Excellent accommodation - clean and spacious. Within easy walking distance of the town centre, deer park and castle. Directly opposite the venue where we were attending a family party. Lots to explore locally by car also.
Hassle free booking and stay, plus speedy response to messages.o

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.

Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts who were very welcoming and friendly. The hotel, our room and the ensuite bathroom were very clean and comfortable and the food in the hotel restaurant was excellent. The hotel has recently been improved and the accommodation is a very high standard and excellent value for money. We are vegetarians and had delicious meals on both nights of our two day stay. An excellent base for walking in this lovely area, a great place to stay. A hidden gem!
I think the staff were doing their best in the circumstances and with the resources available. We appreciate that this is a challenging time for hospitality. They responded to my complaint about the fold up bed after the first night and managed to make the second night a bit more tolerable for us.
Plenty of convenient parking. WiFi connection was good.
The hotel has an lovely old charm which has potential and the location was great for seeing the local attractions.
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 room was lovely although the bathroom was a bit awkward, with a tiny area around the basin. We had dinner there one night and the service was very slow , over an hour for pasta, although most people seemed to have already eaten when we ordered. Breakfast was good, freshly cooked and generous portions. Staff very friendly. A good location for visiting Bishop Auckland, and the little Saxon church is well worth a visit
Smelt clean . Felt Covid aware . Nicely kitted out comfy bed and parking . Lovely bathroom lots of hot water
The location of the flat is convenient. The back looks onto the car park of the shopping centre , but to be honest it’s fine and pretty quiet and good value . We liked the old buildings of Bishop Auckland , the plaza / square , the Park and deer park really interesting . Great Thai in Square
Exactly the same layout as my childhood home. Located brilliantly for access to the gallery I was going to, and a short walk into town. It would seem to me that after years of decline Bishop Auckland is on the up again, and will need more places like No7 Escomb Road to support visitors. I didn’t get to the Green Tree which is a great pub literally over the road. Next time.
The owner was welcoming from the start, nothing was too much trouble. Street parking right in front of the property was a godsend as most big hotels charge you for parking as well. We couldn’t fault it at all. Was excellent for what we needed. Returning customers, booked 3 more times since the first visit.
Excellent value for money.
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.
Warm,cosy and comfortable cottage.
Lovely welcome and shown around the surrounding area by Sue.
Private hot tub and garden space.
Beautiful breakfast
Continental with lots of choice,
Served with a lovely pot of coffee and fresh juice.
We were made to feel very welcome and enjoyed our stay.
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.
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.
Well presented very clean and warm. Location excellent with bus stop to Spennymoor, Durham, Newcastle situated approximately 200 yards from hotel. Service approx every 20-25 minutes.
Same for bus to Bishop Auckland
