Self-Catering Residences
A visit to The Auckland Project should not be rushed. Now you can relax in one of our individually-designed self-catering residences in the heart of the conservation area.
Take more time to journey through a thousand years of history. Breathe in the morning views from Auckland Tower. Dwell upon the beauty in the Spanish Gallery. Ponder truths in the Faith Museum. Go deeper into the darkness of the Mining Art Gallery…
Whether you are looking for a cosy cottage or a contemporary apartment we can help you plan your perfect stay. Above all, feel at home in one of our heritage houses on the Auckland Castle Estate and imbibe the unique atmosphere at the heart of Bishop Auckland.
