4 Castle Terrace

Great location for visiting local sites and for dog walks.

Well appointed cottage with everything we needed. We chose to sleep in the rear bedroom for the great views although the mattresses could do with replacing.

Beautifully presented cottage, set in a peaceful village.

Very well equipped with everything you need for a self-catering stay. Great communication from the friendly owner too.

Stunning property in an amazing location.

Very attentive host. We did encounter a few issues. Hot water kept going off. No frying pan or oven proof dish to cook in. Only one pan lid. No vase for flowers. Advised that going through three gardens and down an alley would lead to field. It lead to front of house so might as well leave by front door. Made no sense to me. Gorgeous walks out the back of the property.

Fabulous quirky property, quiet location.

A beautiful cottage, renovated to a high specification.

(For example, plenty of power outlets for recharging devices, solid oak doors, fantastic shower.) Very comfortable for all. Bathrooms are luxurious. Parking is 'on street' but we had no difficulty finding a space close to the front door. Warning - the staircase is steep and narrow - so take care.) Highly recommended.

We thought that some mention should be made of the steep stairs to the bedrooms as they were not easy for an elederly person with some mobility issues.

There was a lack of expected equipment such as no grater and not many teaspoons or mugs/cups / glassware compared with the number of plates which meant washing up rather than waiting for the dishwasher to be full before using.

We had a lovely stay here.

It exceeded our expectations and was in a beautiful location. Highly recommend walking down to the riverside woods and hearing owls from the bedroom window was a particular highlight! The property was immaculate. It was presented to a high standard whilst feeling homely and cosy. The kitchen was well-kitted out, though a veg peeler and bread knife would be helpful additions. The bedrooms were lovely and we slept well. Though the duvet was a bit heavy for the time of year and we struggled a bit with temperature as the heating was timed to come on. But these things didn't detract from our stay, just feedback for the owner. I found the owner very communicative in advance of and during the trip and I'm certain would have been helpful if the need arose. We certainly will return next time we're in the area!

A lovely well presented cottage, in a quiet one-street hamlet just off the A66.

As mentioned by others, sofa is low, and the lower stairs heading upstairs of differing heights. Both these things would be difficult for an elderly visitor. As we haven’t reached elderly status, we had no problems, and we had a great stay!

We loved our stay.

Friday to Monday. Wish it had been longer. The cottage is very nice. Very high spec fittings. The shower is amazing, as is the bath. Bedrooms are large with very comfy beds.Great WiFi and good size TV. Kate the owner made us feel welcome. Bowes is a great base for getting out and about. Try the social club, just down the road. The locals are very friendly and made us welcome. Had the best Birthday ever.

A truly unique property with gorgeous bathrooms and a view of Bowes castle.

A peaceful location close to Barnard Castle and some key areas of interest. We hope to stay again sometime in the near future.

Lovely clean house, bed super comfy, everything we needed, Pennine Way 2 mins walk away, would recommend and stay again.

We had a lovely stay at Castle Terrace which had everything we needed.

It was spotlessly clean, sofas, beds etc were comfortable and the bathrooms were lovely. In a little village, it was super quiet and you couldn't hear anything from outside! Not far from lovely walks and can reach the Pennine way from the doorstep. The pub in the village sadly closed but there were few in a few miles drive which were lovely. Would definitely come back.

A great property will hopefully use it again, a few minor points, I would raise the settee as it is very low, although we did laugh when the girls roled off it to get up.

Another four place settings in the crockary department and on a more serious note, I think the log burner door/ handle requires attention to make a tighter seal and operating instructions for the flu and draw controls. A very comfortable and up market property in a very friendly village close to beautiful scenery with walks all around.

Lovely cottage in a quiet location with easy access to surrounding attractions.

Bowes castle a short walk from property and can be seen from rear, lit up at night. Beds very comfortable as was sofa. Take note as sofa very low and cushions could do with extra padding. As it's self catering there is not a lot of cupboard space for provisions. Small freezer in fridge in need of defrosting. I'm 5'2" so could not reach top cupboards. Lack of cleaning products in shower room and bathroom. Log Fire was great on the wet,windy days/nights. Overall the cottage is lovely, just a few niggles.

Castle View it said and yes looking out of the back windows was a castle lit up in all its glory.

Arrived, unpacked then enjoyed the lovely downstairs shower room before a slumber on the comfy sofa. TV had all the channels wanted. Upstairs the bedrooms were quiet thanks to the new doubled glazed windows. This property was wonderful. Its close promity to the Moors, Barnard Castle, Richmond, Darlington and Durham allowed for a busy week of sightseeing. Highly recommended anyone to stay and enjoy some downtime.

We absolutely loved our stay at Castle Street.

From the moment we arrived, the cottage was spotless and so well-equipped, with amenities that went above and beyond expectations. It felt like a home away from home. The setting is stunning, with beautiful and peaceful local walks right on the doorstep. The nearby Ancient Unicorn pub was great – we visited both for food and drinks and couldn’t fault the staff, service, quality, or value. The log-burning fire added a cosy touch in the evenings, while the courtyard, sheltered from the elements, became a perfect little sun trap during the day. A couple of practical notes: if you have back or neck issues, it’s worth bringing your own pillow, and as advertised, the cottage is not the easiest spot for anyone with significant mobility concerns – though with a little support it is manageable. All in all, this has been a wonderful stay. We’ll certainly be recommending this charming cottage to friends and family, and we’re already looking forward to returning ourselves.

The cottage was perfect so clean and comfortable we had a great time so many walks our dog loved swimming in the mill pond The cottage and the village eas one of those places you really want to revisit

Kate had clearly spent a lot of time making the cottage into a lovely place for a holiday.

We had a very nice stay and would happily stay again next time we are in the area

A wonderful stay at Castle Terrace.

The weather was kind the bed and couch were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. Bowes is a lovely village surrounded by stunning countryside with lovely walks from the front door. There are loads of small towns and places to visit; Bernard Castle has many places for good coffee and cake. Saltburn and Ullswater both just over a hour away. So many places and shops are dog friendly which is much better than where we live.

The sofa was a bit low for my elderly mum There was no kitchen roll

A wonderful host and property.

Clean, homely and just so right.

Fantastic stay, lovely cottage, great area

A beautiful holiday cottage!

Warm, clean and very well equipped, with very good quality fixtures and fittings. A nice little courtyard garden and a great location for visiting the area.

We had a lovely few days.

The cottage is beautifully furnished with everything we could need. We would love to return

The cottage was lovely, and the host was very helpful.

The village is very quiet which was just what was needed. Hopefully we will visit again some day

We had a really relaxing time at this cottage over Christmas.

The house has been tastefully renovated and decorated with all the mod cons you can think of. Kate is super friendly and met us on arrival. They live next door, which I think is great if anything should go wrong. Not that it did for us. We brought quite a bit of food with us as we went over Christmas. However there’s not tons of cupboard space if you’re bringing things but it’s easy to make do. Yes we would return the village is very friendly and the location is superb!

We had a lovely stay.

It's in a beautiful village very quiet..... when we arrived the cottage was very chilly no hamper which I thought was unusual with it been a New Year stay .. the fridge/freezer was very small we had to leave our drink for our 4 nt stay outside luckily it was cold with been 4mile from shops I did take food with me but did struggle to fit what needed to go in the freezer compartment .. I read on the reviews that the couch was very low and I agree there was a lot of throws covering it and got very messy forever straightening them up and floor was lifting in many areas ... bedrooms and bathrooms were very tastefully done and the view of the castle from the 2nd bedroom was spectacular .... it may sound very negative but there was many positives it was a cosy cottage once we got the burner going .. the kitchen and bathrooms where very clean and beds very comfortable overall it was a lovely stay with my in laws making memories.

We had a lovely stay at the property.

It had everything we needed and was within close proximity for days out to local places in a short drive. The owner kept us informed throughout too. The property was clean and cosy.

Loved this cottage and will be booking again.

We needed an escape from normality. And this ticked every box.. Who else as a bonus has practically a castle in your back garden. Just awesome thank you.

The Cottage was lovely and cosy.

We loved the log fire. The property was very well equipped. Cupboard storage space for the food and sundries we took with us was a little limited. Some hooks above where the Bench seat is would be good idea as we had nowhere to hang coats etc. Other than that the property was first class and would definitely return at some point.

Everything as expected from the listing and photos.

Very comfortable, cosy and clean. No issues and would definitely recommend or visit again.

overall an excellent property very clean modern bathrooms, comfortable beds and bedrooms.

plenty of room downstairs but a little too cold and the sofas were a little low. Handy for the surrounding area. overall a pleasant stay.

This property was so clean, comfortable and well set out.

We certainly recommend a stay here.

Thank you for providing a lovely and homely place to stay for our short break.

The cottage was very clean and welcoming. I would definitely recommend and hope to book again in the future.

Cottage is great, very comfortable and love that there was laundry facilities in the out house in the garden.

Kitchen had everything we needed, and the induction hob worked great (took us a bit to work out the way of it so maybe some instructions could be considered for future guests). Loved being able sit out in the garden which was very dog proof for our small jack russell (only thing I'd say is the weeds and nettles are a bit of a pest especially trying to get to wheelie bins) - would love to return.

The cottage had everything needed for a very comfortable stay.

Take one old cottage,add a contempary refurb and you get a perfect homely house. Cannot fault at all. A truly great stay.

Ancient and modern describes it.

Great base for exploring the area. It was booked for 4 but 2 had to decline as they could not get the time off. This made it more difficult for us as we needed there help with the stairs. Sofa's were a bit low and soft for us oldies but overall not too bad. No bin for recycling could have been empted and not returned. Bad weather did not help but it's a great base to explore the area.

What a lovely house.

We were lucky with the weather and spent a lot of time outside, but the bathrooms were excellent and the bed v comfortable - all you could wish. We’d definitely come back.
