This expired on 5th September 2024

Living North is delighted to have teamed up with The Auckland Project to offer one lucky reader a two-night stay in one of their fabulous new self-catering properties, Lightfoot Cottage, worth up to £600

Lightfoot Cottage is just a stone’s throw from The Auckland Project’s must-visit attractions in the heart of Bishop Auckland.

The lucky winner will enjoy a two-night stay in Lightfoot Cottage – a wonderful, warm, historic and dog-friendly property right beside the gates of Auckland Castle, which sleeps up to six guests. Each guest will receive an Unlimited Pass to The Auckland Project’s attractions (worth up to £30 per person), 10 percent discount in The Auckland Project’s restaurants, after-hours access to the Walled Garden until 10pm, and there’s free and private off-street parking too.

This pretty three-bedroom cottage extends either side of the original palace walls, with the dining room overlooking the ancient cobbles of Market Place, and the sitting room looking out to the palace grounds and the recently-opened Faith Museum. Bedroom two faces the historic cobbled Broadwalk. Recently refurbished, the unique property boasts rich colours throughout and a blend of antique and modern furnishings.

As well as Auckland Castle, the neighbouring Faith Museum and the Deer Park, with an Unlimited Pass, guests can enter the recently-redesigned Walled Garden, Faith Garden, Broadwalk, Wilderness Garden and new Victorian-inspired glasshouse for free. All that plus the Mining Art Gallery, Auckland Tower and the Spanish Gallery (the UK’s first gallery dedicated to the art and culture of the Spanish Golden Age). Put simply, there’s plenty on your doorstep to keep you entertained throughout your stay. We recommend dinner at El Castillo, The Auckland Project’s tapas restaurant at the heart of the Market Place. Or you may choose to dine at The Oak Room Restaurant at Park Head Hotel, or the respectfully refurbished Tudor kitchen at the heart of Auckland Castle.
