Ranked as one of the `poshest villages in the UK` according to The Times – reserve your stay with the Milbank Arms – Winter Special Deal !
Barningham, near Darlington, Co Durham
In the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, the tiny conservation village is listed in the Domesday Book under the ownership of a Saxon lord, Thor. Today it’s owned by a dashing baronet and his well-connected wife, Sir Edward and Lady Natalie Milbank, who live at the local stately home, Barningham Park, and whose family have owned the surrounding 7,000-acre Barningham and Holgate Estate since 1690. They’ve recently renovated the village pub, the Milbank Arms, turning it into a local gastro spot with six chic bedrooms and three cute cottages. Or you can bed down on the estate’s Helwith Cottage on the edge of the moor, which featured in All Creatures Great and Small.

    read moreWe have recently stayed at no 2 The Reading Rooms here.
    It was a lovely place and in such a beautiful area.
    It was a lovely cottage and so warm and cosy and the beds were so comfy!
    We did have a little issue as we had have to move cottages and they were not expecting us but Karen was very kind and came and put the lights on etc but we missed out on the welcome tray!!
    We were also told that there was no toilet seat at all as it was broken but I did struggle without this and we did ask twice about it.
    We also found that there was only 5 plates and 4 bowls and hardly any cutlery !!
    There were also no oven gloves which was difficult!!
    On the whole though we had a really lovely break in a lovely little cottage

They made us feel comfortable, welcome and special from the moment we arrived. The accommodation in design and quality is top class. The food served while not fine dinning is hearty, wholesome, cooked fresh from local products and ticks all the boxes after a long day’s walking. read less

I was part of a larger wedding party that stayed in all of the different accommodation on offer and we all ate at the pub on the Friday night and had breakfast each morning. The staff were wonderful and very welcoming. Karen, the landlady, ensured we had everything we could need. The food was delicious and huge effort put into ensuring we felt looked after. The accommodation was beautifully renovated and comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitated to stay here again. The standard of the rooms is very high and even the smallest room was comfortable and well appointed. A huge well done and thank you to all the staff who helped throughout the stay. read less

Everything we needed and beautifully decorated and furnished. It was spotlessly clean (and it’s totally dog friendly) and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Breakfast is included in the cost and you just wander across the courtyard to the pub.

    We cooked one night and ate at the pub for the second. Our meal was delicious and the evening was made all the better by a welcoming and friendly waitress called Gail.

    Barningham is a stunningly beautiful village and there is lots to do in the surrounding area, particularly if you like walking.
