Lumley Castle is no ordinary Hotel. Steeped in centuries of tradition and history, visitors can experience the luxury and opulence of years gone by. Staff dressed in period costume, atmospheric lighting and rooms, which are faithfully decorated to evoke the past, are just some of the treats that Lumley Castle has in store. The Castle has 59 individually designed bedchambers each with their own unique style. Many boast unique features including hidden bathrooms, which can be found behind a bookcase or by walking through a wardrobe. For a truly remarkable experience, guests can indulge themselves in the King James Suite, a magnificent bedchamber which boasts an ornate 20ft-high Queen Anne four-poster bed. Fine dining in the sumptuous Black Knight restaurant (or intimate private dining rooms for special events if you prefer) is also part of the Lumley experience, unless you prefer an evening of fun, feasting ad merriment at the award-winning Elizabethan banquets. Armed only with a dagger and a bib, you can enjoy a five-course meal in the Baron?s Hall and be entertained with songs and sketches from an era long gone. A warm welcome awaits as we invite you to step straight into the history books and enjoy the unique experience that is Lumley Castle Hotel.
