If only the time-worn walls of Auckland Castle could talk! But seeing they can't, check if tours are available to hear some of its stories instead.

This fortified complex is situated in Bishop Auckland, a destination that has so much going for it! National Railway Museum at Shildon, Whitworth Hall Country Park, and Brancepeth Castle Golf Club are other worthwhile sightseeing opportunities not far away when you've finished up at Auckland Castle.

The room was excellent, bed was so comfortable that we slept in on our 1st night, leaving only 1 and a half hours to get ready for a wedding we were going to. The bathroom was lovely, a large shower with rainfall head. Very deep bath that we used on 2nd day. A great menu and restaurants to choose from. The bar was so welcoming with a great whiskey selection for myself and cocktail selection my partner loved. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Our stay Matfen Hall was excellent and I highly recommend. We didn’t use the spa facilities this time but definitely will on our return. Thank you to all the staff who made our stay a pleasure
