Comfortable hotel with delicious food

I enjoyed my quiet ground floor courtyard room, with it's cosy central heating and pops of orange to brighten the decor scheme. Lots of lighting options, a good size desk and a large wall mounted TV. Good pillows and duvet, although I found the mattress a bit too firm for a side sleeper. The bathroom was spacious, hot water appeared quickly and the shower was fab. The car park is well lit and the spaces wide enough to avoid doors getting banged. Restaurant and hotel staff all pleasant and helpful.

We had wanted to visit the Auckland project after a previous visit to Kynren. The hotel is set on a main road and the rooms are in a courtyard setting at the rear.Our room was on the first floor and was decorated to a high standard. Bathroom high spec and excellent shower. The road was busy during day and early evening but the windows drowned out noise so we had a quiet night. The room was much larger than most hotel rooms. We had dinner and breakfast in the hotel. The food was exceptional, hot and delicious. Breakfast was freshly cooked and served. Breakfast portions were actually too big. The staff were all local and so friendly. We visited Auckland project and then Beamish. It was an excellent location for access. On final day we visited Barnard Castle. We will definitely stay here again.

This hotel has been fully refurbished fairly recently and part of the Auckland Castle project. It’s open for non residents for breakfast, snacks through to Dinner too. Stayed here for a lunch and it was very easily priced and well presented meal. I would recommend it for sure just for lunch. Didn’t see the hotel rooms but the public areas are very well presented meal, modern, clean and tidy and the staff very pleasant too.

What a excellent Sunday lunch , if you want that special service with a smile , come and visit The Park Head , superb service , excellent timing , the food was outstanding, the beef was delicious, thin slices , cooked to perfection, Chicken liver pate to start delicious, Next time a small portion on a big plate , only because i hate wasting good food , we will be back , can’t wait

We booked the stay in connection with a birthday celebration at the hotel. The staff who organised and oversaw the event for our group were fantastic. Everything was perfect. The rooms are spacious, including the bathrooms. The refurbishment of the hotel has been well-thought out - showers with proper shower trays so no wet floors, sinks that are actually big enough to use, etc. Excellent breakfast. All of the staff were professional, friendly and helpful (unlike so many places in the northeast!). I think we all left with a very favourable impression of this place.
