In here, sleek kitchen units contain everything you could need to rustle up a delicious meal that can be enjoyed at the dining table, set up to two, and perfect for a toasting to a special occasion. For those more relaxing evenings, grab your snacks from the kitchen before sinking into the plush sofa and tune into the state-of-the-art TV to while away a couple of hours before bed. Once the evening comes to end, retire to the double bedroom, which boasts elegant furnishings and crisp white sheets to snuggle under after an action-packed day exploring. From here, step into the impressive bathroom, where you have a spacious walk-in shower and a beautiful, freestanding copper bath. Continuing to impress, the interior is completed by a second bath, where you can look forward dipping into the bubbles for an indulgent soak and set the light to suit your mood. During a summer’s day, take your morning coffee to the picnic bench or enjoy a spot of lunch on the large lawn area and admire your surroundings. Step out of the castle grounds and explore the winding streets and lanes of Stanhope, home to a plethora of pubs, specialist food stores, coffee shops and shops for picking up the essentials. As you explore the market town you will also find a heated outdoor swimming pool, as well as charming strolls along the River Wear, or if you bringing your bike along, Stanhope is on the C2C cycle route.
