Family-friendly vacation rentals in Tyne and Wear

We had an incredible experience staying at Billy's property! From the moment we arrived, Billy was an outstanding host, making sure everything was perfectly in place and ready for our arrival. The house was spacious and easily accommodated all 6 of us with plenty of room to spare. One of the highlights of our stay was being greeted with freshly baked blueberry muffins – a thoughtful and delicious touch that made us feel right at home. The house had all the amenities we needed, making it feel just like our own home. We particularly enjoyed the private access to the property and the hot tub, which was a great way to unwind after a day of exploring. We’ll definitely be returning and have already recommended this place to our friends and family. Thanks again, Billy, for such a memorable stay! Kind regards, The Brice’s

We had the best weekend staying here - the place was lovely, had absolutely everything you need, with Christmas decorations giving it a lovely touch! Karen was very helpful and communicative making the experience even better and easier Perfect location for a cosy quiet weekend away - will be back x

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!

This house was absolutely stunning. It was well worth the money we paid. We had 12 guests for a Hen Do and we had plenty of room. The hot tub was wonderful and warm, even if February. The view was stunning as were the rooms. Each room was beautifully decorated, including a stunning shower and bath. Hosts communicated clearly and responded quickly when I had questions. Would definitely return and recommend!

What a perfect place to stay with all of the family from 11 months to 80+yrs of age. Accessibility for my mum was excellent with walk in showers and sofa chairs easy to get in and out of. A travel cot and high chair provided for the youngest member of the family. A dishwasher including the tablets along with a fully equipped kitchen, plastic glasses for use in the hot tub ideal with a glass of wine or too. Our two dogs enjoyed lots of walks and it was brilliant that the garden was fully enclosed and safe for them too. Sarah the host was lovely nothing was too much trouble, little touches like jigsaws and board games where available and the barn had been decorated for Christmas to make you feelst home. The barn was in a beautiful location with lots of walks and a local pub ( booking is essential). If your into astronomy go to Grassholme Observatory I learnt so much and the dark skies are awesome. We had a lovely New Years break and would highly recommended Sunrise Barn for families.

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

Fantastic cottage and location is to die for. I have got to say David and Barbara have a jewel here. Claire has communicated everything we needed and answered every question we had. Again fantastic. Highly recommend this place. Thanks and hope to return

we had a lovely stay. Patricia allowed us to check in early as we had an early flight and she extended our check out which was great with 3 young kids. Her house was very clean and in a great location. Lots of great restaurants in walking distance. There was a bottle of Prosecco left for us which was a lively surprise and the kids loved collecting the eggs from the chickens and making for breakfast. Would definitely recommend.

We had such a lovely stay in Whitley bay. The house was perfect for us as a young family. Such a lovely downstairs open plan space and we really appreciate the toys left out for our little ones. All the amenities we needed. We had a few requests and these were accommodated and communication was quick. The house was in the perfect location for us - we hardly used the car and walked everywhere with so many good places to eat and get coffee on the doorstep. We just had the best week. Thank you to Jacqui and her family for lending us their home.

I had a very pleasant stay here, it felt like home straight away. Very clean , comfortable and the area was nice and quiet. Joanne is an amazing host , occasionally saying hi and having a nice conversation with me. I felt really happy here and will be staying again ! 100% would recommend as a peaceful and elegant getaway ! If you like nature and sunshine , Joanne’s garden is the place to be and Jesmond Dene just being a stone throw away for the perfect nature walk.

Very enjoyable stay. Close to Durham. Light modern space in the second floor. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable living space.

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.

A great little find. Very close to all of the amenities and attractions. The flat was spacious and all the beds were so comfortable. Communication with Rosy was fabulous from booking to leaving. Our top five attractions/things to do are: Souter Lighthouse tour (National Trust), Haven Point swimming pool, Marine Park & Train ride, Minchellas ice cream (don’t leave Shields without trying one) and of course the fairground. We have had a great time. Looking forward to visiting again. 😊

The flat was warm and cosy on arrival and remained so despite the January weather. The welcome gift was a lovely touch. The front windows caught the winter sun all day, with great views over the Tyne. It was comfortable, relaxing and quiet, just what was needed. The location is excellent for all the village amenities and for the metro station, perfect for trips out to the wider Tyneside area with its wide variety of interesting places. The acid test is whether we'd go again - the answer is a resounding yes.

We loved our stay at this fabulous cottage. Such a peaceful location and wonderful views. We appreciated the welcome pack and dog-friendly touches. Responsive hosts. Highly recommend!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful house with us! Fiona was super helpful and everything was as described. In a lovely area with some really nice walks and around 30 mins walk from city centre. Would highly recommend

A lovely apartment just on the edge of Gateshead/Newcastle with an easy 15/20 minute walk into town. Great location if you’re looking to go into Newcastle town as you don’t even need to use a taxi but you can for 5minute journey plus there’s easy access to large supermarket too. The only negative would be the water pressure in the building, which isn’t the fault of the owners so I can’t fault them and there’s still enough pressure so I can’t fault the place

Credit where it’s due, the house was super comfy and located a short walk into town. The Host, Munro was always avatars came to see us when we couldn’t quite grasp what he meant. Nothing was too much trouble. Thoroughly recommend this house if you’re in the area.

Carla's house is a gorgeous house of dreams... really gorgeous especially if you like period properties like the little geeks we are. We were a little unsure of how it would be staying the the cellar of someone's house especially as we have a very vocal 18 month old but it was really private and didn't feel strange at all. Carla went the extra mile by providing a fridge full of essential food (and a little bottle of Prosecco), had a selection of toys for our little boy and had loads of great local recommendations. Thank you for a lovely stay :)

My work colleague and I needed a place for 4 weeks of work in Newcastle, and Thomas’ place was perfect. Great amenities, well equipped kitchen, with a dining table, lots of space upstairs, effectively we had a floor and bathroom each. The centre of town is only a 20 mins walk. Thomas was a superb host. It’s a charming home. Thanks so much.

Really spacious and great location. The flat had everything we needed and was perfect for the stay. Tesco was nearby and very reasonably priced. thanks

Lovely apartment Gaynor was very helpful

We were staying up there for my Sons wedding , then we stayed on a little over Christmas to see the children . The Ubers are amazing and I just downloaded the app ‘Uber eats ‘ as well and they can do a shop for you from the Coop ,Sainsbury’s and Tesco and more . Uber travel was very good and reasonable . Area of house is great for Newcastle , Durham or Bernard castle area . Rooms are a good size , beds comfortable. Walking for elderly parents was nice and they increased their fitness immensely , as the fresh air has helped them along with the trips to the countryside which is all around . Very Clean throughout . Comfy sofa and large chair. Great for a family . Garden is enclosed and very safe . Rachel has been a very kind host , and fast to respond to any querys , I would recommend the area and the home , the locals are friendly and there’s a Tesco express which has a bit of everything , in walking distance . Warm and welcoming, banister on stairs plenty of cupboards . A*
