Best Western Walworth Castle Hotel

We wanted a little luxery within our means not too far away from home so booked a four poster room 32 (neville) it was big clean and what we wanted. The bathroom was dated but was acceptable...until!!!! We placed a cheeky bottle of prosecco to chill in the sink to chill then popped down to check out the bar as with the room it inc dinner & breakfast. After a pint and looking after the menu popped back to the room to run a bath, with a glass of prosecco, so When the tap was pulled on the sink? The bath gluggled the most awful sewage smell of manky dirty water started filling up over, it was revolting it was like a scene from a comedy/horrer as i then started throwing up!. Thankfully we where helped moved to the next room within minutes. We recieved a drink free 1 gin 1 whiskey for the upheavel, tbh i thought was tight. Anyways the food is another level! 5 stars it really was quality! I may not be back to stay but i will be back for a night out or to try the carvery . The staff and check in where friendly and very welcoming. Its just a shame for what i experienced. less

Thought we would give Walworth another try as we have lovely memories there (due to our wedding day a few years ago) but our last meal we had there approximatley 2 years ago was very poor - hence we didn't rush back, but .........tonight it was AMAZING!!! The food was absolutley gorgeous, the presentation was as good, the staff were lovely and the bar/restaurant has been re-vamped and looks great! less

On our way back from a weekend away further up north, i thought we would call in just for a coffee. Over the years I have stayed here in most of the main rooms, From the King James suite and alot of the others when been here for work. It's nice to see and It is refreshing to see the updated styling of the building, but if you are proud in mentioning this is a 12th century house (not a castle) then turning it into a boutique is such a shame. Just as a reference from the following: "The present manor house stands on the site of a previous manor house or castle which was built around 1150 by the Hansard family. There is no evidence that the building was ever used for defence" It's a lovely house you have here and what you are doing or have done is taking away its history. Don't paint everything grey and chique it up with vintage style furniture, you have history here, don't hide it. I appreciate that for business it's what it's about but it's a bit more than a travel lodge. On seeing other reviews about management I can only say with a kind heart you need to get a like for like replacement for Mary and Surinder I think it was. Advice....keep the original wood, don't hide history and done change it. It's a lovely 12th century home not a castle. The pull up banner in the lounge needs to be changed to say different than that of a castle, even lumley castle was converted from a home and not for defense. The building that deserves the right to use this title is "Chillingham Castle" ...King Edward 1st stronghold, in northumbria. Walworth is lovely, but with history comes responsibility, please don't cross over into modernisation, you will loose what was. C x less

Just had a beautiful Sunday lunch in the restaurant at Walworth castle hotel. The food was really tasty, well presented, piping hot and really good portions. Both the lamb and beef was lovely tasting and cooked to perfection. The service and attention from all the staff was perfect, nothing too much trouble and all were very polite. Will definitely be visiting again. Well done Walworth 😊 less
