Cottage vacation rentals in Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead

Really cosy place, awesome decor and a huge bed. Would love to visit in winter to make use of the fireplaces (the weather was too good this weekend!) Hot tub was great and pizza oven fantastic. Thanks for having us!

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.

A lovely place to stay! Host was very helpful and friendly. Had an amazing field nearby for kids and dogs. Would recommend!

We had an absolute wonderful two-night stay at this cottage! It's lovely, spotlessly clean, and incredibly well-equipped with everything you could need. The welcome gifts were a delightful surprise, and the hosts were so friendly and quick to respond to all our messages. The location is perfect, just a short few minutes drive to the beach. What truly stood out was their amazing hospitality: we accidentally left something behind, and they sent it to us via next-day delivery without hesitation. We can't recommend this place enough!

Spent 3 lovely peaceful days here! The place is spotless. Easy to check in, but quite a late one for standard check in times. Even with surrounding neighbours there was minimal disturbance.

Back at Ivy Cottage again, we had another great stay. We love the hut tub and pool table, and plenty of space for everyone. Thanks Jane.

We spent the weekend at Gill’s beautiful cottage and it could not have been any better. The cottage was perfect in every way and we couldn’t have felt anymore at home. The cottage itself was gorgeous and extremely well kept and the views across the fields were stunning. Gill was a great host and went above and beyond to make our trip one to remember. We would recommend this to anyone and were certainly come back again in the future.

Beautifully furnished barn. Smelt amazing. Easy check in. Peaceful surroundings.

The studio was ideally located for me to stay while attending a family funeral. Peaceful and private, ideal.

Great comfortable and clean home in a very quiet street close to all amenities and ideal for exploring Northumberland the hosts were very responsive and we had a fabulous time and would definitely go back again

Nick's house was easy to find, very clean and tidy. Excellent information on how and when we could get in. Close to the sea front with all the restaurants you could need. I would definitely visit again.

We had a lovely stay! The place was tidy, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. We did experience a couple of minor issues, like some sockets not working and a brief problem with the hot water boiler. However, the host was extremely helpful and quick to respond, and everything was sorted out promptly. Really appreciated the support — it made all the difference. Would happily recommend this place to others!

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.

Spent a lovely few days at Vanessa’s place. Had absolutely everything that you would be looking for. The garden was magnificent, games and table tennis for a children and a beautiful area to relax in for the adults. Vanessa was so welcoming and responsive to any questions we had. Great to be able to charge the car too. Thanks Vanessa!

We stayed overnight to break a journey and the Henhouse was perfect to rest in after a long drive and busy work day. It felt like we turned a corner and found ourselves looking at a lovely view with a nice village feel. Local pub was good for drinks and really well priced but food not to our taste so we drove into Durham for a Turkish meal. Good vibe in the Arkasu . We didn’t meet John and communicated only for instructions as everything we needed was there. Would stay again .

The place was amazing! Pictures aren’t able to do it justice! (Must see in person!) The home was very clean, had everything and more that you’d need. It’s been put together with care and attention. (Eg. A nice selection of board games, individual games and group games, leaflets with information about activities in the local area, a physical map and a list of instructions for anything you maybe wondering how to do in the home). Nicola as a host was amazing, kept in contact on the build up to our stay and gave clear and helpful information. Which made us feel really welcomed. Thank you very much Nicola and your team!

The perfect place for a weekend getaway! Lots of great places to see in the area. Addy’s cottage had everything we could have needed and more. We made good use of the fully equipped kitchen but had some great recommendations for places to eat out nearby too. The cottage is a clean and cosy space and we couldn’t have asked for more! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back.

Great cottage within minutes walking distance from great beaches and local restaurants and shops.

We had an exceptional stay at Sally and Tim’s Airbnb. They had thought of everything to make our stay as comfortable and luxurious as possible. The house was better than most hotels; it was completely spotless, all amenities were of high quality, and most importantly of all, Sally and Tim had gone above and beyond to add personal touches to make us feel welcome. There was a beautiful array of locally sourced foods when we arrived, as well as a handwritten note and fresh peonies. I would not hesitate to recommend The Old Workshop, and we would love to return.

Lovely cottage - traditional on the outside, modern on the inside. Everything was spotless. The furniture, including the beds, is extremely comfortable. A welcome gift of lovely biscuits, crisps, etc was a nice addition. Michael was very quick to respond to messages or questions and dealt very efficiently with our request to change the dates we had booked. We would have no hesitation in recommending the accommodation and would happily stay there again.

Spacious and comfortable cottage ideal for a couple in a pretty village by the moors. We enjoyed visiting the surroundings including the city of Durham and Beamish Open Air Museum as well as castles and countryside. On street parking was no problem as we always parked in front of the cottage.

Probably the best Airbnb we have stayed in to date. Extremely well equipped cottage in beautiful surroundings. Very helpful owners. An ideal spot for exploring all that Northumberland has to offer. Thanks for having us!

'Elmhurst' is the quintessential English village experience. It is a delightful and extremely comfortable cottage in a quaint little village. The cottage is very nicely and thoughtfully furnished with comfortable sofas and beds. It is very well-equipped and had lots of thoughtful touches including fresh flowers on the table, milk in the fridge, candles and a fire laid in the fireplace. There is a small back patio area where I sat in the spring sunshine and also a small front garden area facing the road. The road is quiet, especially at night. The Bridge End Inn is a nice little pub directly across the road where I chatted with the locals and enjoyed delicious Italian food. Just walking outside the door of the cottage takes you to lovely country walks along the Tyne river and into the woods behind Ovingham. This is a truly lovely place to stay and I'll definitely stay here again. Chris is a friendly, helpful and proactive host - thank you!

A well equipped house with character which was a great place to spend a week exploring the south of Northumberland. The house has character, is in a quiet spot on a hill overlooking fields and is well equipped. John was there if we needed him and always chatty and helpful when. We'd definitely stay again!
