Pet Friendly Hotels & Resorts in Barnard Castle from AU$121

"We booked a 2 night stay in one of the family rooms. For what the hotel offered it was exceptionally good value. We barely found any other hotels around with decent rooms for the same price, nevermind one with a swimming room and gym! The family room was great, although we did switch it to begin with. The rooms are in 2 sections and our first room had one of the kids beds in with the double bed, meaning if we'd stayed there with our 2 year old we wouldn't have been able to watch TV, make a brew or even talk! Probably not an issue with older kids who stay up later, but just something to be mindful of when booking with younger kids. That being said they staff switched out room with no hesitation and we did get one that had both kids beds together and the double separate. We arrived with bikes and the staff kindly allowed us to store them inside a locked room in the hotel which saved us the worry of leaving them on the car roof for the whole visit. Another nice touch. Breakfast was great, porridge, fruit, cereals, croissants, yogurts and a full cooked option too. Enough there to fill our kids up and save a few quid on lunch! Swimming was an added bonus, but just be mindful that kids can only swim 8am-10am (which is right through the breakfast time) or 2pm-6pm. This did take some careful planning on when to go without it interfering with the rest of our plans. However, we did manage to go twice in the 2 days. The later check out of 11am as standard was very helpful as well!"

"Although we did spend a bit more on a room in the castle it was worth every penny The room was large and spotless and all of the service we received was excellent from every member of the staff nothing was ever to much trouble and they were always on hand to help The food was excellent quality and well cooked It’s set in beautiful grounds and I would not hesitate to book again If you feel like treating yourself book a few days at this hotel you won’t be disappointed "

"Very family friendly and our dog was made to feel very welcome with some simple adaptions to allow us to dine on the evening and morning. All staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Great value, we are repeat customers and will keep returning. "

"Lovely stay in a great size family room. Swimming pool for the kids was great. Staff all friendly and very helpful (we had a visit from the tooth fairy whilst there 😊 ) Pancakes for breakfast made the kids day! Good location with car to lots of things. Would recommend. "
