Independent, Lanehead, Bishop Auckland

"The hotel and all of the staff were amazing Rooms very comfortable and clean. Staff are really friendly and helpful Would definitely stay again The bar and restaurant areas are really homely and comfortable and the food is outstanding"

"A lovely traditional building, beautifully decorated and good sized rooms. It's cuisine, not average grub. Challenges me to try something different. Friendly, helpful staff. An affordable treat. Fabulous location close to the Abbey with disc parking across the road and a large free car park 5 minutes walk away by the Wentworth Centre. Second visit. If they start to accept well behaved dogs I'll be back again. "

"Friendly welcome and service "

"Definitely worth a visit. We only stayed for one night but we will be back. Staff all unbelievably good. Food exceptional. Very quiet. Really good nights sleep. Highly recommend this hotel. We also did the free history tour of the castle. Do not miss this as it includes a visit to the roof to take in the views."

"Excellent hotel! Good rooms, comfortable bed, friendly staff, nice breakfast and dinner"

"Breakfast was delicious. "

"As a hiker on the Hadrians Wall trail, this venue had everything; good food, good beer and a good drying room. After a wet walk this was most welcome. This place was very convenient on the Wall trail and would highly recommend. "

"Excellent hotel with super rooms, great bar and good food. We will stay there again."
