House vacation rentals in County Durham

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

We loved our stay at Darlington!! The host was so responsive, everything went smoothly. 10/10 the hot tub was a great touch for both adults and kids! Would absolutely stay again!!!

Russell and Clare are great hosts who have created comfortable, well-appointed accommodation which is warm and cosy in winter and I imagine light and airy in summer. The beds were lush. The shower is great - powerful and consistent temperature. Eppleby is peaceful with walks from the cottage, a local shop & tea room - very friendly - and pub. It's a great location for exploring Richmondshire and Co. Durham. We had a relaxing short break at The Old Milk House and hope to return.

Lovely cottage for family of four and two labradors. Great location for walking in beautiful scenery. Michael and Fiona were excellent hosts. Not a single negative. Thanks very much

I live local to Kim's Airbnb only staying there while I was having building work done and needed a pet friendly home for 1week Been a local and have walked past this street many time and have always wanted to see inside....did not disappoint...thanks again Kim .. fabulous x

Absolutely beautifully home. We stayed here for a wedding in the area, the location is perfect, only a 4 minute walk and you're on the main highstreet. The house itself is on a quiet street with lots of on street parking available. It was completely spotless and so cosy. We absolutely loved the bread and snacks that were left for us, greatly needed after a long journey. it's beautifully decorated and has so many nice touches. Easy check in as well!

Wow! What a beautiful home! We stayed for two nights and didn’t have a single bad thing to say. We arrived to a bottle of Prosecco and biccies. The house was spacious yet cosy, and beautifully kept. The location was perfect for us as we spent the Friday afternoon at Barnard castle and the Saturday at Hugh force. Both were less than half an hours drive. There was biofuel for the fire, little touches like olive oil, salt pepper and garlic paste so you could cook with the same ease as you would at home. and all the radiators were electric so you could turn them off easy and turn them on by asking Alexa to set the heating to X degrees. I would honestly recommend this to anyone who will listen to me ramble on about how lovely this place was. And make sure you do low force waterfall if you like a little walk as high force waterfall you had to pay a few quid entry fee which we didn’t mind and thought was worth it but ended up preferring low force, and the walk to it from high force was stun!

This house was a real find. Very comfy, nice big sofas to lounge on and chat and as described. The location was great, a nice, short walk into the city centre with lots of fabulous restaurants and bars close by to pop into. My friends and I had a fabulous stay and highly recommend it. We would stay again.

Thank you Nathan for a lovely stay! The property was super clean and exactly as described/pictured. Check in/out was simple and Nathan was great at checking in on us during our stay. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely and clean house and beautiful views of Barnard Castle. Kate was brilliant with recommendations and quick to answer if I had a question. Lovely walks from the house. Would definitely stay again if we end up in Barnard Castle. My only point I wish I knew was that there is no black out curtains in the rooms so if you use to black out perhaps take an eye mask.

Such a beautiful place to stay - incredible views and so peaceful - just birdsong. The house was perfect - super comfy bed, well equipped kitchen, warm and clean. Thank you for the lovely bread too - such a nice touch. Would very much recommend.

Everything about Clare’s place was a wow - she had left a birthday card and bottle of wine for my friend and the cottage has everything you could need and more as well as being utterly spotless. Clare was super responsive and kept In contact throughout. Check in was so easy and she was flexible on check out as I had managed to book a work meeting for the exact check out time! The cottage is superbly located. Around 20mins from Beamish (highly recommend) and about 15mins from Durham (and a great Sainsburys and M&S - iykyk!). The cottage is beautifully finished with high quality fixtures and fittings. It’s peaceful despite being just set back from the road. The beds were so comfy and the master is huge! Everything was spotless from the kitchen to the bathroom and everything in between. The bathroom even has body wash etc and cotton buds in the bedroom - like a luxury hotel. Honestly could not recommend more. A very comfortable and enjoyable stay. I’d say a home from home but nicer!

We stayed at the cottage for a couple of nights and had an amazing time! The cottage itself is gorgeous and feels so cosy and homely. The decor is beautiful and the place was pristine. The large bathtub was a real stand out and worth booking the cottage for that and the log burner alone! Everything you could ever need is provided and we were so grateful for that. Any extras were available at a local small corner shop which was fab. We had a lovely couple of days away relaxing and have already recommended to a couple friends. We’d definitely come back again. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

We booked Gillie's place as a retreat while we had major refurbishment work in our home. We were attracted by the description of the garden haven and we weren't disappointed. The house was a bit like a Tardis. Unassuming from the frontage but with loads of space and a wonderful garden at the back. The position between Durham Moor and Framwellgate was perfect. Easily walkable into Durham city and with great amenities nearby. Parking was for three vehicles and the wifi and smart tv were super fast. The Airbnb was also great value for money compared to other Durham City properties. As a host Gillie would not have been more helpful and responded to emails through Airbnb very quickly. Definitely one of our best stays.

Very convenient to train station and city center (though lots of stairs if you have luggage). Well equipped and clean. Host responded promptly about small things that weren’t working. We would have loved to have salt and pepper available, but coffee, tea, biscuits were a nice touch.

Lovely spot for a family get away. House was just as described, amazing bathrooms and bedrooms, perfect garden for the dog. Lovely village and central for exploring the area - just what we needed.

Having travelled the world and stayed in multiple Airbnb, without a doubt this in fact, one of the best Airbnb I've used. From start to end, everything was perfect. I will surely stay here again.

Very spacious, well decorated, comfy beds, lining and towels. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. Very near Durham and lots of natural areas around. Donna was always very responsive and kind. Would definitely return!

Beautiful cottage, games area was great, really enjoyed ourselves. Hot tub was lovely and the garden area at back was secluded and well maintained. Loved the outdoor shower , great before getting in hot tub but also useful for hosing down a muddy dog. All in all the cottage felt really homely and a little bit of luxury. Emily seems to be a lovely host and always responded quickly to any queries. Will recommend her to friends and family and would certainly consider coming back.
