Staff exceptional, esp Dale and Ashley. They took marvellous and personal care of us.
The Castle itself is showing its age. The mattress in our room needs replacing. We had a suite in one of the towers, which was huge, with a massive sitting room, but it was at the very top, only accessible by stairs, so unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues.
The evening meal and cooked breakfasts were delicious and cooked to order, a rare experience in this day and age.

Amazing stay, lovely, friendly staff. Gorgeous building and lovely food. Would definitely recommend and go back too 🙂staff even showed us the dungeon, which we didn’t know they had. It really is a lovely place to stay 🙂

Lovely location and staff. Shower was a bit difficult to get working and pressure was poor, but it's an old castle.
Some extra charges for a cot, even though the room was booked as 2 adults with 1 toddler, not sure if hotels.com or the actual hotel's problem but something between them one way or another. Made the trip look cheaper than it was.

Staff were lovely and friendly and room was large. Double bed was actually two singles which is always disappointing and bathroom was a bit tired but castle itself was lovely and very interesting.

Our stay at Walworth Castle Hotel was truly memorable, not just because of the stunning setting, but thanks to the incredible staff who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.
Adrian, part of the breakfast team at the 1189 Kitchen & Bar, was friendly, attentive, and made sure we started each morning with a smile. The service was excellent, and his warm demeanor really stood out.
A special thank you to Mary at reception, who took the time—despite it being a busy period—to personally show us the castle’s dungeon. It was such a thoughtful gesture and added an unexpected and fascinating highlight to our stay. Her enthusiasm and kindness made a big impression on us.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and welcoming getaway.
