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
Would definitely recommend and use again.

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.

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.

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.
Badly signposted, the woman on Receptionist was incredibly rude. The room I booked didn't have a bath as I had requested, the second room which I was moved to did have a bath but it didn't work, the 3rd room which I stayed in was freezing cold and the bed covers were thin. The service in the restaurant for breakfast was the worst I have ever experienced. The breakfast looked like something you would get in an NHS Hospital. Worst hotel I have ever stayed in
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
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.
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.
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.
The apartment had everything we required for an overnight.
Appreciated the extras, milk, bread, toiletries.
Handy spot for finding our way around the town.
