House vacation rentals in Houghton le Spring

Thank you Laura for a superb stay. The caravan was spotlessly clean on arrival. Clear instructions on how to find it, where to park and how to get in. Very friendly communication from host. 10/10 would recommend 😊

Great place for a relaxing weekend getaway. Plenty of parking, also easy commute to Newcastle/Sunderland/Durham.

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

We loved our stay at Darlington!! The host was so responsive, everything went smoothly. 10/10 the hot tub was a great touch for both adults and kids! Would absolutely stay again!!!

We had a lovely break. The position of the caravan overlooking the sea is one of the best on the site and it had everything we needed. We’d very happily go back for another stay.

Russell and Clare are great hosts who have created comfortable, well-appointed accommodation which is warm and cosy in winter and I imagine light and airy in summer. The beds were lush. The shower is great - powerful and consistent temperature. Eppleby is peaceful with walks from the cottage, a local shop & tea room - very friendly - and pub. It's a great location for exploring Richmondshire and Co. Durham. We had a relaxing short break at The Old Milk House and hope to return.

Lovely stay in Whitley Bay at Claire’s caravan. On the edge of the park closest to the sea so great views of the coast and lighthouse. We were lucky with the sunsets - they were beautiful! Recommended!

We had not been to the area before but were delighted with the accommodation and with Cullercoats. The cottage was stylish and luxurious, ticking all the boxes for a really comfortable bed, great shower, well-equipped, excellent kitchen and everything you needed for a short stay or a longer one. The upstairs ensuite bedroom had a lovely sea view and was really peaceful. The downstairs double room and separate bathroom were practical as we had family visiting. The neighbourhood was quiet and friendly and the location was superb - the cottage was minutes from the beach, a small supermarket and the Metro. You could walk from the door into Whitley Bay or Tynemouth. The beach was excellent and we swam in the sea. The coastal pathway between Whitley Bay and North Shields with its separate cycle lanes will be a wonderful asset and parts of it are already completed. We settled in really well and very quickly and were a bit sad to leave. Thank you to Vikki.

Lovely cottage which was spotlessly clean with fresh smelling bed linen and towels. In the heart of the village with lots of walks nearby for us with the dog. It's only 8 minutes drive to Beamish Museum, short drive to see Angel of the North, 20 minutes to Durham, 15 to Newcastle with Metro Centre close by too. Great restaurants within a few minutes - Soho Tavern (2 min walk), Guiseppes (1 minute walk) and Ravensworth Arms (2 minute drive) - all with amazing food and such friendly and welcoming staff. We also got a Tesco food delivery which was handy. Great sized fully enclosed garden and off road parking was a great bonus. Kitchen had every appliance you would need, heating was great (only had to use it once) and the shower was powerful with loads of hot water. Laura and Steven checked in with us via messages and responded quickly which we appreciated. We loved our visit here and wouldn't hesitate to return. Would recommend it to anyone.

A delightful cottage that was spotlessly clean and wonderfully fresh, providing a peaceful setting in the countryside, yet only a 15-minute drive from Durham. We loved the charming, spacious cottage with its own private garden. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need, making our stay so easy. The welcome treats were a lovely touch - especially the amazing rocky road, and the fresh eggs and milk were much appreciated. Being on a working farm was brilliant, with fresh produce readily available, and the friendly ginger cat and chickens added real character. Jane, the host, was an absolute star with her excellent communication. We couldn't have asked for a better stay.

As described and Michelle communicates very well, would definitely stay again

This house is absolutely insane. The photos do not do it justice, it’s stunning. We came for a hen weekend. we were not there to party, we wanted a chilled weekend and that is what we got. All the rooms are absolutely stunning. We were overwhelmed how nice the house was. The gym, hot tub and sauna just adds to how great the house is. I can’t forget the games room upstairs, that was an added bonus too and was just amazing. I would 100% recommend this house for any families or friends wanting a nice chilled weekend. Mark and Sarah are always there either by email or phone and are quick to sort out any issues. Each room is clean and stunning ready for you arriving. What an amazing house. We were all gutted to leave as it was so lovely. Will definitely be going back.

loved the house our stay was so relaxing with the place easy to navigate. Everything we needed was available and clean. The house was comfortable and felt like home from home. Stephen our host was quick with responces. once all my wife's hospital appointment and operations are done we will be back. thank you Stephen.

Lijie en Costa were such warm and welcoming hosts. We arrived late and due to circumstances were a bit late for dinner but nothing was too much for Lijie. She arranged a meal for us and really was extremely accommodating. The room was more than we expected - spacious and comfortable and everything was fresh and clean. I can also really recommend the restaurant next door - the food was absolutely delicious and there is lots of parking. We really had a good nights rest - it is a pity we only stayed for one night but if we are ever in that area again, we will certainly return.

Excellent host! My team loved staying at the house and had no complaints. Thank you

Saved the day for us when we last minute booked as we were on our way down south for my husband to run the Newcastle Marathon when another host cancelled on us with no reason our notice. We were so thankful to find this place. Location was ideal for what we needed as we had the car. Apartment was clean and freshly decorated with amenities we needed.

Fantastic stay here really enjoyed my time

I was traveling for work , so the location wise it was great for me . There is an Aldi walking distance away so easy to get food . Amy kitchen has loads of herbs and spices which made cooking so much easier . parking is just to the side of the house . there is a bus stop just outside the door which can take you into town . The place is lovely and clean home from home with everything you need for a stay

Really lovely place. Within walking distance of Durham centre. Well worth a visit.

We felt really lucky to stay. Beautiful amenities in just the most gorgeous surroundings. The local Waterside park has great facilities and we felt like we got the most from the area with a luxury cottage to head back to at the end of each day. Would definitely recommend although hope we can still get back in soon!

Lucy made me and my two sons Joshua and Oliver feel right at home in her cute pink house in Durham. From the welcome to the pink house chalkboard, to the friendly and responsive instructions, we felt like we were in a 'home away from home'. The Pink House is within walking distance to picturesque Durham and the magnificent Durham Cathedral. We highly recommend this place to stay.

Great stay. Everything was spotlessly clean, the beds were incredibly comfy and Jane was a great host and really helpful!

Wowzers! Absolutely spectacular accommodation! Booked myself and 5 friends for a 40th Boozy and Boujee birthday and this place did not disappoint. Finished to an unbelievably high spec, the place was modern, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. I would say like home from home however I could only ever dream of having such a beautiful palace. Everything we needed was provided. Location superb and plenty bars and restaurants just a 5 minute walk away. Stunning views and the beach is just round the corner. We hit on lucky with weather and enjoyed a meal sat in the sunshine at Sambuccas then it was just a short ferry ride over to South Shields to go to the fairground. Raymond is a delightful host, super responsive and nothing was a bother. We couldn't get the TV to work so he sent someone round while we were out to fix it and even messaged to say he left some music on for when we got in. We 100% recommend Hilights View and we will be back again! Thanks Raymond, you are a star!
