We stayed as a group of 5 friends on our annual weekend away. We actually didn't stay in the hotel but stayed in the lovely castle lodge with its own hot tub. Spotlessly clean, great facilities. We usually go somewhere different every year but plan to come back here.
We ate in the hotel on Saturday night and again for Sunday lunch. The restaurant was full and I'm not surprised. The food was excellent, best Sunday lunch I've had in ages.
The manager was so nice and gave us a guided tour of the hotel, including the dungeon. He was clearly very proud of the place, and rightly so, it's fascinating and lovely. His wife was so cheery and welcoming too, made us feel so relaxed and at home.
For those people who have said the rooms are dated, then perhaps stick with Premier Inns. This is a castle built in the 1100's and the rooms are in keeping with its history. If you can't appreciate that, then it's a shame for you. We loved the place and definitely plan to return to stay in the hotel.
It was dreadful to hear that some people have been asked to leave because of their abusive behaviour towards the staff. What on earth is wrong with people?
Well done to you all at Walworth and thank you for our lovely welcome.

I booked this as a Christmas present for my brother and his fiance. I upgraded to a 4 poster room. My brother sent me a picture the sheets were crumpled the four poster was merely a frame. It's was very basic and not at all luxurious as advertised. The room was also very basic with not even a bottle of water.

We initially intended to stop overnight in the Lake District as a Christmas present for my wife but due to the awful weather, we rebooked somewhere a bit closed (Walworth Castle) and what a great decision that was! The castle was built in the 11th century and is a Grade 1 listed building so not the warmest of places but we were never cold in the time we were there. We booked a 4 Poster castle room which was fantastic but due to a last minute cancellation we were offered the opportunity to upgrade for free, which we jumped at and our upgraded room was even better, what a great start to our overnight stay. After a bath we went downstairs to the very comfortable residence lounge before heading into the eating area for our evening meals and boy what a treat we were in for. Both meals (main and sweet) were superb and a very good portion as well, something I found very refreshing and we both cleaned our plates. We were waited on by two young but excellent people Henry and (I forget the young girls name), who were very friendly, made us feel very welcome and both were very informative. Our bed was super comfortable, so we both had a good night’s sleep, despite the castle supposedly being haunted. When we initially checked in we met the wonderful Lisa who was brilliant all night (a real star) and she gave us a tour around the castle dungeons, which you can hire out for an alternative wedding if you so wish. The castle ballroom caters for both traditional and none traditional weddings, a perfect venue for a wedding or just a romantic weekend away in an old castle. The morning breakfast was just as good (and filling) as the pervious nights evening meal and the food there has got to be the best we have ever had anywhere and we go away for an overnight stay once a month every month – we will be back to Walworth Castle again in the future, we loved it there!
