The castle was beautiful and a great stay for our group. Since there is no air conditioning, the rooms were very hot, making sleep difficult so having proper fans for guest rooms would have been appreciated. Other than that, the hotel and grounds were beautiful.

Walworth castle exceeded our expectations. From start to finish it was fantastic and our daughter enjoyed her birthday stay. The staff were lovely. Breakfast was great with lots of choice. The castle itself is beautiful and the grounds are all very well maintained. The dungeon and play park was a hit with our girls and they’re still talking about it a week later. Our only regret was staying for just one night! A little happy birthday message left in the room for our daughter was a nice touch, thank you!

Plentiful, easy parking - just enter reg on check in. Great helpful polite staff, from reception to dinner to breakfast. Small room with smaller bathroom - but perfectly fine for 1 night. Room 12 west wing - the heating/radiator/pipes make a dreadful loud humming, goes off at 9pm thankfully but does come back on at 6am (despite staff saying 7am) - not ideal if you value a lie in!
