Guesthouse vacation rentals in River Tees

We had a great stay – the house was lovely and the hosts were incredibly welcoming. They kindly offered us a later checkout, which gave us a more relaxed morning. The location was ideal for visiting York, with the park and ride nearby making everything super convenient. Thank you for having us (and our energetic kids!) – much appreciated

We booked with Sara & Tom on a whim for a nearby Sunrise Solstice Swim, and from the moment we arrived, everything felt five-star. As soon as we pulled into the driveway, they greeted us so warmly and welcomed us into what truly felt like a little oasis. After our swim, breakfast was beautifully and perfectly timed. I barely touched my phone during our stay — the whole experience felt like a peaceful retreat, with just a hint of Downton Abbey charm. My favourite moment? Seeing Tom in his pink apron, playing the perfect host. It honestly felt like we had our very own butler at The Little Abode. I only wish we could’ve stayed longer. Thank you for the best stay ever!!

Perfect spot for visiting family in Seaham. Close to promenade, harbour and great selection of cafes/bars & restaurants nearby. Would happily return to No.16 and recommend to others 5*

Very condusive and homely. Lovely and peaceful environment

The place was small but cozy and directly on the walking trail and next door to a pub. The hot tub was a nice touch. Mandy was so responsive and helpful to every request.

Great sized room, clean and conveniently situated for the neabry harbour. Perfect for visiting our family in the local area. Thanks

We had a lovely stay! The room was clean and just what we needed, the pub was a lovely country pub with good food!

Very enjoyable stopover . All ready and clean and tidy . Lovely chip shop next door too.

Would give the cottage and Kitty, our host, a million stars if we could! From the beautiful landscape to the cozy cottage, we loved every minute of our stay. Kitty recommended lots of great restaurants and shops in nearby villages which we enjoyed checking out. Their are walking trails right off the property. We spotted all kinds of birds, deer, and loved the horses and cows nearby. The cottage is decorated so lovely and having a fire in the evening was such a comfort. It's very clean and supplied well with kitchen utensils, coffee, etc. We were genuinely sad to leave! We hope to be back soon, if Kitty will have us! Can't recommend a stay here enough, you will have a wonderful time!

Really enjoyed staying in the pod, the location is absolutely perfect and incredibly peaceful. Adam and Emma were great hosts and were really accommodating responding to any queries instantly. I would highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a relaxing get away.

Lovely hosts, great communication and fab house which looked exactly like the pictures, clean, spacious and very comfortable! We were 5 adults and 2 4yr olds, ample space for all of us. I’ll definitely be back when I’m next in the area. Thanks so much.

We stayed here for four nights, and wish we could have stayed longer! It's so peaceful and cosy. The cottage has everything you need, including beautiful views and a wonderful fireplace. An amazing place to relax and unwind. Warm rooms, a good shower, and a suntrap on the deck out front. There is good phone signal (and WiFi) if you need it, but it's a great place to be tech-free. Close to all of the Roman "attractions". Anne and Maurice were very friendly and welcoming. We will be recommending to friends!

It's always a pleasurable stay with everything I need!

Bulls Close is a wonderful Place and even more beautiful than we expected. We really enjoyed the beautiful Garden, the cosy cottage and all the little thoughtful details provided by Samantha. Austwick is the perfect location to explore the Dales- we recommend a tea in Faizor, the Malhalm Hike and the Ingleton Waterfall Trail. And a nice Pub Lunch with French-English Fusion cuisine and Patisserie in the local Pub.

We had a great stay. The garden was large and private, and even better than we expected from the photos in the listing The property was comfortable and spacious and had everything we needed

A perfect stay. Place is absolutely immaculate, beautifully decorated and presented. Lovely host. Would recommend and stay again. The photos looked great but it was even nicer once there. Great little kitchen with a helpful range of utensils. Well thought of. Great location to York and beautiful villages and surroundings. Great for exploring the Howardian hills. Wish we had found it sooner! A BIG thank you ☺️

Susie’s place was just what we needed for a relaxing few days away in the countryside. The space was big, with everything we needed, the photos do not do it justice. We had a huge comfortable bed and everything was spotless from top to bottom. We would highly recommend and would love to come back one day.

Great stay at Little Winton, ideally located for our visit to the area, delightful, beautifully presented property. Super hosts, highly recommend.

Such a beautiful & peaceful place, great bed & bedding, I wish I could have stayed longer.

Graeme and Helen’s place is a wonderful place to stay. We stayed for a couple of nights with our dog and it was perfect. Lovely area for our dog to safely roam around and a massive paddock area also available to us. The place is spacious and well laid out and has everything you need with additional goodies thrown in. We didn’t use the hot tub but it looked lovely and sure would be a lovely place to be in an evening. Would recommend for anyone to stay and we will look to come back again!

lovely getaway to lollybogs cottage, lovely sunset views from the hot tub. Sarah is very friendly and proactive when booking, she even left a few gifts for our group after finding out it was a celebration for my sister's small group of bridesmaid with one week to go for the wedding, this was a lovely special touch. Spacious rooms and beds are very comfy. I am sure we will find an excuse to be back again in the future.

The accommodation was perfect for my requirements and the host was very helpful. Highly recommend this accommodation to anyone working away from home

We enjoyed a wonderful week at Swallows Byre. Dorothy and Nigel are such warm, welcoming and helpful people. The house is homely, clean, comfortable and well equipped and the view from the terrace and garden simply beautiful. We would love to stay again sometime. There's something very special about Swaledale.

I would like to thanks both David and Carolyn for your excellent hospitality and kindness, we were able to stay quite a while as we were between buying houses… I would strongly recommend staying at the cottage… lots to do around the beautiful surroundings.. well informed and relaxing … we will be back Thank you
