The historic Boot and Shoe lies on the banks of the River Tees, at an ancient crossing from Yorkshire into Durham.
We offer a warm welcome with a roaring log fire and home-baking, comfy sofas and country antique furnishings. Outside the River Tees flows past the back garden with an abundance of wildlife including the resident kingfishers and occasional otter and to the front there are fields with horses, sheep and rabbits. A short walk through our wood brings you to our tennis court. Private fishing is also available.
Relax in the atmospheric sitting room with its open fire, comfy sofas and views over the front garden and fields. The fully equipped kitchen / dining room has French windows opening on to the garden, with steps down to the river. Enjoy your meals whilst watching the River Tees flow by – an ever changing view!
Barnard Castle has a wide selection of local shops, several antique shops on “The Bank”, a weekly market and monthly farmers’ market. The nearest farm shop is 2 miles and the nearest pub is a 10 minute walk. There are also several good restaurants close by.
The area offers something for everyone – gentle walks or the rugged North Pennines AONB, historic castles and museums, traditional market towns and villages with shops and antiques, birdwatching, sports and more. The Yorkshire dales and cathedral cities of Durham, Ripon and York are not far away.
