A Stay Fit for a Prince Bishop

True luxury isn’t just about modern amenities; it’s about exclusivity.

When searching for luxury cottages in North England, you will find plenty of barn conversions. But few places allow you to stay within the walls of a 900-year-old palace.

At Auckland Palace Stays, we offer a unique blend of contemporary comfort and historic grandeur. From the original stone arches of the 17th century to the rolling views of the Deer Park, this is self-catering with a royal difference.

Exclusive Guest Privileges

Staying with us opens doors that are closed to the general public.

Private Garden Evenings: As a cottage guest, you hold the key to the spectacular Walled Garden after the gates close to the public. Enjoy a sunset glass of wine among the roses in total privacy.
The Bishop’s Key: Every heritage booking includes our exclusive pass, granting you free access to The Spanish Gallery, The Faith Museum, and Auckland Palace itself.
