A lovely cottage, just around the corner from the centre of the town. Very well equipped, beautifully clean and very cosy. Two bathrooms was a bonus, as was the dishwasher! Thank you for a lovely stay!

A great place for our family break in Barnard Castle. Very convenient for the town and walks from the door. Parking was on the street but never a problem. We loved the wood burning stove in the lounge. Close to the Bowes museum and the waterfalls at Low and High Force.

We stayed here while attending a wedding at a nearby venue and couldn’t have asked for a better place. Check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free, which made everything so easy. The place was spotless and beautifully decorated—clearly a lot of thought has gone into making it feel homely. The hosts were very friendly and responsive when we raised an issue in the bathroom. The location in Barnard Castle was absolutely perfect. We’d happily recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

A lovely stay from start to finish. The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Great location, thoughtful touches, and a warm welcome made it feel like a home away from home. Would happily return.
