Family-friendly vacation rentals in Newbiggin-by-the-Sea

Honeymug provided the perfect backdrop for our group of six meeting up to reminisce about college days forty odd years ago! The cottage was comfortable and cosy and the welcome basket of goodies was indeed most welcome! Very comfortable beds to sleep off the long, coastal walks and swims in the indoor pool. We ate in The Bosk on our last evening and enjoyed it very much, having sampled the Friday evening pizzas too! Everyone was a fan of the outdoor jacuzzi, which we booked each evening and whirled away an hour chatting to the various local members we shared it with! Everyone was so friendly and we learned a lot about the area. Highlights were our boat trip to Inner Farne, an afternoon with the Chillingham cattle, and a day spent on the beautiful and peaceful Lindisfarne. We left feeling there was so much else to discover and we'll hope to be back to do just that! Many thanks John!

A fab spot to stop on the Hadrians walk. The space was spotless, filled with little extras like biscuits and fruit and the hot tub was very much welcomed! Mandy was super responsive and helpful too.

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.

lovely spot in Amble. clean and spacious property, clear instructions and friendly and responsive hosts. Great base for exploring Northumberland. would recommend the Wednesday quiz or the Thursday bingo (bingo also on sundays) at the Masons Arms which is a 2 minute walk from the house. the landlord, landlady and locals were all really welcoming and friendly.

Lovely cabin, lovely setting within a beautiful park, lovely little walk aroun the lake. Very dog friendly park which was lovey. Very nice hottub. Had everything you might need! Lots of things to do nearby if you have a car, and right next to the zoo.

What a gem of a place! The listing was exactly what was in the tin! The hosts are top-notch and have put a lot of thought and effort into their property and guests' expectations. A well thought out welcome pack for both humans and dogs. There are 7 different areas of seating around the property and grounds all with fabulous views and so you can watch the wide variety of wildlife. When we say the place was clean, it was spotless including the hot tub. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and user friendly. Plenty of books, DVD's, games, puzzles, maps and toiletries. Well recommended.

An excellent, clean property well located for our visit to the Northumberland coast. The site itself was very clean and safe for our grandchildren to play. Vickie was a responsive host who was always quick to answer our questions. The only drawback was poor WiFi and issues with connecting to 4G at times. However this did not spoil our stay one bit. Thank You

Great lodge in a convenient location. The lodge was well equipped with everything we needed, bedding and hand towels provided were lovely and clean. Self check in was really easy with instructions provided before arrival. Thank you for an enjoyable stay!

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.

Really nice apartment for a few days away. On a street right in the middle of town, so restaurants and the Abbey are practically on the doorstep, but it was also quiet. Easy to find and to get in. Lovely flat with all the facilities you need for cooking, etc.

Great place for 2 reasons, very clean and comfortable house and amazing location. 20min walk to Embleton Bay, right behind the Dunstable Hotel if you fancy s drink or a meal, 5 min walk to the local Village shop or 15 min drive to a main supermarket. Electric car station 5 minutes walking.

This cottage is amazing, a real home from home. It has everything you need. Penny’s welcome pack was a real treat too. Location is perfect, really close to shops and restaurants and just a short stroll to the beach. Penny’s communications were brilliant, always proactive and really clear with instructions and recommendations. Will definitely be back

Had a great stay at marks place spotless quiet and close to all amenities. Would stay again

Ellen was a fantastic host. Made me and my children feel really welcome. The house was large & very clean, ellen was on hand to help if needed. Would highly recommend & will be sure to stay again next time im up. Thank you very much Ellen. From jamie and the kids

Loved our stay in this idealist location , almost perfect - for the size of place and price paid I think a dishwasher could be purchased! But a small suggestion really otherwise great place

Had a lovely stay here. Great location in the centre of the village but still peaceful. The house had everything we needed. Very friendly staff on the hotel reception. We would love to come back.

Lovely cosy quiet cottage with good garden space to sit out and for dogs to play . Fabulous location minutes from the beach . Spotlessly clean , comfy bed , good shower , and the tea, coffee , milk etc on arrival a thoughtful touch . Alison was a lovely host , friendly and helpful .

Myself and two friends stayed at Pam and Julie’s house on a visit back to Sunderland where we studied a LONG time ago. The house was great. It was a good size for the three of us; the bedrooms were clean and tidy, everything was easy to find and the conservatory was great for breakfast as we managed to visit when it was sunny! It is also so quiet! I chose the house as well because it is a good walk along the river/sea to the shops/beach at Seaburn, and only about 20 minutes into town the other way. Communication was excellent before and after our stay. I would certainly recommend the house if staying in Sunderland. (It is also next to the Glass Centre, but be aware that this is due to close (sadly) in 2026.)

What a gem! Perfect location, beautiful house which has everything you could need. Lovely little touches everywhere which make it so homely. Jenny was so helpful & quick to respond to messages. Would highly recommend.

Great location. A really cosy country retreat. Very well appointed kitchen...equipped for real cooking! Very responsive hosts before & during our stay. Lots of helpful pre-visit information supplied, especially good places to eat like the Fish Shack at Amble & The Angler's Arms in Weldon - both dog and dog owner friendly!

Great place to stay, a 1-2 minute walk to the beautiful beaches. The house was clean and well equipped and was really spacious, especially downstairs. We appreciated the large sofas and kitchen with good space to sit and eat. The main bedroom had a good, comfy bed and the two single rooms have a view of the sea. Great to have towels, tea towel, washing up stuff and basics like oil and salt/pepper provided. The only thing to note is that there is a high-level frosted window between the bathroom and one of the single bedrooms, meaning that the light from the bathroom shines into that room. The house is opposite the pub but was quiet so didn't really notice. Newbiggin is a lovely place to stay, I'd would definitely stay here again if we visit again.

Really enjoyed our stay, very peaceful and quiet location. Lots of places to visit nearby. Cottage was well equipped & very comfortable.

Excellent house, just a few minutes walk from Jesmond Dene. Well equipped and beautifully decorated. Lovely comfy beds and sofa. We really enjoyed sitting out in the sunny garden having our breakfast! Thank you!

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.
