I want to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to Sarah at the hotel for making everything run smoothly and she is worth every penny she gets paid if not more a real asset to the staff at Walworth castle Hotel. We will definitely be booking again . Thank you so much . X
Brilliant beautiful place, loved our stay. Staff very helpful and polite, beds very comfortable and very clean room.
We rate Walworth Castle very highly as a hotel. Our room in the castle tower was very comfortable and clean with a good view over the castle grounds. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the morning and evening meals were excellent with very generous portions. We certainly hope to stay in the castle again in future.
It was a great place to stay, we had a great time. The service was not the same as you would imagine in a "normal" hotel, the hotel may be slightly understaffed, but the girl on reception did help out. Well worth a visit.
Brilliant had a wonderful day/evening and will stay again as staff so friendly and helpful.
