Lovely

Andrew, West Yorkshire, stayed: January 2025

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.

Amazing Hotel

Dave H, Derbyshire, stayed: January 2025

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

Bill and Kim, stayed: January 2025

Great stay only complaint is that the lighting across the court yard to the reception desk is very poor you could have brighter lights that perhaps come on only when people are passing near them . Another thing we found confusing was the direction signs to the dinning room etc.However everything lelse was top marks we stayed in room 38 which was great,. We will I hope one day return. Thank you.
Ps the laid out breakfast room was fantastic with its continental
Breakfast.
