From the owner

Hilltop Cottage is the spacious 2 bedroom Cottage in the historic village of Bowes just 5 minutes from Barnard Castle.

Lovely South facing garden and cosy log burning stove in the lounge, well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. The cottage is a perfect base for exploring the area.

Whilst your dogs are most welcome, we do ask that they are not allowed upstairs and that of course you clean up after them.
