Ideal in Every Way
Avelin Cottage is located a couple of miles outside Barnard Castle. The cottage has been beautifully and thoughtfully furnished by Linda and Dave, who are the nicest hosts imaginable. Everything they do is focussed on ensuring the most comfortable and relaxing stay possible, including the provision of a luxurious infra red sauna and a hot tub. It is situated within easy range of many historical properties and beauty spots, including Barnard Castle itself. A delightful Georgian town with excellent central parking, interesting shops and a great street market, it is also the home to the unmissable Bowes Museum, originally a private collection of some 15,000 paintings, ceramics and furnishings, housed in a magnificent French-style château. Given that a car is essential for the area, we would unhesitatingly recommend Avelin Cottage as the perfect holiday cottage.

Wonderful Stay...!
The cottage was everything we expected and more. Cosy, comfortable, very well equipped, stunning landscape views and very, very relaxing. Perfect for a get-away-from-everything break. The highlight of our stay was definitely the hot tub, enjoying the views with a glass of bubbly - just perfect! Plenty of things to do nearby, we visited Raby Castle & High Force, Barnard Castle, and Rokeby Hall. Many thoughtful touches in the cottage such as homemade preserves for breakfast, along with bread, eggs, milk etc and a gorgeous bunch of sweet peas from the garden. We are already planning a return trip...!!

A gorgeous retreat
This cottage was beautiful, faultless in design and comfort. The owners, Linda and David, couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful during our stay. We relaxed in the large outdoor tub for 2/3 evenings (and star gazed!) and enjoyed the sauna experience too. What a treat - you must must must book here!
