    The keys were a bit difficult to find. At the back door but around the side of the wall

    Location and parking were great, we were able to get around Barnard Castle easily on foot and by car. Great place to stay and would love to visit again. I definitely recommend Wood Street for a visit to County Durham.

    This accommodation was really nice and comfy. Really liked this property. This is a property that you don't meet the people renting. Collect the key from a safe box. Not a problem for me.
  • Amanda
    United Kingdom United Kingdom
    A really nice cottage, located in the heart of town and yet it was so quiet. Great location to visit the Bowes Museum, Castle and shops. It was perfect for our weekend stay to visit relatives.

Neighbourhood information

Wood Street Cottage is located right in the centre of Barnard Castle, halfway between the 12th century castle itself and the Bowes Museum. Both are only a 5-minute walk away from the property. You can set off direct from the house to explore the historic yards around the town, follow the blue plaque trail, simply wander through Flatt’s Wood or do a circular walk alongside the River Tees to see the ruins of Egglestone Abbey. There is easy access to charming villages and country walks throughout the Upper Dale. This small market town is loaded with fascinating architecture, antique shops, as well as many small independent shops not seen on an average high street. Cafés and pubs serving home-made food and coffee shops abound, and some very good restaurants are in the vicinity. If you feel like being entertained whilst you’re here, check out The Witham to see which performances, films or exhibitions will be available when you visit.
