Love the Manor House!
The Manor House in West Auckland is always fantastic to photograph a Wedding at. The staff are organised, attentive and a pleasure to work alongside. The venue itself lends itself perfectly to Weddings, with just the right mix of classic and modern that couples love these days. Can't wait to work there again!

Spa Day
We had a spa day. Helpful and friendly staff who gave us a warm welcome. Clean and relaxing facilities. Amazing afternoon tea, we had to ask for a doggy bag! The ladies gave great massages and were friendly and helpful. Would go again when in the area.

Doggy Stay
I would just like to say, Thank you for making me and Brody feel so special. Nothing was a problem, in fact above and beyond to make someone with a dog feel so welcome. The rooms were immaculate, this is a hidden treasure within the local surroundings. Amazing x

Hen Party
I stayed here last night for my Hen Party and the spa and hotel are absolutely amazing. The treatments I had were fantastic and very relaxing. The staff were so friendly and go out of their way to help. I was upgraded to a superior room and the room was the most beautiful room. I can not recommend this hotel and spa enough. The food was delicious. Aiden went out of his way to make sure this experience was the best it could be, what a fantastic person he is, it really makes all the difference. Stuart also added to this amazing experience, such friendly amazing staff. I will most definitely be returning with my (soon to be) husband. Thank you to you all Marie

Frequently Asked Questions

Describe the best wedding that happened at The Manor House Hotel, County Durham?

We have so many fantastic weddings here it would be difficult to pick just one. Some of our most memorable weddings have been a Harry Potter wedding in the splendour of our Knights Hall, set as the Great Hall, a Vintage Tea Party in a tipi in our beautiful grounds with vintage china and hand-made bunting and a Victorian Gothic wedding with the Bride arriving in a hearse. Everyone's dream wedding is unique and we work with each couple to make that dream a reality.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Pintrest is brilliant for finding new ideas and sharing with friends and family.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

One of my favourites has to be the memorial frames that some Brides have attached to their bouquet, so a loved one who is not able to be here in person is still able to be with the Bride as she walks down the aisle.
