The area

Cinnamon 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 short stroll away and it is a lovely place to picnic after you’ve viewed the art collection.

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.

“I loved our stay at Cinnamon Cottage. So close to Barnard Castle, with great shops and plenty of food options on our doorstep. Blown away by County Durham, the friendly people, beautiful countryside. It was like going back in time to England 30 years ago. The cottage was clean, homely and well equipped with everything we needed. A week spent recharging with some quality down time ❤️❤️❤️”

“The cottage is excellent and well worth the money, 100% I will book again, the sofa and the fridge hadn’t been cleaned properly but I always take a throw and took me 15minutes to clean the fridge and all good.”
