“Wonderful castle hotel”
Lumley Castle hotel was a wonderful experience. We had a standard room on Dec 23, which was small, but well decorated and very clean. Our bathroom was huge compared to our room and included a non-working old fireplace, but I supose it made it feel more luxurious. We enjoyed an hour or more wandering and exploring the old hotel and got turned mixed-up in our directions more than once. Serice and friendliness of staff was so excellent we tried to stay for two more nights, but they are a family owned-operated hotel and close for 24-25 Christmas holiday. Breakfast was included in our rate and it was excellent, we also took a small dinner in the bar, though sadly we chose not to experience a proper meal in the dining room. The hotel itself exuded old-world atmosphere (though again, very clean and tasteful) that is not to be experienced anywhere in the USA, so was a real treat for us. The value and price for this hotel compared with many others we stayed in UK over two weeks was unbelievable. We are looking forward to another visit where we will try a feature room and enjoy a longer stay.
