The setting is absolutely stunning. We stayed in the Hansard Suite and this was a great size, the sofa is super comfy and the 4 poster bed is very comfortable. The restaurant food was outstanding and we cannot give enough praise to Ashley the restaurant manager and the young man on front of house reception who made our experience so exquisite.

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.

All good except levels of noise by other guests in adjacent rooms. Heat in the room, it was too hot, no a/c and only one window would open. Fan provided by staff made more noise than it provided cooler air.

Overnight stop on way further North

Walworth Hall is a great hotel set in a castle! Everything was perfect .... well almost! We had booked a suite, which was everything we wished for except it was on the top floor! There are no lifts and so our room was only accessible by climbing the stairs. As we are both over the age of 80, this was pretty tiring! Fortunately we were only staying one night. I would definitely recommend the hotel as an amazing place to stay but if we stay there again, we would request a room on a lower floor!

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
