Trip Advisor Rating '.$item_trip.' Our Rating 8.4
 

Lumley Castle, a magnificent Grade I listed monument that has dominated the County Durham landscape for over 630 years, stands as a spectacular testament to a bygone age of chivalry and honour.

Surrounded by beautiful parklands overlooking the River Wear and Durham County Cricket Ground, this historic castle hotel offers a unique and unforgettable retreat, blending medieval grandeur with luxurious comforts and warm hospitality in one of the North East's most iconic settings.

The 71 luxurious and uniquely designed bedrooms feature elegant drapes, four-poster beds, feature baths, and stunning views in many rooms, all with complimentary WiFi—creating opulent spaces that evoke the castle's rich past while providing every modern amenity for a truly indulgent stay.

Dine in the splendor of the newly refurbished Knights Restaurant, offering seasonal à la carte menus and an extensive selection of fine wines (table reservations essential). Guests can also enjoy sumptuous afternoon tea, relax in the newly refurbished Library Bar, or experience the intimate private dining options in a setting steeped in history and elegance.

Lumley Castle is the first and only historic site in the UK to feature its own immersive Escape Room - Lily of Lumley - delivering a thrilling and unforgettable adventure. With its ideal location just 11 miles south of Newcastle, 8.1 miles north of Durham, and 12 miles west of Sunderland, this exceptional castle hotel provides a perfect base for exploring the North East of England and beyond, combining historic splendour, exquisite dining, and the magic of a truly unique stay.
