Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Durham

We loved loved loved this place! Hoping to come back soon. The house was perfect for my family (2 adults and 2 kids). The kids loved the enclosed garden, the toys and games around the place. I loved the utility room (I know 🤦‍♀️😂), the living room space, the en-suite and the kitchen/dining space. I also really loved the location, we walked to the beach and the park each day. The whole estate was quiet and friendly. Gary was proactive in giving great (free) ideas of what we could do when the weather changed. He was friendly and helpful without interrupting our holiday. I cannot put into words how much we loved the house. There were so many lovely touches round the house (like automatic lights on the stairs) which made the house exciting to the kids. We loved this property and would definitely book it again!

thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Host very responsive to any issues we had. Easy to get the keys etc and in. Very well equipped kitchen, all rooms a good size for what we needed. Pleasantly surprised with the bathroom, the pictures really don't do it justice, it was lovely! TV was easy to use and sign into our apps. Fire also easy to use. We ate twice at the Travellers rest as it's a short walk away. lovely meal, portions are VERY generous. We were there to go to Diggerland and Beamish, both were a very short drive away and were both a great day out!!

We had a great stay-the house is light, spacious and clean and the garden was great for our dog, who enjoyed exploring it. The Sainsbury’s Local which is a few minutes walk away was very handy for a few essentials when we arrived!

Such a lovely lovely home - beautifully set out So very close to a beautiful beach ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

We had a great time staying at Sandra's wonderful house. We were on a work trip but had a bit of down time too to explore the area. The house worked really well for us to do some work there when we weren't out meeting people. We were able to really enjoy cooking there, just like it was our home kitchen due to how well equipped it was which was really important for our flexible schedule. The area itself is fantastic - great views, close by to everything and the house was comfy and cosy after long days out working and exploring. Sandra was very proactive in her communications and thoughtful with her suggestions and gestures - she left us a really kind welcome package and basics in the kitchen which again were really appreciated. Would really recommend this place and I hope to stay again!

Seldom is where we stay one of the highlights of our trip, but this townhouse definitely was. It was absolutely amazing. It was warm and comfortable after coming in from our chilly all day excursions. The beds were comfortable, the house extremely clean and the amenities absolute perfection.

We had a wonderful stay! The accommodation was great and exactly what we needed, our host was incredibly helpful and responsive to any questions we had.

This is a good place to stay for groups of 3 or 4, travelling by car and planning to visit both the city and the beautiful countryside of Durham County. We went both to both up Weardale to the foothills of the Pennines and to the coast at Seaham on our day trip. This row-house cottage is nice, comfortable with an efficient central heating system. The kitchen/dining room is well equipped. Anthony left us both cows and Oat milk, which was nice. The only downside is that the the tiled floors are cold, if you don't have thick socks or slippers/indoor shoes with thicker soles than the hotel slip-ons that the hosts provide. Also the local pub is a bit further away than we'd assumed and is under new management and no longer serving food. However, Anthony told us about two alternate pubs offering evening meals. The most impressive was The New Board Inn at Hill Top (DH7-(9RL), which has a great Sunday evening quiz.

A lovely caravan very close to the sea. It was beautifully maintained. The kitchen was excellent. A slow cooker and an air fryer+ a full gas cooker and microwave. I was spoiled for choice!! The price was excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend this lovely caravan to anyone. Thanks Lynn. A very friendly and helpful host.

Beautiful caravan and very clean. Looks exactly like the photos. Well decorated and little extras. really helpful things like salt and vinegar and shower gel. right on the sea front with a 10 walk to get feet on the sand. Beach was amazing really peaceful and lovely sunrise view. A lovely few days 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 had a relaxing stay at Pebbles. Situated in a very picturesque park overlooking the sea and the wind turbines which I felt were quite mesmerising! The park itself has everything you need from entertainment, pool and restaurants. The beach was fabulous and we thoroughly enjoyed the rock pools and scenery. Lots to do in the area especially if you like castles and history. We would recommend a stay at Pebbles.

Well done Jo, Thank you for making our stay a very memorable one! Thank you so much. We hope to return again someday 🙏

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 an excellent stay. The area is stunning, and it was fantastic weather, perfect to sit out on the balcony and enjoy the sounds of nature. The village is just a short walk away (10 minutes max.) with a couple of different pubs, a co-op and some cute independent shops. Hareshaw Linn walking trail with stunning waterfalls is only a short walk away too. The accommodation was basic but just what we needed, with all the essentials for cooking meals in. We would recommend, well worth a visit.

If there was a six star rating then I would definitely pick that! Julian’s house is superb, we stayed for 4 nights after the new year as a family and have had the best time. The house is just beautiful in a gorgeous location and very spacious. There were 9 of us and 3 dogs all together and we had more than enough room. I would wholeheartedly recommend Foxhall farm along with Julian and Jolene who are great and very helpful. Thank you for fab holiday 🥰

Lovely place to stay. Directions were clear to follow but struggled to know which direction they were from. Outside area was great, lovely little sun trap! BBQ and hot tub were great. Hot tub had quite a bit of grit and dirt in it though which was a shame. Inside the arches was very cosy and had everything we needed for the short stay. Bed and bedding was comfy and clean, loved the thought of outside towels for the hot tub aswell as indoor towels. Not had this elsewhere and made such a difference. Bathroom was quite small but everything in it was great. Only downside was the boiler being noisy on and off during the night, even though heating wasn't on. We look forward to booking again for the apartment or cottage.

Always nice to stay here. With family in the area, an ideal quiet place. Not far from the town and beach - all walkable.

A real home from home within walking distance of the beach. Perfect for dog walking and exploring surrounding areas. Had everything we needed to start our holiday from the moment we walked through the door! Thanks so much.

The cottage was perfect. The kitchen had everything you need, lovely cooking wear and home from home utensils. The log fire (courtesy logs) was beautiful. Really cosy and the bed was extremely comfortable with plush bedding. I have read other reviews and I can honestly say the location was extremely quiet. Yes it’s on a residential street but it was peaceful and both my friend and myself could park our cars right outside. My 6 month old puppy loved it and was well behaved given her new surroundings. Thank you Doreen for your recommendations of dog friendly pubs and excellent communication.

The iron chapel is a wonderful place to stay, full of character, and a lovely place to spend time with family. Lisa and Michael were great hosts, very quick to reply to any queries we had. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend the iron chapel. Andy & Sarah.

Caroline is a fantastic host. Her home was perfect. It had everything we needed and more. Some lovely small details that make it extra special on arrival- welcome pack, well stocked (cleaning materials, dog throws and bowls etc). Fantastic location. We loved how peaceful it was at the cottage and the close proximity to the beach. We would definitely recommend staying at Paddy’s cottage and hope to be able to return there in the future.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming Airbnb house located on a very quiet side road in a lovely area of Darlington. The peaceful setting made it the perfect retreat, away from the hustle and bustle yet still conveniently close to local amenities. The house itself was comfortable and well-equipped, providing everything we needed for a relaxing visit. Our host was exceptionally responsive and helpful throughout our stay, promptly answering any questions and offering useful local tips. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a tranquil and enjoyable stay in Darlington.

Adam’s place was perfect for our family of four - clean, homely, well furnished and lovely and quiet given its convenient location. We were visiting family in tough circumstances and it felt like a home from home. Adam was responsive and helpful, right up until the last minute!
