Our cottage in Barnard Castle offers the perfect blend of countryside tranquillity and modern comfort.

Upon entering the cottage, guests can relax in the large lounge, with ample seating for all guests and a wood-burning stove to relax by on those winter evenings. There is a TV and several books for entertainment also.

The kitchen diner is well-equipped with both large and small appliances, including; dishwasher, fridge-freezer, oven and hob. Along with smaller appliances such as kettle, toaster and microwave. There is a large dining table for you to socialise and enjoy a homecooked meal around. It is a space I particularly enjoy after a day of being out and about - great for unwinding together!

Off from the kitchen, there is a laundry/utility space with a washing machine and dryer. Ideal if you have a spot of washing that needs doing.

Upstairs you can enjoy a restful night sleep in the master bedroom. This features a double bedroom and for storage, a large chest of drawers and a wardrobe. The master bedroom is also where you find the best view!

The second bedroom has two single beds making it perfect for children or friends. Storage space is not in short supply with a wardrobe and shelving space. This room also comes with a desk and does make for a peaceful place to do some work/studying.

There is a family bathroom, modern in style and recently renovated. Relax in the rolltop bath, or if you rather, there is a standalone shower.
