Family-friendly vacation rentals in Stockton-on-Tees

Absolutely loved our stay here, the cottage its self was gorgeous and the space inside was a really great lay out and very spacious! The cottage had everything we needed as-well as the little extras that were complimentary, and overall Sheila has been a great host and I would recommend this place, we had an amazing stay here! Thank you x

Firstly wow! The area in which this little cottage is set is beautiful, tranquil and private and has an enclosed garden for mine and my sister’s dogs. The welcome hamper was the best we’ve ever had with so many goodies in! Lots of local dog walks around the area and hotel grounds and we even found a waterfall after a heavy rainfall which was a lovely surprise. The cottage was clean and all beds made up, towels were provided too. Log fire and wood fired pizza oven and hot tub were so welcome on a foggy day when we were unable to travel. Wi-Fi was a bit hit and miss but not a real problem. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Only negative was only 2 windows open. We loved the fact we were surrounded by nature and birdsong and would have loved to have the windows open to make the most of this. Wouldn’t put us off going again as there are so many other areas we didn’t get to explore around there.

We had an amazing stay. Spotlessly clean with quality furnishings and comfy beds. The location is beautiful and being enclosed is ideal for pets and children. We would love to stay again

The photos don’t do this place justice. It really is beautiful. Quaint, spacious, clean and tidy. Plenty of facilities such as vac, mop, washing machine, dryer, cleaning products etc. Kitchen is a lovely space to all sit together. Bedrooms were very spacious and room for clothes etc. Lovely nights sleep in comfortable beds. Central heating worked a treat with log fire in the room (we didn’t need to use) including other heaters. It is lovely and warm and cosy. The views and surrounding areas are lovely. We used the hot tub which was a lovely addition and worked well been outside the conservatory part. We were a family group of mixed ages and we would absolutely stay here again. Host was great with contact prior to arrival with flexible check in/out. Overall a brilliant stay and we’ve also said we would return.

The family and I thoroughly enjoyed Rambling Cottage. Beautiful cottage in a great location and very accessible. It was a great space for us to base ourselves for a long weekend exploring what the North York Moors had to offer. Highly recommend. Michael, Laura, Elsa and Eddie

Fantastic cottage and location is to die for. I have got to say David and Barbara have a jewel here. Claire has communicated everything we needed and answered every question we had. Again fantastic. Highly recommend this place. Thanks and hope to return

Fabulous house for our family to catch up and spend time together Clean and well presented. Private secure garden for our dogs Great amenities. Handy to walk into the centre of Helmsley for a range of restaurants. Walks from the house. Never drove anywhere all weekend. Will return

We had a lovely time. It was like a home from home. Emma couldn't do enough for us. The bed was really comfortable and there were plenty of enticing cafes and restaurants in Bishop Auckland.

We absolutely loved Caroline's place and were sad to leave after a couple of nights. A beautifully converted barn in the most beautiful part of North Yorkshire, with stunning grounds. First time to Great Ayton but hopefully not our last and, if we do return, Caroline's place would be the top of our accommodation list if available.

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful home. Lynne is an excellent host and the place is very nicely decorated. We did a country walk nearby as there are lots of footpaths and we came across great views of the surroundings and local bird life. All in all another excellent trip. We highly recommend!

Great little cottage in a beautiful village. We knew the place well already. It's a short stroll to a couple of great pubs and restaurants. The place itself was warm, cosy, and quiet. Comfy beds. Would definitely book again.

We stayed at Robin's place for 2 nights and loved it from the first minute we entered the house. The fireplace and cozy living room made our stay. Thank you, Robin. We'll come again in the future :)

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we felt at home from the day we arrived. The cottage was perfect for our extended stay (a month) and we will fondly remember our time in the cottage, Frosterley and the Weardale and North Pennines area. Our hosts were very friendly, laid back and made us feel wonderfully relaxed during our stay. The cottage was warm, comfortable and well appointed and ideal for our needs. We would definitely recommend River View Cottage and the other accommodation in the courtyard to family and friends and we would definitely consider returning in the future for another break.

Absolutely fantastic stay for my daughter’s 10th birthday. The house is so spacious we absolutely loved it! Great for playing outdoors and dog walks The house had everything we needed and the cookies baked for arrival were delicious. Washing machine and tumble dryer also came in really handy! The bedding smelt fresh and the house was so cosy and clean! Absolutely 💯 reccomend

The second we put the key in the door we knew we were in for a treat. Walking into the huge kitchen with a table fit for The Waltons and the highest kitchen ceiling we’ve ever seen. Then on into the wonderfully spacious living room with beams and a log burner and sofas so comfy and roomy, we felt immediately relaxed. Beautiful fields with cows, horse riders passing by and the only sounds were birdsong. One of our favourite air bnbs to date. We didn’t want to leave! Our old boy pooch was very contented pottering round the lovely garden and sunbathing. Thank you Victoria for letting us stay

Wonderful stay! The apartment was spotless and very well maintained, with very good cleaning attention to detail. It was clean, cozy, and perfectly located. The host was responsive and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. We loved the amenities and the neighborhood was fantastic. Highly recommend !!

Willow Cottage was outstanding. we cannot fault this accommodation. I highly recommend a stay here, we were not disappointed. The cottage was warm, comfortable, well equipped and stylish. We didn't want to leave. Thank you for your hospitality.

This is by far the nicest Airbnb we have every stayed at. The cottage and secure garden is perfect, everything you could want has been thought of - even down to a towel for the dogs and milk /in the fridge for our arrival . Comfortable and homely . Jane was there to great us and ensure we had all we needed . We can’t thank Jane enough she made our family getaway a roaring success- we will be back (after calving season!)

Comfy house in beautiful setting just out of Rosedale Abbey. Linda and Ian were friendly and very helpful. Would recommend hope to return.

Great facilities, shower is amazing, comfy bed, washing machine, tumble dryer and dish washer, great location for walking to shops and great walks for dogs.

We loved our stay in Carlton and will definitely be returning. John and Amanda are great hosts - they made us feel so welcome; there was even homemade cake and beautiful homemade soap on arrival! They made a point of welcoming us at the start, and saying goodbye at the end. Carlton is a great place - we are even considering a move there!

Great little place on Esh Hill with views of Langley Park below and nearby towns. Great place for us knowing the area well and easy to get to/access. Love that it is also dog friendly! Many thanks to both of you for letting us enjoy the place for the few days we were there!
