럼리 캐슬 호텔(Lumley Castle Hotel)

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。

I am going to celebrate my husband's wedding. The hotel is cosy and unique, it has a nice restaurant where we had dinner and breakfast during our stay, and a small library bar where you can chill with friends. The room is spacious and warm, we love this hotel.

A beautiful idyllic setting … only fault was the water wasn’t hot enough to have a shower .. and didn’t have a Wi-Fi code ..

Lovely property-a lot to like. The staff are excellent. The food is average. Is expensive but well worth a short stay.

Beautiful castle and grounds. Its a bit like a maze getting round it. Lots of stunningly beautiful rooms to relax and chill and have a drink or two. Drinks are not cheap but priced around the going rate. Its a great base to explore surrounding towns. We were staying as family of 10 enjoying the run up to Christmas in a beautiflly decorated castle. The only let down for us was the feble camp beds that we had to use for our 8 and 6yr old. They were uncomfortable and sunken in middle giving little support.

the property is wonderfully charming, the staff are friendly and attentive, the food could not have been better. We had dinner in the bar, and the breakfast service the next day, and both were just superb. We upgraded to a tower room, and it was spacious and full of thoughtful details, like a hidden passage behind a book shelf to the toilet/powder room. It was a treat to get a modern day castle experience. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the wifi was excellent….and overall we were very happy with the experience. This property is not recommended to anyone with mobility issues as its many stairs, passageways and uneven floors you have to carry your luggage through to get to your room. There are cottages in the courtyard that are more accessible, but accessing anything else on the property would be quite challenging. The room was very luxuriously fitted in the 1980s or 90s when it was likely last updated…faded /worn fabrics, red rumpled carpet and stained walls in the washroom, It looks quite tired, and could benefit from a refurbishment but was clean and perfectly comfortable. It was superbly quiet, and we had an excellent sleep We loved seeing Poppet and the cozy fireplaces in the lounge were so inviting…loads of charming details all over the property. It was fun to explore and quite the adventure just locating our room
