It was a lovely place to stay room was excellent. Breakfast was one of the better ones I have had whilst staying away from home. I only have a couple of negatives, and they are. There was a dog that barked either in the adjacent room or owners quarters, barked several times, and woke me . Also, although the bed was comfortable. It creaked loudly when getting in and out of bed. Possibly, the bolts needed retightening. But for a one night stay, it was reasonably good.

Good base, immediately the Auckland Experience in the Town was excellent. We drove up to Beamish which is a wonderful live museum, great day, gives you a perspective of life as a miner from the 1800's onwards. Finally for a 2 night break, we visited Raby Castle on the way home, and the gardens and castle were wonderful. Will definitely come back the area again.

Auckland Project amazing, annual ticket includes access to the Palace, Faith Museum, Spanish Gallery (only one outside of London, based on Bishop Trevor's humanitarian support for Jewish families and paintings of Jacob's father and brothers.) My dull description doesn't do it justice..
Ticket also covers the powerful and emotional paintings in the Mining Art Museum, mostly local men portraying working in the towns and villages on in the mines on the North Eastern Coal Seam.
You can go back and see bits you have missed or new exhibitions throughout the year. Supported by a dedicated and informative staff team who feel passionate about Bishop Auckland and the Project.
Spanish Tapas restaurant-delicious food! Moss and Ivy-cute gifts and good food. Other cafes dotted about, didn't have time to try out McIntyre's, which looked charming.
Visited Boyes haberdashery, Marvellous Toys is a must. The Town hall has a gallery, nice café, helpful Library, also theatre/film. Michelangelo is on 20th May!
Rejuvenation of Bishop Auckland appears to be helped by Durham County Council and their own great spirit. The town suffered during Covid lock down, most of the specialist shops closed in Bondgate and could see there was a marked vandalism of old properties on the high street. I hope to see a continual recovery for their future. The people living there were kind, helpful and friendly, determined and tolerant, patient of our queries. I hope the younger generation are supported more, they seemed to be at a bit of a loose end, but it was Easter.

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.

See reviews by guests who stayed at hotels in Bishop Auckland
This little hotel is quant and beautiful - as it was 21 years ago when we had our wedding reception here. The only difference is that now the rooms are no longer a bit moth eaten and dusty around the edges but instead really gorgeous. The renovations are contemporary but very much in keeping with the original features. The stairs are still as squiffy as you’d expect from a building of this age, and it hasn’t lost any of the lovely character.
Sean (the host)
was very welcoming. The information to find the house (even during the night time) were very clear, the presentation of the house, and activities to do in Bishop Auckland. The Breakfast was well with a great variety of foods and drinks. An attention is brought for guests with specific diets (e.g. without diet).The house is clean, well-equiped and quiet. The quality/price is excellent.
Room well appointed, spacious and comfortable. Staff went out of their way to be helpful, particularly when dinner the first night was somewhat disrupted by a local party/disco. Excellent breakfast. Good to visit the Saxon Church just in front of the hotel.
The shower was hot and had great water pressure, so many hotels fail to provide a decent shower but this hotel had one of the best. Lady at Reception was super nice
