Lovely venue
Our first impressions were amazing and the staff were all lovely and friendly. Check in was a little slow, as a call came in as we were about to check in. Lovely welcoming atmosphere and the lounge was a welcome area to relax. The food was amazing and the staff were attentive. The only downside was our standard double room was extremely small..... everything else was spot on.

Fabulous historic castle stay!
We absolutely loved this castle hotel. What a wonderful feeling when pulling onto drive seeing castle tower. Checkin was quick and efficient. Room in West Wing had everything you need and nice view onto garden. Had a wander round the castle and discovered dungeon and function rooms complete with suits of armour! Enjoyed drink in lounge bar which was lovely. Nice breakfast was served in very atmospheric dining area - loved it. Mary on reception was awesome, very friendly and helpful. If ever in the area again this would be my first choice of hotel - ideal for KYREN show which if you don't know already is absolutely fantastic! Well done to all at Walworth Castle for a most enjoyable stay.
