The rooms were spotless clean, paintwork clean, flooring, bedding all surfaces and bathroom immaculate. I had a single room but it had everything needed and really was like ‘home from home’. The chef Alison and the front of house/receptionist called Miranda they both took the time to chat with me, so warm and friendly (especially as a lone female traveller). Both of these ladies, housekeeping and the gentleman who dealt with my repeat booking for October (I have a wedding there) are a credit to this hotel (diligent and courteous). I had two breakfasts both were absolutely perfectly cooked: Eggs Royal and Scrambled egg with Smoked Salmon x

The staff were excellent: they were friendly and professional.

Self catering cottage, location is rural but easy to find and lovely views and parking at the property. Cottage was very warm, well appointed and comfortable.

Parts of Bishop Auckland are a little 'scruffy', quite a few empty shops in the town, although there are the usual supermarkets etc in the out-of-town shopping centres.
Auckland Castle and museums were very interesting. The guides in Auckland Castle were knowledgeable and very happy to show off everything there. The gardens will be stunning once they mature a little.

Bishop Auckland is undergoing great renovations.
Bishop Auckland is undergoing great renovations. Though the main street has some way to go, the Market Square and Bishops Palace area is really attractive. The Castle (Bishop's Palace), Mining Art Gallery and Spanish Gallery are full of interest, well worth the entry fee (book annual pass online for best value). The best thing was the friendliness of the people we met, both as knowledgeable guides in the attractions and welcoming locals in the pubs and restaurants.

Bishop Auckland is being regenerated.
Bishop Auckland is being regenerated. Around the market place is gorgeous. Auckland Castle is beautiful with a fabulous coffee shop. We went to the Kynren Festival. It was outstanding, like nothing we’ve seen before. Would highly recommend it.

B A is full of surprises.
B A is full of surprises. For the size of the town it has multiple sites of interest with the Bishop’s Palace/Castle steeped in history back to its origins with the Norman conquest nearly one thousand years ago, to a mining museum of local art from the recent past. The town is compact with easy parking, some nice eateries and still boasts easy access to the countryside walks within the Castle’s deer park. It also serves as an excellent base for exploring further afield. Durham, and it’s Cathedral, the Beamish museum, the Bowes museum at Barnard Castle, the nearby Raby Castle, a Roman Fort, Hadrians Wall, and the list goes on.

Location was very good - two minute walk to a massive supermarket and a ten minute walk to the castle and beautiful walks around the grounds. Twenty five minutes to Durham and very convenient for exploring the area. Nice to have all the kitchen essentials there, cleaning and basic salt and pepper and tea bags etc made it perfect for a short stay. Plenty of parking on the road outside the house. Easy and uncomplicated check in and great communication with the host. Would certainly recommend.
The area is so interesting. There are traces of its industrial past all around and it is a short drive to the Killhope lead mine or to Allenheads with its cafe, museums etc. Beckelshele is off the A689, at Lanehead, surrounded by open country with curlew, snipe etc. The owners live next door and couldn't be more helpful and friendly. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we have booked again in June - for a fortnight this time.
Big rooms, high ceilings. Immaculately clean. Lots of light. Thick carpets, great towels, good kitchen. Tea, milk and coffee provided along with breakfast cereal.
Everything we needed was there for us. It's in a quiet area off the main roads, but close to local shop and Morrison's supermarket. Market square about a ten minute walk.
We were staying there to break our journey north. It's close to the A1M, but not too close.
The property is in a great central location for bishop Auckland.
we where going the Kynren show and it was about a 20 min easy walk to it.
like the small touches of shampoo etc and the breakfast (bread,milk butter ,jams and small cereals ) is a lovely idea.
private parking is good.
generally clean but a bit dusty under the tv,nothing to spoil our stay tho
Country glamping is a home from home. 10/10 facilities, staff, location, everything. It's not glamping. it's a luxury pod with everything you need, whether you want to hibernate for a weekend or use it as a base to explore Durham, Bishop Auckland and surrounding areas. I have already booked again thats how perfect it is.
Locarion was very central. Bedrooms were cosy as described but there was plenty of room. Large lounge and bathroom and the kitchen was more than adequate for our needs. Was impressed by the cleanliness. The hosts provided accurate and useful information. Would definately go back if we are in the area again.
Ideal location for visiting the museums in Bishop Auckland though their prices are expensive compared to the other towns.!! It's not too far to travel to Spennymoor, Barnard Castle, Bowes Museum or Binchester Roman Fort. Some wonderful countryside. Handy having Morrisons supermarket a 5 minute walk away.
Absolutely gorgeous little place! The cottage was spotless and spacious. It's beautifully furnished and well equipped. The kitchen has everything you need and more. Very comfy bed, good shower and wifi. Free parking. The gift pack was a treat. Close enough to Bishop Auckland and Barnard Castle.
Beautifully decorated and really comfortable setting. The staff were delightful and very helpful. Check in and out was very simple and I was made to feel welcome instantly and for my entire stay. This trip was solo for business. I will be returning with my partner in the near future.
A wonderful hotel that is really haunted.
Absolutely great staff, particularly the receptionist and also manager was really friendly. He has only been there y weeks.
A lovely room and a tasty breakfast.
A fantastic hotel, well worth a visit. It is so so old, with so much history.
This hotel is full of history and in a quiet location but easy to find. The Hotel was going through renovations during our stay which was a promising sign as parts of the building are due an upgrade. It’s also located in a great area to reach many tourists attractions.
Very nicely refurbished flat and gave us a base to visit the area. The Auckland project is excellent and Locomotion at Shildon very good. Easy to get there by train and easy to walk around. Very thoughtful owners had left snacks and lots of useful things.
Staff were very pleasant and extremely helpful. The hotel is in a beautiful location and great for a peaceful stay. Breakfast was good - menu had a good selection, we wanted a more simple choice and they were happy to accomodate us.
This place is a gem. Food excellent, Staff friendly and helpful, All areas of the hotel and room spotlessly clean. If your in the area stay here, it is brilliant.
The apartment had everything we required for an overnight.
Appreciated the extras, milk, bread, toiletries.
