House holiday 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 had a lovely stay - host was very helpful and amenities were exactly as described. Pool and hot tubs were a fantastic addition with easy instructions. Comfy beds and good facilities in the cottage. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Love this place, right by the beach, and a beautiful beach too. The host was so responsive and helpful from start to finish. The place was immaculately clean, just as described, lovely and warm with all the utensils and appliances working exactly as they should. Easy to walk to town, with a Co-Op and pubs and restaurants there. Shower pretty good too. Family bathroom and a small but useful en-suite to the main bedroom

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.

Great place to stay , all the amenities u need. Highly recommended

This place is great if you don't mind riding the bus to town. I had a great stay and would recommend it. The bus stop is literally outside the front door and Aldi is just a few minutes walk.

A real home away from home! The property had pretty much everything we needed. The beds were super comfortable, and the linen and towels smelled fresh and lovely. The sofas were also incredibly comfy. The blinds did let in quite a bit of light, which may just be a personal thing as I find it hard to sleep without complete darkness. A few small touches like milk, oil, and pepper would’ve been appreciated, but not a big deal as the corner shop was very close. The bottle of prosecco was a lovely surprise. It’s a genuinely beautiful place in a great location, with scenic walks, friendly locals, and lovely pubs. Easy to get a taxi into the city centre too. I can be quite particular, but this place definitely passed the test! Would absolutely recommend — thanks 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.

Perfect location for a 10 minute walk to the Riverside stadium and similar into town where there are plenty of food choices. Thr property had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable. Gareth responded very quickly to queries and made some useful recommendations. Would definitely stay again.

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.

We had a fantastic stay here - really impressed with how well-equipped the kitchen was, how comfy the bedrooms were, and how nice the shower was (the rain shower head was very relaxing!). Janet was a fantastic host, really friendly and proactive. We felt well and truly pampered by the gift basket, tea and coffee selection, welcome card, and starter pint of milk. In case this is helpful for anyone thinking of bringing a small child: everything went well with our 2.5 year old, he found the stairs easy to climb, there was plenty of space for his travel cot and high chair, and we were able to set the cot up in the study so that the adults could spread out between the double bedrooms :D We were able to easily work around the absence of a bath by bringing a little portable toddler one that fits inside a shower. It was also easy to keep him out of trouble, with few breakable/dangerous things in his reach (plus the door handles were out of his reach too). Amazing stay - thanks so much!

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

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.

We had a lovely stay at Hall Yard Cottage, the location was in a lovely village, friendly neighbours and great walks on the doorstep. The hosts left some welcome goodies which were much appreciated. The only feedback we have is that it wasn’t mentioned where we could park in the information pack until one of the neighbours told us. The cottage was very clean, dog friendly and we will definitely return.

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.

Exactly what it says on the tin! Great house with 3 good bedrooms and two sofa beds. The hot tub was the highlight of the visit for sure, and the kitchen was also very handy. The sauna was really good for drying up after getting out of the tub.

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

Joanne is a fabulous host. She was both responsive and helpful. When one of us had an accident requiring hospital treatment she was at pains to do anything to assist. The house was immaculate, parking easy and location perfect for ice-cream and restaurants. The beds were super comfortable . Everything was provided for a great holiday. The neighbourhood is modern, clean and quiet. Highly recommend staying here.

We really enjoyed our 3 month stay at 'Over the top' which felt like our home away from home. The house has all the essentials, and is in a nice area with lots of shops and Aykley Wood nearby. Communication with Alan was very smooth.

Had a great stay . House was very clean , bedrooms and bathrooms excellent. View over the mouth of the Tyne really good from the balconies . Would stay again.
