The location was just what we were looking for, we didn't have time to use the spa facilities. Beautiful decoration in harmony with the building. The body care products were very welcome after a long day out, also a hairdryer. Very friendly staff and the breakfast was superb and plentiful. Everything piping hot and good quality produce. An ideal hotel for anyone planning to explore Yorkshire.

Everything about our stay from arriving early and being checked straight in, the room we were in was in the original part if the building it had so much charm, temperature in the room was perfect, bed was comfortable, room was immaculate. Would highly recommend staying here, breakfast the next morning is probably the best we've ever had in a hotel.

Hidden gem is a very interesting choice of name for this...

Hidden gem is a very interesting choice of name for this property as in my experience of the house, there was no beauty and it definitely should be kept hidden from anyone looking for accommodation in County Durham! The location of the property is in a blacked out data and phone signal area and according to the Bureau of Statistics, the location has a seriously high crime rate. Both of these facts, the hosts neglects to list in his description. As for the crime rate, I can believe this as someone tried to break in whilst I was out. The door was damaged and a locksmith had to come and repair it. Mould has set in to the silicon around the bath, the beds and sofa are well worn out and there was a bin liner full of household waste left in the rear courtyard that was attacked by noisy foxes during the night. The host also fails to list in his description that he has a camera inside facing the front door, which I imagine breaches privacy laws. The property is a tacky residence that has signs of being neglected whilst trying to squeeze as much money as possible out of would-be renters. Avoid disappointment and steer clear of this property and any other property this host may promote! He is very short on honesty with his listings!

Bowes Museum is a must see when staying at Barnard Castle...

Bowes Museum is a must see when staying at Barnard Castle which is walkable from town centre but also has an extensive car park.The museum will allow re entry once admission is paid which is useful as there is alot to see. Range of shops in high streets including antique shops. B.C. high street in on a steep slope if one is disabled. No 3 cafe in Galgate is very good for a meal.Raby Castle, six miles away, is also worth a visit.

We stayed in Stanley due to the proximity to the Beamish open air museum just a short drive away. The bluebell inn, just a short walk from the Ball Alley, is a restruant within a pub, not a pub serving food. The food had a turkish theme and was wonderful. I will return if in the area again.
