Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Durham

First Cottage was a wonderful place to stay. Great location (very quiet), clean, everything you could need and very homely. Janice was a great host and all instructions were clear. Great holiday, good value for money and would definitely recommend. Melanie.

The house was spotless with plenty of room downstairs for us. The main bedroom was large and lovely with an ensuite shower/ toilet. The other 2 bedrooms were smaller but perfect for our needs. All beds were very comfy. The kitchen/diner was VERY well stocked with everything thing we could have needed. Lovely welcome basket with fresh bread and milk with some goodies too and a fresh bag of coffee. Lots of little thoughtful extras, like books, games, doggy items, beach towels and a fab record player! We loved sitting in the garden in the morning and evening. Hardly noticed there were neighbours as it was very peaceful despite being a residential area. We loved our stay and if back in the area would definitely stay again. Thanks to our friendly host, Gary.

Really enjoyed my stay, Rosemary was very friendly and informative. Beautiful house, will be back! Thanks for everything!

My family and I really enjoyed staying at Jamie’s place. It was perfect for celebrating our newly graduated paratrooper… everything we needed was within reach and the property itself was beautiful…. 🤩🤩could not fault it.. 🥰

Lesley's property was like a home away from home, in a nice quiet location, perfectly situated to explore the wider Northumberland area. Many thanks 😊

Stayed for 1 night in advance of a university open day. All good for what we needed - easy parking, straight forward drive to the university, helpful host. Thanks very much.

Great house in a nice area. Had everything we needed for a home from home stay. Great host always on the end of the phone to help if needed. Would stay again. Thanks Dave and Fi

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!

A really nice flat with a nice view of the river. Great location and would thoroughly recommend!

We had such a great stay! The location is perfect with a mall across the street and lots of restaurants and shops. The host was very responsive which was nice because we got in later at night. The place was extremely clean which is super nice when on the road! I would definitely recommend!

This is a lovely stylish place in Jesmond, with everything a few minutes away. Great quality towels and sheets, very clean and Ben's communication was fast and excellent and he even made a video to run through some key points! Parking is great, and the nearest metro is under 10 mins walk. The light filled living room/kitchen is lovely and it was very quiet. Loved our break and will stay here again. Note - there are quite a few steps to get to the top but it's listed as a top floor flat.

We stayed here for a couple of weeks whilst working in the area. Parking is on the quiet street, and we always managed to park very close to the house. The house is as described, comfortable and has all the amenities required. Will stay again when working in the area.

Well appointed flat in a great location with free parking- few minutes walk from Durham centre. Spacious, light.

Had a great 2 night stay just me and my pooch Beryl, right on the beach, I took my camera and got some great shots on from the attic window, lovely beach walks and great food at granny Annie's where dogs are very welcome, will definitely stay again !!

Dean's apartment was clean, comfy and just as described. The location was perfect for us visiting relatives in the area. The metro is a short walk which gave easy access to the city centre. We would recommend Dean's apartment.

Really enjoyed our stay in Yvonne’s property. The flat was pristine, very spacious and the guidebooks and treats really made the difference. My mother and I would definitely return should we need accommodation in Newcastle again - thank you!

We are return visitors to The Lady Rhoda. A clean, stylish, welcoming house with everything you need. Very welcoming owner who leaves a lovely useful welcome pack. It is our first go-to when we come to visit family in the area and have altered dates in the past so we can stay here. Thank you Benjamin for another lovely stay

Spotlessly clean, very central location and with incredible views from all 3 large windows. The views are even better than the photos! Everything we needed was there, 2 minutes walk to some really great bars, cafes, restaurants and shops, and a short walk downhill to the beach, pier etc. We loved Saltburn, and we loved this beautiful apartment in the lovely Zetland building.

Fantastic location for a weekend with a 16month old. Spacious bedroom, good quality cot, comfortable living room, well equipped kitchen. Short walk through a nice park with a kids playground and small boating lake, to get to the large sandy beach and the start of a coastal walk. We had no car and manged this trip from London, getting a nice coastal bus to and from Sunderland to the place and a bus back from our coastal walk.

Had a fantastic stay at Kris’ place, what a little gem! Great area, loved walking in Jesmond Dene and a short distance to the city centre. The hot tub was a lovely luxury, but the property is amazing in itself, very well equipped, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We were staying with a young baby and it was really appreciated that the travel cot was there set up ready for us, we’d highly recommend and will definitely book again in the future if we’re in the area.

what a fantastic place to stay. immaculately clean, everything we needed, plus extra touches. great host, very quick to respond, went over and above to ensure our stay was perfect x

Fabulous apartment with beautiful sea views. Fantastic communication with our very welcoming host. We arrived to lots of special touches which helped us to feel at home from the start! Very comfortable accommodation. Private parking was a bonus. Would definitely book again!

This is our third or fourth time staying here. It was great as always. Thanks again.

Great location for visiting Hartlepool & the north east. Ken is really helpful - would definitely book again.
