The Space: Wood Street Cottage is bright and comfortable. It’s the perfect place to unwind with your loved ones.

The Neighborhood: Wood Street Cottage is located in the historic market town of Barnard Castle. Featured within the Guardian’s ‘10 of the UK’s best small towns’, there is something for everyone here. If you love to shop, the town has many antique shops so treasure seekers will be in their element. There are still small independent stores which you wouldn’t see on the average high street. Take your pick of restaurants, cafes and pubs which serve lovely home-made food. If you fancy some live entertainment whilst you’re away, check out The Witham to see which performances, films or exhibitions will be available when you visit. Whilst there are lots of lovely walks to be done straight from the property, there is easy access to the 12th century castle with great views over the Tees Gorge. You can try to spot Richard III’s boar emblem carved above the window in the inner ward or explore the sensory garden. The ruins of Egglestone Abbey are also within walking distance. The Bowes Museum is just a 5-minute stroll away and it is a lovely place to picnic after you’ve viewed the art collection. If entertainment is your ‘thing’ check out thewitham.org.uk to see what performances or exhibitions will be showing when you visit. Watch out for the agricultural shows over the summer to get an insight into farming life in the North Pennines. The Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty holds events at the Bowlees Visitor Centre (13 miles) to provide insights into the flora and fauna of the upper dale including rare blue gentians at Cow Green. The Grassholme Observatory at Mickleton (7miles) is a good place to explore the dark skies. And the list goes on… Getting Around: The closest mainline train station is at Darlington, offering easy access to Durham, Newcastle, Saltburn and York. There are a number of bus routes throughout Barnard Castle. Hop on the Arriva X76 or X75 which travels to Darlington. The best way to visit the Upper Dale is by car, or bike if you are travelling with them. You can use the space in the back yard to lock your bikes up when not is use. Interaction with Guests: We’re always available for our guests so please don’t hesitate to get in touch. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36180000/36172600/36172593/c9732e41.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Bothy-Detached cottage,1 mile from Barnard Castle, Pet Friendly, EV Charger Barnard Castle - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space - Parking available 9.8 Exceptional 80 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-03&endDate=2025-11-04&selected=36172593&PinnedHotelID=36172593&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, oven, stovetop, toaster](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114150000/114149300/114149293/8ef84c76.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Host & Stay | Baliol Street Barnard Castle - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-03&endDate=2025-11-04&selected=114149293&PinnedHotelID=114149293&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/72000000/71620000/71617400/71617396/w1190h797x0y0-7afaa348.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Host & Stay | 82G Galgate Barnard Castle - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space - Parking available 7.6 Good 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-03&endDate=2025-11-04&selected=71617396&PinnedHotelID=71617396&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/72000000/71620000/71617400/71617393/82831c99.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Host & Stay | 82F Galgate Barnard Castle - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-03&endDate=2025-11-04&selected=71617393&PinnedHotelID=71617393&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89560000/89552900/89552876/713e5e39.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Host & Stay | Hecklers Cottage, Barnard Castle Barnard Castle - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-03&endDate=2025-11-04&selected=89552876&PinnedHotelID=89552876&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, offices](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118200000/118192200/118192149/2cac9d7d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stylish 2-Bedroom Chapel Apartment Retreat County Durham - Kitchen - Microwave 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-03&endDate=2025-11-04&selected=118192149&PinnedHotelID=118192149&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, offices](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118200000/118192200/118192187/a81c87ae.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bold 2-Bedroom Chapel Conversion Retreat County Durham - Kitchen - Washer - Microwave CA $422 CA $493 total includes taxes & fees Oct 24 - Oct 25 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-24&endDate=2025-10-25&selected=118192187&PinnedHotelID=118192187&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102630000/102626000/102625904/5afd505c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Host & Stay | Cinnamon Cottage Barnard Castle - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-03&endDate=2025-11-04&selected=102625904&PinnedHotelID=102625904&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104850000/104844300/104844257/c449faff.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 'Tilly Cottage' Homely 2 bedroom stone property, Co Durham.
