Guests say
Guests have consistently praised Old Bank House for its beautiful decor, spaciousness, and prime location in the heart of Barnard Castle. The property is celebrated for its cleanliness, comfortable beds, and the warm welcome provided by the owner, Sarah. While there is a mention of a lack of a washing machine and an issue with heating and hot water, these are minor compared to the overwhelmingly positive feedback.
Reviewers frequently mention the property's cleanliness, describing it as 'lovely and clean' and 'extremely clean', indicating a high standard maintained throughout.
The location is highly praised for being 'right in the centre of town', 'in the heart of Barnard Castle', and close to local amenities, suggesting an ideal and convenient setting.
Comfort is a standout feature, with multiple reviews highlighting 'the most comfortable beds' and the property being 'very comfortable', suggesting a very high level of guest satisfaction in this area.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with positive comments about the property's furnishings. However, the absence of a washing machine and a single report of no hot water suggest room for improvement.
While guests have mentioned a 'welcome pack' and the property being 'dressed up for Christmas', there are not enough details to assess the consistency of such thoughtful gestures, and they should not be expected with every stay.

Fabulous house in the centre of Barnard Castle. Design and style was just beautiful. The house was all dressed up for Christmas too which was lovely. The house is so spacious with the most comfortable beds .. we really loved our stay and will definitely be back soon. Sarah was so helpful and at hand if we needed anything. And gave great recommendations of where to eat and visit locally.
