“Lovely apartment right at the side of the river Tees, spotlessly clean and very comfortable.”

Easy access to the town and local walks in the woods and along the river, also central for the many attractions of the Yorkshire Dales.

“We found the apartment warm and extremely comfortable.”

It was a very convenient base to explore the region – so saw lots of waterfalls, ruined abbeys, castles and wonderful scenery on our walks. Bowes Museum in Barnard Castle is simply stunning and we also recommend the gardens at Eggleston Hall, and Raby Castle. It was very interesting to read about the history of the house in a booklet provided and to know it had once been a weaver’s cottage, then an inn. On the Saturday there was constant rain so the river rose quite high and the sound of it rushing by was dramatic and pretty loud. However, the forecast had been for rain in Barnard Castle – all jokes by friends about visiting the optician were banned – but in the end apart from the Saturday the weather was wonderful – and perfect for walking. The town centre and the shops are easily accessible and we had a very good meal at Babul’s restaurant. So we have very happy memories of our stay - for which many thanks.

“We had the most amazing holiday here.”

Angela was brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. She was so kind. The views were out of this world and the apartment so comfy and spotless. The beds were amazing and we didn't want to leave! We will definitely be booking again to come back. The best place we have stayed! And so much to see and do. We loved watching the river out of the window and to be right opposite a castle was incredible.

“Just lovely”

We stayed at this property for 2 nights beginning of December and would definitely recommend it. The property is immaculate and has everything you would need. We stayed in the back room of the apartment and the view of the river and castle are beautiful. The whole apartment is very cosy but spacious. More than enough room for 4 people. It is within walking distance (maybe 10mins) if that to the centre of the town. While there isn’t parking at the property it wasn’t a problem as if you drive a little further you can park on the road. We would definitely love to come back

Mrs Oliver August 2019

“The apartment is spacious and comfortable and is in a beautiful location, right on the river, with amazing views of the castle and bridge from the bedroom and living room windows.”

It is only a short walk from a very pretty town and lots of woodland walks along the river. We could have stayed longer as lots more to discover in the surrounding area. We had a day in Durham with its beautiful cathedral and visited the high and low force waterfalls, which were definitely worth a visit, but spent the majority of our week exploring the local footpaths and visiting Bowes museum.

“The place is a perfect mix between nature and a lovely small village”

Mrs Andersson July 2019

“Wow! our first impression of the apartment.”

The owner has thought of everything to make your stay there a memorable one. It was very clean and bright with all of the comforts of home. The view from the bedroom is most impressive and the sound of the river very calming. The area of Barnard Castle is a hidden gem, we had not heard of it before booking and have to say we were not disappointed. There is plenty to do just on your doorstep, lovely walks and within a 20 mile radius lots of places to visit. We would love to go back again very soon. Marie & John (Bella) dog

Ms Hackett May 2019

“Highly recommend.”

The cottage was absolutely gorgeous. Perfectly clean, warm and welcoming. Everything u could need was there and available for use. Angela “the housekeeper “ who I would describe more of a friend was absolutely fantastic. She met us with a warm welcome on arrival and showed us round and explained how everything works and was on hand should we need her during our stay. The town itself was beautiful with plenty of shops, pubs and cafe’s. Katie’s fish and chips is well worth a visit. There are walks galore of which to choose and plenty of historic and beautiful sights to see, our favourite being High Force the highest waterfall in England., Absolutely beautiful. Listening to the river flowing by in the evening is so relaxing. The views from the cottage are wonderful, especially for nature lovers. Birds nesting in the bridge walls and bats at night caught our attention, even an owl. I would like to thank Angela and the owner for providing us with such a wonderful opportunity and thinking of everything for a home from home relaxing stay. We will definitely be visiting again.

“Unique location with a stunning view of Barnard Castle and literally on the river.”

The very comfortable accommodation made for a pleasurable stay. Easy picturesque walk in to town and not too far of a drive to some spectacular waterfalls. We have booked again for January when we'll be attending a wedding at Lartington Hall this being just a 5 minute drive away. Would highly recommend this luxury holiday apartment.

Jane B August 2018

“Stunning apartment. Perfect location.”

Just returned from a 7 night stay at this apartment and we are so impressed! Family of 4 and the dog and we all agreed this place is beautiful, a real home from home. On arrival we were made very welcome by Ang who was only a call away if we needed anything. The place was spotless, with all mod cons and a very well equipped kitchen. The apartment is in the most perfect and peaceful location looking over the river and the castle, and just a few minutes walk into the lovely town centre and lots of fabulous riverside and woodland walks. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone

“Excellent stay at 1 The Riverside.”

Housekeeper Angela couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming. Apartment was clean, modern and very well equipped. Fantastic location, only a very short walk from the town of Barnard Castle. The town has lovely shops, cafes, playground- bigger than expected. Bowes Museum was great. Would definitely stay here again if visiting the area.

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.
