Holiday rental: 2 bed Apartment in County-Durham Durham England, for rent short term

Cross Fell Cottage

Located close to the banks of the River Tees and just across the water from the eponymous medieval castle ruins, this charming two-bedroom terrace offers a wonderful family escape in the historic market town of Barnard Castle.

Its stylish interior is immediately welcoming and blends contemporary style with original period features to create a modern family home with soul. The dark blue walls and geometric patterned wallpaper in the living room create an exceptionally cosy atmosphere on chilly evenings, with the wood burner casting a warm glow over the space. The sophisticated decor continues in the two individually decorated bedrooms, with a muted grey palette in the main bedroom and bursts of zesty yellow in the twin room.

Exploring the town is easy enough on foot, with The Bowes Museum and the historic ruins of Barnard Castle within a relatively short walk, while the remains of Egglestone Abbey lie a little further downstream. Getting out and about in the nearby countryside is easy, with the spectacular High Force Waterfall approximately half an hour's drive away in the heart of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. While you're in the area, why not pay a visit to the famous Tan Hill Inn and sip a pint in the highest pub in Britain?
