Location: Staindrop Near Barnard Castle

Barnard Castle 5 miles; Durham 20 miles.

The pretty Teesdale village of Staindrop has always been closely associated with the fortunes of nearby Raby Castle and its owners. The Castle (open to the public) is one of the most grand in England. Enlarged and beautified over the centuries, the medieval heart remains and a walled garden and 200 acre deer park add to the splendour. Staindrop has many interesting shops, pubs and cafes set round its long village green. The popular market town of Barnard Castle is 5 miles away, with its castle, the Bowes Museum, plus of course its wide range of shops and tea-rooms. Walkers will enjoy the many walks around Teesdale.

Lovely surroundings in an area with plenty to see and do. The owners made us feel very welcome. We felt very relaxed in the property and would return!

A fantastic place to visit and the cottages were lovely, ideal for a large family holiday. We had 3 of them. Want to book again for next year!
