Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Durham

A very clean, cosy, and charming cottage—actually even more delightful in person than the photos suggest. Peaceful surroundings and beautiful scenery make it a perfect getaway. Janice was very helpful and responsive to my questions. Excellent experience! Also the welcoming packet of biscuits worked miracles for getting the children in a very positive mood! Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful stay in Gary's house. It is a quiet, peaceful neighborhood with just a few minutes by foot to reach the sea. The modern interior of the house has all the comfort you need and Gary went above and beyond to make it childproof and adjust to our needs. We would come back any time. Thank you :-)

Lovely and homely, loved the full equipped kitchen and the location was great, thank you for letting us stay

Lovely spacious, clean and quiet house. Perfect for our family stay. Very comfy beds and well appointed kitchen. We were 5 adults and fitted us perfectly. Huge telly and nice sofa. Fast wifi and responsive host. Would defo stay here again and recommend both the lovely modern house and very responsive hosts.

Lovely accommodation, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Was a great location for us.

Lovely house, parked right outside (on the road), good kitchen & utensils, great tv, WiFi good, clean comfortable bedding, plenty of shops nearby/short drive. Thank you Liz!

For a single mum I found the place perfect the beach’s omg with real sand that is a must , this place amazing was a home from home but with loads of bench’s and felt like a Holiday also , the owner also amazing I made a little mistake and she was nothing but helpful kind and caring which as a single mum means the world when booking , I will be back for sure as my son and dogs loved the bench’s I loved the bath and cosy feel the place gave me , x

Huge house which was ideal for us. Great host who was happy to help. We didn’t spend much time there as visiting family In The area. Thank you Vicky.

Comfortable flat within easy walk of Ouseburn, Quayside and Byker Metro Great view of Tyne. Flat was spotless and Clive was a very responsive host Would recommend

We had such a great stay! The location is perfect with a mall across the street and lots of restaurants and shops. The host was very responsive which was nice because we got in later at night. The place was extremely clean which is super nice when on the road! I would definitely recommend!

Had a very comfortable stay. The host was very helpful. The location was perfect for restaurants, shopping and near the town centre and good local transport. I have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation.

I recently moved back to South Shields and stayed here whilst searching for a permanent rental and would highly recommend! The apartment looked exactly like the pictures, was spotless throughout and had all amenities you could need. The location was ideal; walking distance to the centre of South Shields as well as the beach with shops and restaurants on the doorstep, yet extremely peaceful inside. The bed was extremely comfortable. Colin made my stay great, he responded quickly throughout and even had the heating on before I arrived so the apartment was cosy when I got there. I ended up extending my stay privately with him. Couldn’t recommend more!

Had a great 2 night stay just me and my pooch Beryl, right on the beach, I took my camera and got some great shots on from the attic window, lovely beach walks and great food at granny Annie's where dogs are very welcome, will definitely stay again !!

Dean's apartment was clean, comfy and just as described. The location was perfect for us visiting relatives in the area. The metro is a short walk which gave easy access to the city centre. We would recommend Dean's apartment.

I cannot state enough how friendly and accommodating Yvonne was! Great communication and amazing flat. Everything was spotlessly clean and so warm and comfortable, we felt right at home! Will definitely be returning to stay with these hosts! Thankyou so much ❤️

This was the third (or maybe the fourth??) time my family has stayed in Sophie’s lovely place, and each time they always feel so at home! Communication is super-clear at all times, and the welcome pack is so appreciated. The kitchen was incredibly well set-up for cooking Christmas dinner, too!

Another fantastic stay! Great host with clear communication. Perfect location to explore Northumberland. Comfortable and clean with added extras like milk, bread, jams and biscuits which were really appreciated. Would definitely recommend!

We had a great few days at Donna’s place. The photos of the apartment don’t do it justice, and the views are spectacular. The Zetland Building is such a beautiful piece of Victorian architecture and was quiet and warm. Saltburn is a lovely seaside town with lots of restaurants and shops Highly recommended

Had a lovely weekend at Caroline's place. Apartment couldn't have been in a better position right next to Ocean Rd and a short stroll to 2 parks, the beach and the pleasure beach and in the opposite direction not far from the shopping centre and metro station which you can easily travel around the area from. Caroline was a great host and was always quick to respond to messages i sent her and even let us check in early and leave late which was a really nice gesture. The apartment was warm, large and very cosy and clean and had everything we could need for a comfortable stay. All in all a lovely place to stay!

Lovely place to stay. Very clean and tidy. Nice area and very quiet, garden and hot tub were very private. Has everything and more that we needed. Paid for decorations for birthday party and it was above expectations. Left a little treat for the dog too which was lovely. Would 100% recommend, and would go again.

The Beach Hideaway was perfect for my stay. Provided all that was necessary plus parking which is a must in Whitley Bay. Ideally situated to walk most local places. Ideal for a short stay, host close at hand and ensured everything was available. 👍🏻

Lynn communicated promptly from the moment of booking (and during our stay), making us aware of everything we needed to know. Only stayed two nights but really enjoyed our short break. Lovely accommodation & ideal for access to beach & sea front for long walks in the sunshine (or runs/bike rides if you prefer). Beautiful views from the accommodation & plenty of places to go & things to do ... without needing the car. Thanks for having us.

Great location with lots or restaurants and cafes within a 5 min walk, with Gosforths busy high street at the end of the Avenue. Good transport links with lots of buses into the city centre and two Metro stations within a 10 min walk, opening up access to the whole of the North East. The flat is warm and comfortable and well equipped, and will be where we stay whenever we visit Newcastle in future. Thank you Cat for a perfect week.

Ken was a great host, the apartment was as described and it was lovely to see supplies in the kitchen if needed. Fresh milk was a lovely touch. Plenty of towels, no issues with hot water. A great find and would definitely stay again when visiting family. Lovely to look out over the marina.
