Book a hotel near Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle

"Lovely independent hotel in the centre of Barnard Castle. Room was really warm, comfy and spacious, had everything we needed and spotless. Staff throughout our visit were fabulous - from reception to housekeeping to bar. Had plans with family who live nearby so didn’t get to try the restaurant but menu looked great and was busy all of the time. Excellent value for money."

"Lovely place to stay room was spacious bed was comfortable even if a little squeaky breakfast was huge and delicious bar meals were lovely and very reasonably priced the staff were all lovely highly recommended "

"Central location. Parking very handy nice outdoor area. We will be returning "

"The cottage was great, all you would need for a good relaxing holiday, we did have a problem with the boiler on arrival but that was quickly sorted out by the agency, in all the cottage was perfect for our needs, the only down side was the fact we had our car keyed outside the cottage, but I suppose that could happen anywhere!"

"An idyllic location and convenient for exploring the local area. Southview is comfortable and has everything you could need in a cottage, so well equipped, clean and tidy. The views from the rear of the cottage are stunning and we particularly enjoyed watching the entertaining sheep and chickens from the lounge. The Bowes museum is literally opposite the cottage and it is a short walk into Barnard Castle which has some lovely places to eat and drink. The owner, Chris, is on hand for any issues as he lives next door. Would definitely recommend for a chilled out and relaxing break."

"We were very pleased with the property but we had several concerns. The property description listed a dryer but there was none. If we’d known we’d have brought a clothes line and pegs. We’d advise future guests to bring some extra toilet paper (only one roll was provided). Also bring some extra dishwasher tablets (two were provided) but if you are staying for more than a few days you might need them. A dish scrubber would be handy since there were only J-clothes and a soft bristle brush. Be aware that the parking space is very tight. This can’t be helped due to the age of the area. Other than these issues we were very impressed with the property."
