Our places in Bishop Auckland

There are 18 places to choose from, and most are built for groups. The average capacity is 6.7 guests, and the biggest sleeps 15. Some sit in the lower price range, such as one or two bedroom cabins for four people, while larger lodges with four bedrooms and a hot tub cost a good deal more per night. A few sit well above the rest, so check the number of bedrooms and the facilities before judging a price. Pets are accepted at most places, either as dog friendly or on request, so ask when you book if you are bringing a dog.

Bishop Auckland suits groups and families more than couples. The typical lodge here sleeps nearly seven, and the largest takes 15, so this is a place for shared weekends, birthdays and family breaks in County Durham. Small cabins for two to four people exist, but they are the minority.

Hot tubs are close to standard, with more than four in five places having one, and almost nine in ten accept pets in some form. Log burners are found in a bit over half. The usual nightly price is high because so many places are large, yet the cheapest nights found are far lower, so the range of budgets is wide. Guest ratings are high at 9.3 out of 10. Winter weeks cost noticeably less than weeks outside winter.

Features

Almost every place has a garden, and 15 of the 18 have a hot tub. Log burners come next, with 11 places. Fishing and a high chair are each offered at 8 places, which helps if you are travelling with young children or want a quiet day by the water. Swimming pools and BBQs are rarer, at 4 places each, and only one has a children's play area. Places with a log burner are usually cheaper than those with a hot tub, while BBQ places are cheaper again. Fishing places cost about the same as the hot tub ones.

By number of guests

Small lodges for 3 to 4 guests are by far the cheapest, usually about a third of the price of the larger sizes, and they work out cheapest per person too. Places for 5 to 6 guests cost noticeably more, with three bedrooms as the norm. If you have a group of seven or more, the larger lodges therefore spread the cost better. Couples will find fewer options and should compare carefully.

Prices month by month

Prices stay very steady from November to April. November is the cheapest month of the six, and April is the dearest, but the gap is small. December, January, February and March sit close together. Availability varies more than price. December has the fewest free dates, so book earlier if you want Christmas or New Year. January has the most open dates, followed by March and April. Winter weeks cost much less than weeks outside winter, so a week in this period is the better value.
