This charming cottage boasts a splendid location in the market town of Barnard Castle. There are antique shops, restaurants, bars, and cafes nearby, as well as the 12th-century castle and the ruins of Egglestone Abbey. When you’re not out exploring, you’ll be glad to have such a cosy home-from-home. The living room has a log burner, perfect for curling up on stormy nights, and there’s a freestanding bathtub upstairs, too – what a great way to relax.
