Within easy driving distance of Newcastle, Durham and Sunderland, the magnificent spectacle of Lumley Castle has dominated the County Durham landscape for over 630 years.

Nice clean room, and decor was pleasant. Coffee and tea facilities provided - Asked for fresh milk, and got no problem on arrival. Done the job for a night, wasn't bad, was just okay. Pub itself seemed busy, and had a singer on in the evening. Not family friendly, more ideal for couples. Even tho a pub was below, I didn't find it noisy in the evening and room was warm enough.

The room was tiny, about half the size of a travelodge or premier inn. Very old fashioned and poorly lit. I wouldn’t have booked if I’d known we would be given such a tiny room and won’t be booking to stay there again.

I was visiting family for a 50th birthday, who lived less than 5 minutes travel away. Ideal location for Durham & Newcastle. Stormy weather prevented us from doing more. The room was a good retreat with a book. Function room ideal for the party.

Chester le Street is a fine town in the centre of historical County Durham. The whole region has many historical attractions which should be of great interest to people in search of the regional culture . The rail service to Durham is very well supported . Road wise The A1M is one of the main arteries in England . As a road and rail traveller , I find it convenient to get to where I need to relatively quickly . Well worth a visit .

I went to school in Chester le Street many years ago so I know the area very well, I now live in Scotland so a visit, although just overnight was excellent. It’s a very historical area with the cathedral and castle in Durham just above the river Wear and has very much ‘Oldie World Charm’. The cathedral has St Cuthbert’s bones laid to rest there and there’s so much more history in the area including two more castles at Chester le Street, Lumley and Lambton ( where the famous ‘Lambton Worm’ song comes from.) It was a very short, sweet visit but the hotel was excellent.

So much to love and enjoy at Lumley.
So much to love and enjoy at Lumley. The historic location and building are exceptional. The beautiful grounds and planting greet you first, there must be a team of skilled gardeners maintaining it. Inside the castle it's snug and welcoming and the music is gentle, relaxing and unobtrusive. The food was fabulous. I had a lamb dish followed by sticky toffee pudding, I highly recommend both. I noticed the interesting vegetarian alternatives on the menu. Breakfast was a delight, a buffet with cold meats, cheeses, breads, fruit salads, yogurts, breads, etc. And of course a good choice of cooked breakfasts. We had the full English breakfast, very tasty, next time I'm going to try the Craster Kippers. Our room was lovely, we stayed in a superior Courtyard Room. The bed was huge and extremely comfortable. The shower was powerful and easy to operate. All the staff were friendly and so willing to help. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. We spent time sitting in the Library Bar or outside in the secret garden. It was a very relaxing stay and we felt very well looked after. To top it all, in the morning when we were checking out Lady Poppet Lumley took time to chat with us, in all her feline loveliness. Thank you everyone at Lumley for a wonderful stay.

Lots of history,if you choose to look for it .
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.
