Family-friendly vacation rentals in Houghton le Spring

Absolutely loved our stay here, the cottage its self was gorgeous and the space inside was a really great lay out and very spacious! The cottage had everything we needed as-well as the little extras that were complimentary, and overall Sheila has been a great host and I would recommend this place, we had an amazing stay here! Thank you x

Billy and his wife were very welcoming. We had a cake baked for us and the apartment was very clean and homely.

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.

The place was small but cozy and directly on the walking trail and next door to a pub. The hot tub was a nice touch. Mandy was so responsive and helpful to every request.

Emma’s place is lovely exactly as described. The garden was a great bonus hot tub was wonderful. We were in Newcastle due to the Magic Weekend so we used the house as a base for 2 families. Everyone had a great time perfect place for us to get together. Communications were very good.. Thank you Emma and your family for allowing us to stay in your home.

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

Wonderful hosts; friendly and responsive. Great location that was close to the main shops, pubs and restaurants in Hexam as well as for visiting Hadrian's Wall. Extremely well equipped and clean. Highly recommend.

Thank you for such a lovely stay. Your place is lovely and spacious and we all felt at home. We would be happy to come again.

Caroline’s cottage is beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable and lovely and peaceful as it is set back from the main road. Caroline kindly let us check in early which was perfect as it was the only nice day we had in the north and so were able to go out and enjoy the Moors. The surrounding area is beautiful and there are lots of extremely nice places to visit and great dining opportunities! As all the other visitors say, it is a fabulous place to stay and we would love to return if we are back in the area ! Thank you again Caroline !

Great stay for a family wedding at Tyne Bank Brewery. Lottie was very communicative and flexible with arrival and departure times which was appreciated when flight times were changed.

Very friendly and helpful hosts,greeted us on arrival and explained everything to us. We were just blown away with the chapel,Lisa and her husband did an amazing job restoring the chapel,very cosey and warming equipped with everything you need. We wouldn't change a thing about the place,in our eyes it was flawless and restored with a great passion. There is very nice walks through the countryside and rivers,with plenty of restaurants, take aways,pubs around the next towns within walking distance. We will definately be coming back that's for sure. thank you 😊

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.

Absolutely loved our long weekend break at Terri's cottage. It was everything we needed it to be for relaxation and local walks. Cottage was really cosy and comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped and the space worked perfectly for us as a family of 4 with 2 dogs. The lovely enclosed back garden meant we didn't have to worry about the dogs. Everyone slept really well due to comfy beds and quality bed linen. Definitely would recommend this cottage and hope to visit again as didn't manage to do all the walks we would have liked to.

I had a lovely time staying at Stanley Cottage. It is extremely comfortable and well equipped. Everything was as described and the location is brilliant for exploring the moors, very convenient for pubs and the cafe in Osmotherley and also very peaceful. Would definitely like to stay there again.

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.

A lovely property in a great location. The house is very comfortable with a well equipped kitchen and lovely bedroom. It is an ideal base for exploring this area of Northumberland, which is very attractive.(We were walking the northern stages of the Pennine Way.)

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.
