The breakfast is quite stunning in lovely surroundings and is worth the price of the entire stay alone. Lovely staff and one of the best breakfasts i have ever had . The room was adequate light and airy. The staff were very pleasant and the house itself is beautiful and is a wedding venue i noted

The staff were excellent as they kept the hotel part of the building open for us during some renovations in the kitchen or bar area. This meant that we were unable to have breakfast there. However staff warned us about this and compensated us for this. The rooms we hired were spacious and clean with a good bathroom. They recommended a good Indian restaurant and ensured our arrival and departure was easy. We were unable to use the bar area or the outside beer garden but it seemed fine once work was completed. There was good information provided about a wide range of local attractions etc. Barnard Castle is a lovely town to visit. The location was easy to access in a quiet area just a short walk from the town centre. Car parking seemed plentiful.
Featuring a shared lounge and views of garden, Lily Hill Farm is a bed and breakfast situated in a historic building in Barnard Castle, 8.4 km from Bowes Museum.

Wonderful to see the sheep & cattle in the fields. A barn owl flying past the window, rabbits & partridge in the gardens and fields. Lovely fresh scones with jam left in the room for us as well as biscuits and chocolates, tea & coffee. Excellent choices at breakfast, cereals, fresh fruit, yogurts as well as numerous choices for cooked breakfast, full English, scrambled egg & salmon, omelette. Fresh toast, jam & marmalade. Nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend, Karen is a superb host.

It's a very quaint little town .
It's a very quaint little town . There are lovely walks by the river past the castle walls we managed to see a kingfisher which was a big bonus. The castle itself is well worth a visit and just up the road is the Bowes museum . Do go and visit that especially around 2.pm the staff let you see a beautiful model of a swan that still works and is over 250 years old, the restaurant there is very nice as well.
We will do our best to stop again next year on our way north .

Plenty of shops, coffee bars, pubs .lots of history old buildings with interesting blue plaques.
Steep in parts so I think it’s better for people who like to walk.
Favourite pub was the Blue Bell very friendly and how a pub use to be.
Lots of antiques shops to browse around.
Nothing to avoid all good.

First I met lovely people at the Book Aid shop that drew me in on the way to the castle. A woman there informed of the existence of some little known or advertised places of historical interest. The well known points of interest, the castle, the Bowes Museum, and the Butter Market—wryly referred to by local people as “the round thingy” in the middle of the high street—lived up to expectations. The charity thrift shops and the Witham, a cultural center cum shop on the High Street offered wonderful shopping. People working at the castle, the Bowes museum, and the food co-op were wonderfully helpful, The food and service at Blagraves in a remarkable building, parts of which date from the 15th century, were excellent.
The town is easy to get around. Almost everything to be seen and done is on three contiguous streets, Galgate, the High Street, and the road leading from the Butter Market, about a five-minute walk, to the Bowes Museum (I didn’t get its name). There’s a sign for the castle ruins hidden and sloping downhill behind the Methodist church at the corner of Galgate and High Street.
I was only disappointed to not be able to see the prayer labyrinth in the floor of St.Mary’s Anglican Church at the corner of High Street and the road to the museum. It was covered with chairs occupied by worshippers for a special service with performance by a huge childrens’ choir at the moment I looked in on a Friday afternoon and the seating was being kept in place for several services over that weekend of the third Sunday of Advent. It was a consolation to see such signs of spiritual life in that church, and, God willing, I’ll get to see the labyrinth at a quieter time.
The hosts (Glenda and Daniele) were wonderful and very kind. We had two rooms: two of us were in the garden room, which was absolutely wonderful. I stayed in the single person room (room 1) which was quite small, but equipped with every amenity and comfortable. Both rooms were on the garden and very quiet at night.
The breakfast was the best English breakfast I have ever had in many trips to the UK!
Parking on the street was free, and it is 10 minute walk to the town centre.
I enjoyed staying at Homelands while I was visiting Barnard Castle. The guesthouse is beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. My double en-suite room was exceptionally comfortable. The hosts were warm, welcoming and extremely helpful to get to know. Local, high quality ingredients were used in the excellent breakfast. Upon arrival, I was even greeted with homemade cake. All in all, my stay was excellent and I am looking forward to a return visit.
the location was excellent right in the centre of town amid all the shops and bars with easy access to the castle and river The property was well equipped clean and comfortable. The host communicated well and left some breakfast staples which were very welcome Very enjoyable stay.
Lovely apartment. Right in the center of Barnard castle. Very cozy. Lovely bathroom. Lovely touch from the proprietors on arrival. Milk bread biscuits and cereal. All your cleaning stuff if needed. Nothing wasn't thought off, we will definitely be back again
The place was beautiful, staff were so friendly We had food on the night time in The Smithy restaurant attached to the hotel. The food was tasty and well served. We opted for the traditional breakfast in the morning as part of our stay that was top quality
We loved our stay here! the cottage was spotlessly clean and so comfortable with the BEST shower! There was a generous welcome hamper which made our stay extra special. There is lots to do in the local area and the host was really friendly and welcoming.
Stunning, clean, well maintained property with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Tastefully decorated. It’s literally on the river with large windows with views of the river and Barnard Castle. Free on road parking in about 50 meters away.
Situated at Brignell a short country drive from Barnard Castle, through pasture Yorkshire.
Lily Hill Farm is set in green pasture lands, sheep grazing but just a few minutes drive to town and the fabulous Bowes Museum.
large room with a bath, wasnt short of anything. nice staff, and breakfast was very good, perfect poached eggs, and the chef made sure we had everything and more. bar areas, one quiet and dogs allowed.
Stylish, clean, bright flat in a very good location for exploring Barnard Castle. Very easy to check in. Good choice of places to eat nearby and clear helpful information about how to find them.
The location as excellent - we walked into the town for some lunch. The snow made travelling difficult and our car was stuck at the property in the snow on friday.
