So quiet and peaceful, with a great pub over the road.

Superb B&B just outside Barnard Castle in the quiet of the countryside. We booked to stay as we had tickets to see a show at the Whitham in Barnard Castle and it was a really easy commute back and forth from the show. Karen the host was lovely and the room was spotless with fantastic views of the farm and the countryside. The fresh scone on arrival was beautiful as was the fresh fruit and cooked breakfast the next morning. The bed was comfortable and the room had a lovely cosy feel.

Lovely welcome Comfy Beds. Lots of space for clothing etc. Excellent shower & loads of hot water. Lovely calming décor. Location exceptional; 5 minutes from centre, but very quiet and peaceful!

Loved staying here, just perfect. We will be back soon. Value for money was great. Everything you could possibly need. Location 10/10. Neighbours and host were so lovely and helpful. So quiet and peaceful.

Beautiful property, the artictecture and how peacefully quiet it is . Me and boyfriend (both in early 20s) absolutely loved sleeping here! It is something completely different and we really enjoyed learning about the history of this place and of Durham city ! breakfast was scrumptious and beds were super duper comfortable. There was a pub just 10 mins away from this place and they made the most delicious food for us!

Luxurious, comfortable and quiet

Beautiful building with original features and stunning decor in keeping with this. Location perfect, only a few minutes walk from town but far enough to be peaceful and quiet. Very clean, comfortable, well facilitated bedrooms. Friendly, helpful staff. Lovely breakfast. A fabulous stay

We enjoyed our stay it was quiet and peaceful.The dinner we had was delicious and the service good.However the room seemed very small with an over large but beautiful bed. The mirror in the bathroom was too high. Not much space to move around. The cupboard door with coffee maker etc could benefit from opening the other way to give more light ..very dark in there

Very friendly and helpful couple ,very nice accommodation which is quiet and peaceful set in a countryside setting a 10 minute drive into Hartlepool also the excellent breakfast we chose the full english which does set you up nicely for the day if you want value for money then look no further than this spot for your stay if you are in this area..
