Dine alfresco and raise a toast to your getaway, with the trickling river as the soundtrack to your evening. When the sun sets, venture back inside and to the first floor, where you can freshen up in the family bathroom before choosing between two double bedrooms or a single room to catch up on sleep. In the morning, take a short walk into the centre of town to stock up on essentials and discover a host of pubs and restaurants, like The Artisan Corner & Bistro and The Threehorse Shoes. 18 Thorngate Wynd is also perfectly placed to enjoy walks along the River Tees and throughout the countryside. Head to High Force Waterfall, a true sight to behold, or venture south into the heart of the Yorkshire Dales to uncover Aysgarth Falls. Here, you can also enjoy a day of family fun at The Forbidden Corner! History lovers can admire the ruins of Barnard Castle, tour The Bowes Museum, and visit the beautiful ruins of Egglestone Abbey. The 14th-century Raby Castle is also within reach, as is Bowes Castle. You could also venture further afield into the thriving city of Durham to discover the breathtaking Durham Cathedral and Durham Castle, which boasts views over the River Wear. If you'd rather explore the coast, there are a variety of beautiful beaches to choose from. Spend the day on the golden shores of Seaton Beach in Hartlepool, Redcar Beach, or Marske-by-the-Sea Beach; all wonderful places to let your dog run free. You could also spend the day on the rocky shores of Seaham Beach, hunting for the sea glass that this stretch of coast is best known for. Make unforgettable memories at 18 Thorngate Wynd!
The market town of Barnard Castle is situated in the unspoilt countryside of Teesdale in County Durham. It stands on the site of an ancient Roman fort which crosses the river. The medieval ruins of the castle still tower over the river and are well worth a visit. Known affectionately as 'Barney’ by residents and visitors alike, the town boasts cobble streets, yards and back lanes, which were first laid out in the 12th century. The nearby Bowes Museum is well worth a visit and a wonderful way to spend a day wandering around this beautiful building and experiencing the fascinating exhibitions. Beautiful walking country is right on the doorstep of this lovely market town, with woodland walks and cycle routes and the Lake District, the Pennine and Teesdale Ways, and the River Tees and magnificent waterfalls at High Force are all within easy reach.
