Host & Stay - Wood Street Cottage

Although parking is provided, the lane is very tight and would not suit larger vehicles. We just got through. I liked the eco-friendly features, although these were slightly confusing where the guide book prides itself using who gives a crap but no other rolls provided. The owner was great in answering my query but I found Host and Stay's reply rude as I am very aware these places are self catering. I wanted to ensure I was following the ethos of the owner. The location was perfect.

The hosts were amazing.

Nothing - everything was really great. would 100% recommend.

Lovely cottage and a great location, really easy access to the town and the hospital where I was visiting a family member was 2 minutes car journey up the road. Would highly recommend.

The only down side was the cooking hob didn't work so had to eat out, however this was reported and should now be fixed.

This property is centrally located. It takes just minutes to walk into Barnard Castle, with all its lovely restaurants and cafes. The cottage is spacious and well appointed. The bed in the main bedroom was gigantic and both beds were comfortable. We found everything we needed for our stay and more. The neighbour in the adjoining property was very friendly. He came straight out to meet us on our arrival and gave us some restaurant recommendations and maps of the local area.

The sofas in the lounge were a little on the small side and not the most comfortable. I don’t think this would be a problem if you visited during the warmer months and were out and about most of the time. However, the weather was very cold so we’d planned lots of cosy nights in at the cottage and would have appreciated a bit more comfort.

Very clean, great location, good Italian restaurant around the corner.

Location was excellent for walking into town and surrounding areas. Very comfortable and a good size for a cottage. The outside area was also a bonus having a dog.

Could have provided more everyday cleaning products and the bin in the kitchen didn't have a lid. The approach to the cottage was a little tight and as the next door neighbours cars were there permanently it was a bit difficult for us to reverse into our spot so we left the car on the main street close by.

Nice spacious modern cottage with comfortable furniture. Very close to the town centre and free parking in front of the cottage.

Some of the flooring at the top of the stairs and in the large bedroom is in need of repair The walls have alot of marks on them and are in need of a fresh coat of paint. The carpets and rug pretty stained and could do with being cleaned. We arrived in the dark and there was no light to see the keysafe/number.
