Family-friendly holiday rentals in Durham

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

Billy and his wife were very welcoming. We had a cake baked for us and the apartment was very clean and homely.

Beautiful place so relaxing just what we needed as a family to regroup and recharge our batteries. Very well equipped with all the essentials made use of the washing machine and airer and ironing board and iron. Great wfi. Hot tub was lovely and the veiws from it.

Lovely little place, perfect for a get away break. The hottub was great to relax in. The goats are gorgeous and so friendly. The family dog was a welcome visitor. Amazing to sit and listen to the birds and look at the beautiful scenery.

Harriet is so welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in her stunning barns. Everything is finished to a very high spec and the spacious bedrooms and en-suites are wonderful. The farm and countryside setting is beautiful. We were sorry to leave!

Emma’s place is lovely exactly as described. The garden was a great bonus hot tub was wonderful. We were in Newcastle due to the Magic Weekend so we used the house as a base for 2 families. Everyone had a great time perfect place for us to get together. Communications were very good.. Thank you Emma and your family for allowing us to stay in your home.

Brilliant stay.. so peaceful and spacious inside and out! Really well equipped and huge hot tub that is actually hot :) Will definitely stay again!

Great location and barn. Perfect for a multi generational family get together (including a dog). The barn was exactly as described and well kitted out. The outside space is private and safe - the barbecue and hot tub are of a great standard. Excellent food at the Rose and Crown (but you must book). Plenty of places too visit....we had a great walk with two young children round High Force. Sarah is responsive and not "in your face". As good an Airbnb as we have been to for our annual clan gathering.

Stayed at Michaels whilst working at the University and it was superb. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need. Communication was great throughout. Highly recommend.

Wonderful hosts; friendly and responsive. Great location that was close to the main shops, pubs and restaurants in Hexam as well as for visiting Hadrian's Wall. Extremely well equipped and clean. Highly recommend.

Fantastic stay, felt like a home from home. Lovely garden, good parking, well-located for shops and places to eat, near to beaches and just generally a great place to stay. Great communication from start to finish. Would highly recommend!

Caroline’s cottage is beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable and lovely and peaceful as it is set back from the main road. Caroline kindly let us check in early which was perfect as it was the only nice day we had in the north and so were able to go out and enjoy the Moors. The surrounding area is beautiful and there are lots of extremely nice places to visit and great dining opportunities! As all the other visitors say, it is a fabulous place to stay and we would love to return if we are back in the area ! Thank you again Caroline !

The photos do not do the place justice - it is absolutely beautiful and so thoughtfully decorated. So much bigger than it looked online too and we had a great stay. The only issue we had was that the hot water stopped working mid way through the day. Elizabeth was super helpful and responsive to the problem but we had to be in Newcastle for early evening so it meant 6 of our party had to have freezing cold showers one day as the water took too long to come back on. Other than that, I can’t fault it. Surroundings are beautiful. So peaceful and yet close to shops, airport (25 mins), a gorgeous spa (matfen hall), and a 35 min minibus to Newcastle. Would recommend to all.

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.

Our second stay here as a family group of 5 and 1 dog. Beautiful views, peaceful surroundings couldn’t fault it. Comfortably furnished and a lovely balcony to enjoy the scenery from

I had a lovely time staying at Stanley Cottage. It is extremely comfortable and well equipped. Everything was as described and the location is brilliant for exploring the moors, very convenient for pubs and the cafe in Osmotherley and also very peaceful. Would definitely like to stay there again.

great place for a family getaway, there were 11 of us so the games room and hot tub were prefect. close enough to Barnard castle to go out for dinner, beautiful surroundings, what's not to like

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 had a lovely relaxing stay in this charming cottage in beautiful surroundings. Great for walking (better in sunshine, but even the rain didn't dampen our spirits!) Feels remote, but Cotherstone village is only 2 miles away - with the excellent Fox and Hounds for lunch! - and a walk in the other direction brings you to Hury reservoir (and a little further on Hannah's Meadow). Low Barn Cottage is equpped with everything you could possibly need, from the fab kitchen to the comfy beds! (The cottage is accessible for anyone with mobility needs with ramped access between kitchen and living room.) Plus there are lovely fresh eggs available to buy for breakfast. We didn't make use of the pool and gym but that option is available should you want more exercise than walking. We loved our stay here, our host Chris was friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend a stay at East Briscoe Farm Cottages.

A lovely property in a great location. The house is very comfortable with a well equipped kitchen and lovely bedroom. It is an ideal base for exploring this area of Northumberland, which is very attractive.(We were walking the northern stages of the Pennine Way.)

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

Lovely little cottage perfect for our half term getaway. The pool and hot tub were a lovely added bonus! The location and views are stunning. The cottage itself was beautifully clean, warm and cosy. Thank you very much for our stay, we will definitely look at staying again in the future.
