Cottage vacation rentals in Beamish

Sundial is a beautiful cottage, central to Skelton. The cottage is comfortable and has the convenience of a downstairs and upstairs bathroom / shower and a separate utility room. I booked Sundial for the hot tub and this feature didn’t disappoint. A superb way of relaxing after a busy day. We visited Saltburn (walkable along the Cleveland way) and Whitby (I highly recommend the Park & Ride). Before coming home I drove to Marske-on-sea where my dogs and I enjoyed a gorgeous walk along the wide, open beach. Marske has a dog friendly cafe (The dog house) if any dog lovers are reading this review!

Genuinely amazing little place to stay, in a beautiful part of the world. We were even greeted with a lemon drizzle cake :) 10/10 would recommend!

Family (2 adults & 2 kids) loved our stay, very well equipped and a lovely place to stay. Football goals and football was a good addition - the playground is no longer there but kids enjoyed their stay.

Our second time at the gorgeous Preston Mill Loft and it was just as wonderful as we remember. Super dog friendly, the upgraded hot tub is IMMENSE, comfy bed, welcoming hosts, beautiful scenery, well stocked kitchen. The lot. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Stayed here a few times now, for times when were going to events. Each time we visit we love Stanley cottage and the surrounding area a little bit more. It’s a lovely cottage with everything you would need for your stay. Great hosts, we will definitely be here again.

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.

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

We enjoyed a great break in Peewit Cottage, which was spotless and had everything you need. The surroundings were well looked after and amenities great. The little touches, including the welcome pack (best we’ve had and included the dog!) and Prosecco and strawberries to enjoy in the hot tub were thoughtful and lovely. All the information you need is provided prior to arrival or readily available within the cottage. We used the cottage as a base to visit local attractions, all easily accessible by car. Glen was both very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely recommend and somewhere we would return to. Thank you, Jacqueline!

Elaine greeted us as we parked up and was incredibly friendly and attentive right from the start. We really appreciated the thoughtful breakfast items she had left for us – such a lovely touch! I was staying in the area for a wedding, and her location was absolutely perfect. Would definitely recommend!

My husband and I and our two doggies had a truly unforgettable time. The home was the perfect escape. Stunning walks right on our doorstep, a 15/20 minute walk to the local coop, pubs, and cafe, wonderful views from the balcony when the sun shone, and a cosy home for when it rained. I cannot recommend this location enough and we will certainly be visiting again. The bath was great after our long walks and there was always plenty of hot water. The kitchen was well equipped. The WiFi was a little temperamental but the tv was always working and there’s 4G if you’re desperate to connect to the world (which isn’t necessary when you’re in such a beautiful area). Very helpful and friendly hosts, comfy bed, great shower (although you might struggle if you’re over 6ft2”. Great cooking appliances, the local pubs are lovely, and some villages within a 20 minute drive that are also worth the visit. Very happy customers!

Coming from the States, we were looking for a quintessential Yorkshire Dales experience: someplace peaceful and quiet with beautiful scenery. This place fit the bill perfectly. The house was very comfortable and we especially loved the shower, beds and comforters. It really is self catered so be sure to bring any cooking staples you will need. Beautiful artwork throughout the house, and some great magazines to read on rainy days. We did have an issue on the second to last day we were there - the power went out for no apparent reason. Luckily we were able to isolate the problem circuit and get things partially working again. Claire was very helpful and arranged for showers we could use in the cabins at the main property down the road. All in all, it was a lovely location and we would definitely stay there again.

Perfect! Exactly what we wanted, the cottage was pristine and equipped to a high standard with everything you need. Although dogs are welcome you would never know that a dog had been anywhere near. The location is secluded and peaceful with great views with horse stables next door and horses in the field. Swallows nesting in the stables constantly flying around. The enclosed garden is ideal for dogs to wander freely safely. Joanna is a great friendly host responsive and only too happy to help. Would highly recommend!

Only point is parking is a 5min walk away

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.

Anna was a perfect host, quick to respond to any questions. The cottage is in a great location with lovely views overlooking the fields. The cottage itself was nice and cosy, well laid out with all the facilities that you'd need. Everything was clean and easy to find. The welcome card and hamper was a nice touch. There are lots of walks around, we had two spaniels, we took them around the village and on the old Teesdale railway line. We also went up to High and Low Force waterfalls which is only a 15 min drive away. A great weekend stay despite the Saturdays weather. Would definitely book again if we go to the area.

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 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.

What a great house, had everything we needed, is modern but still cosy, great pizza place (knead a slice) nearby, and fab tea room on the square. Beautiful local walks - deer park, binchester roman fort by the river. Thoroughly recommend and highly enjoyable!

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.

Fantastic location and beautiful home with the added bonus of a sunny garden! We really enjoyed our stay and Michael and Anna were so responsive and helpful, thank you we will be back

Holly and Chris were lovely hosts. Offered us local recommendations, super friendly and messages were clear. They provided basics like milk and coffee/tea, and extras like bread and eggs which were a lovely touch Felt like they were available if needed but also gave us our privacy

A beautiful, private location with plenty of space and everything we needed for a family with young children. The house was clean and beds were comfortable too!

We really enjoyed our stay , a proper home from home ! Very comfortable and clean , stunning decor, comfy bed and on a lovely quaint quiet street ( even loved the church bells ). Adam was very responsive . Great pubs in walkable distance , Newcastle City centre took ten minutes in a taxi. We ate a nice meal in the Woodmans Arms and beers in the Bay Horse and One eyed Stag , breakfast in the Harry Casper was amazing for the money . Will definitely stay here again if we can .

As an older couple exploring the area where my wife's grandad grew up ( Brandon) Quarry Cottage was just perfect . Very clean and we felt at home straight away. Lovely walks from the cottage . Comfortable beds, excellent shower , well equipped kitchen. Perfect airbnb- thank you
