Guest Access:
You will have the entire apartment to yourself. Entry is via the original chapel doors into a shared hallway, with the apartment located on the ground floor for easy access.
Self check-in with keyless entry means you can arrive on your schedule, and we are always available should you need anything during your stay. Free on-street parking is available nearby, along with paid car parks just a short walk away.

The Neighborhood:
Located in the centre of Barnard Castle, the apartment is just steps from artisan coffee shops, independent boutiques, and traditional pubs. You’re also within walking distance of the famous Bowes Museum, the castle ruins, and scenic riverside walks.
This charming market town is known for its character, culture, and strong sense of community—the perfect mix of town energy and countryside calm.

Getting Around:
Most guests explore Barnard Castle on foot, as everything in town is easily walkable. For day trips, we recommend driving to nearby beauty spots such as High Force waterfall, Middleton-in-Teesdale, or Raby Castle.
While there is some public transport, it is limited—so having a car is recommended if you plan to explore deeper into the Durham Dales or surrounding Yorkshire countryside
