Flat Above 27, Bishop Auckland

County Durham. Sleeps up to 4

Flat Above 27 is a well-presented apartment that sits above the owner’s café in the heart of Bishop Auckland. Set over the first floor, this inviting retreat makes a great base for families looking to be positioned in the centre of this bustling town. After finding roadside parking, access the apartment down an alley and climb to the first floor. Get comfortable in the lounge, relaxing on the sofa and tuning into your favourite shows from the Smart TV. Move over to the kitchen, appointed with all the essentials for a short stay, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and washing machine. Pour yourself a bottle of wine and toast to a long-awaited break, before settling at the dining table for a home-cooked dish. Alternatively, explore your local surroundings, where you will find a superb selection of eateries, including The Merry Monk, The Stanley Jefferson, Manzo Steakeria and the welcoming gastropub of The Pollards Inn. Once returning from a tasty meal, wash away the day in the bathroom before retiring to either of the bedrooms to catch rest. For a truly memorable experience, you could book a night at the award-winning Kynre, where you can sit back as you travel through two thousand years of England’s history with a young Arthur, featuring live battle reenactments and fireworks; it is not to be missed! Further afield is the city of Durham, home to a remarkable cathedral, its own gothic castle, the Durham Museum and Heritage Centre, and the picturesque Wharton Park. Flat Above 27 is a wonderful escape, whatever time of year.
