The flat is lovely, furnished to a high level and very comfortable.. We enjoyed the town and found the locals very friendly and helpful with lots of lovely antique shops, pubs and good places to eat - everything from excellent takeaways to fine dining. We particularly enjoyed visits to the Bowes Museum and Barnard Castle and found it a good starting place for lovely walks in the area and easy journeys for visits to other attractions in the area.
As late bookers and I think the first guests (?), there were some issues about owner contact/key details which were duly resolved - just in time! Meantime, a couple of practical issues:
- no bread/veg knives
- fridge socket didn't work (we just moved it)
- easy instructions for use of cooker might be helpful
