About this property

The Bothy-Detached cottage,1 mile from Barnard Castle, Pet Friendly, EV Charger

  • The Bothy, an extremely well appointed self catering holiday home, is located in Marwood, which is a small cluster of listed farm cottages and barns approximately one mile from the historic town of Barnard Castle in County Durham and at the eastern end of Teesdale.

    Originally built in 1810 the Bothy was converted to a small but comfortable detached cottage for up to four people. The cottage has off road parking for one or two cars, use of the large garden and one well behaved dog welcome by arrangement ( please mention in enquiry).

    The accommodation is based around an upstairs open plan lounge and kitchen, with internal exposed stone wall and open rafters. The two bedrooms, one double and one twin are located downstairs along with a high quality bathroom.

    The cottage is well insulated with modern rapidly controlled electric heating and electricity is included in the price. All bed linen and towels are provided.

    WiFi is available upstairs and in the double bedroom. Mobile phone coverage is generally good and there is a TV/DVD player.

    Guests are very welcome to use the garden which is mainly a large lawned area with a small pond.

    Access to a EV charger, shared with the owners property is available for a small charge.

It was a last minute plan to visit the Barnard Castle area for the weekend and we were pleased to find the Bothy available. The location is ideal being just outside Barnard Castle and it was easy to find using the directions provided by the host. It is a lovely rural location with views of farmland so it was nice and quiet. The Bothy was very clean and welcoming with personal touches like a welcome pack (I love the ginger biscuits!) and blankets if it gets chilly in the evenings. Having said that we didn't need them as the owner had set the heating and we didn't need to touch it. I think this is the first time staying in a house with the living room upstairs and we really liked it having the views of the farmland etc. The Bothy is adjacent to the owners property so it was nice knowing they were on hand if we had any problems. Having said that we didn't see anyone during our brief stay as we were out most of the time. The shared outside space at the Bothy is well cared for and very inviting to sit out or exercise dogs etc. It has been some years since we last visited this area and our weekend stay reminded us how much we love it. We would certainly recommend the Bothy to anyone planning to visit this area.

Lovely Cottage in Barnard Castle

The property was very clean and comfortable. Nicely decorated and bright. The beds were lovely and comfortable and the area very peaceful and quiet. Lovely garden to enjoy too. Just a few minutes by car into Barnard Castle - Barnard Castle was such a pleasant surprise. Fab meal in the Three Horseshoes. We loved the area with the river to walk alongside and the impressive attractions in the area - like High Force, Bowes Museum (wow!) and Beamish. We will visit again.

Short Barnard Castle break

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely, tastefully decorated cottage. We had a few queries before our stay which were answered efficiently both by email and phone. The location was superb as only a short drive to Barnard Castle. Would highly recommend this property for a truly comfortable stay. Our only minor criticism was the post code for the property obviously covered a wide area and we ended up having to call the host for directions. More information as to how to find the property would have been useful to have with the booking confirmation. Overall it was great. We had a lovely stay.

lovely time at The Bothy

The property was in a very peaceful location,just right for a relaxing break,it is an upside down cottage and this adds to it's charm,it has lovely beams and exposed brick on some walls,the upstairs is open plan with the space very well utilised,the bedrooms are a good size with very comfortable beds.The shower is lovely and warm. The owner had left plenty of leaflets of things to do in and around the area which is very helpful,there was also a complementary bottle of Presecco and some cake which we thought was a nice touch.There was also a selection of DVDs and games to choose from if you wanted to stay in and relax. All in all a lovely cottage with some nice added touches to make your stay more pleasant.We would recomend The Bothy as a great place to stay and we would also go back again.Lastly it is very reasonably priced too.it doesn't break the budget

Cottage was lovely, clean and had everything we needed, the only thing we found was the double bed was too small for us, didnt have a great sleep, so moved into the other room the 2nd night. Location was good, 20 mins walk to nearest pub.

Words can't express how we enjoyed our stay in this property, the views were really good even though it was farmland. The property it's self was very clean and organised. I would certainly book this accommodation again.

This review is simple: If I could give this experience a rating of 6 stars, I would. We have stayed in two other rentals on this trip, and both were great. This experience was superior. The appointments, the host, the cool towns were all outstanding.

Wonderful base to explore the area from

A lovely little place with a good-sized, well fenced in garden your dog can use. A mile or so outside Barnard Castle itself, with a convenient footpath walk in and ready access to the rest of the area.
