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.

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.

Can't wait to return

This is a gorgeous little property. We met Diane as we arrived, she was so lovely and accommodating (nice little touch was the biscuits and doggy treats. The bedrooms were warm and comfortable, the kitchen/living area was small but well equipped (no cooking on holiday!). We will certainly go back to The Bothy next time we are in the area.

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.
