Beautiful location next door to Bowes Castle and opposite the church. Very cosy and wonderful use of space. Everything you could need in the kitchen and a variety of hair stylers in the dresser. Very welcoming and very friendly neighbours.

The location was good, although being a pub it was of course a little noisy later in the evening but once that closed it was very quiet.

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.

Lovely small town with lots to see and do in surrounding area
Pubs are good and a great choice for eating from breakfast to evening meal
Hecklers cottage was lovely where we stayed but house keeping appalling good job plenty places to eat out
Such a shame !!
We would love to stay again
The Owners Roy & Rima are such an amazing couple, they really made us feel special even though we were only booked for 1 night. The bedroom (en suite) was enormous, very quaint as you would expect from a 12th Century building (the beer garden wall is part of the old Castle!) but with all the modern amenities we needed! The food is outstanding & the beer & ale choices are plentiful. Wish we could have stayed another night or 2, there's a lot to do & see in this area. We will definitely be back but for longer next time!
Everything perfect. Room and guesthouse spotless and in excellent condition. Even though I had a small single my private bathroom nearby was large and excellent. Bed comfortable. Location perfect, enough out of centre for free roadside parking but few minutes walk away from everything. Breakfast excellent. I had Eggs Benedict and it was the nicest I have had and I have had many. And view from breakfast room onto a beautiful garden. Host very helpful and friendly.
The location was ideal as it was in the centre of the town, with all of the facilities nearby, including the castle, which was our reason for visiting Barnard Castle. The restaurant/breakfast room was very clean and the staff were friendly and efficient. We enjoyed the breakfast but the black pudding was rather dry and the poached eggs whites were not fully cooked. The cleanliness of the hotel, overall was excellent.
It was the little extras that made our stay so enjoyable: the homemade scones and jam, the homemade biscuits and fresh ground coffee and chocolates! Plenty of farm animals and wild visitors, the ducks, the hare and many pheasants.
Situated in very quiet countryside just off A66 and Barnard Castle.
The staff were so welcoming, knowledgeable and accommodating. They were not yet open for meals for the season yet but were still able to serve us a drink when we arrived. After trekking all day, this was a great treat. The room was clean and comfortable. The town is small and cute.
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.
Even though the place is on the main thoroughfare, the room was quiet and clean with water and coffee making facilities, which was ideal after a walk around the market place. The bed was comfortable and the shower facility was perfect after a good wander around Barnard Castle.
Perfect location in the centre of Barnard Castle. All the equipment you could need for a self-catering getaway. Comfortable bed! Highly recommended. Plenty of nice places to eat within very easy walking distance, and close to the many attractions in the wider area.
Perfect location for exploring Barnard Castle. Room was very spacious and the host was lovely and welcoming and attended to our every need. Breakfast was superb. Highly recommend this accommodation.
Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choices. The room was clean. The dinner was nice. The surrounding is peaceful and beautiful. The garden is charming. Very close to Barnard Castle.
Great location and our very first farm house stay. It could not have been better. The peace and quiet but always near the animals. We worth getting off the regular track.
Superb hotel for exploring Barnard Castle and the Dales. No on site car parking, but plenty of free on-street parking. Excellent food portions and a very friendly staff.
Stayed in the stables which is separate from hotel, lovely room, friendly staff, & food excellent.
Will hopefully visit Barnard Castle, & The Three Horse Shoes again.
Fantastically appointed apartment, very comfortable and cleverly laid out. It is a great place to explore Barnard Castle and the surrounding area from.
