The cottage was in a lovely location a few steps from the beautiful river path and a short walk up the hill to the high street of Barnard Castle. Our children loved the playground next to the castle, the impressive Bowes Museum and Raby castle is well worth the short drive. The cottage is accurately described although it’s important to note there is no dishwasher or drawers to unpack suitcases into. The duvets on the beds were not particularly warm although it was the first cold snap of the season so perhaps the summer duvets had not yet been changed for winter ones.

Delighted with the cottage - so comfortable and relaxing plus a very generous welcome pack - amazing! Great position for walks with our pup Ted and easy to walk into town. The cottage was pristine and everything you could possibly need was provided. We had a short stay, but would definitely love to return. Thank you.

This place is better than described. Situated within walking distance of the centre of town, it is placed in a great position. It was a home from home. Internet was a bit slow so streaming music didn’t work, so bring plenty of playlists. Coffee machine is a Tassimo and pods are available at the near by Morrisons. Plenty of good restaurants and the Indian in the market place was brilliant. Also do try Valentines which is near Morrisons.

Loved the hamper such a useful thing to be welcomed with! The house is clean and tidy with plenty of towels. The door lock is a bit tricky to open but you do get the hang of it. Parking was a little bit tight in front of the house, glad I had a small car. Would stay again!

Beautiful little cottage within walking distance of the castle and town. Amazing welcome pack which was absolutely well received . Immaculately clean kitchen was well equiped with everything and more you would need. The bed was really comfortable and the shower was one if the best for power and really hot loved it. Really convenient for visiting other places of interest including Raby Castle and High force Had dog bowls etc so if you take your pooch they are also well catered for.

Had a great stay at Cummin’s and Goings. Lovely warm little house located in Startforth, in walking distance of town centre (across a bridge). Limited garden but green space across the road. Mainly used as a pad as out walking the Dales.

A clean, comfortable and cosy house in a quiet area near the Tees. Lovely hamper discovered on arrival, Prosecco in the fridge and plenty of towels, loo rolls, bedding for longer stays and kitchen essentials. Logs for the wood burning stove in good supply. Heating system/ thermostat easy to use if weather gets nippy. Nice comfy bed. Games, dog bowls/blankets, hoovers, brooms and even a sewing kit under the stairs - the owners have thought of everything! There’s also a small desk and chair for those who wish to work. A ten-fifteen minute walk into the town, with plenty of independent shops, cafes and pubs, there’s also a Morrisons there. Thank you.

Wonderful house in super location. Very well equipped & comfortable. Bonus to have a beautiful wee sun terrace at the rear which is a sun trap. Generous welcome hamper from host which was so much appreciated after a long journey.

Well Barnard castle is way better than expected! I thought it’d be for Oldes (which it has lots of) but plenty of pubs and outdoor walks etc. I’d especially recommend Bagul for curry and cocktails. Cottage and host are lovely, the care package is borderline excessive and lots of wood for the fire which is really nice to see. Had a great week.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It's well located, within walking distance of Barnard Castle town centre, but in a secluded spot which avoids you being exposed to the noise of the roads or traffic. Lots of nice walks nearby along the river and plenty to do in the surrounding area. The house itself is clean and nicely decorated, with comfortable beds and high quality bedding and towels. The kitchen has plenty of glasses, crockery, utensils and appliances - as well as a great welcome hamper with snacks and supplies. No complaints whatsoever.

A wonderful place - all the home comforts you need and so beautifully furnished and decorated. And a gorgeous little outside area at the back. Really cosy yet modern at the same time. And a very generous welcome food box. Convenient for the town - just a short walk up past the castle to the centre. Lots of places to eat and drink. Easily one of, if not THE, best AirBnBs I've ever stayed in.

Stunning Cottage. We arrived late and the Cottage was lovely and warm. It is decorated to a very high standard and all appliances are top spec. All the bedding and towels are top quality and the Cottage was spotless. Love the pictures around the Cottage. The basket of goodies on arrival were amazing and also the items in the fridge. This all makes a big difference. I have stayed in alot of Air Bnb and this Cottage is by far the best one. A short walk into town. We also cycled to Middleton in Teesdale, you can pick up the Tees Trail and cycle the old rail track, 20mile round trip. We didn't want to leave and will definitely be back. This Cottage is a must.

We had a relaxing time at the cottage. We chose this property because of the location just across the bridge from Barnard Castle and because pets are allowed on the ground floor of the property. Access was by a key safe for which we had already been sent the code. There was a comprehensive book of instructions about the cottage which was helpful. The cottage was very clean and welcoming due in part to the comprehensive included grocery pack. The cottage kitchen is very well equipped with cooker, hob, microwave, 50% fridge/freezer, crockery, pans etc. The two bedrooms included 1 with double bed and 1 at the back with twin beds. There is a large screen smart TV which included Netflix and other apps and I was able to use my own Firestick TV. The 4G internet wasn't working when we arrived, however the owner responded immediately by SMS text with advice how to restart, which restored the service. It subsequently worked at speeds between 3MBps to 22MBps. The parking is just in front of the cottage. Although it seemed a little tight for me, as I am currently driving a 5m long T5 campervan, I was able to leave sufficient room for others to pass and none of the neighbours complained. There are lots of excellent dog walks within walking distance. Your dog's quick morning and evening exercise needs to be done away from the property by crossing the road. This is busy at peak times, so keep your wits about you. This cottage was a good place to stay which I recommend.

barnyard castle is a delightful town and we enjoyed being so close. the bed is good, wood burning stove, too. welcome package thoughtful. one must cross a busy thoroughfare to access a place for the dogs to do their business, often stressful in the early morning. kitchen well outfitted. we were easily able to self-cater. place looks more spacious than on the pictures. communication with an agency is less personal than with the other 3 airbnb locations we had on this trip. all that said, we enjoyed our time there.
