between the rooms….

We had a room for our daughters wedding. The room was clean comfortable and warm . The breakfast was plentiful with loads of choice. We had a few drinks in the bar after the wedding and it was lovely and cosy . Staff were all very efficient and served us very well .

We stayed for one night for our wedding anniversary and it was beautiful! If I was to have any suggestions, better toilet facilities for ladies in the dining/bar area would be wonderful!

The positives were that the staff were very friendly, food was good and breakfast was excellent. The room was very clean although very warm. A little disappointed that there wasn’t as much information about the castle history as I would have liked and at £9.25 for a glass of wine I think we would have visited the bar for longer had it been a tad more reasonably priced. A beautiful castle to visit and all in all a pleasant stay.

Lovely quirqy place. But if eating in the bar very limited menu that wascnot even fully available. Ie 2 3 main choosers reduced to 2

Cobwebs. Food crumbs under glass cover on top of desk. Wires hanging out of walls and switches. The furniture has seen better days, very tired and damaged. The place is lovely and would recommend seeing it. Don't stay til they've refurbished it though.

Beautiful place to stay.A welcome change to the usual. Every corner you turned there was something interesting there. Breakfast was amazing.

Room was lovely. Grounds are amazing. Good food. The room was quite cold even with the radiators on.

Castle-had high hopes but turned out we were disappointed with the accommodation. Quirkiness outweighed by lack of modern equipment and facilities. From a catering perspective we enjoyed the stay with a quality offer.
