Janis F, Cambridge, visiting Seat Unique Riverside Tue, 4 July 2023

Overall a lovely place to stay, very cosy, comfortable and relaxing....

Liked: A real castle! Very comfortable and cosy and the staff and my room were lovely!
Disliked: I wish that the restaurant had been opened at all times and that the bar had more variety in respect of special diets. For non-drivers it was a very long walk to the road, to the bus stop - a little lift option would have been lovely as I hurt my ankles with walking backwards and forward up that slope!

Very good

Liked: Ambiance, friendly team, good location, excellent breakfast, staff are helpful. Room was very comfortable and nice and warm. Had a very good night's sleep. Love that there is a hotel cat.
Disliked: Markings in the courtyard carpark could be helpful, as there are some selfish and/or thoughtless drivers. Inside of the room windows had black mould on them at the bottom by the paint work, generally could have done with a good clean. Didn't like that we had to leave our dog in the car when we had breakfast, perhaps the smaller room at the side of the restaurant could be used for guests accompanied by their dog?

Great experience

Liked: My husband and I love visiting Lumley Castle..The rooms are clean beds super comfortable..The staff are lovely and welcoming..Nothing is to much trouble..The food is delicious, and the breakfast is scrumptious. Especially the waffles, maybe syrup and bacon...Spoilt for choice..Seeing Poppet the cat is also another highlight of our stay...

Lovely festive stay

Liked: Very exciting place - never stayed in a castle before! Room was nice and warm and bed very comfy. Looking b festive
Disliked: There was not really enough car parking for the number of people visiting (many functions on) and a shame all the cars are around the front of the property - would it not be possible to have a larger car park at the side??
