Cottage vacation rentals in Newcastle upon Tyne

A very peaceful and quiet retreat in a lovely part of the North East. It was so quiet and relaxing spending time in the hot tub and inside the cottage. Although this is no fault of Rachael's and/or the cottage please be wary that if you're over 6 foot you will be ducking a lot! I banged my head twice coming out of the bathroom when going during the night and still half asleep (again, this is nothing against the host or the location - just a pre-warning!)

Lovely house, Courtney is friendly and super quick at replying to any questions. Awesome location and we’ve all said we’d happily book to stay again when visiting Newcastle x

Lovely quite place to stay? Friendly host and nice welcome pack on arrival. Comfortable couch and bed. Very spacious downstairs and wheelchair friendly. The vents can be a bit noisy when the wind gets up. Very little light pollution in some directions if you are into star gazing. The drive is spacious .

What a beautiful cottage, spotless and so cosy We needed to ask a question and Esther was so lovely and helpful. She is held in very high regard within the village by everyone we met. Lovely hot tube which we can guarantee is emptied after each guest. Beautiful walk to river, straight out the gate. Beautiful places to visit within 30 mins Would highly recommend

We spent the weekend at Gill’s beautiful cottage and it could not have been any better. The cottage was perfect in every way and we couldn’t have felt anymore at home. The cottage itself was gorgeous and extremely well kept and the views across the fields were stunning. Gill was a great host and went above and beyond to make our trip one to remember. We would recommend this to anyone and were certainly come back again in the future.

Four of us have just spent 3 nights in Peewit Cottage. From the moment we arrived, we all felt right at home, the place was spotless, beds very comfortable too! Everything you could possibly need for a self catering stay was provided. Having the private hot tub was fabulous, we loved it after full days of being tourists in the local area. On a separate note, we would highly recommend a visit to Beamish Museum which was about a 30 min drive, we also spent a day in Durham City & booked a 2.5 hr History/City Tour with walkaboutdurham - highly recommended. Tour Guide Peter is very knowledgeable & so passionate about his job plus he gives everyone a "free" cocktail voucher for Turtle Bay - well deserved after 2.5hrs walking around the City 🤣🤣

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The hosts were great at not just providing information but being very responsive to messages and were very friendly and welcoming. The house had everything you could need/want. We didn't need to use the kitchen facilities much in our stay but there was everything you could need there. The welcome pack provided was very much appreciated containing some lovely goodies, especially the coffee from the Durham Coffee company. It was delicious. The beds were super comfy and loved that they provided both a firm & medium pillow to accommodate everyone's preferences. The whole place was really clean & they had really thought about what people would need during a stay. The hot tub was a lovely addition and some of our party took advantage of it. Others liked the fire pit & the hosts even brought round some more logs for us to have a second use of it during our stay. Loved that every room had an ensuite, made things much easier. Loved the Harry Potter room

I’d picked this location as a convenient spot for meeting with family over the Christmas period. Also very important was the single level accommodation as my husband has mobility issues. The bedroom was large and comfortable and the en-suite shower room was a big bonus. I really appreciated the supply of tea, coffee and breakfast stuff. Our dog was also welcome and we enjoyed lots of walks around the village. Highly recommended if you need a quiet spot as a base for a Northumbrian holiday as it is within a sensible distance from everything from the Roman Wall, the coast and castles to Newcastle. Our host was very nice and all communications with her were clear and simple. Would be happy to book again.

We had a wonderful stay at The Old Barn. It was the perfect cozy base for our trip to visit family locally. The barn was peaceful, comfortable, spotlessly clean and fresh - it had everything we needed and we especially enjoyed coming back to the fire after a day out. Our boys enjoyed playing football in the lovely garden. Steven was really helpful. We had a fabulous time - very highly recommended.

This is a return trip for us as we enjoyed it so much on our previous visit. We were made to feel very much at home, and Laura goes out of her way to make things as perfect as possible. The small details make all the difference, the dog treats and chocolate for my sons to the wine and brownies left in the spotless, well equipped kitchen. The property is very tastefully decorated, both clean and cosy, the log burner is a real plus too. Many thanks for a wonderful weekend!

Had great stay at the cottage with our Giant Schnauzer Blue. The host Sarah was amazing, we arrived very late, and Sarah had left heaters and lights on so once we arrive it is nice and cosy! Location was great, so close to everything and all the places we had planned to visit while in Newcastle. The cottage also had a fenced off terrace for our dog to roam around. Would definitely return when visiting family 😊Thank you Sarah!

We had a beautiful stay at Michael’s house, feeling right at home. We caught some beautiful sunsets whilst we were there. Michael was extremely responsive at sorting a minor problem before our arrival and provided lots of lovely little welcome touches. Thanks for great stay!

Just back from a long weekend staying at Gardeners Cottage and it was bliss. Lockhaugh Farm/Gardeners Cottage is in an excellent location - I’m from the area and never knew it existed! Tucked away down a farm track; the site has stunning views and feels very secluded - all we heard all weekend was birds singing. The farm backs out onto the Derwent walk/river so literally step out the gate and you’re onto a beautiful walk. At the top of the track is Rowlands Gill, a bustling village just 15/20 mins from Newcastle, so you have the best of both worlds. We went out two nights during our stay and no problem with taxis finding us (we used Kingsway). The cottage is surprisingly light and airy but still cosy. Well appointed kitchen, wet room and huge comfy bed - we slept amazingly. Struggled a bit with the telly and WiFi signal but we weren’t fussed - we pre downloaded some bits on the iPad and could make calls from the car. Definitely our new base when visiting family in the area!

We had a great time! The farm cottage had everything that you needed for a comfortable and well equipped stay. It was lovely seeing the lambs playing in the field, hearing the owls in the evening in the nearby trees and seeing the fantastic sunsets on the horizon. We enjoyed our walks around Bolam country Park, getting to Cresswell Beach and going into Newcastle. We also went into the National park for a walk up to a waterfall. Our dog - Callie - enjoyed her stay just as much as we did! Would definitely be happy to visit again.

The Annexe was a lovely place to stay peaceful and private. We had a little issue with parking as the place assigned to The Annexe had been taken , a call made to Carlene and this was sorted. A great break.

Abbey Hill Cottages to high above W. Hartlepool. They are well equipped.Beds are comfortable and so is sitting room furniture. Plenty of hot water. Good shower.Lots of space. I would stay again.

My sister and I really enjoyed staying in Binks cottage. Amanda and her family made us feel very welcome and we were able to see the lambs in the barn and learn about their care. The cottage is exceptionally comfortable and had everything we wanted. Excellent place to stay. Thankyou!

We stayed at Hamraz's house when our home was flooded so we stayed for 4 weeks. The location is amazing- close to amenities and the views are stunning. The house was big enough for us to comfortably live in for 4 weeks. The hot tub is well worth the extra money as it's a premium hot tub. Hamraz husband very prompt at explaining things at check in. Host then very much left us to it which was ideal for us. Would stay again.

Peaceful and stunning. Surrounded by sheep. Such a lovely place. We arrived at the end of March and were blessed to see the spring lambs. Plenty of parking and everything you need indoors. Such a good price for what you get.

Literally the best place to stay. So close to the city, but far enough a way that it is quiet! Great recommendations and awesome breakfast 😊

A perfect, charming cottage in the countryside. Everything we needed. Even a fireplace! The host is friendly, answeres quicly and is informative. We would love to come back some time.

Enjoyed a lovely stay at Low Fell. Our cottage was just as described. It was so comfortable. My husband and I both slept like logs . A much needed rest. It was a perfect base for exploring .

Amazing location, with an equally amazing property-everything you would want on holiday. John had left a lovely cake, eggs, milk and bread. The chickens and peacocks, not to forget Clementine, elevated our stay!John was very quick to address any queries we had.
