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.

Lovely place. Great room (bed was a bit hard for my liking) Staff were great My only issue was the buttermilk chicken salad as a main, which left a lot to be desired (4 small pieces of overdone, very crispy dark brown chicken on a bed of rocket and 2 small tomatoes cut in half, for £16)

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!
