A real gem with great history

I was born near here and had no idea this property was here. I loved the position of it, the history and the excellent service.

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.

We stayed in a standard room which was very small ,mattress was substandard and the bathroom appears to have been housed in a cupboard the shower provided a poor level of pressure and it went from hot to nearly scalding myself. Some of the staff were friendly and helpful breakfast was fair and hot and grounds were clean and tidy.Thus could be beautiful but not working the price

Lovely location and friendly staff

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.
