The rustic charm of the place adds character, with unique raw materials and stylish unfinished surfaces creating an authentic atmosphere. The proximity to a wedding venue offers a lively ambience, perfect for celebrating special occasions.

The room sizes, particularly the 'superior' options, might leave some feeling cramped, especially with raw breeze blocks exposed—definitely not everyone's idea of comfort. The late-night wedding music can disrupt sleep, and being above the kitchen means morning noise from fans can wake you rather early. having limited coffee options in the single-use coffee machine feels a bit stingy for the cost of the stay.

Couple getaway with some hiccups

The location was perfect with fine views, and the hot tub on our patio was an absolute treat. The staff were friendly and really made us feel welcome, even playing our favorite tunes softly in the background while we relaxed.

It was a bit on the pricey side, but you know, that comes with the territory of thinking you're treating yourself.

Had a lovely stay in a cozy room with a path right outside and a comfortable bed. Enjoyed some quality relaxation in the beautiful garden and the soothing jacuzzi. Just wish there were more cups in the room for two of us, but overall, it was a nice trip! 😊

The cozy room lacked light, yet the garden was beautifully peaceful.

Charming, Charming, Charming

I absolutely adored the rustic decor and warmth of the junior suite, which felt like a cozy countryside retreat. The stunning views from the hot tub were a show-stopper, and I was spoiled with fluffy bathrobes and lovely toiletries that made me feel pampered. Breakfast was a delightful mix of continental treats and perfectly cooked options, fueling our adventures for the day!

recommend ❤🧡

It was just a great match for a brief weekend stay in Barnard Castle with extraordinarily good value for money. The room was clean and comfortable, making it a nice place to relax after exploring the area. Just check if they have extra pillows available if you prefer softer ones.

the staff was really friendly and helpful, the food in the restaurant was excellent, and we enjoyed a lovely breakfast with plenty of choices. the decoration and design were very appealing, just some areas felt a bit unfinished for my taste. our room was cozy and comfy, which made our stay more enjoyable.

Can't recommend highly enough for a couple of nights

Amazing staff, delicious food, and a very comfortable room made our stay truly enjoyable. everything was taken care of, from the warm welcome at check-in to the convenience of having free parking during our visit, just 31 km from the nearest airport.

Everything was as expected.

Fantastic Stay, Amazing Staff!

We had such a lovely time! The staff were super friendly and really professional. Breakfast was something else—perfectly cooked! Our room was spacious and clean, but couldn't open the window for fresh air. A few plants would brighten up the view since we had no sight outside. Loved the bar lounge area too!

Couples seeking comfort and good views

The view from our room was absolutely stunning, waking up to the fields just outside was something to talk about. Plus, the breakfast was just perfect, Aimee went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed.

It wasn't exactly a bargain but for the experience, I'd say it was acceptable.

Runa Farm is beautifully decorated with a rustic charm. The peaceful gardens, adorned with flowers, were a delight to stroll through, and the accessible pathways made it easy for me to navigate comfortably during my stay.

Improved room accessibility for seniors would be appreciated.

lovely staff, delicious food, a perfect party experience with all-you-can-drink options

Great food, friendly staff.

excellent proximity to charming museums and beautiful parks

I enjoyed my stay for one night and appreciated the beautiful surroundings, especially the short walk to The Bowes Museum and the peaceful Rokeby Park, perfect for leisurely strolls in nature. the hotel staff was friendly and made my experience even better with exceptional dinner selections.

The atmosphere has a certain charm with a rustic aesthetic that draws you in. The scenic views from the rooms give a taste of the countryside, making for a nice backdrop.

Furnishings feel like they were designed more for looks than practicality, with quirky elements that can be a hassle—like the decorative shower that floods the bathroom, or a basin that’s more about style than usability. The rooms are cramped, and the layout doesn't make it easy to enjoy basic amenities like tea-making, especially when the kettle is tucked underneath a clothes rail. Plus, if you're not a fan of wedding music, it can be tough if your room overlooks the wedding barn where the festivities run late into the night.
