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.
