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
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!
Carole made us so welcome and her attention to detail is flawless. Our room was beautiful and comfortable and our breakfast each morning was delicious.
Again, Carole was so attentive to our needs, whether it be activities to pursue or places to dine in Barnard Castle and beyond.
I have nothing but praise for Newgate House with a promise to return.
All out love.

Location to Barnard Castle excellent, as you can walk to pubs, shops, coffee bars etc. plenty of room in the accommodation. Well supplied with utensils crockery etc. Warm, parking and also free parking for 2nd cars close to the property.
Nearby pub Blue Bell lovely atmosphere, and how a pub should be.
The exterior and the main part of the hotel (the reception and dining area) are lovely and done out quite nicely. The breakfast was nice and the staff were helpful and attentive. For me the hotel was in a good location as I needed car parking too, but if you don't have a car it's a bit excluded.
The room was large and comfortable. The bed was excellent. The bathroom was excellent. We were made to feel welcome. The atmosphere was pleasant. It was very quiet and relaxed. The pub and food were are excellent. Very convenient to everything including a visit to Barnard Castle.
The bedroom was unusually spacious, with a very large, comfortable bed, good, large furniture, and a large full bathroom. The breakfast was exceptional with a friendly staff. The location was perfect for our needs in town. Will stay here again if in the region.
The place was beautiful, staff were so friendly We had food on the night time in The Smithy restaurant attached to the hotel. The food was tasty and well served. We opted for the traditional breakfast in the morning as part of our stay that was top quality
We loved our stay here! the cottage was spotlessly clean and so comfortable with the BEST shower! There was a generous welcome hamper which made our stay extra special. There is lots to do in the local area and the host was really friendly and welcoming.
Situated at Brignell a short country drive from Barnard Castle, through pasture Yorkshire.
Lily Hill Farm is set in green pasture lands, sheep grazing but just a few minutes drive to town and the fabulous Bowes Museum.
The flat is in a great location, in the heart of Barnard Castle. The flat was clean and comfortable. All equipment we needed for self-catering was provided. I would recommend a stay here.
Just a 10 minute walk from the heart of the historic Barnard Castle, the Red Well Inn offers excellent homemade food, comfortable bed and breakfast, and an enjoyable and relaxing stay.
