    An easy stroll from the station, the Houndgate Townhouse is ideally located. The room was small but had everything I needed, was spotlessly clean and a bed I could have slept in for days. The breakfast was off the charts, so, so good. Would definitely come back and try dinner next time. Strongly recommend.

    Lovely cosy barn conversion which was spotlessly clean. The outside area was great with comfortable seating and the hot tub was excellent to relax in especially at night. The property is ideally suited for Barnard Castle. The hosts (Allison and Jamie) are really friendly and can't do enough to help. The welcome pack was a great addition including milk, cereals, jams and a bottle of Prosecco. We had a top experience and will be back.

    It's cheap and cheerful. Stayed here numerous times over 7 years and naturally looking a bit 'tired' (aren't we all‽) but basically a nice hotel in a super location. Spacious free car park. Good bus service into the town centre. Tea and coffee making facilities in room and kitchenette available if you bring your own food, although a very decent chain pub/ restaurant literally next door. As a budget hotel, I would recommend.

    Only stayed for one night, but an excellent night it was. The general feeling was quite welcoming. The room looked out onto the main road but was surprisingly quite and dark enough for sleep although I would have preferred darker. Very clean, very tidy complete with an on-suit shower/toilet which itself was spotless. The rooms are above a bar so early nighters may well have a little background noise to deal with but all in all highly recommended.
