Pasture Barn

Barnard Castle and the Durham Dales are on your doorstep from Pasture Barn, a stone-built conversion that works as a base for exploring the area or simply unwinding. The Bowes Museum is a short drive away, and villages like Staindrop, Middleton-in-Teesdale and Eggleston—all with pubs, cafes and independent shops—are nearby for a gentle afternoon out.

The accommodation sleeps four across two king-size bedrooms, each with its own shower room. Downstairs, an open-plan living space combines a kitchen (with electric oven, gas hob, microwave and air fryer) with a seating area warmed by an electric woodburner and served by a smart TV. French doors lead to a private patio where a six-person hot tub sits ready for use. The back garden has seating, furniture and a barbecue. Parking for three cars is on site. Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are included; a welcome pack, travel cot and highchair are provided. The property is non-smoking.

The countryside around here suits walkers and anyone after a rural escape within reach of market-town amenities. One well-behaved pet stays free.
