Very nice little place.If there waa downside, the car charger (great idea) needed yet another app which wouldn't work - not the fault of the property but something to be aware of (there are rapid chargers at Lidl 2miles away).

Lovely country walk by the river too.Thank you

Cottage was lovely, clean and had everything we needed, the only thing we found was the double bed was too small for us, didnt have a great sleep, so moved into the other room the 2nd night. Location was good, 20 mins walk to nearest pub.

Words can't express how we enjoyed our stay in this property, the views were really good even though it was farmland. The property it's self was very clean and organised. I would certainly book this accommodation again.

This review is simple: If I could give this experience a rating of 6 stars, I would. We have stayed in two other rentals on this trip, and both were great. This experience was superior. The appointments, the host, the cool towns were all outstanding.

Wonderful base to explore the area from

A lovely little place with a good-sized, well fenced in garden your dog can use. A mile or so outside Barnard Castle itself, with a convenient footpath walk in and ready access to the rest of the area.

Can't wait to return

This is a gorgeous little property. We met Diane as we arrived, she was so lovely and accommodating (nice little touch was the biscuits and doggy treats. The bedrooms were warm and comfortable, the kitchen/living area was small but well equipped (no cooking on holiday!). We will certainly go back to The Bothy next time we are in the area.
