"Parking Scam"
A normal nice typical Premier Hotel. However, after a few days returning home I received a 'fine' from the parking company stating that I owed them £100, reduced if I pay within 30 days. They stated that I hadn't entered my registration into the screen which was at the side of the desk. I had, and I have a witness to that effect. The letter stated that if I sent them details of my stay then it would be sorted. Well, I did and I've heard nothing back. This is obviously a scam and if they want to take me to court I will look forward to it.

"Wonderful experience"
I had cause to stay at this Premier Inn for approximately 18 months. Throughout my stay, I became aware of the many challenges all the staff face, both positive and negative whether caused by hotel error or outside factors that the staff had no control over. They were all incredibly professional under both challenging and light hearted situations, showing compassion, concern, humour and kindness where required. In particular, I would like to specifically thank Melodie for all the laughs and banter on reception, Eleanor for the late night chats, James and the rest of the team for becoming good friends that feel like family. During my 18 month stay, I never once felt any need to make any complaint about anything. I would have no hesitation in staying there again and no hesitation in recommending this Premier Inn. Thank you

"The upgrade room was worth the extra cost."
The upgrade room was worth the extra cost, overall our stay was very good and we would choose Premier Inn in future for short stays.

"Wonderful hotel & staff"
We stayed at the premier inn bishop Auckland after a very long and stressful journey from Plymouth Devon which took over 8 hours in total!
The greeting we had from Melodie on reception was the warmest and most enjoyable that we have ever had she lifted all the stress from us as she was so bubbly and funny , the hotel was nice and value for money.
I would definitely stay there again and hopefully meet the lovely amazing Melodie again 😍

Hotel description
Enjoy a laid-back stopover at our Premier Inn Bishop Auckland hotel. Set just a short drive away from the city centres of Durham and Darlington, it's a great base for stays in the north east. Explore the sites around this small market town - from art exhibitions to live music, there's always something going on at the Bishop Auckland Town Hall, plus Auckland Castle is a must see for history-lovers. Alternatively, why not head over to Bishop Auckland Retail Park for a bit of shopping, or tour Locomotion, the National Railway Museum at Shildon. However you choose to spend your day, our Brewers Fayre restaurant is a great place to start your evening.
