Set in a Grade 1 listed 16th-century building in West Auckland, Manor House Hotel offers 32 rooms including cosy doubles with original beams, superior rooms with feature bathrooms, and a honeymoon suite with a four-poster bed. The onsite restaurant serves a seasonal menu featuring Full English breakfasts, while the spa includes an indoor pool, sauna, and steam room. Two historically significant venues, Eden Room and Knights Hall, accommodate events for 6 to 120 guests. The hotel is 5 km from Bishop Auckland, 3 km from Eleven Arches, and 4 km from Escomb Saxon Church. Dogs are permitted in courtyard rooms and the brasserie for a £15 nightly fee.
Pros
The 12th-century building retains original features like beehive fireplaces and exposed beams.
Spa facilities include a pool, sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi with treatment packages available.
Dog-friendly courtyard rooms and brasserie dining accommodate pets.
Two event spaces (Eden Room and Knights Hall) host groups from 6 to 120 people.
Proximity to multiple landmarks including Auckland Castle (5 km) and Broom Mill Farm (3 km).
Cons
Children's pool access is limited to 8am-9am and 6pm-7pm daily.
Some rooms have quirky layouts with steps and sloped ceilings due to historic architecture.
“Sympathetically converted from a 17th-century manor, this historic building offers both character and modern comfort, including a spa and family-friendly amenities. The restaurant stands out for its stylish decor, garden views, and high-quality food, which extends to the included breakfast. For guests exploring the galleries of Bishop Auckland, the hotel provides a relaxing base steeped in history.”
