A charming English manor house close to the A1 road. WiFi is free in public areas and food is served all day.

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.

Breakfast bought separately at adjoining cafe was excellent very substantial
Didn't open until 9 am though. Enjoyed the privacy of the site

The Bishops Palace, the Spanish Gallery and the Miners Art Gallery are wonderful - visiting highly recommended for any art lover. A visit to Raby Castle perfectly completed our two day stay. Bishop Auckland is a sadly run down town but the Auckland Project, thanks to some exceptional philanthropy is a regeneration project that deserves and amply repays support.

Bishop Auckland is up and coming, very sad to see so many empty shops and building but council encouraging more businesses to open. The Stack being built, more work being done to save old buildings; heart warming.
People I met were lovely, interested and helpful.
Kynren run by over 1000 volunteers, marvellous.
EL Castillo for our anniversary meal-delicious!
Spanish Gallery-not enough time to get around, big thanks to helpful and informative staff.
The Vines for lunch, enjoyable food, owner running up and down stairs, lovely little shop on the ground floor.
The Bishops Palace: beautiful architecture and gardens, staff helpful, knowledgeable and passionate about topics. Thankyou D.
The Auckland Project; much praise for a community working together. The staff at the Tower were lovely, Thankyou M!
Marvellous Toys, Newgate-definitely worth a visit, Venom gets snapped up straight away! Bought a Stormtrooper helmet!
Pools Surplus Stores, Newgate (next door to above) yummy sweet treats (Kendal Mint Cake, Treacle Toffee, Butter Tablet) for your friends (or for you!)
Excellent Boyes-check out the habadashery.
Stan Laurel lived here with his family, started his profession at the Eden Theatre, lived at Princes Street, his memory celebrated at Stanley Jefferson (his true name), Wetherspoon pub in the Market Place.
A big thank you to the hosts of The Nook, without them our enjoyable time would not have happened the way it did. I hope resident teddy enjoyed us taking him out!

We visited the museums and galleries which make up the Auckland Project, they were all excellent. The local people were friendly and made us feel very welcome. We had a delicious lunch in the Fifteas Vintage Tearoom. We'd recommend Bishop Auckland for a different and very interesting day out.

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.

The hut is in a peaceful location, but close enough to Bishop Auckland to easily explore the art galleries, Roman fort and Bishop's Palace. Checking in was easy, and the hut was toasty warm on arrival. We loved the attention to detail in the renovation of the goods wagon, and the folder with photos of the process.
Clever use of a sofa bed, instead of a permanent bed, meant there was more room in the wagon during the day. Although there is a slight trade-off in comfort, it was worth it. We would happily stay here again.
Good location for visit to Kyren show in Bishop Auckland. Accommodation was spacious and everything we needed was supplied. Breakfast cereal was provided as was fresh milk in the fridge and bread in the freezer. We ate out whilst there but there was ample kitchen equipment should you wish to cook. Off street parking was also provided within a lockable back yard area.
The staff were professional and friendly. All the rooms are decorated beautifully. The hotel has a warm atmosphere to it even though it's an old building. Fantastic facilities and outdoor seating.
