Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Sunderland

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.

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.

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.

We have just returned from our visit. A real home from home. Beautiful property with everything you need which makes travelling with children a lot easier and enjoyable. The attention to detail in this property is fantastic. The welcome basket , milk and water in the fridge was a very thankful surprise for when we checked in after a long drive. Everything you would need and more is available. Decor is beautiful. Linen excellent quality. Absolutely spotless throughout , everything was perfect. My only regret is that we were only here for 2 days as I would have loved to stay for longer! Absolutely 100% recommend. And we would love to visit again. Thank you Steph. Excellent host.

Ellen was a fantastic host. Made me and my children feel really welcome. The house was large & very clean, ellen was on hand to help if needed. Would highly recommend & will be sure to stay again next time im up. Thank you very much Ellen. From jamie and the kids

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.

Lovely spacious house with a homely feel to it. Suited our needs perfectly and had a fabulous weekend celebrating a 21st birthday. Lovely coastal walk and great local food. Would definitely stay again. Thank you

Location was great for getting into Newcastle and also for Stadium of Light and Roker. We had plenty of space.

Kind, accommodating, generous host and an incredibly comfortable Airbnb. Super easy to get to Beamish on the bus from the location. Little touches from Bev like snacks or a cold Pepsi Max and water on arrival make the stay even better. Great water pressure and temperature, wonderful bed, fantastic oscillating fan, and the mini fridge was perfect. When we were struggling night 2 to get good wifi, Bev popped over with a Deco mesh extender which solved the issue.

The place was spotless & close to the metro for easy transport, & not far from local restaurants. Yvonne was very responsive & happy to help with local recommendations as well. Would look to stay again!

Fantastic little abode - highly recommend for a night away in Newcastle.

Absolutely loved my stay here! The place is beautifully decorated with so much character—stylish, comfortable, and full of thoughtful touches that made it feel like home. The setting was perfect too—peaceful, charming, and a great base for exploring the area. What really made the experience stand out were the hosts. Super friendly and welcoming, with incredible local knowledge that totally upgraded my trip. From hidden gems to the best spots to eat and explore, their tips made all the difference. Can’t recommend this place enough—already looking forward to coming back!

Fabulous accommodation - just right for our short stay. The Metro into Newcastle was a short walk away. Lynne and Gary gave us a warm welcome - would recommend

I don't think I can add much to what others have said - it is a lovely, well equipped flat in a nice quiet area. I can see that parking might be a problem if you expect to park just outside the apartment but we don't have a car so it didn't concern us.

Beautiful quiet location. Great facilities. Very clean and well presented home.

Anne and Norman’s place was wonderful! Quiet, clean, easy to get around by bus, train or Uber/Taxi. I had a terrific time and was able to get to every place I wanted to visit via public transit. Shops for grocery was a short walk away. Norman and Anne were the most friendly and lovely people you would ever meet. Thank you so much! 😊

nice appartment in a great location close to stores and takeout options and close to major highways

Lovely clean and well presented accommodating including a well stocked biscuit tin. Kitchen was very clean and as was the rest of the flat and the flat and the walk-in shower/bathroom was very easy as was the shower, with great water pressure. Finally, all within a stones throw of a host of restaurants.

A lovely apartment, bright and comfortable in a historic area of Newcastle, near to the castle and cathedral. Lots of good restaurants on the doorstep, a perfect place to stay.

We stayed in this lovely apartment for a long weekend celebrating with family who live locally. The apartment was perfect, great location, clean, and just want we needed. The hot tub was a complete win with our children. The courtyard is private and a real sun trap. We will be back.

A comfortable and homely place to stay for work in Newcastle. Close to a reliable bus route into town. Jen was friendly and thoughtful and we felt right at home. It's a place that's good value, unpretentious and feels like Airbnb used to be!

We booked this apartment at very short notice following a change in our plans. The hosts responded very quickly to make the property available for us and even allowed us flexibility with our check in. The Old Bakery exceeded our expectations and was perfect for our short break holiday being close to Cullercoats and Tynemouth centre and a great stretch of beach. Next time we are looking to stay in the area we will definitely be booking this again.

Booked as I was working in the area and bored of hotels. It made a few days working away bearable. The apartment was exactly as described, immaculately clean and modern. Once inside it's really private no noise, and very calm decor. Kathryn was really responsive and keen to ensure I was comfortable and all needs met. Will definitely be booking again when staying in the North East for work, a lovely home away from home.

Myself, my partner and friends visited for the weekend and had a fab time. Lesley-Ann was a brilliant host and the apartment was beautiful in the perfect location. The handbook was filled with loads of info on things to do, recommended restaurants and bars etc. Would 100% stay again and would recommend highly ❤️
