The Flat, Barnard Castle

Despite many brilliant stays in cottages / self catering properties this is the first time I have felt the need to post. The flat is situated in an ideal location for lovers of life in a country town - very close to the historic Butter Market. The owners have provided a holiday home from home which provides all the modern conveniences without losing the Georgian character of the building. The place is spacious with a luxurious feel. The kitchen has a dishwasher and is particularly well equipped. Before the holiday options were given so that the welcome pack provided was tailored to suit individual likes. The flat wonderfully decorated for Christmas as was Barnard Castle. The town is a gem and if you like the outdoors, art or history there is alot to do locally. We will definately return.

Lovely flat in old charming building. Cosy livingroom, lovely kitchen, very nice bathrooms and 2 bedrooms with very comfortable beds. Everything was perfect, and we will definately stay here again!

Can't fault a thing about this lovely two bedroomed flat. One twin room with en suite and one double with separate shower room. Gorgeous well laid out rooms, smart kitchen and huge lounge room with full dining table. Lots of great touches like DVDs and games supplied. Superb location with the car park just behind and the high street on the doorstep so everything within very easy walking distance. Would definitely recommend it and stay here again.

What a beautiful flat its the extra touches that make it special and so clean l thought we were the first in.

The location was fantastic for our needs and the whole apartment exceeded our expectations.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Flat. The décor and cleanliness far exceeded our expectations. It was great to come back after a day out and know you could relax in comfort.

The property was beautifully presented and very comfortable. It was well situated for local amenities and within walking distance. Would definitely use The Flat again. Thank you.

The accommodation was very good and very well equipped, and in a central location for the town and it's attractions.

The flat is very comfortable and central for the town. Although it is an old building the décor is modern and in excellent condition. The parking arrangements were good and on arrival and departure we were able to park on the cobbled area at the front which made it easy to unload and load the vehicle. During other times we were always able to get a place on the park at the rear. The town itself is well blessed with eating places to differing standards and we were not disappointed in any. We thought Valentines was excellent. In all a good holiday.

We were pleased with the cleanliness of the flat.It was close to the shops.The owner was very helpful with any things that we needed and the added bonus of letting us know about things of interest in the surrounding area.

The location was excellent, the area was great and everything was handy. The Flat was first class, everything was positive.

My husband and myself booked this flat for a week in March and I have to say it's an absolutely stunning property. Brilliant position in the centre of town but nice and quiet as well. The welcome pack was much appreciated and I don't think there could have been any way to improve our stay, the owner has thought of everything to make a perfect break and we hope to visit again sometime.

A perfect apartment in a great location. There was everything you could need or want.

We really enjoyed our time in Barnard Castle. The flat was in an excellent location for us. We had everything we needed in the flat, good communication about how to get there etc, and the facilities were excellent also. Thanks for creating such a lovely place to holiday.

The Flat was well deserving of its five star rating. It was clean, modern, contemporary and the owner had thought of everything. I would have no hesitation in visiting the area again and staying in the same property.

It was beautifully refurbished to a very high standard - a perfect little spot to escape and explore the area.

So glad I stumbled upon this lovely place when looking for a last minute break. From the generous welcome hamper to the free wifi and well-equipped kitchen, this is the perfect place for a relaxing break. Beautifully refurbished and absolutely spotless, I really can't fault it. It's a carefully considered mix of original features and modern living that really works. Being above a shop on the main street in the town, you're right next to all the amenities, including shops and eateries (and, of course, the castle). Absolutely brilliant and highly recommended. We're sure to be back.
