Family-friendly vacation rentals in Durham

A really lovely place to stay. Beautifully set up and Sheila had thought of everything. Lots of extra treats and food we did not expect! Girls loved the hot tub. Thank you so much.

Brockram Barn is simply stunning. We had a wonderful family holiday - there was everything we could possibly want, and more! Of course, the hot tub and table tennis were fun extras, but Harriet had thought of everything and equipped the home to an extremely high standard and, as a family of five, we had plenty of space. We loved the area and did many of the suggested walks and activities, plus a few more! It was so good to be amongst the sheep, surrounded by green fields and wildlife with beautiful, ever-changing views. Thank you, Harriet and family, for a truly great time!

The property is beautiful but Billy and Gill made our stay extra special. They couldn’t do enough to help us feel at home. The apartment was clean, spacious, warm, safe, cosy and exactly as described. There is a large lounge to relax in with a great range of DVDS, games and books. We also had access to the games room which our boys were intrigued by and found a lovely Pinocchio book, Disney jigsaw puzzle and had a little go on the snooker table. But the stand out was the garden with treehouse, trampoline and ride on toys - our boys were obsessed - it was all perfect for our needs. Nice little extra touches were the welcome treats on arrival for both us and our kids and a bottle milk in the fridge. Billy and Gill always had time to talk and make sure everything was okay for us. I had a treatment with Gill which was amazing and would definitely recommend. Already planning our next trip at Stonelea House - thank you again for letting us stay in your lovely home.

We had the best weekend staying here - the place was lovely, had absolutely everything you need, with Christmas decorations giving it a lovely touch! Karen was very helpful and communicative making the experience even better and easier Perfect location for a cosy quiet weekend away - will be back x

Maple cottage fitted our needs perfectly and Caroline and her associates were very friendly and helpful with any requests we made. The hot tub was a welcome relaxation bonus!

The host was very helpful. The accommodation was just right for me.

Super host and stay. Highly recommended. Thanks.

Great location, around the corner from the Metro. Exceeded expectation as haven't used air BnB before. Hosts were helpful. A lovely place, highly recomend!

Lovely cottage. As described. Fire was lit when we arrived which was a very nice touch. Carey was very responsive and showed us around the property. She left food for breakfast. Would stay again!

Our Christmas stay was curtailed by family circumstances and Victoria could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Quick to respond to all our messages! Thank you Victoria!

Beautiful house in beautiful surroundings the sea can be seen from the front windows and only a few mins walk to the beach and local bars. Michael was responsive and always helpful. The property is big and has all you’ll need for an home from home experience. We are already looking at a return same time next year 👍🏻👍🏻

We absolutely loved our stay at Sammy’s place. The flat was easy to find with the descriptions/directions given prior. The host was very quick at responding when I queried parking (which was no issue at all). It was all exactly as described with a nice homely feel. The bedding felt luxurious, the towels were soft, the sofas super comfy and there was even a bottle of wine and milk in the fridge. The location was superb, so close to the centre of Hexham, yet very quiet. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back or recommend to others. Thank you ☺️

We absolutely loved our stay here, one of our favourite places! The surrounding area is gorgeous, the cottage set right on the bank of a stream with walks both ways. Peaceful, quiet and surprisingly spacious for a 2 bed! Not to mention spotlessly clean and well stocked. Would highly recommend a stay here and we will certainly be back.

We loved it so much the first time we stayed here, we went back again. It doesn't disappoint. It's location is beautiful and peaceful, yet close to all the fantastic trappings the North Yorkshire Moors are famous for, whether that is a visit to the coast or an Abbey or one of many beautiful historic towns. We will be going back again!

We booked this venue to help my parents celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary. We needed accomodation for some guests and areas that were accessible for the elderly. I had not realised that the venue is two completely separate units, so on arrival I was a little disappointed, as only one of the living areas was accessible for most of the guests. However, it is such a wonderful building with enough open space that we were able to have the celebration in one of the units and just used the other for the bedrooms only. I certainly would recommend this venue to anyone who wants to visit the area or as we did, hold a small celebration (20 guests) Thank you William for providing a very comfortable and well equipped venue.

Beautiful place with amazing views of a lovely little village . Anyone wishing to do the paradise biking trail.. the trail passes this property which makes it a perfect location. Everything you can wish for in a self contained apartment. I stayed for one night but could have easily stayed longer.

West Cottage perfect for a family of 4 with 2 boys, looking to get out into the countryside and explore the area. Beautiful location, photos don’t do it justice, surrounded by green hills, sheep and with a brook below the garden. We were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves which meant we could use the wave machine, hot tub and games room whenever we wanted after days out. Also enjoyed having our meals out on the lawn. Cottage had all we needed, comfy beds and kitchen well-equipped.

We loved the remoteness of the cottage, the peace & quiet. Loved the pool & hot tub which is a must if we don't stay coastal.You definitely need a car to access any shops as the nearest shop is 2.3 miles and this closes at 5. No pubs within walking distance and some pubs only opened certain days and opened at 6. However that's what makes the place attractive & peaceful. Lots of places to visit with 10 mile radius. Great walks and historical sites to see. Beautiful landscape. Cottage was very snug & comfortable.

Spacious and warm cottage in a great location for exploring beautiful Northumberland. Bellingham is a great place to stay with pubs, places to eat, co-op, butchers, etc. We loved the Hareshaw Linn walk to the waterfall, followed by a visit to Tea on The Train, which is a fun way to have lunch on an old Inter City train carriage! Kielder Observatory is only 30 minutes away for unbeatable stargazing. What a fantastic trip! We will look for Norma's cottage again on our next visit to Northumberland.

Excellent we enjoyed it very much. We definitely will be back. Highly recommended.
