Top Auckland Castle Hotel Reviews

Superking beds, spacious and comfortable ground floor apartment near town centre

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely spacious apartment with comfortable beds and in a great location. Emma was very responsive and everything about the check in/out process was easy. Everything you could need for a short stay."

Park Head Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"All the staff are very friendly and thats what makes this hotel the great place it is. The food is nice. I had a lovely pie there. The breakfast choice is good. The room is clean. The only negative is the bathroom needs updating. It was a bit shabby. This is the 2nd time ive stayed here and I would definitely stay again."

The Saxon Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This was a very old historical building in as good of a shape as it could be. Some uneven floors and a lot of steps to get to your room. It was small and quiet charming. The staff was pleasant and helpful. A bus stop was right out the side. Very pleasant. The bed was nice, no air conditioning, but it was fairly cool when we went in August, 2026. They had a fan. We are from Florida so the low 70's was a joy for us for August."

The Etherley Holiday Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"Really lovely house, perfectly positioned for a visit to Kynren! Would suit a group or family equally - we stayed 2 nights very comfortably and really enjoyed our experience. Would highly recommend :)"
