We enjoyed our stay, lovely decor, nice fire and cosy cottage. The pillows and mattresses weren’t the best quality, there were some dirty crockery and glassware when we arrived and there was some ash in the fireplace. However the hosts responded quickly and have said they will rectify the problems!

A beautiful house on a terraced street in the centre of Barnard Castle. Nice and quiet. Close to pubs, Costa Coffee, fish and chip shops and Morrison’s was only a one minute walk away. The house was clean, warm and welcoming. Beds are cosy and spacious. Plenty of wood and coal supplied for the fire, also teabags, coffee, sugar and milk. Thank you Trevor for making the house spotless before our arrival. An additional lamp in the lounge may be a welcome addition. Everything else - perfect!

A lovely cottage, just around the corner from the centre of the town. Very well equipped, beautifully clean and very cosy. Two bathrooms was a bonus, as was the dishwasher! Thank you for a lovely stay!

A great place for our family break in Barnard Castle. Very convenient for the town and walks from the door. Parking was on the street but never a problem. We loved the wood burning stove in the lounge. Close to the Bowes museum and the waterfalls at Low and High Force.

We stayed here while attending a wedding at a nearby venue and couldn’t have asked for a better place. Check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free, which made everything so easy. The place was spotless and beautifully decorated—clearly a lot of thought has gone into making it feel homely. The hosts were very friendly and responsive when we raised an issue in the bathroom. The location in Barnard Castle was absolutely perfect. We’d happily recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

A lovely stay from start to finish. The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Great location, thoughtful touches, and a warm welcome made it feel like a home away from home. Would happily return.

This place was wonderful. The location was perfect. Two minute walk to grocery. Beautifully decorated and nice linens. Shower was great and giant soaking tub was fantastic. My only complaint was we messaged the host that we were arriving one hour earlier than planned and asked if it would be possible to check in early. I believe the response is AI generated. They said it would be Forty pounds more to check in an hour early. So we declined. The place was very nice and we would still stay there again.

We really liked Heckler's cottage. It felt rather swanky with it's modern Victorian esc decor. The living room was a comfortable place to socialise and the bathrooms were great to relax in the bath / shower in. Bedrooms were well decorated, furnished and bedding was clean and comfortable.

Heckler's Cottage is perfectly located in a quite road just 2-3 minutes walk from the centre of Barnard Castle. The decor is superb and everything has been well done. The host is incredibly responsive. Very much enjoyed our stay.

Lovely cottage, fabulous location for walking to all amenities and lovely walks from the doorstep. Only issue was the parking, we had to pay to park in the Morrison’s car park, however this is no fault of the owner and it was a busy bank holiday weekend. We would definitely return and recommend to friends.

A perfect place for us to stay whilst we attended a family wedding. The property was decorated to a high standard. It was clean, cosy and had all the amenities we needed. The location is fabulous and convenient for shopping and town. We will certainly return to explore the area more when we have more time!

When our Christmas plans fell through at the last minute, we needed somewhere to stay as a family. Hexkler’s Cottage was perfect. Spacious, cosy and just what we needed. This was our first visit to Barnard Castle - what a lovely town! Thank you for making our Christmas so wonderful

Lovely cottage in centre of Barnard Castle. Very close to local supermarket and within walking distance of local pubs. It was very clean and a lovely place to stay. Parking is limited on street but plenty of parking available within walking distance.

I’ll start of by saying the cottage is absolutely beautiful! Stunning location a short walk from Barnard castle, everything that you may need is already in the house. We really enjoyed our stay :)

Immaculately clean and beautifully furnished, our cottage was a delight. Just a couple of things to be aware of - some room doorways have a step, also there is a £60 cleaning charge and a £30 damage waiver so you need to add £90 to the first price you see, quite a lot if you are only staying a couple of nights.

This is a very special place to stay. The cottage is decorated beautifully and the town is so picturesque. Charlie is an excellent host and always quick to reply to messages and help if needed. We would definitely recommend the cottage and location. The photographs do not lie!

Avoid this cottage whilst building works are going on (which will be months). Totally ruined holiday. Absolutely no mention of this beforehand, we would have cancelled our trip had we known. Once paid full amount, key code was withheld until we paid more money for ‘insurance’, this detail was hidden in small print. Both bathrooms smelt of drains. Such a shame as it was a birthday celebration, one guest never stayed at all and one left early. Completely useless ‘customer service’.

me, my wife and daughter used Hecklers cottage as a base to explore the Northeast. barnard castle is a beautiful little town, plenty to see and do. Every room was well sized and the cottage well decorated. Had everything we needed and the coal fire added to it. The hosts communicated everything well and we're very helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to people and the only downside was we didn't stay longer! Thank you again for everything!

Overall the property is as described and perfect location for a break in Barnard Castle. However, we had to vacuum the floors in the kitchen and dining room on arrival, clean the dining table, and the master bed had animal hairs and marks on the bedding.

Lovely cottage, full of character and very tastefully refurbished to a high standard. Great location, only few minutes walk to Barnard Castle town centre. On street parking a bit hit and miss but Morrissons literally at back of property and parking there for through the day after 2pm. Just be aware the there are two steep steps into the bathroom which could be a problem for elderly or those with mobility problems as no handrail. Really enjoyed our stay and would certainly go back again.

I booked this for me and my children so we could visit High Force for my birthday and it housed us all perfect! The house was absolutely gorgeous, every room was gorgeous and even had a little garden to sit in with a glass of wine. My little boys wanted to stay longer as they loved the interior so much! The house was situated in the middle of town and close to Barnard castle so if you was wanting to visit there it’s a perfect location! High Force was 30 mins up the road and a lovely drive! Everything was fabulous and we will definitely be booking back in to visit again. Thank you!

Clean, comfortable and cosy - the cottage is a lovely place. It’s a short walk into town, castle, museum, shops and restaurants/pubs. Morrison’s supermarket is also around the corner to pick up bits and pieces which was handy!
