Family-friendly vacation rentals in County Durham

Lovely, clean and nice and central. Munro was very responsive and helpful throughout. Would recommend a stay here.

Pear tree cottage was a completely stress free holiday. From the guided tour at the start of our holiday to the convenience of the hot tub whenever we liked. The other cottages were occupied but we didn’t see or hear any of our neighbours. Parking was ample two cars easy and the other driveways looked just as big. The kitchen is well equipped as were the two bathrooms. The sunrises we experienced were exceptional, looking out of either the double doors in the lounge or the double doors in the master bedroom. The highlight was the hot tub. Spacious, convenient, well lit and powerful. Again we were lucky to have two completely cloudless nights, star gazing like never before. The beds were a little hard but actually gave a great nights sleep. We shall definitely look to book again!

Beautiful place so relaxing just what we needed as a family to regroup and recharge our batteries. Very well equipped with all the essentials made use of the washing machine and airer and ironing board and iron. Great wfi. Hot tub was lovely and the veiws from it.

The photos don’t do this place justice. It really is beautiful. Quaint, spacious, clean and tidy. Plenty of facilities such as vac, mop, washing machine, dryer, cleaning products etc. Kitchen is a lovely space to all sit together. Bedrooms were very spacious and room for clothes etc. Lovely nights sleep in comfortable beds. Central heating worked a treat with log fire in the room (we didn’t need to use) including other heaters. It is lovely and warm and cosy. The views and surrounding areas are lovely. We used the hot tub which was a lovely addition and worked well been outside the conservatory part. We were a family group of mixed ages and we would absolutely stay here again. Host was great with contact prior to arrival with flexible check in/out. Overall a brilliant stay and we’ve also said we would return.

Brilliant stay.. so peaceful and spacious inside and out! Really well equipped and huge hot tub that is actually hot :) Will definitely stay again!

We had a fantastic stay. The cottage was exactly what we wanted, in a great location with lots to do. The enclosed garden was perfect for the dog and very private. We will be back soon.

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

Claire was the best host. The house is great and she even left nice muffins as a welcome. Super lovely and would definitely recommend.

We stayed here over Christmas and what an amazing treat it was! An incredible place to stay anyway (the most wonderful building and magnificently restored, completely safe for the dogs, stunning grounds and surroundings, every last thing had been thought of) but the extra festive touches were great. Will definitely book again.

Beautiful location, very warm welcome from Jenna. Communication was fantastic from booking to leaving with really useful local info provided - highly recommend Sunday dinner at The Derwent Arms Fantastic breakfast too with local produce - lovely stay!

We loved our stay at the cottage. Peter and his family were kind hosts, allowing free access to the beautiful grounds at their property. Our puppy loved being able to chase the resident dog (Betty) around the secure garden, a first for her! The cottage is immaculate and even nicer than the photos. The location was perfect for quiet long walks, remaining unspoiled from tourism. It really was lovely and we’d love to come back.

A beautiful peaceful spot surrounded by beautiful countryside and views. We particularly loved the field with the horse behind the house. Beautifully decorated. Comfy beds. Well equipped kitchen.

A beautiful retreat in a beautiful part of the world. A great place for a meeting amongst friends. Plenty of space, extra blankets for cold nights and a fire to keep warm. An amazing authentic experiences which was loved by all of us. This was a place to remember. Thanks.

Lynnes property was such a great find. It offered us (four adults, two children, one dog), such a great place to base ourselves for our week away. The house is much bigger than it looks in the photos and it has everything you need including loads of useful items for small children (toys, plates/ bowls, toilet seat etc.). We definitely recommend Lynnes place.

Great little cottage in a beautiful village. We knew the place well already. It's a short stroll to a couple of great pubs and restaurants. The place itself was warm, cosy, and quiet. Comfy beds. Would definitely book again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we felt at home from the day we arrived. The cottage was perfect for our extended stay (a month) and we will fondly remember our time in the cottage, Frosterley and the Weardale and North Pennines area. Our hosts were very friendly, laid back and made us feel wonderfully relaxed during our stay. The cottage was warm, comfortable and well appointed and ideal for our needs. We would definitely recommend River View Cottage and the other accommodation in the courtyard to family and friends and we would definitely consider returning in the future for another break.

great place for a family getaway, there were 11 of us so the games room and hot tub were prefect. close enough to Barnard castle to go out for dinner, beautiful surroundings, what's not to like

West Cottage perfect for a family of 4 with 2 boys, looking to get out into the countryside and explore the area. Beautiful location, photos don’t do it justice, surrounded by green hills, sheep and with a brook below the garden. We were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves which meant we could use the wave machine, hot tub and games room whenever we wanted after days out. Also enjoyed having our meals out on the lawn. Cottage had all we needed, comfy beds and kitchen well-equipped.

We had a lovely relaxing stay in this charming cottage in beautiful surroundings. Great for walking (better in sunshine, but even the rain didn't dampen our spirits!) Feels remote, but Cotherstone village is only 2 miles away - with the excellent Fox and Hounds for lunch! - and a walk in the other direction brings you to Hury reservoir (and a little further on Hannah's Meadow). Low Barn Cottage is equpped with everything you could possibly need, from the fab kitchen to the comfy beds! (The cottage is accessible for anyone with mobility needs with ramped access between kitchen and living room.) Plus there are lovely fresh eggs available to buy for breakfast. We didn't make use of the pool and gym but that option is available should you want more exercise than walking. We loved our stay here, our host Chris was friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend a stay at East Briscoe Farm Cottages.

Excellent we enjoyed it very much. We definitely will be back. Highly recommended.

Booked a last minute break. Studio cottage was lovely, clean and fresh. Swimming pool and hot tub were a nice touch. Thank you

Lovely little cottage perfect for our half term getaway. The pool and hot tub were a lovely added bonus! The location and views are stunning. The cottage itself was beautifully clean, warm and cosy. Thank you very much for our stay, we will definitely look at staying again in the future.
