Stang View

Stayed before and out of many holiday rentals -- best ever welcome pack !

Very clean , comfortable and user friendly in fantastic location. That's all apart from the outside of property which has got worse- between rentals this could easily be tidied up ! With the great weather in UK, outside space is important , more than ever and it's a shame to spoil - a good stay could be made excellent !!

The property is in a great location for access to Barnard Castle and the town.

Unfortunately we were unable to enjoy the rear garden as it was a little overgrown and had not been left clean by previous guests. However, the house inside was lovely, very spacious and welcoming, and fully equipped. Also, as regular travellers, we have never had such a generous welcome pack, full of everything from milk and biscuits, to cheese and eggs, it was much appreciated.

Yet another visit to STANG View.

So central with dog walks from the front door. Comfortable, clean and well equipped. Will be returning next year as it’s perfect for our needs.

Lovely property well equipped great location.

Garden could do with a bit of a tidy and the seating area a bit small. Would highly recommend and would stay again.

Stang view is well situated only a few minutes walk from Barnard Castle town.

It's ideal for walks close by or exploring Teesdale The house was warm, comfortable, and cleaned to a good standard with a lovely welcome pack

Excellent accommodation, Comfortable and attractive we thoroughly enjoyed our week and have already booked a return next year.

A lovely cottage and in such a great position for accessibility to the Town Centre and the Bowes Museum.

The only slight niggles we had were the bedding in the main bedroom was clean but the scent of the washing powder or whatever had been used was really overpowering to the point where I had a headache so perhaps something different could be used? The sofa and chairs in the living room smelt a little fusty and could probably benefit from a shampoo, but they were comfortable. The welcome basket was one of the best we've ever received and was a lovely touch and was very welcome. All in all we had a great stay and would definitely return! Thank you!

been to Stang View on 3 occasions, so it must be good.

. property is in immaculate condition. plenty of space inside property. I know rear garden is small but it is adequate. perhaps the sofa could be considered for renewal as had to bring support cushion to keep it at appropriate height. Minor matter; perhaps and is as a result of being too old!

Not first time we have stayed at Stang View.

Absolutely love the property and location. Good walk for dogs nearby and all we want is in walking distance of the house. Ready to book again.

Parking outside the house was easy, nice welcome pack, the house was spacious and warm with a very secure garden for our dogs.

The main seating was a bit tired and the corners of the cooker hood caused my head a few problems as it seemed to be too low (I am 6’ 1’’). Overall the house was good value and we would book again.

A convenient and comfortable location to explore lovely Barnard Castle, and the beautiful Durham Dales.

Very good and useful welcome pack, thank you.

The house was in a perfect location for exploring around Barnard Castle.

Parking was first come, first served but I always managed to park either out the front or at the side. The house was well organised and the welcome gifts were gratefully received. The house was much more spacious than I expected and the back garden was a bonus for my 2 dogs. For the future, it really does need a lick of paint over the scuffs and new sofa; it is very low and soft and gave me a bad back. The chairs were much more comfortable. Also, a choice of pillows would be a nice touch. I had 4 really soft pillows and needed 3 to stop my neck aching.

Very comfortable accommodation and great location.

My husband is from Barney and we love the town with lots of other places to visit and explore. Beautiful walks and coffee shops. The holiday let is just so nice and convenient it has everything we need and it's cosy on colder days. A lovely place to relax.

The cottage was comfortable and welcoming, with the location perfect for walks and the local amenities.

The welcome pack provided was really appreciated and the secure garden was perfect for our dog. The only small improvement suggestion would be a coffee table in the living room.

This is our third stay here ,really happy with the property .

Ample room for 4 people and two dogs . Good location for town , 5 mins . Property has everything you need , on street parking but tons of space . Only one negative comment from guests , the sofa is ready to be changed - looks fine but very uncomfortable to sit on - way to saggy and needs cushions to sit on it without sinking in . Otherwise a really good holiday let - would totally recommend.

Our third visit.

A good base to explore Barnard Castle plus the surrounding hinterlands of Durham and North Yorkshire.

Stang View is a bright, spacious and airy house, very welcoming.

It's located in a quiet part of the town and has easy access to all parts of the town and some lovely walks. It was clean and tidy. A lovely welcome tray of treats was most appreciated! The bed was comfy, nice bathroom. Towels and bed linen were good quality. The kitchen is great, spacious and well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were most relaxed when we left.

STANG View did not disappoint.

Very comfortable and equipped well. Bonus for us was two double rooms along with a spacious shower. Garden fully secure for dogs who also enjoyed the walks from the front door. Great central position for both town and supermarket. Will definitely go back to STANG View so much more to see x

Stag view is a lovely cottage close to town.

Great places to walk our dog. Great welcome pack. Would highly recommend and look forward in returning again.

We had a very good week at Stang View.

The house is warm and comfortable, convenient for the town and Bowes Museum. We appreciated the generous welcome pack - one improvement would be to include a toilet roll!

This was my second stay at Stang View and I hope to return again.

The house is very cosy, clean and well equipped. The excellent welcome gifts of food and wine were very much appreciated. The garden is safe and enclosed for the dog. Stang View is also very well situated in Barnard Castle. The property owner was very helpful when I contacted her with a query. So couldn't have been better -thanks for a great holiday!

Excellent visit again to Stang View.

It really is a lovely house. Immacutely clean with all the amenities you need. The welcome pack is so generous and very much appreciated. This is our third visit and hopefully won't be our last.

Cleaning could be better lots of cobwebs need a lot of TLC especially hall stairs and landing.

This could be a great place with a few recommendations. As in ideal position

Lovely property, really enjoyed our stay.

Warm and cosy on a snowy winter's day. Property was well equipped with everything we needed. Great central location.

Great location to reach a wedding we attended

excellent location for walks, shops and attractions.

spacious clean property with everything needed for an enjoyable trip.

Lovely clean cottage , warm,and ample room for me hubby and my little dog,the welcome package was great.

The only thing that let it down was lack of hand wash,and only had 2 toilet rolls, 1 kitchen rolls ,and could do with a better and bigger TV ,otherwise perfect .

Parking on street but never an issue.

Steps to front door but easy access to rear without steps. Lovely area for amenities and walks with dogs. Cottage warm and comfortable. Decent kitchen, good cupboard space but not a great deal of worktop space. Nice dining room and comfortable living room. Sofa not the best but we used the chairs which were fine. Bedrooms comfortable. Good sized bathroom; there is a small step in/out. Shower is excellent. Outside back yard/garden is fully enclosed so ideal for dogs. Short walk to both large dog walking area and to shops, pubs and eateries. Very good all round.

An absolutely lovely property, well kept, clean and with everything you could need for a stay in Barnard Castle.

We felt completely at home during our week’s trip, cosy in the living room on an evening and slept peacefully in the large comfy bed. One small suggestion would be to add a shelf to the shower cubicle for toiletries, but we managed. Water pressure in the shower is exceptional (for those like me who find a low pressure shower enough to ruin a whole trip!). Our hosts had thought of everything; the information pack was crammed with great ideas for local walks, restaurants and takeaways (we highly recommend Capri!) and all the how-to guides for the kitchen etc. And the milk, bread, wine and cookies were a wonderful welcome surprise to find on our arrival. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we made some fantastic memories celebrating my husband’s 40th birthday, and we will definitely be back in the future!

Excellent cottage.

Easy to find with plenty of parking. Much bigger accommodation than initially thought from outside. A lovely kitchen, ideal if you are entertaining. Everything I needed for a short stay. Will definitely visit again and recommend to family and friends.

Really lovely accommodation.

only few minutes walk from town centre. One or two minor gripes but not in any way that diminished our stay. Will certainly be booking again.

We did like the house it was central to meet our needs with shops and lovely places to walk.

It was nice and warm and comfortable. We will certainly book this property again. However, it was silly little things missing that we would have expected that our previous holiday rentals had. 1 1/2 loo rolls/no bin bags/no tin foil of which we had to buy ourselves. The was very little kitchen roll, again we had to buy. Small things I know, but, these things can make a huge difference. All in all - we had a lovely stay and will be back. ps. there was no visitor's book to look at other peoples comments and add our own like in our previous holiday rental.

Lovely comfortable , cosy house .

We really enjoyed our stay .

We had a great stay at Stang View, the house is lovely and very well equipped, very spacious and comfortable.

Its right on the doorstep for some lovely walks, especially at the side of the Castle which is literally a 10 min walk from the front door. The high street has lots of lovely little shops, most of which are dog friendly, my dogs loved all the attention and treats they got. There was a lovely and very useful welcome pack awaiting us in the kitchen and the house was lovely and warm, The garden is very secure for dogs and the outside hose was very handy. We loved our stay here, it was very relaxing and felt very homely, the dogs had a great time exploring the area, as did we and i especially loved the little antiques area at the bottom of the high street. I am already looking to re book to come back here and do more exploring.

Lovely property.

Very cosy with a nice back garden. Beds are comfortable and shower/bath both good. Short of toilet rolls and dish washer tablets! Able to park car outside front of property which was good. Very local to shops, parks and walks.

This was a lovely break and the cottage lacked for nothing.

The welcome pack was an extra special touch we were not expecting and meant that we didn’t have to rush to the shop on arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the friendly people and Barnard Castle itself. I would have no hesitation in recommending Stang View to friends.

We were very pleased with Stang View and it was excellent in every way.

Very comfortable living room, first class kitchen and equipment, spacious and comfortable bedrooms and lovely bathroom. Good storage space and nice garden (plenty of birds). It's all in the details and these are thoughtfully covered, even down to the lighting. The location was super-convenient, for the town centre, the Bowes Museum and exploring the area. Easy on-street parking, too. Good walks, plenty to do locally - highly recommended. And thank you for the very generous and thoughtful welcome pack. Top marks all round.

This is a really good property , very clean and modern .

It is an ideal base as plenty of room for 4 people , good bedrooms , large bathroom , plenty of room for cooking and eating , large breakfast bar and a dining room . Small but decent walled enclosed garden with grass . Five minutes to dog walk start - mass of open fields and river walks , then five minutes to reach shops , restaurants or bars . Perfect

Unfortunately there was a new gas main being installed in the street.

We were awakened early each morning to the sound of pneumatic driils, diggers, wagons etc. Whilst it isn't anyone's fault, I'm not going to lie, it did affect our holiday. We even left a day early.

Our stay at Stang View lived up to expectations, a real home from home, and we appreciated the generous welcome pack!

There are lots of walks for dogs near the property, and the town centre was within walking distance. We would love to return to Stang View one day, we highly recommend this lovely property!

Great location.

Barnard Castle centre and most walks easy to get to and people in Barnard Castle very friendly. Lovely welcome pack. Stang View was warm and had a nice feel to it. Missing a few simple things that would make it a really good place rather than one that we would describe as nice. Beds and settee in need of new mattress and/or seating firming up. No hair dryer. Looks as though owners are part way through renovating/improving look and decoration. Summary - a good base but some little things not quite right for us.

Fantastic cottage with everything you could need.

Generous welcome pack was a lovely surprise. Within walking distance to the town with numerous shops/pubs/restaurants. Great dog walks nearby and of course almost next to the fantastic Bowes Museum. Property was very clean and extremely comfortable. One of the best cottages I've stayed in. I would definitely return. A credit to the owner.

What a great time we had staying here.

This is a wonderful homely yet modern equipped cottage, well positioned in the town.

A really good holiday home, well looked after.

Great location.

We had a lovely stay the cottage was the perfect venue as we were attending a wedding.

Lovely property would definitely stay again if in the area.

Comfy bed, plenty of storage. Bathroom fine again plenty of storage for toiletries (only negative the sink was very slow draining). Kitchen had everything we needed, dishes, utensils etc. spacious dining room and living room with comfortable sofa and chairs. Plus a big thank you for the best welcome pack we’ve ever had, fresh bread, butter, cheese, eggs, milk, cookies and a bottle of wine! (Think I’ve remembered everything) The rear garden was safe and secure for our dog. Plenty of ideal walks from the doorstep, along the river to the Abbey ruins. It’s a lovely market town lots of places to eat and drink, plenty of shops and a supermarket. We were lucky with the weather lots of sun before the storm swept in as we left for home.

Fabulous homely property in excellent condition.

Spotless when we arrived with a much appreciated welcome pack that was far better than expected. Main bedroom was very spacious and a fantastic comfy bed. Great to have a small enclosed garden for the dog who loved the dozens of rural walks right on the doorstep. House is at the end of town but just 3 minutes flat walk to the high street. Definitely one of the best we've stayed at with Sykes.

Lovely house and well appointed.

It was deceptively spacious and clean and tidy. Host Erica was responsive when we had an issue with the WiFi. Great location for Barnard Castle exploring.

Lovely clean and well equipped house.

The property fulfilled all our needs. Great location for lovely walks with our dog. Shops, pubs and takeaways only 5 minutes walk from the house. The front bedroom bed was to soft for my husband (we have firm bed at home) that being said we did manage to sleep ok and it didn’t spoil our holiday. We all really enjoyed our stay. Thank you for the lovely welcome pack, it was much appreciated.

The property is well placed for easy access to the centre of Barnard Castle and the outside space at the back is safe and dog friendly.

The property is spacious, the heating works well and there is an endless supply of hot water. However the properties beds and seating in the lounge are soft and extremely uncomfortable, we booked because other reviews claimed the beds were comfortable. If you have any medical issues with your back I would suggest this property is not for you. We left 2 days earlier than the change over day as we were so uncomfortable.

The house was larger than expected, a good size two bedroom terrace, a reasonable size front room and a nice up to date kitchen diner, there is a small dining room to the side of the kitchen but did not need to use due to breakfast bar.

The main bedroom is a good size with a large king size bed that was comfy. The bathroom is also a reasonable size with a good shower and full size bath, nice hot water on demand. The location is as stated, and if you have dogs there is a nice walk around the museum grounds/wood that is just 2 minutes up the road, longer walks are just a 5 minute walk away down the road and across from the front of the museum, the town centre is a 5 minute walk with plenty of shops and cafes, a bit lacking in pubs with only one that we really liked(The three horse shoes) it was nice and clean and modern but the food choice was lacking. On arrival at Stang View there was a nice touch as others have said, with milk, cheese, eggs, bread and a bottle of red wine! We can vouch for the heating working as we were cooked in the middle of the night as someone had set a heating schedule to come on at 25 degrees! So just check no one has set a scheduling the heating control! The only slight niggles with the accommodation was it would have been nice to have black out curtains in the bedroom as it was quite light in the morning ( we like a sleep in!) also the large frying pan would not work with the induction hob, and a bigger kitchen bin as we had to empty it all the time, these are really minor things and we had a lovely stay and would stay again.

A super property, spotlessly clean throughout.

Comfy beds and a great shower in the bathroom. We would definitely stay at Stang View again. Easy access to the town centre with its shops and amenities. There were plenty of amazing walks both from the door and further afield.

This was our second stay at Stang View, Barnard Castle.

We love the location of the house as it is within walking distance to everything in Barnard Castle. The kitchen is very well equipped with every utensil and pot anyone will ever need, the induction hob is super quick and very responsive which makes cooking very easy and safe. Both bedrooms offer very good storage space and very comfortable beds. The bathroom is light and bright offering both bath, and fully enclosed shower options. The garden is enclosed and safe for our little dog who loved sunbathing on the grass. Great place to stay, we will be back. Ian, Mia and Patsy

A comfortable house, convenient for town and The Bowes.

Great property and location.

Barnard Castle & the area are wonderful.

Only issue was waste bins.

The otherwise excellent manual referred to three waste/recycling containers. We only had access to one general waste bin which was full on arrival and not emptied during our stay.

We turned up to a lovely welcome package and a beautifully clean property.

The bedrooms were a great size, the garden was a real plus for the dogs. Downstairs you had everything you could need, a real home from home. Lovely property in an amazing location and in beautiful Barnard Castle. Thankyou, Stang View made our stay super special.

I would highly recommend this property.

Beautiful kitchen, lounge , bedroom and fab bathroom. Very good shower. Great to have the washing machine and dishwasher. Home comforts. Bed quite soft but that was fine for us. Yes the garden could do with a bit of a tidy but the flowers in it looked lovely. 100% dog proof. House positioned short walking distance from the towns cafes, pubs, and shops. We had an absolutely fabulous meal in Capri would highly recommend and personally I would say best place in town. So many dog walks on the door step, over the fields, down by the river, and through woodland. All in all a perfect holiday

First time staying here , have stayed in Barnard Castle many times - but first one to have a garden .

For us that made all the difference having dogs - leaving the French doors open for the dogs to wander in and out - totally secure garden . House was modern , beautiful kitchen , first class shower- huge , bedrooms very comfy and front one enormous- 5 mins into town and for dog walks . Would definitely book again .

We had a fantastic couple of days.

Pet friendly and only a few minutes walk to the town centre and local walks. The cottage was ideal and great value for money. One small downfall was not been able to enter until 16:00 and we had to vacate at 10:00.

Another lovely stay at Stang View.

Home from home comfort & facilities, and a great location for easy access to Barnard castle and beyond. A perfect place to stay and we will definitely be booking again soon!

Lovely house with everything we needed for a very comfortable stay.

The house is close to the Bowes Museum and within easy walking distance of the town centre and local attractions. The welcome pack was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely property.

Welcome pack much appreciated. Enjoyed some lovely walks despite getting caught in heavy hail

Lovely Cottage.

We had a fab chilled week. The cottage was clean, cosy and spacious. Very generous welcome pack. Just a 5 minute walk to town and in a quiet area. Even though it was road parking it was easy to park. We will be returning.

Lovely cottage and only a 5minuite walk into the town.

Great welcome pack on arrival only thing for us were the beds were too soft causing not a good nights sleep. Lovely place and would definitely recommend to other people

The property in general was lovely.

Extremely clean. The location is perfect and the bathroom was fabulous. Our only negative feedback would be the comfort of the furniture in the lounge and the efficiency of the oven.... irrespective of the setting, it took an hour to cook anything. The property would benefit from a few soft touches to enhance your stay.

Had a gorgeous chilled week staying in Stang View.

So cosy and clean and spacious. Great for staying with dogs. Welcome pack was the most generous and thoughtful one we’d ever had! What a lovely surprise. Just a five minute stroll to the high street it is perfectly positioned and in a quiet area of town with easy parking. Barnard Castle is an absolute gem with lots of independent shops, really friendly folk and fabulous walks from the doorstep. We will definitely return. Thank you Erica & Graham.

Our second time of staying at the property and it won’t be our last .

The welcome pack which consisted of milk, butter, bread ,cookies and a bottle of wine very generous. The place is lovely !

We loved staying in Stang Cottage, ideally located for walking in to Barnard Castle which is a lovely town with plenty of shops, pubs and cafes.

We had a fantastic meal at the Italian restaurant Capris. The cottage had everything we needed, the kitchen was very well equipped, and everywhere was warm and immaculately clean. We enjoyed it so much we have booked to return in September as the weather was not the best and there is so much to explore in the area.

Excellent property in an excellent location within Barnard Castle.

10 minute stroll to the Main Street. Nice welcome pack of wine, bread, milk, butter & cookies. As this is winter, we were not able to utilise the outside space, but I would suggest it would be nice to sit on a warm sunny day. Would return again.

Stang View is the 7th property I've stayed in Barnard Castle alone and by far is the best !

Location , comfort and and value are excellent , the welcome pack - greatly received , especially as it was freezing outside. The heating quickly warmed the place up with good tv coverage. Highly recommended !

We have just returned from a lovely week staying in Stang View - our second this year.

It's perfect for three of us - comfortable and very easy to look after - and the welcome pack of essentials (including bread, butter, milk, eggs and cookies) was very much appreciated. The location is brilliant - within easy walking distance of town centre shops and supermarkets. Despite the cold weather we were very comfy reading in front of the log fire but did venture out for walks in the Deepdale Nature Reserve and from Bowlees Visitor Centre. We also took advantage of our annual passes to revisit the Bowes Museum (purchased in April as they were cheaper than day tickets). We mostly dined at home as few of the pubs offer evening meals during the week and the kitchens close early (at least early for us!) but we did enjoy a very good meal at the Capri Italian restaurant (five minutes walk away on Newgate) and takeaways from the Barnard Castle Fisheries and Babul's (both on the Horse Market) were excellent. We're looking forward to our next visit!

Absolutely wonderful property, clean and comfortable thank you for letting this out to us.

The welcome pack was a lovely touch and very well received. The only small comment is the lighting in the smaller bedroom was a little dull once it was dark outside. However, we had a wonderful stay in a beautiful part of our country.

The only thing missing was there was no hairdryer.

Which would have been extremely useful . Otherwise cannot fault the property or welcome gift.

Lovely house, very clean, comfortable and well equipped.

A couple of tips a) need to supply washing up bowl and drainer as not everyone wants to use a dishwasher and b)a visitors book to see what places to visit, places to eat that previous guests would recommend. Two minor issues that need robe addressed 1) ITV hub stops after about 40 minutes and will not restart. 2) Could not use the hob despite following the instructions provided as the only button that works is on/off, pressing the icons to select a particular ring to use does not work. Overall a lovely property and would highly recommend.

Pleasant and very clean cottage in a good position for walking into Barnard Castle and visiting surrounding area.

Only down side for us was the back 'garden' with was great for the dog but we couldn't be tempted to sit in, nothing a good tidy, few plants and decent outdoor furniture wouldn't sort.

would love some comfy seating outside, the table and chairs were great, but not the comfiest on a warm evening

Really nice stay.

the house was clean and well laid out....the garden could do with a spruce up and watch your head on the enormous fan cover above the hob ! Well located just 5 minute walk to town centre but nice and quiet...friendly owner if any problems..would recommend

Second stay at Stang View and enjoyed it just as much as the first.

It’s a great property - spacious and well equipped, with better saucepans than I have at home! The main bed is super soft which I personally love but might not be everyone’s cup of tea. A little radio in the kitchen might be a nice touch?

Lovely property, the welcome gift was amazing and very unexpected.

Enjoyed most our stay except for the garden, we had a couple of lovely warm evenings but was unable to use the garden as it was so overgrown. Getting to the bins at the back I had to fight my way through all the flowers and weeds that were across the path. Getting into the front door was equally as bad as a very thorny bush smacked me in the face in the wind. Such a shame as in the pictures the garden was lovely.

Really enjoyed staying at this property.

It was clean, comfortable and situated really well for exploring the area. Really good area for dog walking and plenty of dog friendly places to visit. Made a lovely change to be able to leave the car and walk into town. Very generous welcome pack, comfy beds, amazing shower. 10 out of 10 for us.

The accommodation was very comfortable, clean and spacious.

Lovely to receive a little welcome pack of wine, milk, eggs, bread and biscuits

A super cottage, on a quiet road and only a few minutes walk from the town.

Spacious kitchen with everything you need. Loved the wood burner - lovely and cosy! Plenty of space upstairs in the main bedroom and excellent comfortable bed - a must after walking the beautiful dales! The cottage has been well thought out and well maintained -makes for an ideal location to explore gorgeous countryside ( plenty of walks from town and surrounds) and explore the locals shops, restaurants and pubs of BC. Everyone is so friendly to! Thank you for a lovely stay- we’ll definitely we back!

Stang View is a spacious and comfortable property.

It is furnished and decorated to a high standard and situated close to the town centre and the Bowes Museum ( both only 5 mins walk). The Demesne, a large open area close to the river is also close by. Although close to these amenities, it was a very quiet street. The welcome pack was much appreciated, as was the overall cleanliness of the property. The only downside for us was the cooker hood which was quite low and protruded significantly- my husband banged his head a couple of times - and the soft mattress on the bed. Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

Fabulous cottage… excellent in everything.

Couldn’t fault at all. Very clean and comfortable and everything you need. Welcome goodies brilliant, thank you. Highly recommend. But would have liked a hairdryer, looked everywhere but couldn’t find and also separate bin in kitchen for recycling.

Ideally located for town and countryside, beautiful, well equipped and cosy cottage.

We had a fabulous stay and the welcome tray of goodies was much appreciated. Nothing to complain about! Good to see that there had been response to previous reviews eg the new bannister up the stairs.

Fantastic place and location.

A lovely property with easy access to local facilities.

Welcome pack was great. Really enjoyed our stay, thank you!

Raised issue with you after arriving at holiday le5 and still awaiting a response from either the property owner or Sykes Cottages.

Poor customer service which will be reflected in our online review.

Very nice cottage Nice position for the town A little disappointed that not one toilet roll was left .

Just a minor Isisue but sometimes a the necessity.

The house was in a perfect location, central for all the shops and the welcome pack was excellent, we didn't arrive until late on Friday and the pack was very welcome, saved us from having to go out shopping straight away.

Lovely place would definitely stay again

This is one of the nicest holiday cottages I’ve ever stayed in.

Everything is of very good quality and it’s spacious, comfortable and excellent for dogs, having a fully enclosed back garden and an excellent dog walking area within 3 minutes walk. Barnard Castle’s High Street, a Morrison’s and Bowes Museum are less than a 10 minute walk. We had no trouble finding a place to park outside.

We had a lovely stay at Stang View a lovely terraced house within 5 minuets walk of the town and 15 minuets walk from the Bowes Museum .

We would have liked a hand rail on the stairs as we both have some mobility issues and the stairs are quite steep The sound on the TV was quite distorted so maybe needs some speakers to solve this problem .

We rented the cottage to have a mini-honeymoon after getting married in a tiny ceremony a couple of days before.

Neither of us had been to Barnard Castle before but both really enjoyed our stay. The cottage is lovely and was clean and equipped with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The location was great, right in the town centre and had lots of nice walks to take with our dog. All in all a very enjoyable short break.

Immaculate,well appointed and equipped.

The location couldn’t be better both for the town and the the local environs.

The cottage was beautifully presented and immaculately clean, with lots of welcoming touches.

It is in a convenient position, just a five minute walk from the centre of Barnard Castle but also close to lots of walks and places to visit. We particularly enjoyed our trips to the castle itself and to High Force/Low Force at Newbiggin in Teesdale. Highly recommended.

The cottage is in a fabulous location.

It is immaculately clean and to a very good standard. Everything has been thought about and the cottage is really well equipped. Barnard Castle itself is a beautiful quaint town with so much to do on glorious countryside.

Lovely stay , house was spotless ,well equipped with everything you need, great location , highly recommend
