Offering inner courtyard views, Rooms in historic Bishop Auckland is an accommodation set in Bishop Auckland, 30 km from Lumley Castle and 40 km from Beamish Museum. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are available at the guest house free of charge. The guest house features family rooms. As always, Sean is great! Super lovely, super clean, the house is well kept! Transportation options are plentiful~ this was my 3rd time staying with him, and I already booked the next~ It's home away from home with him, better than a luxury hotel in my opinion. The back yard is fantastic as well, and the people in the area are quite charming too

A family run business who make you feel warm and welcome from the time you book until you leave. The location is perfect as a base for exploring the local area. I feel I have to mention the very high standard of food. Its not the run of the mill bar food here. Its food fitting of a Manor house. I only wish we had stayed longer to try everything on the menu. All very reasonably priced as well. Real ale behind the bar and an open log fire. Large selection of drinks and food all day and the breakfast was spot on. Whether you are looking for a place to stay or after a meal with a proper local feel then you won't be let down if you give the Manor House a try. Well worth a visit.
