    Absolutely fantastic venue. Lovely location with large open areas, lots of parking and easily accessible. The staff were excellent, could not do enough for us. Rooms were clean and had character (if you are in the Castle itself) and the food was outstanding. Drinks are a little pricey, but no more than you would expect at such a location. Great location that allows you to travel to lots of nearby locations.

    In September 2023, we had our wedding at Walworth Castle Hotel. The venue was brilliant and the staff seemed to be always helping anyone that needed support. The deputy Manager, was amazing. He worked with us through the whole day and coordinated with all the venders that made the day easy to work with. The Honeymoon suites were quite large but the beds were not comfortable - it was the only downside as otherwise it was awesome and when taken up with Management, they advised they will look to replace/update the beds. The day itself couldn't have gone better. It was very hot outside, 29'c and the hotel chilled our water and put out ice buckets with our chilled water for guests to enjoy. Staff were quick at everything and I (as groom) was able to relax and enjoy the day whereas usually I want to control every aspect of an event. The food was wonderful, great portion sizes and really enjoyable. When we went for testers, we tried a few variant's and ended up mixing the menu selection into something we liked. This was taken note of any tasted wonderful. We had several friends with dietary requirements from intolerance to allergies and everyone was taken care of within the normal going out of food. They were not left to wait, they were served and were able to be a part of everything with everyone else. The outside area has areas for children/people to play, outside seating and a generally nice relaxed space. The staff were wonderful and it felt welcoming to everyone. Many guests have commented on how nice the wedding food was to us, which was great too. We had a wonderful time and do go back for the food on a weekend as their meals are really tasty and good value for money.

    Stayed here for our 25th Wedding Aniverssary. Considering this was built circa 1150 it has to be said its ambience reflects this in some parts as they remain original style. Having said that the castle has had improvements made to its rooms and public areas. As it is a class 1 listed building these have been made in keeping as to complement its style. Ashley made our stay perfect, a very friendly host who has her guests interest at heart. This continues to be surveyed through her support staff who were also very pleasant and friendly. The food we were served was pleasantly filling and the afternoon tea was a dream. Our stay was in January so it was very cold outside. Inside the temperature was low during the day but from late afternoon the heating increased and made all areas comfortably warm including the bedrooms. At the time of writing the premises is up for sale by the current owners.It is hoped that any new owner keeps it on as a hotel because it will be an injustice if this was to disappear from view. Needs a few refinements but this is a difficult process due to its grade 1 listing. Having said that it is somewhere we will definitely return in the future
