Super hosts, very welcoming and helpful. Good food and quirky characterful establishment. Convenient for the town, easy walking distance. Parking can be a challenge near by. A little more detail cleaning the bathroom would be great. Enjoyed staying here.

Beautiful stay

From arrival to departure Glenda and Daniele were amazing hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. We were upgraded to room 3 which was beautiful and comfortable. Gorgeous views of the garden. Breakfast was delicious and we also had an evening meal, authentic Italian food. We had an amazing visit. Highly recommended

Great place to stay in Barnard Castle

Just an overnight stay, I wish it had been longer. Very comfortable room, lovely dinner (with homemade ice cream) and my favourite breakfast (scrambled egg & smoked salmon). Easy to park.

We arrived on a wet and windy teatime and were very warmly welcomed by the host. The property was very homely and cosy and the room was very nice, they had thought of everything including shower caps which I appreciated. There was even some rhubarb pie for us- a lovely touch. Breakfast was beautifully cooked and plentiful. If we come back to the area we will be sure to use again and thank you for the cake recipe which I cant wait to make
