“I think the place needs an update, ...”

I think the place needs an update, it's a little dated so could do with modernising.

I think the place needs an update, it's a little dated so could do with modernising. The kitchen is also too small for a large group of people. The showers need to be more powerful too. Great hot tub, really comfortable beds, beautiful location.

“We had a fabulous weekend away as a ...”

We had a fabulous weekend away as a family. The location is perfect for a relaxing break and the outside area was fantastic. On first entering the house we were absolutely blown away with the generosity in the size of the house and so spacious for all the family to be able to have their own personal space. All rooms were clean and bed linen and towels were all included. For the amount of money we paid for the weekend though, I expected everything to be well looked after but was disappointed that the house didn't seem to have been cared for. There is paint flaking off the ceilings in the bathrooms, none of the toilets flushed properly, and the kitchen could do with a refresh.

“On arrival there was 60 birthday ...”

On arrival there was 60 birthday confetti everywhere and bottles of beers and wine in bins from previous people. We had clean the hoover out before we could hoover up the mess as the hoover was full and had no bag in it (I have a picture of this). We had to rewash the plates before we could use them as they had dried food on. The layout of the house was not to expectation as we was not made aware of how many steps there was around the home and we had disabled people with us. The sauna did not work and the 'gym' was a rowing machine. Overall for the cost it was we feel it was not worth its money and it was not entirely like the write up I read before hand.

“Disagreement between Sykes and the ...”

Disagreement between Sykes and the hotel about key collection time - 3pm v. 4pm. Pointed out not being able to lock the back door - no follow up from the hotel (managed, eventually, to lock it ourselves.) Kitchen very small for max. occupancy of 20 ~ we just about managed with 12. Only VERY very large plates, or very very small plates, and few bowls suitable for cereal or sweets. The open fire was great, except that it smoked badly, so we only used it the first night, as we were all kippered. The beds were very comfortable as were the many sofas, and there was lashings of hot water. The heating didn’t seem to keep to its time settings, but kept the place warm enough. The hot tub was much appreciated, but it was emptied for cleaning before the end of our booking, depriving us of a last soaking before we left. Although very close to the A66 it was nevertheless not too noisy. The situation for going for walks was good. The children had plenty of room to run around in, and the pool-table was in high demand. The wi-fi was a bit on the slow side and only really covered the central part of the building adequately. Several of us had no phone signal, although we understand that is often a rural problem beyond your control. All in all, a good time was had by all.

About the location

BARNARD CASTLE

Staindrop 6 miles; Richmond 13 miles; Darlington 16 miles; Durham 20 miles.

The market town of Barnard Castle is situated in the unspoilt countryside of Teesdale in County Durham. It stands on the site of an ancient Roman fort which crosses the river. The medieval ruins of the castle still tower over the river and are well worth a visit. Known affectionately as 'Barney’ by residents and visitors alike, the town boasts cobble streets, yards and back lanes, which were first laid out in the 12th century. The nearby Bowes Museum is well worth a visit and a wonderful way to spend a day wandering around this beautiful building and experiencing the fascinating exhibitions. Beautiful walking country is right on the doorstep of this lovely market town, with woodland walks and cycle routes and the Lake District, the Pennine and Teesdale Ways, and the River Tees and magnificent waterfalls at High Force are all within easy reach.
