Win a luxury mini-moon in a castle hotel Historic Lumley Castle is a luxury four-star hotel, ideally located in beautiful parklands overlooking the River Wear and Durham County Cricket Ground and now you could win a luxury mini-moon for two there. Lumley Castle, set between the historic city of Durham and the vibrant city of Newcastle, is a magnificent monument to a bygone age of chivalry and honour, effortlessly combining old and new to create a truly memorable travel experience. The castle, which became a hotel in 1976, dates back to the 14th century when it was converted from a manor house by Sir Ralph Lumley; it’s still owned by Sir Ralph’s descendants, with the 13th Earl of Scarbrough involved in its day-to-day running. All the beautifully-appointed 71 en-suite bedrooms are individually-styled and uniquely decorated, perfect for romantic getaways and those who revel in a historic setting, and there are a select number of dog-friendly rooms too – please check availability when booking. Dining is a pleasure in the elegant setting of the Knights Restaurant, which offers classical dishes with an original twist and a focus on high-quality good food, all complemented by an extensive selection of fine wines. Lumley Castle is perfect for a relaxing stay and also ideally situated to explore the North-East of England’s many attractions from River Wear riverside walks and the Durham Heritage Coast to Hadrian’s Wall and the Angel of the North. Our winner and a partner will enjoy two nights’ spacious accommodation in the King James Suite, with a bottle of fizz in the room on arrival, full English breakfast each morning, afternoon tea for two on one day and a three-course dinner on one evening in the delightful Knights restaurant.
