Top Durham Hotel Reviews

Lumley Castle Hotel

Lumley Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"A very unique place to stay. The staff were so friendly and helpful, I couldn’t praise them enough, especially the breakfast staff and the Library bar staff. They were always smiling and happy to chat. We stayed in a courtyard superior room that was very big with a very large and comfortable bed. We were on the ground floor and were able to park our car by the room each day. The stairs and floor in the bedroom above us were very creaky but it’s to be expected with the age of the property. Breakfast had lots of choices and was very enjoyable. We ate in the Library Bar most evenings and the food was amazing! The outdoor terrace was a lovely place to sit in the evenings. The castle itself was stunning with lots of original features. I would highly recommend it and hope to visit again."

8/10 Good
"We tried to sign in on line but the link didn't work. We had to complete the sign in which took ages. The screen form was certainly not user friendly. No address look up from a post code, didn't recognise England as a country, or UK or Great Britain. What a welcome to the hotel! Room was ok but no opening windows so it was like a sauna. There was a fan in the room. Breakfast was excellent made better by the attention given by Michael and Lorraine. If you need a bus Lorraine knows the best way to get from A to B."
