- Mr Kinnaird, April 2019
“The Stone Byre was amazing.”

Its facilities, surroundings, views and peace and quiet were exceptional. Thanks to Val and Rob for sharing such a beautiful place.

- Mrs Terretta, April 2019
“The Stone Byre is a well appointed and comfortable cottage in beautiful and quiet surroundings.”

The owners are most welcoming but did not intrude at all and provided us with undoubtedly the best complimentary hamper we’ve ever had (again)! Many thanks to Mr & Mrs Pearson once again and we have no hesitation in recommending this cottage to others.

- Mr Briggs, March 2019
“The cottage was lovely and clean and well equipped.”

It was very quiet with lovely views . The owners stayed next door and they were very friendly and helpful. There was a lovely welcome basket with essentials, coffee, tea, bisc etc including a bottle of prosecco.

- Ms Johnstone, March 2019
“A most comfortable cottage.”

The owners have thought of everything- a very generous welcome pack and a very tasteful, well- equipped house. Valerie and Robert are perfect hosts. We will go back as much to see and do in area.

- Mrs Martinelli, March 2019
“We have just spent a week here and I tried to think of some way to make it better but I failed.”

Every thing was just perfect and we felt at home straight away. We have stayed in many 4 star hotels that are not as good as the Stone Byre. Many thanks

- Mr Johnson, January 2019
“The area we visited was great .”

We have stayed in many of sykescottages but this was certainly the best all round and a credit to the owners who were very helpful and oblgeing.

- Mr Barker, November 2018
“We had a wonderful stay at Stone Byre from our warm welcome and cottage tour from Valerie to the day we sadly departed.”

The view of the fields with the sheep was particularly enjoyed from the bed. The cottage was warm, cosy and very clean. There was a lovely welcome basket in the very well equipped kitchen and in the lounge many books about the area and a varied selection of DVDs for young and old. The one very minor problem we had was immediately rectified. It would have been great to sit outside in the garden area but alas it was a bit cold at the end of October - perhaps we will return at a warmer time of year.

- Mr Greenbank, October 2018
“This cottage exceeded all expectations.”

On arrival there was a welcome box containing goodies including a bottle of sparkling wine, tea, coffee, sugar and biscuits. A container of fresh milk was in the fridge. The kitchen had a full size fridge / freezer and dishwasher; there was also a washing machine. Towels were provided for each person and the bedding was spotlessly clean, all of the highest standard. The beds were amazingly comfortable. Loo rolls, washing up liquid etc were all provided. The cottage was lovely and warm and we were able to adjust the heating as required. Fuel for the multi stove was provided although we only used it once as the heating system was so efficient. There was no 'walk-in' shower in the bathroom due to the size and level of the roof, however the water was plentiful and hot and there was a very powerful hand-held shower over the bath which was more than adequate. We didn't find this was an issue. We would highly recommend this cottage, you will not be disappointed.

- Mrs Mitchell, October 2018
“Fantastic”

What can I say? The owners are so friendly and on hand if required for anything. The cottage is one of the best we have ever stayed in, great location for sightseeing. Cottage is spotlessly clean, beds so comfy, welcome hamper on arrival. Nothing has been overlooked there is everything you could possibly need. Nice selection of book/games available. I could go on giving more compliments, would highly recommend to anyone. This place is a gem and a credit to the owners, will definitely return we had a wonderful stay.

“Beautiful peaceful cottage with everything you could need and more.”

Lovely welcome touches. This is the cleanest cottage we have ever been in . Its quiet location is wonderful but only 5 minutes drive from barnard castle and other places of interest not too far away either.

- Mrs Casey, August 2018
“Comfortable home from home peaceful perfect”

One of two properties attached to the owners house. Lovely owners on hand but not intrusive. Excellent welcome pack and welcome on arrival. Lovely well thought out and equipped cottage. Recently refurbished kitchen much improved from the pictures on the advert. Spotlessly clean with nothing missing that you might need - just add yourselves good and clothes!! Quiet but in easy reach of lots to do what ever the weather. The only thing that might be a negative for some is the shower is over the bath but due to the roof you can't stand up and shower in it unless you aren't very tall but we weren't too troubled by this as it was an excellent shower it's self. Thank you. We loved it and would certainly recommend to others.

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.
