Manor House Hotel, hotel in Bishop Auckland

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

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.

    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.

    The area is so interesting. There are traces of its industrial past all around and it is a short drive to the Killhope lead mine or to Allenheads with its cafe, museums etc. Beckelshele is off the A689, at Lanehead, surrounded by open country with curlew, snipe etc. The owners live next door and couldn't be more helpful and friendly. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we have booked again in June - for a fortnight this time.

    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.

    Visited Bishop Auckland for the Kynren Show (which was brilliant) and the apartment was in an excellent location to walk up to “Marketplace” to visit the Castle, Spanish Gallery etc and the town centre shops, pubs, restaurants and central bus station, a 20 minute walk. We appreciated the Welcome Pack of milk, bread, cereals, tea, coffee etc.

    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.
