Great breakfast selection. Stayed in cottage, which was very spacious and well equipped but did have a few cobwebs. Loved the terraced garden at side of hotel, which had lovely views of the countryside

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 Hotel was easy to find and in an excellent location to visit Barnard Castle being only 10 minutes drive. EVERY member of staff was extremely helpful and friendly. It is a lovely historic building with some rooms showing signs of faded grandeur. However it was very comfortable and provided everything you could need for a short stay.
We stayed for 2 nights and ate in both the restaurant and in bar and the quality of food was excellent. We were a party of 3,all would highly recommend this Hotel and we shall certainly return.
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!
Superb B&B just outside Barnard Castle in the quiet of the countryside. We booked to stay as we had tickets to see a show at the Whitham in Barnard Castle and it was a really easy commute back and forth from the show. Karen the host was lovely and the room was spotless with fantastic views of the farm and the countryside. The fresh scone on arrival was beautiful as was the fresh fruit and cooked breakfast the next morning. The bed was comfortable and the room had a lovely cosy feel.
The cottage was spotless and tastefully decorated and furnished.and very comfortable. The owner greeted us and she was simply lovely, she made us feel very welcome. The cottage is in a beautiful, peaceful location, with walks from the front door, but also close to Bowes museum and Barnard Castle., There was lots of information on places to go. We loved it and we will definatly be returning Our stay was simply not long enough.
This pub/ hotel is much than it looks from the outside. The rooms are very well done and the daily servicing and attention to detail was above and beyond expectations for a short stay. The staff are excellent. The food in the restaurant was really good. You couldn’t want for more what private parking and an excellent town centre location it was perfect for our stay. I would stay there again. Thank you.
My wife and I very much enjoyed our three night stay at Newgate House, Barnard Castle. We both felt that the exceptional quality, homeliness feeling and lovely cooked breakfast certainly deserves the 10 out 10 score for the hard work and attention to detail given by our host Carole.
We very much look forward in returning again to this beautiful part of England
Thank you again, Bernhard & Marion
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.
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
