The House has a chequered history: a hatter's shop whose owner wasn't mad but ended up in Durham Jail, a pub that the locals nicknamed 'The Bucket of Blood' and, until recently, an antique shop.

Start the day with a fresh fruit platter, home made muesli, yoghurts, cooked breakfast with local organic produce or maybe scrambled eggs with smoked trout. For evening meals we have the oldest house in Barnard Castle next door, where Oliver Cromwell allegedly dined, a pub and Chinese restaurant across the road and a range of other pubs and restaurants within walking distance. And in an emergency we can always raid the fridge.
