About this property

This characterful stone cottage is tucked away into the village of Barnard Castle, not far from the unspoilt countryside of Teesdale in County Durham, and close to the town's high street. Quirky and inspiring, The Little Flat is a unique place to visit, designed to offer couples comfort and relaxation from morning through to evening. Situated on the first floor via internal steps, arrive at the super king-size bedroom, a stylish set up overlooked by an A-frame beam, with the addition of a TV to compliment the formation. There are some lovely finishing touches to the room, including matching cushions, a wardrobe and windows with a glimpse of fine detail. The shower room is wonderfully tiled, vibrantly decorated in a blue overtone, creating a unique place to get ready ahead of your days out. Return home to the soothing lounge after a fun-filled adventure, a calming snug, with two arm chairs, and a woodburner effect fire, to create a night away from it all. There is a dining table perfect for you and your loved one, backed by a contemporary kitchen which houses light units, and everything you need to feel right at home. Make the most of the books, games, and Amazon Firestick available, courtesy of the owners. Outside, lies a shared patio area with furniture, and some more hidden gems are yet to be uncovered. The Bowes Museum is well worth a visit, spend a day wandering around this beautiful building and experiencing the fascinating exhibitions. Walking country is right on the doorstep, with woodland walks and cycle routes in the Lake District, the Pennine and Teesdale Ways. Also, safe dog walking area is only a 5 minute walk away. The Witham arts centre, with an events programme of music, theatre, film and comedy is at the heart of the town’s wide range of cultural events. 12 miles away is Kynren the UK's most spectacular open air show, an epic tale of 2000 years of English history. From events in the many village halls, to concerts in churches and an annual outdoor Shakespeare production by The Castle Players there’s lots of entertainment to enjoy. A holiday experience not to be missed.

Barnard Castle is a market town in Teesdale, situated within countryside surroundings. The town is on the site of a Roman ford, which crosses the river, plus the medieval ruins of the castle and the cobble streets, yards, and back lanes are well worth seeing. From the town, there is excellent walking with The Pennine and Teesdale Ways, River Tees and the waterfalls at High Force all nearby.

    Welcomed with a lovely breakfast hamper and treats for the dog and a bowl with his name on really made to feel welcome. Flat is fabulous warm and cosy with everything you need for your stay. Village is both beautiful and peaceful with plenty of history and some fantastic gravestones in the local church. People very friendly with some lovely local shops and pubs. Plenty things to do and see would definitely recommend this property. Thank you for a great stay and start to the year

    Perfect! Thank you Mel for being such a wonderful host - great communication leading up to our stay. Thank you for the very generous and thoughtful welcome pack. The accommodation had everything we needed. Excellent location right in the centre of Barnard Castle but still very quiet in the accommodation. Cafes, restaurants, shops and pubs on the doorstep. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thank you!

    You can tell that a lot of thought has been put into everything, it’s well equipped, very comfortable and so peaceful despite being in the centre of town. We had a great time - thank you!
