Family-friendly vacation rentals in Hartlepool

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

Very comfortable w/e in an immaculate and well appointed property. So close to Staithes yet out of the hustle and bustle with views across open countryside. Would definitely rebook.

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!)

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.

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 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.

Great place with amazing views!

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!

Lovely flat in a fabulous location. Ground floor had the advantage of a lovely front garden area - shame we didn’t have any sunshine! John was great he communicated with us throughout our stay and his instructions for check in were clear and concise., Only thing I missed was the kitchen area had very few baking trays for the oven. We did nip out and buy a couple from the nearby Morrisons so we could cook a couple of pizzas. Easily solved and not a huge problem. I would recommend this flat, fabulous!

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.

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

Lyn’s cottage is so incredibly cozy, warm, and the most private little oasis you can ask for. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, the rooms were comfortable, the little courtyard was lovely, and Lyn was so welcoming and easy to chat to. This location was perfect for visiting Durham and Newcastle and we would stay here again in a heartbeat!

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.

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.

The surroundings are so beautiful and peaceful, we were immersed in nature. This is a really special place, after a week there we felt more relaxed than we have been in years. It is a very healing and restorative experience to spend a week here, surrounded by moors and forests, hearing the owls at night, seeing the stars and just feeling utterly joyful to be alive. The house is also very well stocked, a fantastic kitchen with everything you need to cook great meals, comfy beds, nice hot water and even a laundry room. Lovely walks in every direction and so much to explore. If you feel exhausted and burnt out and need time to recover, this is the answer!

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

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!

Sarah is by far the best host we have ever had. we have used Air b and b for 5 years. Sarah is very accomadating to any issue arising and communicates very well. Saltburn is a lovelly place to go and the house is within a few minutes walk into the centre so very convenient We have been 4 times and always a pleasure to stay at her house.
