Stay at Lumley Castle
Very good location for visiting Durham and area around.
Very good restaurant - food quality AND super helpful staff
Lumley was really enjoyable.
The thrill of staying 2 nights in a genuine 14th century castle was not to be missed. I remember thinking that it must be great to work in such a place and that led me to realise why all the staff were so good. I remember at breakfast my wife mentioned she d seen marmalade on the cereals table next door. I said that I was off to fetch some when a waitress overheard and said I ll get you some from the kitchen. The reception staff were also very attentive and helpful.
The castle is very rustic and adornments such as carpets and tapestries are a little threadbare looking. But believe me, that really adds to the authenticity of the place. The room which had a nice balance of history and contemporary atmosphere was the dining room - very cosy and comfortable. And the line caught stone bass was so good we both had it each evening.
We loved the place and would go back again. Some of our friends have been twice too.
We felt really well looked after.
Long Live Lumley !!
