Great staff. Lovely location. Full of character. Travelled with my dog. Extremely dog friendly: actually the most dog-friendly hotel I've stayed in. Pet can stay with you if you eat in the brasserie. Usually you get a "doggy" room. Which I find uncomfortable as I'm allergic to most dogs (I have a low allergy breed). But this room was clean and airy: didn't l use spa - only there for a one night stop over. But would definitely return.

Good range of food on dinner menu. Quality of food very good, one of the best rump steaks I’ve had in a while.

The great thing about Bushop Auckland is the Auckland project, with the Bishop' Palace, the faith museum, the Spanish Gallery and the Miner's gallery. If you are interested in history and art there is so much to see.

“Nr 1 Cockton Hill Rd” It wasn’t.
“Nr 1 Cockton Hill Rd” It wasn’t. It was flat 1, 36 Cockton Hill Rd.
It was clean, apparently newly upgraded property, but…
No light bulb in entrance hall
No cutlery or crockery apart from 2 mugs in the kitchen
The kettle was stuffed with kitchen roll
The double bed was side to wall –not as per website. No sheets, or pillows. The landlord appeared to not know the difference between pillows and cushions, and did not accept that the bedclothes as seen were not up to standard.

Market place area is lovely- The Auckland project is doing wonders for the town. Castle and gardens are outstanding - very knowledgeable young people helping out with the archaeological dig and providing information for visitors.
The Kynren Festival is amazing - yet so few people have heard of it. It's an outdoor spectacular acting out Britain's history and using 1000 local volunteers as actors ... not to mention the horses, sheep and geese! Fabulous special effects including fireworks and choreographed fountains. An absolute must see in a lifetime! Plaudits to local philanthropist Jonathan Ruffer whois responsible for both this and the Castle!

The Auckland project venues ( Auckland castle and walled garden, deer park, Mining museum, Faith museum, Spanish gallery all worth visiting. Conveniently near each other. Walking distance. Plenty car parking. Poor shopping outlets. Limited choice of restaurants, not always open. Several takeaways. Wetherspoins very popular.

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.

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
Our stay at Park Head was outstanding. Super clean, staff couldn't be more accomodating and helpful. Staff were friendly and both the hotel and the rooms were great. Plenty of choice for breakfasts and the food was reasonably priced and very tasty.
