Family-friendly vacation rentals in Newcastle

This was a last minute few days away, and what a find, so peaceful, I loved the garden, could just potter about in it all day, huge fish pond so relaxing . Little slice of heaven. We have 2 pugs one very very anxious, Nicola was so understanding. Hot tub was a wonderful bonus. Definitely recommend this place, in such a lovely area and walking distance to the beach .

stayed at Caroline's to celebrate a friend's upcoming nuptials. We enjoyed all the amenities, hosting yoga on the astro, an evening in the hot tub and a dance class on the patio. we ate in with some catering and the basics were all there with lies of kitchenware. Caroline had very kindly set up an afternoon tea for our arrival which was a delightful surprise.

Hugh's house was stunning I really enjoyed my stay here would love to come back again. The place was so clean and the kitchen is beautiful, he had everything in that you would need. The outdoor area was private and quiet, it was a blessing to sit outside and have a coffee in the morning. I messaged him questions about the hot tub and he was very responsive and easy to follow with his instructions. A brilliant house and location, Thanks Hugh!

An excellent cottage and location for a family get-away. The cottage has a wonderful view and all of the comforts necessary for a restful break. For us, the hot-tub really made the place stand out.

We had the perfect getaway with friends in this beautiful house by the sea. We were 4 adults and 3 young children and there was plenty of space for us all. There are lots of stairs which were difficult at times for the younger ones. But that didn’t take away from our stay. We got the hot tub which we thoroughly enjoyed once the kids were in bed. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely beautiful surroundings and a beautiful house. The smell as soon as you enter is lovely, just like a sauna with all the cedar wood. The view is beautiful, and the hot tub was super. The house is close to all the activities, a 5 min drive to everything. Thanks Pearl for a lovely stay!

Myself and my husband had a lovely stay. Just what we needed to relax. Beautifully clean pod, with fresh milk, cereal etc for the next morning. We would highly recommend and will most definitely be back.

We had a wonderful stay, we brought our 2 dogs and all thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Aileen is a superb host, always on hand to answer any questions or just have a quick chat. We enjoyed watching the horses and chickens being attended to throughout the day and the hot tub was a lovely way to end the days after walking along the beach or hiking in the mountains. 100% recommend

Lorna is a fantastic host, very responsive, with great attention to detail. The house is beautiful, ideally located within walking distance of Portrush and Portstewart and includes all the necessary components to instantly make you feel right at home. This was our first trip away with our 6 month old and Lorna’s house and hosting was major factor in us having a wonderful time. We can’t wait to return.

perfect location. The apartment had everything that we needed. Will definately book again. cannot recommend it highly enough

We had an unexpected family emergency and find this jam. Family had to travel in from a couple of different countries and the host was so flexible and so helpful. We love this place and will stay here again. Great views great space for having to work clean functional a hidden jam. Thanks so much.

Great stay in a very well equipped apartment. A bit outside the city centre but with enough (mainly non-European) food options in walking distance. But buss is around the corner, and an Uber is around 10 pound. Communication was perfect and always quick and easy! Highly recommendable accommodation

Such a lovely clean and modern cottage! We felt very comfortable and well looked after! Thank you to the hosts and would some back for sure!

wow what can I say. we had an amazing stay the property is so central to get everywhere and it was great to be able to walk to restaurants and bars in the evening. the house was a home from home with everything you could ask for and more. would totally recommend

Our family had a fantastic 5-night stay at "The Bank" in Portaferry! The location couldn’t have been better – right in the heart of the town. What made our stay truly special was the heritage charm of the property. So many details still reflect its history as an old bank, and that unique character really added to the experience. We especially loved the cosy fireplace, which made those cold, dark winter evenings feel warm and inviting. Plus, everything in Portaferry was just a short walk away, making it super convenient to explore the area. Having a Eurospar right across the street was such a bonus too! We absolutely enjoyed our time here and would recommend "The Bank" to anyone looking for a memorable and comfortable stay.

We had such an amazing stay :) The cottage was absolutely perfect! We really enjoyed our time on the beach and exploring the local area. It was the ideal location for family bonding. We cannot wait to return! Thanks to Judith for answering any extra questions I had & for giving clear instructions for our stay:)

Thank you for a great stay Ruth, great location nice and quite but not to far from the town. Had everything we needed to get started on our stay until w expulsions go shopping. Thanks again. Will go back.

Communication was great, local recommendations for food and drinks. Lovely shops, cafes on your doorstep and we walked into City Centre every day. Great wee place to stay

Felt safe. Easy walk to city central. Outstanding large floor to ceiling window views of the river. Quiet and lovely ☺️

Marcool Cottage impresses with its great location by the sea. You can go directly to the beach and have a wonderful view of the sea from the living room. In addition, it is very tastefully decorated.

Perfect location, great scenery overlooking Strangford Lough and ferry dock, with nice seafront walks. Kate met us at the accommodation and went through everything. Very responsive and communicated well. We wouldn’t hesitate to go back! Thank you Kate!

The Beach Cottage was a fantastic stay for our family. Anne is a great host, very accommodating, helpful and friendly! The view from the cottage is beautiful and it’s just a few short steps to the beach. Lots to do in the surrounding area and a quick drive to the Mournes. We would definitely stay again!

Beautiful, peaceful, rural retreat close to everything. Very well equipped kitchen, modern and clean. We had everything we needed and Margaret and John were lovely hosts. Thanks again.

what a great place to stay. super host, super place to stay
