Family-friendly vacation rentals in Durham

Lovely and comfortable with everything that you need. Great as a base for a wedding at Middleton Lodge. The owner actually shares the outside space so are able to greet you and answer any queries. Only thing missing was a welcome pack so we knew what to do with rubbish/recycling.

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!

We had an amazing weekend here. The place is really clean and with lots of things to do like the pool table or hot tub. Bill was very helpful with everything from checking times to fixing problems. We would definitely come again.

Lovely accommodation. Comfy beds. Clean. Just a few more plates and dishes would be useful. Fab hot tub. Would recommend

Fantastic location, absolutely perfect for what we were looking for, had everything we could have hoped for. Photos do not do it justice!

Fabulous host, great little spot right on Hadrian's wall. Very easy to find and access. Really comfy beds!

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!

We had a lovely stay at Sunrise. Romaldkirk is a quintessentially english village. Beautifully set amongst wonderful countryside. The family had a great time. Sarah's communication was great before and during our stay. We had kids and elderly relatives staying with us and the layout of the cottage was brilliant for our needs

Lovely one night stay here. Cottage is quirky but comfy, and the fire was a big plus as was the vegan brekkie Carey provided. Aysgarth is a gorgeous area to stay in.

What a great place! Nice quiet area, both myself my mum and my dog loved this trip. All the things you need were present, great kitchen and lovely spacious lounge/bedrooms.

Hexham is a beautiful town in the North East and Ian's place is superbly situated just a short stroll down the road and you're at the Abbey and the centre of town opens up with the Theatre, Cinema, shops and eateries in abundance. Short drives away are Beamish, Alan Banks, Hadrian's Wall, Blanchland and the stunning drive from Blanchland to Stanhope, Corbridge and much more. After a day out it's an absolute joy to return to the apartment which was always warm and welcoming. The apartment was well laid out had everything you could need for any length of stay, we were there for 2 weeks, and I do mean everything. Ian was a very responsive owner and very friendly coming out of his way to say "hello" and see if we were ok. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and well maintained and the lounge was large and well laid out with excellent decor, it felt like home. One added advantage was a parking permit for the street. Overall, I have no hesitation in recommending a stay here.

lovely place in jesmond. cosy and quiet with parking. Joanne was a great host! very friendly and helpful for anything we needed would love to stay again

The cottage is just beautiful, everything had been well thought through with style and good taste. The kitchen was excellent with everything we could possibly need, the house was warm and cosy and the bed super comfy. Overall the location was an absolute dream - would recommend the Allenheads Inn if you’re walking that way. Normally we use airbnbs as a base to be out every day but with this cottage, we ended up wanting to spend time in, just enjoying the cottage. We’ll definitely be back!

Fantastic place and host! Mark was incredibly welcoming, responsive, and made sure everything was perfect for our stay. The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Wylam was a lovely cozy town and only 20 minutes from Newcastle. Highly recommend staying here!

Great place for a few days away. Lovely homely warm cottage, with cake and bread on arrival. walking routes on the door step and good pubs nearby. Will be back soon.

As always - lovely apartment, beautiful surroundings. Stayed with Ian a few times now and this time was just as a high a standard as always. Well worth a stay if you’re in the area

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.

Norma was a lovely, responsive and friendly hist. I sent her quite a few questions about the cottage and the area and she responded quickly and with lots of suggestions. The cottage was home from home . We went up to Kielder a couple of days from here and explored the local area. Would highly recommend. Thank you

The only thing that could make this caravan even better than it is would be a washing machine - There's nothing else that i can think of to make the holiday more perfect -The launderette was out of order during our stay but this wasn't the hosts fault, this was just a issue with the caravan site but these things happen. Beautiful views from the decking and the xbox was great entertainment for my eldest child. A bath was a bonus - especially when you have children :) A great base for exploring the area - would love to book again!

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

Booked a last minute break. Studio cottage was lovely, clean and fresh. Swimming pool and hot tub were a nice touch. Thank you
