About this property

Barnard Castle 4 miles. An outstanding, stone-built barn conversion in a courtyard setting, situated midway between Barnard Castle and the pretty village of Middleton-in-Teesdale. Superbly set in stunning countryside, this Barnard Castle cottage would suit anyone wanting peace and tranquillity yet within easy reach of a network of wonderful footpaths tracing the upper reaches of the Tees valley waterfalls. Boasting first-class accommodation, this spacious Barnard Castle cottage offers two charming bedrooms with TVs and en-suites with underfloor heating. The homely sitting room has elegant leather furnishings, exposed beams, oak doors and a feature stone fireplace with a woodburning stove - a lovely comfortable room to relax in following an enjoyable day out. Outside is a small private pretty patio, ideal for alfresco dining. Take a relaxing dip in the hot tub whilst enjoying panoramic views of beautiful unspoilt countryside or simply enjoy the extensive shared lawns. A short walk across the fields from this Barnard Castle cottage brings you to the delightful small village of Cotherstone with two local inns serving real ales and good food. From the doorstep of this Barnard Castle cottage, a network of scenic walks and trails canbe enjoyed whilst a 5 minute drive brings you to the popular, historic market town of Barnard Castle with a host of antique shops, tea rooms and independent shops. Be sure to visit the water front at the foot of the castle and take a hike further upstream to High Force and Cauldron Snout. Nearby are The Bowes Museum and Raby Castle with the splendid grounds and deer park. A fabulous Barnard Castle cottage, whatever the time of year.

Barnard Castle is a market town in Teesdale, situated within unspoilt countryside. 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.

    The cottage was beautiful, spotlessly clean and very well equipped, in an excellent location. The welcome gift was really appreciated. The hot tub was great with stunning views - we had a little trouble getting it to heat up on the first night but the owner sorted it out for us and it was a perfect way to spend my birthday, relaxing in the hot tub with a glass of wine after a day out at High Force waterfall! Wish we could have stayed longer!
