Lumley Castle Hotel Durham 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 Hotel has 74 individually designed bedrooms- 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 bedroom 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 and merriment at the award-winning Elizabethan banquets.
