Cottage vacation rentals in Barnard Castle

Comfortable home in beautiful surroundings. Really responsive and friendly host. En-suite bathrooms to each bedroom and the beds were super comfy. Great parking and charger for electric car - lovely walks nearby along the river and the horse in the field behind had just given birth to a foal so our daughter was mesmerised. Oh I forgot the hot tub - that was great too!

Really cosy place, awesome decor and a huge bed. Would love to visit in winter to make use of the fireplaces (the weather was too good this weekend!) Hot tub was great and pizza oven fantastic. Thanks for having us!

What a wonderful place for a peaceful break away. The house was so comfortable with all the amenities needed. The hot tub was a lovely addition too! My son, who loves wildlife photography, absolutely adored the river. He spent every possible moment down there photographing Kingfishers! I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves birds and wildlife.

The cottage was lovely and had everything we needed. The location was lovely and peaceful and the hosts were really helpful and friendly.

Beautiful home, very spacious and plenty of amenities. felt right at home! perfect for toddlers too. Ian was great, very helpful and easily contactable.

Our second time at the gorgeous Preston Mill Loft and it was just as wonderful as we remember. Super dog friendly, the upgraded hot tub is IMMENSE, comfy bed, welcoming hosts, beautiful scenery, well stocked kitchen. The lot. Cannot recommend highly enough!

We had a lovely relaxing weekend at this property. The local surroundings are beautiful and the house was clean and very well equipped. The hot tub was a nice addition and communication with our host was excellent from start to finish. I would happily recommend a stay here :)

Beautifully furnished barn. Smelt amazing. Easy check in. Peaceful surroundings.

What an absolute gem we found in Apple House. The pictures really don't do the whole place justice! A cosy, romantic house set in beautiful, serene surroundings. It really was the perfect location for our mini moon! Was lovely to be greeted by the chickens and Russel the dog each morning <3 We were treated to some tasty welcome gifts and the place was spotless, very comfy bed and just the most charming decor. Thank you so much Emma and Craig! We will definitely be returning with more of our family!

What a find Burneside cottage was. It was immaculately clean and had everything you could possibly want and more. Felt right at home from the minute we arrived. Comfortable lounge with log burner which came in handy with the cooler weather although the heating was sufficient it gave that bit extra. Gayle is a great place to base yourself to explore the Dales and surrounding areas. Absolutely beautiful. It was a short walk into Hawes of around 10mins or so where there are a couple grocery stores selling most things. We found The Wensleydale Pantry great value and the home cooked food and extensive menu was superb. The Wensleydale creamery is about a 5min walk and the cheese making experience is worth going to. All in all a brilliant cottage to stay in and I would recommend it to anyone. Thanks for everything Alyson including the great scones, jam, bread and milk on arrival. Andy & Jackie. Andy

Wow! What a fantastic place to stay. The cottage was a perfect haven for a relaxing holiday. The scenery was breathtaking, and we spent much of the time gazing out of the window at the dramatic weather and wildlife. We wished we could have stayed longer! And will recommend it to all our friends. Many thanks Sally, Kevin and Pippa 🐾

Wonderful place, as Bev says - the place gives you a warm hug. Relaxing, quiet, and perfect rest for us and our anxious rescue dog! Lovely being near the river, lots of birds and wildlife nearby. Felt right at home and hope to return again soon!

Great little annex, spacious and clean with great amenities. Was greeted with fresh bread and brownies, butter and eggs. The bread and brownies were delicious. Amazing views and so quiet. Enjoyed seeing the birds feeding off the feeder, especially the woodpecker. Lovely wood burner. A good base for either walks around the area or to see the Roman ruins or for attractions further afield in Northumberland.

We had a fantastic week in the Lakes staying at the bothy. John and Julia are warm, friendly and thoughtful hosts and the space was perfect (and more spacious than the photos suggest). The bothy was well appointed with everything we needed and the beautiful cottage garden was an added bonus - secure for our dog and a peaceful haven to enjoy the morning/evening sunshine. Highly recommend

Our stay at Maple Cottage was fantastic! Gladys was so lovely and helpful, and gave us some great recommendations of nearby places to visit. The location was great - stunning views, waterfalls within 5 minutes and 20 minutes drive, a lovely town 10 minutes drive down the road, and some great walking routes nearby! The house itself was lovely, cosy and we felt right at home. The log burner was great and very cosy, everything you could need was in the kitchen, including milk, cooking oil, tea, coffee and biscuits etc that were left by the host for us to use! Lots of pots and pans and utensils for cooking which was amazing. The beds were extremely comfortable and everything was very clean. Finding the cottage was easy and there was more than enough parking. The views were just incredible from here, and the sunset was even better! 10/10, the perfect get away from our 4 year anniversary, and we would love to return!

Spent 2 nights in this beautiful spacious cottage, on our way home from Scotland. Good quality furniture and lovely decor. The garden was great for our dogs. Pretty surroundings and so many local walks! Very well equipped and we appreciated the welcome pack. Thank you

We absolutely loved The Hideaway and wished we'd been able to stay for more than one night. Louise was so friendly and helpful, and although we didn't get to meet, we had everything we wanted and quick help when we messaged her with questions about where to eat etc. The Hideaway is immaculately clean and so stylish. The bed was super comfy and the shower fantastic. The kitchen was spotless and well stocked with utensils and crockery and Louise had kindly left us fresh eggs (from her gorgeous free ranging chickens, who came to say hello as we arrived), fresh milk and bread and a bakery treat each. It's a light, bright and welcoming apartment with beautiful views over Nidderdale. We had complete privacy and even a little garden space with picnic table and fabulous view. We were delighted to wake to the gentle calls of the curlews in nearby fields and we felt truly 'on holiday'. The sad part was leaving .. we really hope to be back soon and to explore this amazing part of Yorkshire

Lovely cottage, lots of nice touches. Can't fault Alison's communication - always available. Cooked breakfast was mindblowing, so make sure you book that, at least once... Just don't expect to eat lunch that day! We also had the Indian meal, which was also great. Her mixed berry jam is lovely. Animals/meadow and space for the dog etc were perfect for what we needed. Very private and peaceful. We had steak at the Millbank Arms one night and also had sausage rolls/cornish pasties etc from Coughlans - both worth doing/visiting. Finally the Mainsgill Farm shop is great for a look around - highly recommend the sausages etc! Thanks again for your hospitality.

We had a great stay in Hawes, the house had everything we needed. Hawes and surrounding areas are beautiful. Diane left some suggestions of things to do and we did the waterfall in Hardraw, and the highest inn in England, both fantastic.

Wonderful remote cottage, fully equipped with everything you would want for a stress free stay. The cottage is better than the photos show, with two snug rooms and wonderful kitchen dining area. Set in a beautiful location next to a river and with walks straight from the door.

All you could want from a one bed b & b. Big comfy bed, big comfy lounge, kitchen superbly equipped and a bathroom with bath AND separate walk-in shower. All this and Heather lives next door if you need her. As for location, three local pubs, all good and a great location for exploring the northern lakes. Thanks Heather

A beautiful cottage, which is even better than the photos show. Everything you need, clean, a lovely outdoor space and comfy beds. Children’s toys, gorgeous bath and welcome wine/crisps were an added bonus. Sue was very welcoming and no problems at check in etc. We will be returning! Thank you.

Beautiful cottage in peaceful location on the edge of the river. Easy walking access to Barnard Castle - to save parking hassles. Very comfortable, with everything we needed provided for our stay - plus a welcoming bottle of wine!

We had a fabulous long weekend at River Run Cottage. We loved the view of the river and bird watching from the conservatory. The whole place was comfortable and really well equipped, there was nothing we wanted that we couldn’t find, they’d thought of everything. We enjoyed trips to recently newly developed Raby Castle, Low Force and High Force and thoroughly enjoyed the stunning scenery all around, wonderful to explore an area that we didn’t know at all. We were blessed with hot and sunny weather, this meant we need to manage the heat inside the house and may be a good tip for others. We closed the door between the conservatory and the house and drew all of the curtains during the day on this south facing property. When we returned after our day out the house was lovely and cool. We’d definitely recommend River Run cottage, it’s a fabulous place to stay.
