Visit Bishop Auckland

Park Head Hotel
We had a lovely 2 day break at the Park Head Hotel. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. Breakfast and dinner were delicious and top quality. Our dog, Tilly was well looked after too. Barnard castle and the surrounding area are beautiful with some great walks along the river.

Station Suites
Was easy to find and a convenient location to access the centre of Middlesbrough, including the football stadium if you are there for a game. Room was good value for money - only comment is it had a small kitchen area but no wardrobe to hang up clothes..,not the biggest issue as it was only an overnight ...

Roomzzz Newcastle
Great location, nice and quiet, helpful staff and spotlessly clean room. The corridor could have been a little better cleaned, but I would 100% book again.
