Independent, Saint Johns Chapel, Bishop Auckland

"Lad on reception stayed on until 9:45 when I eventually trapped in from hiking. Above and beyond IMO 👌"

"Wonderful Manor House with great history being carefully restored."

"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. "

"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."
