Plenty of shops, coffee bars, pubs .lots of history old buildings with interesting blue plaques.
Steep in parts so I think it’s better for people who like to walk.
Favourite pub was the Blue Bell very friendly and how a pub use to be.
Lots of antiques shops to browse around.
Nothing to avoid all good.

First I met lovely people at the Book Aid shop that drew me in on the way to the castle. A woman there informed of the existence of some little known or advertised places of historical interest. The well known points of interest, the castle, the Bowes Museum, and the Butter Market—wryly referred to by local people as “the round thingy” in the middle of the high street—lived up to expectations. The charity thrift shops and the Witham, a cultural center cum shop on the High Street offered wonderful shopping. People working at the castle, the Bowes museum, and the food co-op were wonderfully helpful, The food and service at Blagraves in a remarkable building, parts of which date from the 15th century, were excellent.
The town is easy to get around. Almost everything to be seen and done is on three contiguous streets, Galgate, the High Street, and the road leading from the Butter Market, about a five-minute walk, to the Bowes Museum (I didn’t get its name). There’s a sign for the castle ruins hidden and sloping downhill behind the Methodist church at the corner of Galgate and High Street.
I was only disappointed to not be able to see the prayer labyrinth in the floor of St.Mary’s Anglican Church at the corner of High Street and the road to the museum. It was covered with chairs occupied by worshippers for a special service with performance by a huge childrens’ choir at the moment I looked in on a Friday afternoon and the seating was being kept in place for several services over that weekend of the third Sunday of Advent. It was a consolation to see such signs of spiritual life in that church, and, God willing, I’ll get to see the labyrinth at a quieter time.

Lovely small town with lots to see and do in surrounding area
Pubs are good and a great choice for eating from breakfast to evening meal
Hecklers cottage was lovely where we stayed but house keeping appalling good job plenty places to eat out
Such a shame !!
We would love to stay again
The Owners Roy & Rima are such an amazing couple, they really made us feel special even though we were only booked for 1 night. The bedroom (en suite) was enormous, very quaint as you would expect from a 12th Century building (the beer garden wall is part of the old Castle!) but with all the modern amenities we needed! The food is outstanding & the beer & ale choices are plentiful. Wish we could have stayed another night or 2, there's a lot to do & see in this area. We will definitely be back but for longer next time!
Everything perfect. Room and guesthouse spotless and in excellent condition. Even though I had a small single my private bathroom nearby was large and excellent. Bed comfortable. Location perfect, enough out of centre for free roadside parking but few minutes walk away from everything. Breakfast excellent. I had Eggs Benedict and it was the nicest I have had and I have had many. And view from breakfast room onto a beautiful garden. Host very helpful and friendly.
Really great place to stay, gorgeous local area. The room I had in the courtyard was exceptional, cosy but enough space. Decent comfy bed, powerful shower and so quiet you cannot hear any other guests. The breakfast was delicious and I also had an evening meal there too which was superb. There were a few of us staying with our dogs and they made us feel very welcome. Would definitely book again!
the location was excellent right in the centre of town amid all the shops and bars with easy access to the castle and river The property was well equipped clean and comfortable. The host communicated well and left some breakfast staples which were very welcome Very enjoyable stay.
We loved our stay here! the cottage was spotlessly clean and so comfortable with the BEST shower! There was a generous welcome hamper which made our stay extra special. There is lots to do in the local area and the host was really friendly and welcoming.
Food in restaurant was good, some staff very friendly. Some not as. Nobody was rude just not as friendly as I would like.
Location great. Great walks straight out of the hotel. Inside communal areas really nice. Charming. Bar area good.
The room was homely and comfortable with slate tiled floor, good decoration and an amazing sparkly large shower. It was so quiet you could hear an owl hooting during the night. A short ten minute drive to Barnard Castle.
Situated at Brignell a short country drive from Barnard Castle, through pasture Yorkshire.
Lily Hill Farm is set in green pasture lands, sheep grazing but just a few minutes drive to town and the fabulous Bowes Museum.
Perfect location for exploring Barnard Castle. Room was very spacious and the host was lovely and welcoming and attended to our every need. Breakfast was superb. Highly recommend this accommodation.
Good location for getting into Barnard Castle but situated in a quiet rural location Lovely bedroom with fantastic rural views very pleasant owners would definitely stay again when in the area .
the staff make the property friendly welcoming go the extra mile to ensure your stay is pleasurable in addition the location to visit near by town Barnard Castle was ideal !!
Superb hotel for exploring Barnard Castle and the Dales. No on site car parking, but plenty of free on-street parking. Excellent food portions and a very friendly staff.
Stayed in the stables which is separate from hotel, lovely room, friendly staff, & food excellent.
Will hopefully visit Barnard Castle, & The Three Horse Shoes again.
