Hotels nahe North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (Bishop Auckland)

„Great pool, lovely staff and grounds “

„Overall everything was good, our only issue was after being there for a few days we noticed the toaster was full of crumbs, obviously not been emptied for quite some time, and the oven tray had not been cleaned after it had been used. We hadn’t met the owner, so decided it was easier just to clean them both before using them. On the hole, everything else was excellent. There was no recycling facilities, which was quite a surprise, and also a slight disappointment. Everything else was above ...

„We were welcomed by Julie the owner on arrival, who explained how things worked in the cottage and passed on a lot of local information. We have stayed in a lot of properties and this is one of the best. Comfortable, well equipped, immaculately clean and a most generous welcome pack.. We are looking forward to our next stay.“

„Lovely host, immaculately kept rooms tastefully decorated and comfortable. Delicious well presented breakfast again with a homely style service. If I could give more than 5 stars for everything I would. Note: We've stayed in hundreds of hotesl/B&B's over the years and this is at the top of te league for service, value for money and quality.“

„A lovely, well equipped cottage, ideal for 1-2 people, nicely tucked away in a village that has so much going on. Clean, comfortable and a lovely welcome basket from the owners. The small kitchen area has everything you need, the decor is lovely and the lighting is great. The woodburner is left ready to light, though I didn’t need it. There is lots of local information left by the owners, who are very friendly and welcoming.“

„Stayed for one night. Room was large, comfortable and very clean. In fitting with the quirky pub, very oldy worldly.“

„Great crac at the bar. Food was great. Shower superb. A hidden gem this place “

„A lovely community pub with a very good restaurant. The Landlords were terrific, very friendly and accommodating and we had a great stay.“

„A must stop if I am in the area again, it was perfect “

„This was a one night stay on our way to Edinburgh with our dogs. It was exactly what we needed a comfortable, clean and well equipped room right next to a lovely pub that is also dog friendly. Sonia and the team couldn't do enough for us, fetching water for our dogs after a long journey. Asking if we had everything we needed. We had a good meal that night and a lovely breakfast the following morning. Such a friendly place, we will definitely be back!“

„We went for a family stay and it did not disappoint! Warm cosy and we were welcomed with fresh bread and treats left for us. Karen came down to check everything was ok. They also cleared snow from the awning over the hot tub! Great hosts this is are 2nd visit as a family “
