Housed in a historic building, Homelands Guest House offers accommodation with a garden and free WiFi in Barnard Castle, less than 1 km from Bowes Museum. The property has quiet street views and is 11 km from Raby Castle and 24 km from Richmond Castle. The accommodation features luggage storage space and bicycle parking for guests.

I loved the style of the decorations. Even though I only stayed for 2 nights I enjoyed my stay at Homelands. Because my flight got delayed, I couldn't arrive at the check-in hour. The owners were so kind and gave me and upgrade for a room I could easily acces when coming late. Also the food at breakfast was delicious and you could order in advance what you want so you wouldn't have to wait for it in the morning.

Really great place to stay, gorgeous local area. The room I had in the courtyard was exceptional, cosy but enough space. Decent comfy bed, powerful shower and so quiet you cannot hear any other guests. The breakfast was delicious and I also had an evening meal there too which was superb. There were a few of us staying with our dogs and they made us feel very welcome. Would definitely book again!

    Superb B&B just outside Barnard Castle in the quiet of the countryside. We booked to stay as we had tickets to see a show at the Whitham in Barnard Castle and it was a really easy commute back and forth from the show. Karen the host was lovely and the room was spotless with fantastic views of the farm and the countryside. The fresh scone on arrival was beautiful as was the fresh fruit and cooked breakfast the next morning. The bed was comfortable and the room had a lovely cosy feel.

    Delightful and very welcoming host. Location very quiet with wonderful views. The real bonus was a flannel with the towels.....very unusual to include in either a hotel or a bed and breakfast.

    Brenda & Daniele are great hosts, very friendly & attentive. The house is very nice, in a great location for exploring Barnard Castle, they welcome dogs (our whippet George had a lovely time). We'd recommend booking at least one Tuscan meal during your stay, it's a real taste of Tuscany. We'll definitely be back.

    Guest house situated in ideal location for town centre only few minutes away. The hosts Christine and James are very helpful and go out of their way to make sure that you have a pleasant stay. An excellent breakfast particularly liked the fresh fruit salad.
