The Otter Hotel

Bishop Auckland, Durham, UK

Under new ownership from 1st January 2006, the Otter is a popular, friendly, professionally-run hotel.

John Murphy and partner David Oliver (formerly of Lumley Castle, Swallow Hotels and Ramside Hotels) are proud to announce the official opening of the newly refurbished Otter Hotel.

Previously named The Wheatside, the new look county style Otter Hotel is located in stunning surroundings, offering bistro style food as well as the traditional bar meals.

Originally a 19th Century farmhouse restored to a pleasant country hotel, with the reception fireplace still featuring the original brick-built bread oven.

Close to the town, but standing alone in the countryside, the hotel is ideally located for those who want the comfort of home, as well as the convenience of town. Located on the main (A68) road, the tourist route to Scotland, we are perfect for holidaymakers and yet are only 5-10 minutes from the commercial sites of Bishop Auckland, Newton Aycliffe, Shildon, Darlington, Barnard Castle and Teeside, making the Otter Hotel the perfect choice for the business traveller and tourist. Both are most welcome and can be sure of an excellent stay.

In this professionally run hotel, quality is assured and a relaxed atmosphere is created by the owners and their staff.
