Barnard Castle sits on the River Tees in County Durham, and the lodges around it suit groups more than couples. The typical place sleeps about 8, and the largest takes 24. Guest ratings are high, at 9.2 out of 10.

Hot tubs are the main feature here, with almost nine in ten places offering one. Around seven in ten have a log burner and a similar share take pets. Every place has a garden. Prices are on the high side for a short break because so many places are large. Still, the range is wide, and the smaller two-bedroom lodges with a hot tub are the easier way in. A week costs noticeably more outside winter than in it, so the season matters as much as the size of the lodge.

Features

Every place has a garden, and 14 of the 16 have a hot tub. Log burners come in at 11 places, and 9 have a high chair, which helps if you are travelling with a toddler. Barbecues and fishing are each offered at 4 places. Only 2 have a swimming pool and just 1 has a sauna. Places with a log burner are usually dearer than the typical night, and the sauna place is far dearer than anything else. If you want a hot tub, you will not need to pay extra for it in most cases, as it is close to standard here.

By number of guests

Lodges that sleep 3 to 4 are the most common, with 7 places and two bedrooms each. Places for 5 to 6 guests have three bedrooms and work out cheaper per person, at about 33. That makes the larger lodge the better value if you can fill it. For two people, the choice is narrower, with only a handful of small lodges. Couples may find a two-bedroom lodge costs less than expected when a place is quiet.

Prices month by month

November is the cheapest month in the period, at the same level as the usual night. January and February cost a little more. December is dearer, as the Christmas period lifts prices, and April is the dearest month of all. March sits in between. Availability is better in the new year, with more free dates in January, February and April than in November or December. If you want a lower price and a better pick of dates, late winter is the easiest time to book.
