Hotels near Shildon Station, Shildon

"Very supportive of this hotel and its background and local purpose. V v clean and in smart condition. V comfortable bed and good shower. Everything you want at a good price. Breakfast was pleasant. Overall a really good find and wouldn’t hesitate to come again or recommend. "

"The hotel is quite dated which adds a lot of character to the property. The general areas are relatively clean but the room we were booked in has seen better days. There were some cobwebs near the windows and the floor was a bit dusty. We arrived almost midnight and quite tired so didn’t really do a complete check of the room. We did notice that one of the tv remotes were missing so I let the nightporter know. In the morning, breakfast was standard spread. All the hotel and restaurant staff we come across with at this property were really good and seemed to enjoy their work and makes for a very pleasant stay indeed."

"A great retreat for a couple to leave the stress behind."

"Although some of the decor maybe a little dated, this hotel is is excellent, large rooms, free parking, pub lunch next door at excellent prices. The staff are really nice and helpful."

"We booked a 2 night stay in one of the family rooms. For what the hotel offered it was exceptionally good value. We barely found any other hotels around with decent rooms for the same price, nevermind one with a swimming room and gym! The family room was great, although we did switch it to begin with. The rooms are in 2 sections and our first room had one of the kids beds in with the double bed, meaning if we'd stayed there with our 2 year old we wouldn't have been able to watch TV, make a brew or even talk! Probably not an issue with older kids who stay up later, but just something to be mindful of when booking with younger kids. That being said they staff switched out room with no hesitation and we did get one that had both kids beds together and the double separate. We arrived with bikes and the staff kindly allowed us to store them inside a locked room in the hotel which saved us the worry of leaving them on the car roof for the whole visit. Another nice touch. Breakfast was great, porridge, fruit, cereals, croissants, yogurts and a full cooked option too. Enough there to fill our kids up and save a few quid on lunch! Swimming was an added bonus, but just be mindful that kids can only swim 8am-10am (which is right through the breakfast time) or 2pm-6pm. This did take some careful planning on when to go without it interfering with the rest of our plans. However, we did manage to go twice in the 2 days. The later check out of 11am as standard was very helpful as well!"

"This is quite a historic building with links to Henry 8th and the family of Anthony Eden. It’s on the outskirts of Bishop Aukland but a cheap taxi ride into the centre and decent bus routes. The staff are super friendly and the spa linked to the hotel is very good. I sincerely found the place relaxing. If you are visiting the excellent new galleries of Bishop Aukland (especially its Spanish Art Gallery) stay here. "

"Lovely and peaceful"

"We needed a stopover and this was a really good find. The rooms are big, it’s clean and has everything you need. We found it a quiet and convenient place to stay. We could park right at the door as described. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms warm during winter. Emma (host) was super responsive to all my questions. My one caution is the entry - the stairs are incredibly short (less than an adult foot wide) so not easy to navigate. If we need to stay in BA again, we would definitely be back."

"Excellent overnight stay, family friendly and easy to find. excellent breakfast, lots of choice for all. Good value for money."
