    The room was nice ... comfy 4 poster bed and a hidden through the wardrobe bathroom. Staff were great
    Parking on arrival was a nightmare as there were a few functions on at the time... I had to park around the back of the castle and move my car in the morning when other guests had left. Our room toilet sprang a leak too.

    Room was very nice but could have been a little warmer. Heating was on but had to use a fan blower later in the evening which was a bit noisy while watching TV. Food at breakfast and dinner was exceptional.
    Wood paneling on the walls was dusty. Pillow cases did not fit the pillows correctly. General appearance of the room could have done with freshening up a little. TV was old and small for a superior room advertised. In summary i would have expected a little more from a room that cost 207 per night. Having said that we thoroughly enjoyed the experience of staying in a castle.

    My wife and I just love it Lumley. We had our wedding reception there ten years ago. The rooms, the library bar the restaurant experience and of course Poppet the castle cat. We will be returning in a few months.

    Disappointed overall, but nice to be in a castle.
    Was really special to stay in a castle, and it was great that you are encouraged to explore in your own time
    I understand it is a very old property, but the bathroom facilities were very dated (not 600years dated, I mean they are probably due another modern clean up). The room wasnt entirely clean. It was very expensive and it just felt that we should have had a clean room and the bathroom could have been nicer. I bought the stay as a gift for my partner, but I definitely wouldnt return again for the cost.
