Lovely Cottage in Barnard Castle
The property was very clean and comfortable. Nicely decorated and bright. The beds were lovely and comfortable and the area very peaceful and quiet. Lovely garden to enjoy too. Just a few minutes by car into Barnard Castle - Barnard Castle was such a pleasant surprise. Fab meal in the Three Horseshoes. We loved the area with the river to walk alongside and the impressive attractions in the area - like High Force, Bowes Museum (wow!) and Beamish. We will visit again.

lovely time at The Bothy
The property was in a very peaceful location,just right for a relaxing break,it is an upside down cottage and this adds to it's charm,it has lovely beams and exposed brick on some walls,the upstairs is open plan with the space very well utilised,the bedrooms are a good size with very comfortable beds.The shower is lovely and warm. The owner had left plenty of leaflets of things to do in and around the area which is very helpful,there was also a complementary bottle of Presecco and some cake which we thought was a nice touch.There was also a selection of DVDs and games to choose from if you wanted to stay in and relax. All in all a lovely cottage with some nice added touches to make your stay more pleasant.We would recomend The Bothy as a great place to stay and we would also go back again.Lastly it is very reasonably priced too.it doesn't break the budget

Short Barnard Castle break
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely, tastefully decorated cottage. We had a few queries before our stay which were answered efficiently both by email and phone. The location was superb as only a short drive to Barnard Castle. Would highly recommend this property for a truly comfortable stay. Our only minor criticism was the post code for the property obviously covered a wide area and we ended up having to call the host for directions. More information as to how to find the property would have been useful to have with the booking confirmation. Overall it was great. We had a lovely stay.

The Bothy is a lovely compact conversion. It is well equipped and comfortable. The garden area was great. The weather was good so we were able to get the best of it . Our cockapoo had the time of his life in the garden . He was safe and secure. This is a great property in a beautiful area. We would definitely stay here again if visiting this area again.

Short break from work
Really enjoyed the location, accommodation and the hosts were very welcoming - they had a minature schauzer as well. Enjoyed the walks and the garden which is fully enclosed allowing our dog freedom to run around. Highly recommend you stay here especially if you want to relax and just enjoy nature and the countryside. After our stay we both felt refreshed and recharged.

Perfect getaway
This is a small and compact property but nothing was lacking to make it a very comfortable stay plus there is a very large and beautiful garden to use. Location was great for trips out locally and to the coast. Host was very helpful and friendly. Although garden was enclosed the fence was quite low for a jumpy Podenco who had never met a sheep before so we did keep her on a long lead but she still enjoyed herself. A great week blessed by Mediterranean weather!

Beautiful cottage with a wonderful host
A wonderful and really well equipped cottage which we loved staying at. A really nice base for exploring the Durham Dales and surrounding areas. The host Diane was very helpful and even loaned us a Roku stick to help with the TV as the local transmitter was faulty. The welcome pack was also a really nice touch!! We would highly recommend staying here!!

Lovely time had by all the family
We used the Bothy as a base to venture out into the Dales and it was great to return to at the end of the day; comfortable, welcoming and warm. The garden is suitably secure for dogs once the gate is shut. Lovely location, just remote enough from Barnard Castle to be convenient. A great relaxing base for a small family.
