W well-located Hotel with friendly staff and good food. The Hotel is a bit dated in its appearance and could be at an upper grade if rooms/bathroom had more standard items eg hairdryer, draw/shelf space). A ceiling leaking water into a bucket was not the fault of staff but did not create a good impression in reception.
The bed was good for sleeping. The hotel provided great service and we were warmly welcomed by the staff. Although the breakfast didn’t have many choices, the taste was good. The hotel also has a parking lot, which is very convenient.
We hadden twee nachten geboekt om het Beamish Museum te bezoeken. We reisden met de trein. Vanaf het station was het een stukje lopen, deels bergopwaarts, naar het kasteel, wat ongeveer 30 minuten duurde. Een Uber kostte £8, de bus was vrij ingewikkeld.
Er is een bus van het centrum naar het hotel, maar die is vrij ingewikkeld. Als je niet kunt lopen, is het aan te raden een Uber te boeken. De bus van het centrum naar de ingang van Beamish was heel gemakkelijk te bereiken, £2,50.
En dan het kasteel zelf. Je kunt niet anders dan verliefd worden op het schilderachtige en ietwat vervallen kasteel; het 'vervallen' is juist een deel van de charme. We verbleven in de stallen, op een kamer op de bovenverdieping. De trap is vrij smal met kleine bordessen, dus niet geschikt voor mensen met heup- of kuitproblemen. Het bed, het beddengoed en de badkamer waren brandschoon en zeer comfortabel. De kamer was erg rustig, met 's ochtends vroeg het gezang van vogels. De badkamer had een aparte vergrootspiegel, wat erg prettig was. Een minpuntje was het stof op de balken boven het bed, vandaar de lagere score voor netheid.
En dan nu het ontbijt en de restaurantservice. Onberispelijk. Eten van de hoogste kwaliteit met een bijpassende service. Het ontbijt doet niet onder voor de 5-sterrenhotels in Londen.
Al met al was dit hotel uitzonderlijk goed geprijsd en een plek waar we zeker nog eens terug willen komen. We raden dit hotel van harte aan aan iedereen die Beamish bezoekt en houdt van lekker eten, iets bijzonders, rust en stilte, en een heerlijk bad.

A very pleasant stopover stay on a journey north. Plenty of car parking, food was good (we got a great deal on a 3 course set menu for £20), cooked breakfast was really tasty and cooked fresh to order, the grounds and setting were lovely.
We were put in a very small room on the 3rd floor. The lift only goes to the 2nd floor. The lift that goes to the 3rd floor was marked out of order. We are both in our late 70s and had to carry our bags along a corridor and up about 40 stairs. No member of staff offered to help. As we were going to check out we noticed a member of staff using the lift to the 3rd floor.

Very Good
JJohnDeer62Best Western Walworth Castle Hotel looks like you’re about to stay in a medieval fortress, but the experience is closer to a slightly ******* Premier Inn with turrets.
The castle exterior is genuinely impressive. The inside feels like it was last renovated during the English Civil War. Creaky floors, questionable décor, piggy smell breakfasts and recepcionist smile thicker than the castle walls.
That said, it’s strangely charming in the same way old pubs and abandoned stately homes are charming. Not luxurious, not modern, but definitely memorable.
HHaoyun WangThe size of the room is specious with sufficient space for storing luggage, and the floor is very clean and comfortable to walk on with bare feet, so feel free to leave your shoe by the door. As for the bed, it is very large and comfortable, providing you the high quality of sleeping without any problems. In the bathroom, it is not only very elegant and clean, but also provides unlimited hot water with satisfying water pressure from two types of shower heads. Moreover, there is a mini fridge placed in the lower closet near the wardrobe, feel free to drink the two bottles of spring water prepared by the host or store your own drinks or unfinished meals. In addition, there is a small safe above the fridge for depositing your valuables.
In terms of the amenities on the ground floor, there is a high-end restaurant serving traditional English breakfast (e.g. egg benedict) in the morning, and the taste is fine. However, I am not a big fan of their lunch or dinner when you can have better options in nearby restaurants. Furthermore, there is a small bar just outside the restaurant. The Gym, coffee room and reception are at the LG level, and you will receive a 10% discount in the coffee room after check-in.
The location is very close to the city center, train station and several main attractions such as the cathedral and castle.
Overall, I enjoy my two-day stay very much, the price of the hotel is very cost-effective in terms of the four-star standards, providing an unforgettable experience for both tourists and business travelers.
GGuest UserThe hotel was exceptionally clean and the staff were very helpful. Breakfast was good and we were able to take our dog for a small additional fee. We will return.
MMarvinAt 4 PM, during peak check-in time, I wasn't allowed priority for luggage retrieval. I was told to queue with everyone checking in, and the staff's attitude was extremely arrogant, making me feel discriminated against! My Uber was five minutes away, and I had a 4:40 PM train to London; waiting in line for luggage would definitely make me miss it! I waited for the front desk to finish with their current guest and then tried to explain my situation. However, the front desk disregarded the circumstances and insisted I queue up. I don't know if this lack of understanding is part of British culture; if so, I apologize (I hadn't considered 4 PM as peak check-in). If not, the hotel should apologize to me! In the end, even the British people queuing for check-in couldn't stand it. After consulting with a few people behind them, they let me cut in line. Retrieving my luggage took only about 30 seconds. Thankfully, I made my train, phew.
GGuest UserRoom old and outdated - hotel needs refurbished in older areas - new spirts bar disappointing expensive and not that clean - nenus dirty with fingerprints and sticky - considering brand new they beed higher standards tho mains in Fusion were good but prawn crackers at £5.95 were awful
TthewalkingwandererWas a romantic get away, found that the drinks are expensive inside the hotel. we never ate at the hotel, as there is a couple of nice pubs close by. the staff were friendly, THe place is a bit of a maze but cool. they do run daily tours but its best if you book up in advance as when we tried to do day of the tour no availability. it is run via a 3rd party not the hotel itself.
GGuest UserWe really enjoyed our stay, the location is ideal and the grounds were beautiful and quiet! The staff were very friendly, welcoming and professional!
The only downside was that our room had only one plug socket that we could use.....just not enough these days, even just for basic needs..... very poor unfortuneatly. Air conditioning would have been welcomed, we would therefore definitely avoid this Hotel in summer months for this reason alone. One other small irritant, our bathroom had a glass shelf above the sink which tilited heavily towards the sink, so we had to be very careful to ensure things didn't keep falling over.
Our breakfasts were excellent (apart from the Omelettes), and the service staff were very welcoming....a great start to any day!
GGuest UserAbsolutely spotless and finished to a high standard. Decor is modern and appealing throughout. Staff are helpful. Lovely restaurant and fantastic coffee served there. The only slight issue I would say, is that you can hear guests in the next room very easily and this isn’t desirable for obvious reasons. We sadly ended up with very noisy guests in the room next to us the first night we stayed and this caused considerable disruption to our sleep pretty much all night. Saying this, we didn’t notify the staff though (so they may have been able to help) as there was no phone in the room. The next night was fine and completely silent so this would be dependent on who you have staying near you.
