"We loved our stay at mallard Lodge and would definitely recommend. The weather was awful but expected in January but it didn't stop the kids fun. Lots of places to see. Great walks. Was wonderful to return to a warm, cosy lodge and a relaxing dip in the hot tub. Not fantastic TV reception or WiFi but we were there to escape all that. Anything we needed help with, selina was only a call away. We are looking forward to visiting again. X"

Top Barnard Castle Hotel Reviews

Delta Hotels Durham Royal County

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is very well located for visiting the old city centre on foot, and is a 20 minute walk from the train station. My room was large, clean and quiet. It had A/C (though I didn’t really need it) and a mini-fridge. I took the English breakfast option, which was a good choice as there are not many breakfast cafes nearby. My one quibble was with the bathroom, which had a shower in the tub with a glass door which leaked water on the floor. Hotel offered a late checkout option of 1 pm (vs 12 pm) for £10, which was worth it for me. Hotel has a large pay parking lot, useful for people travelling by car."

Langley Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A proper castle experience with wonderful staff who made it a perfect stay 😃"

Redworth Hall Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place, lovely setting. Stayed either side of the Great North Run. Staff were absolutely lovely, even got complimentary drinks when they found we'd just been running! :) Room very nice and spacious, comfy bed, only complaint would be that room was a tad warm for me, even with radiator off! Complientary entry to the health club as a hotel guest was a big reason we picked here, enabled a good soak and steam after running!"
