Amazing Hotel
Our stay was amazing at Lumley Castle, all the staff from arrival to departure could not have been better, friendly, helpful and very professional. Our State Room was splendid, very luxurious and warn considering the freezing temperatures outside. We enjoyed some amazing food in the restaurant and hope to return later in the year. Highly recommended
Lovely
A beautiful building in a super location. Excellent staff in the dining room; reception less so - the chap rather smug. So much to praise in terms of the building but the plastic statuettes and false flowers inside rather let things down. The steaks overpriced but what a beautiful restaurant and the monkfish was superb. Lauryn in the restaurant was outstanding, as good as it is possible to be. Breakfast was excellent.
So much to praise and yet Lumley Castle is 4* rather than 5. It is so beautiful that one cannot help thinking opportunities are being missed. With so much going for it, the prices expensive, it really should be offering a greater sense of luxury. But we loved our stay. I think the fact of all the staff who we met, most very good, only Lauryn was of the highest quality, stops me giving our stay 5*.
Superbly located.
Stunning Castle
Very welcoming staff on reception, room was in courtyard and was warm and well presented. Food was good but not outstanding.
Our only niggle was given choice of eating at 6.30 or 8pm. We chose 8pm but looked in at restaurant at 6.30 and not one person was in, and at the later time was only a handful of people, it wasn't as if a large group or party was taking place.
Surroundings where spectacular and staff happy to let us have a look around.
