Wheatside Hotel West Auckland Bildershaw Bank, West Auckland

Spend a long weekend or a few relaxing days here at the Wheatside just outside Bishop Auckland. Our 19th century farmhouse is the setting for our country hotel where you will find a comfortable and charming atmosphere. Totally relax and be greeted by our courteous and caring staff as you step in to our reception and enjoy the authenticity of the fireplace and original brick-built bread oven.

We are on the main road - A68 giving you quick and easy access in to Bishop Auckland and up to Gateshead and Newcastle for sight seeing and shopping. Very close to Newton Aycliffe, Darlington, Shildon and Teeside. Whether you are here for business or for pleasure you will find a convivial and harmonious ambiance.

Having undergone a full refurbishment you will find all modern day amenities in well appointed and tastefully decorated ensuite rooms - large comfortable beds, clean fresh linen and private facilities for your total ease and comfort. After a good night's sleep take breakfast in our dining room and set yourself up for the day ahead.

Make the most of the nearby attractions as you perhaps visit the Locomotion - the newly opened national railway museum at Shildon and generally enjoy the surrounding countryside - superb walking, views, photographic opportunities and perfect for that peaceful drive with your loved ones.
