Stepping inside this lovely abode, make yourself at home with a sumptuous seat on the corner sofa as a family-favourite plays on the Smart TV, or peer through the quirky glass floor panel for a unique view into the properties original cellar. Tucked away against the rear wall of the sociable space rests a well-designed kitchen, home to a fantastic range of conveniences sure to entice any budding chef, with a handy dining table set paces away. At the end of an action-packed day, pour in the bubbles and indulge in a blissful soak in the stylish bathroom before retreating to one of two double bedrooms to catch your rest.

Get better acquainted with your surroundings with a scenic stroll through the grounds of Deepdale Nature Reserve or immerse yourself in the fascinating history of the town with a tour of the castle from which it takes its name. Spend lazy afternoons testing your swing at Barnard Castle Golf Club or stretch your legs with a wander alongside the glistening waters of the River Tees and join the trail of the Teesdale Way, boasting spectacular scenery in either direction. A trip to Barnard Castle wouldn't be complete without a visit to The Bowes Museum, home to the iconic Silver Swan, a jewel in Barnard Castles crown. The keen ramblers of the group can embark on a two-footed adventure through the North Pennines, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, taking you on a trek through sweeping moorland, rolling peaks and picture-perfect villages. Movie buffs will delight with a visit to the bustling city of Durham, where the remarkable architecture of Durham Cathedral formed as a magical backdrop behind the Harry Potter film franchise. An adventure awaits in County Durham.
