Quiet and comfortable hotel, set in lovely grounds. Breakfast delicious.. some aspects of the building's decoration is a little tired due to the age of the property.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the only (slight problem) was a double bed instead of a king size. Although neither of us are disabled we both have mobility issues at the moment, we requested a room on the ground floor which was not a problem. A nice touch on leaving they gave us a bottle of water each for our onward journey
Booked a night away for my girlfriend's 40th birthday. We had an amazing time. The staff were so friendly and helpful, especially Abigail on reception and Ashleigh in the restaurant. The castle room was really comfortable and we will certainly be returning. The food was exceptional too. It really was the perfect little getaway that we needed. Thanks to Walworth Castle for a lovely weekend. Such a welcoming place!
