The Byre

Barnard Castle, North East England

The Byre
The Byre is a cottage near Barnard Castle in County Durham, sleeping four and well suited to a small family or a couple of friends looking for a quiet countryside stay. Bishop Auckland station is the nearest, some 12.5 miles off, so it's best suited to those travelling by car.
