Everything in the room comfortable and clean. Car park behind hotel (£17 for 24 hours payable on an app). We didn’t stay for breakfast or use any other facilities this time so can’t comment on those but would stay at this hotel again.

Lots of history,if you choose to look for it . Laid back ,with nice friendly Geordies only to happy to help you, with advice and directions . Do not forget to take home a tub of pease pudding and a stotti cake ( flat bread cake ) . Stotti ,ham and a thick layer of pease pud ,is addictive. Also sample the local corned beef lattice pie ,with a touch of brown sauce , very tasty. Go and have a coffee or a breakfast,at Lumley castle , you won't regret it . A lovely, centuries old , place ,full of character,with lovely staff.

Chester-Le-Street has had a poor reputation for along time but that is the past and the new Chester-Le-Street is improving significantly. Worth a visit and definitely if you get a chance to stay overnight at Lumley Castle. Real value for money and food is exceptional. Highly recommended just for the breakfast and dinner.

Very good value for money, breakfast included. Room was clean and the bed comfortable.
Only irritating issue was the bed, which had a large frame! Resulting in bang on the knee or, if avoiding it, a bang on the head from the tv :-)

My husband and I always book into the Lambton Worm when we visit family in Durham and look forward to staying there very much. There is a very friendly atmosphere, quirky furniture and decor and the food is excellent. We find it great value for money and very relaxing.

Beautiful main building.
Beautiful main building. Our room was small and a litle shabby but for the money and the location it was worth it.
Problem is food and wine. We wanted bar food. £18 for an ok burger with 10 chips but £20 for fish and chips - tiny bit of fish- is absurd. Wine over priced (no glass under £9???) Sort a sesnibly priced menu out please (oh and it took 50 minutes from odering).
Reason I haven't given a worse rating is breakfast which was excellent. Thank you for that.

Fantastic hotel, comfy beds, clean and spacious rooms. Breakfast was just fantastic- arguably the best breakfast we've had in a long while. The pub food was also brilliant (we had pizzas).
The staff were very friendly, always smiling, and particularly helpful when we needed a travel cot and they didn't have one so the staff went out and bought one for us. So helpful. We really appreciated that so thank you! Would 100% recommend.
Friendliness of all the staff and the locals. Reasonable priced food and drink plus got 10% discount on food and drink for being a hotel guest. Everywhere was kept spotless . The food was very good, well cooked and plenty. The rooms were a good size clean with plenty extras. The only thing I would improve is to have two brighter lamps by the bed side table. Beside that perfect
The staff at the Lumley Hotel were exceptionally friendly and everyone had a smile. The hotel was very clean and comfortable. The food was lovely and I felt the servers went beyond our expectations to make us feel special while dining. I would like to give Nathen and Ed a huge Thank You for all they did for us making our stay extra special and making us feel at home.
We have stayed in other historical hotels and have often been disappointed. However, Castle Lumley did not disappoint. It retains its old charm as well as being a very comfortable place to stay. The staff were welcoming and helpful and the Castle an authentic piece of history. We would recommend this hotel is you want to step back in history.
We loved everything about this hotel! We were hoping for an "authentic" castle experience for our honeymoon, and our state room did not disappoint. The decor in our room, including a "secret" door, was incredible. Staff was wonderful. We also had both dinner and breakfast in the on-site restaurant, and they were delicious.
Lovely staff and felt very welcomed. Room was big enough and very clean. Pleasantly surprised that towels were refreshed every day and tea / coffees / biscuits were replenished.
Really appreciated that the hotel let me to bring a couple of guests for breakfast one morning, for a very reasonable additional charge.
I visit this site every 10 weeks on business. The staff know me as I walk through the door. As a single female travelling finding hotels where you feel comfortable and welcome is so important. I would recommend this site day in day out,
Told me at 1300 on the arrival day couldn’t have the property. Totally unacceptable had to find another hotel in Chester le street at a further cost . I’d never recommend anyone stop here after my experience. A shambles
An overnight stopover on a long journey north to south. The hotel was perfect and the staff were engaging, friendly and very helpful. Ideal location for local town and also close to Durham.
Beautiful hotel which has kept its unique character. Our room was amazing and in keeping with the ambiance of the castle. Food in the restaurant was exceptional.
