The Saxon Inn - Bishop Auckland

Absolutely fantastic place. Immaculately clean. Rooms fantastic and comfy and excellent staff. Best breakfast we have ever had in a hotel. Room rates are fantastic aswell. Deffo go again

Brilliant place to stay, nice clean bed and very comfy, upgrade on facilities compared to chains such as holiday inn premier inn Food is good restaurant quality and prices are cheap. Good selection of drinks at affordable price. Decor modern and welcoming a must visit if your wanting to stay in the area. We’ve stayed on a few occasions and always love coming back 5* for the price.

We had our wedding evening 'do ' here on 19th June. Absolutely fabulous night was had by all. Fantastic service from Paul his staff. A very special mention for Hannah Margaret who worked their socks off for us our guests. Also a special mention for the kitchen staff....the buffet was absolutely delicious. We some of our guests also stayed in the hotel overnight. The rooms are beautiful spotlessly clean comfortable. Breakfast was lovely served once again by the amazing Hannah Margaret. Absolutely fantastic service from everyone! Would definitely recommend xx

I recently spent a weekend at this hotel, and it was absolutely fantastic! The staff were wonderful, especially Margaret, who took great care of all our needs. The food was delicious and plentiful, and the rooms were not only very clean but also well-equipped with all the necessary amenities, plus some extra touches. A fantastic bonus is that just across the road is the oldest Saxon Church, dating back to 675 AD. You can collect a key from number 48 and explore the inside. Overall, it was a great weekend at a fabulous hotel. I give it five stars and will definitely return!

Since my last visit, the restaurant has undergone a complete transformation. It's no longer dull and dark; instead, it features bright decorations. I stopped by for a Sunday roast, which was well-prepared and generous in portion. The service was quick, and the staff were very attentive. I would definitely recommend this place and would happily return. I've heard great things about it, which inspired my return visit. Escomb is somewhat out of the way, so it’s not a location you would typically pass on your way to somewhere else.
