A County Durham hotel has announced the date it will reopen after an "extensive, top-down" refurbishment.
The Park Head Hotel and Restaurant in Bishop Auckland was purchased by regeneration charity The Auckland Project in May 2021 and its reopening is now just months away. The interior of the hotel, which has 38 en-suite bedrooms and an 80-cover restaurant and bar, will be open to the public from February 1 2023, with bookings for overnight stays and enquiries for functions and events being taken already.
As well as the interior transformation, there is also a newly-landscaped outdoor space which both hotel guests and Bishop Auckland residents are being invited to enjoy by the management. The Oak Room Restaurant and Bar will offer food made with local produce including fruit and vegetables grown in the Walled Garden of nearby Auckland Castle.
