Find Places to Stay in County Durham on Airbnb

If you want a quiet rural getaway, then this is the place. The surrounding areas make for some excellent walks if you wish to go off and explore. The accommodation was fantastic, quirky and clean. The bed was the most comfortable we've had whilst using an Airbnb and we couldn't hear a sound from the bedroom. Excellent value and we plan to return when the weather is better to some more exploring. Definitely 5 star

The Butterfly Cottage is the perfect place for a few nights away, with some nice walks nearby and lovely views. The bed is the comfiest thing I’ve ever slept on, it was like lying on marshmallows, and Anita and Bruce were very nice and extra helpful - we used their local guidebook to decide what we were doing throughout the day. Would definitely stay again if we were in the area.

Stayed at Anita's and Bruce place for couple of nights. Unbelievably beautiful views and amazing cottage, most romantic place for couple I could ever imagine. My girlfriend was almost crying when we had to leave. Definitely coming back.

Very comfortable and cosy stay, garden is secure for dogs and hosts very friendly, lovely area.

Lovely place to stay, very cosy with everything you could need. The cottage has amazing views, and we loved watching Anita and Bruce's dogs playing outside. Bruce was very helpful when it snowed the morning we were due to leave, dug our car out and advised us on the safest road to take to the main road. We will definitely be back in the better weather!

The cottage was extremely cosy and clean, and provided a wonderful base for our trip to the Pennines. Lots of great walks nearby, and Anita and Bruce were available if we had any questions. Homemade bread on arrival was a lovely touch - would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice, quiet retreat.

My partner and I had an absolutely fantastic stay at Butterfly Cottage. We were visiting during Storm Dennis but it was still stunning in the snow! Anita and Bruce gave us tips on walks we could do near by and we were happy enough to sit and enjoy the cottage when the weather was really nasty! Perfect location, perfect hosts, perfect place to stay! Thanks both :)

Another visit to the beautiful Butterfly Cottage. Perfect in every way. Snug and cosy for our snowy stay. Thank you both for being perfect hosts and thanks to Bruce for providing a spade to help dig our car out of the snow...although we did not want to leave. See you again.

Had a lovely stay in this beautiful cottage. Took the day to travel around Durham, and spent two nights at the cottage. Would definitely stay again.

This is the first time staying here and we couldn’t of asked for anything better. Michael was very warm welcoming and gave plenty of information on where we could go to visit. The cottage itself was sparkling clean and the log burner was a brilliant extra. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. Thank you for a brilliant weekend

A lovely hideaway in the countryside. The wood burner was fantastic after returning home from a walk in a blizzard! Very nicely furnished and a lovely cosy cottage feel about it. Top Tip: Take slippers. The floors can be cold on your feet in winter.

Michael was very welcoming, he provided us with lots of recommendations regarding where to walk / eat and drink. Cannot fault the cleanliness of the cottage. Perfect location just off of the A68 with plenty to do in the surrounding area. You won't be dissapointed.

Just home from a two night stay with my friend. Despite the weather we’ve had a lovely couple of days in the cottage; the log burner and alpacas were a particular highlight for us! Hope to come back 😊

A very cosy cottage with all you need for a relaxing getaway in the countryside. A couple of maintenance issues were dealt with promptly so that our stay was not affected. Would stay again.

We loved the cottage - a very warm welcome from Michael and great tips for local pubs and walks. Just what we needed.

Our second visit was just as lovely as the first. Our favourite spot for a post-Christmas get away.

A wonderful stay with everything you could need. Even in the snow it was warm and cosy inside the hut .

Lovely experience on the edge of the stunning North pennines

Really warm, cosy, clean and charming

A very well made and insulated shepherds hut with a stylish interior. Even in Storm Dennis we felt warm & cosy. A lovely little get away in the countryside and andrew made us very welcome. He even let us feed the sheep and see his workshop where he builds his Shepherd Huts.

Great place, small and compact but has everything you need. Great host and even let my boy hand feed the sheep. We stayed during the last storm, was still nice and warm. Defo recommend, and we’ll more than likely re visit.

The Little Blue Hut was a fantastic get away, Andrew was brilliant left us to have our own space but was there to help when we needed it. He let us check out later on the Sunday as he had no one else arriving and there was a bad storm which was really nice of him. The Hut is really well designed myself my partner and our dog Bodhi enjoyed every minute of our stay. Definitely recommend staying here.

Had a great weekend, shower was lovely, can’t believe how much stuff you can fit in a small space

It's always great staying here, and I'm sure we will be back soon!

Julia's cottage is really lovely and she is a brilliant host. We walked her dogs with her on our first day, showing us which walks to go on and we met and stroked the animals she has around the place which pleased my 10 year old very much! The cottage is cute with comfy beds and lots of charm. The best bit is the location - very remote and beautiful views from every window. Absolutely lovely.

It was a lovely cottage which was very comfortable, cosy and homely. Julia was also really helpful. We would definitely go back.

Julia is a wonderful host - just right in terms of checking everything is ok, and open offer to help with anything we’d forgotten. The cottage is utterly charming and a haven in the countryside. Cosy and rustic, but full of modern amenities.

A comfy property, extremely remote, lots of animals around you, definately off the beaten track, fabulous walking area, very picturesque, a lovely get away.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage, stunning area, cosy interiors, a great place to hideaway and switch off!

A absolute gem of a cottage in the middle of nowhere, perfect for that weekend getaway with country walks & the log burner on the go. Everything was amazing.

Lovely countryside cottage with comfy beds, great views and a sweet little town just down the road. Would recommend

Knockburn cottage was an absolutely wonderful break away, the cottage is super cosy and comfortable especially at this time of year. Having the fire lit in the evening was a really nice treat. The bed is extremely comfortable and we slept like babies! There are lovely little touches like fluffy dressing gowns, slippers and an honesty box of local goodies (we unfortunately didn't bring any cash for it but there were some delicious looking things in there!). We didn't have much trouble finding the place as Julia sent extensive directions. There isn't any wifi and phone signal is touch and go but that was part of the charm. The kitchen had every appliance and utensil we needed for cooking & baking as well as basic necessities like oil, salt & pepper. We had an amazing time and are definitely planning on coming back!

The Glass House is spectacular! It’s a cosy, beautiful space. The location is pretty epic and quite secluded. It is a little off the beaten track - that’s why we chose it. Some of the local roads in winter aren’t the best. We visited at the end of February in a small car, after three consecutive storms but we did find a route there that was easy enough. It’s well worth fully reading Julia’s directions to figure the best route for you to take. The underfloor heating keeps the place cosy even without the log burner. There are great local walks. Plenty of things to keep you busy in Allendale (1.5hr walk) and Hadrians Wall is just a short drive away. Julia is great, her farm is lovely - fully recommend and would happily visit again!

Great location. First time away with our dog who also had a good time. Lots of good walks, short car journey to Allendale where pubs serve good food and even better pints.

Lovely funky little place, beautiful scenery, was a shame we had rain! There are chickens roaming about outside of the house and sheep in the fields nearby. Julia and her husband were so friendly and welcoming and have local recommendations. The place is very cosy with a huge log fire, we had a lovely time ☺️

The Glass House is a stunning space I a stunning landscape. Perfect escape to the country with our black lab who loved the countless walks from the front door. Highly recommend and hope to be back one day!

We went away for a couple of nights and it was great. A cute little barn with everything we needed. And very very cosy. Enjoyed the fact that there was no WiFi and poor signal, made us appreciate the time together more and the lush views rather than being distracted. Very muddy in the wet as you'd expect but didn't let it put us off. Some lovely walks to be had.

Amazing space! Beautifully furnished and heated floor was lovely on a cold, wet evening.

We had a great time at the Glass House! We did a bit of Isaac Tea Trail walk and it was just beautiful. Would love to stay again. Thank you!

Had the most amazing stay. So tranquil and secluded. The house is so impressive, spotlessly clean and comfortable. Anything you need - it’s there. We used the log burner and the underfloor heating made it so warm and cosy on a windy, winters night. The whole place is just really special. 10 minutes in the car to nice little pubs and great food at the golden lion in Allendale. Julia is so quick to respond and leaves you to your own devices but you know she’s around should you need anything. A really unique place and beautiful surroundings. Can imagine it’s gorgeous in summer with the BBQ and lovely little garden. Thank you Julia!!!

Quarry Barn is a lovely getaway in the perfect location! Michael & June were very responsive to messages and Michael greeted us upon arrival with some great tips and dog friendly recommendations for the local area! The Derwent Manor Hotel was within walking distance (great for a few drinks) and Derwent Reservoir was just 10 mins in the car. The barn was spotlessly clean and decorated throughout to a high standard. We hope to stay again in future!

Absolutely fantastic stay, wish we book for an extra night. Michael gave us loads of tips on places to visit and go for a drink, would definitely return for another visit.

Very well appointed with quality fittings, great location for Weardale and Durham.

Fabulous Place, very clean and great location for walks, great hosts

Second stay at this beautiful barn. A perfect, cosy retreat. Perfect location for walks around the nearby countryside. Modern and spotless.

This was a second stay at Quarry Barn, this time for a romantic hideaway for Valentines. Cosy and relaxing with an opportunity to walk from the front door and also to the nearby hotel across the fields for a beer or two. I’m sure we will go back again...hopefully when the sun is shining!

Michael and June's place is beautiful. Its a very clean and stylish place. They even left us some milk for our arrival. Lots to do and see nearby also. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic space really well put togetger, the shower is amazing and the bed is so comfortable. We saw some beautiful sunrises whilst we were there and took some lovely strolls down the lane next too the barn.

A beautiful cabin with a wonderful view. We had the most relaxing stay, the pod was sparkling clean and beautifully designed, the log burner was cosy and the decking and hot tub is lovely and private. Our host Sue even got in touch to say we could stay longer than the usual check out to shelter from the miserable weather! We will definitely book again.

Just had three amazing nights in the countryman... it did not disappoint! Fantastic views, perfectly private hot tub and deck area. The pods are beautifully furnished with homely touches. Brilliant location for exploring the local areas such as Kielder park and hadrians wall!! We will definitely visit again

Beautiful location and accommodation with friendly hosts. Loved getting out the city and into the middle of the country and the hot tub was a great wee bonus even in the middle of a storm! Hosts were so accommodating of our toddler and dog, providing a cot and high chair and making us all feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely pod. Will be back!

This was truly one of our most memorable and amazing weekend breaks, one that won't be forgotten. Neil, thank you so so much for the hospitality you was amazing. We will definitely be back again soon. Can't speak highly enough about the experience. We will definitely be recommending you to others. Only thing I would say is the pictures you have online for the pods and the surrounding area do not do it justice at all. The pods are stunning, brilliantly designed and built and the perfect size. You truly feel like you're the only people there. And even though all the pods were occupied we didn't hear or see anyone else. Secluded and truly beautiful. Can't wait to come back

AMAZING! Perfect for couples, really lovely local town with nice pubs! We loved it and can’t wait to return. Really easy going, friendly hosts who were more than happy to help with any problems. Can tell the hosts have worked really hard to create an amazing experience, highly recommend.

You will not be disappointed with your stay here . Everything is 5 star. Location, facilities, cleanliness, hosts 2 nights just wasn’t enough

Lovely place to stay for a quick get away. Very cosy with lovely views of the countryside. Would 100% recommend :)

The hut really is a peaceful escape with all the advantages of the city and beaches near. We took advantage of both, we bought our dog with us and she tucked perfectly under the bed! Durham city was really dog friendly. The facilities and special touches that Richard had added to the hut were just gorgeous, it is warm, cute and homely. Thank you Richard.

A lovely charming little hut. We didn't miss a thing, and had a great time. Very recommended.

The Hut in the Hollow is a very beautiful place to stay, it is full of character and cosy but has everything you need-we even had milk left for us and some snacks were provided. Richard is a fantastic host who responds very quickly to messages and my partner and I would be very happy to stay again.

It’s not surprising to see so many good reviews for the hut. It is a fantastic place, decorated so stylishly and thoughtfully. Location wise was excellent, we had no bother walking in and out of the city centre. Icing on the cake was the flawless communication. Cannot recommend highly enough!

This property is an amazing find! So many cute touches with their style, such a cosy place not far from the centre of Durham at all. Amazing for a much needed and relaxing holiday

Great space, cosy and everything we needed.

Lovely little place 25mins walk from the town centre a perfect getaway combined with my husbands graduation

A true oasis! Extra well organised, tidy, optimal use of the space, cosy! The hosts provided freshly ground coffee, an excellent selection of tea, fresh milk... I really hoped I could have stayed longer, and enjoy the wooden stove and the private garden. Fully recommend!

Peter’s apartment is fully equipped, very well decorated and very cozy. Everything was working perfectly. We had a wonderful time.

Beautiful home with everything you need, very easy check in and immaculately clean!! It’s very homely, I wish we could have stayed longer than one night!

Thanks for a lovely stay

Absolutely stunning and best Air BnB I have ever stayed

Absolutely perfect. We were in the area delivering a course at the local school and this ticked all the boxes. Peter's house is IMMACULATE, stylishly decorated and with lots of nice touches including fruit juice and gin in the fridge and cupboards of essentials. Will definitely stay again.

Peters place is a wonderful, cosy home from home. With a modern style you relax as soon as you enter. It is a 15 minute drive from town centre of Durham, half hour from Newcastle and in between for so many other places. The building of the estate still continues however when windows are closed you can't really hear it so it doesn't bother you much. We spent a week at Peters place, it was accessible, well decorated, clean and thoughtfully prepared. We'll be exploring more of Durham in the future, so will definitely stay again.

Our second stay at Peters house did not disappoint. Very comfortable & clean house located in easy reach of Durham, Newcastle and the little seaside town of Seaham. We will return.

Peter was excellent! Very helpful! Place was brilliant

Sweet little house, spotlessly clean and perfect for exploring local beaches. Would love to return one day x

Lovely, clean house, very warm and cosy. Ideally situated to the North East beaches and lovely coastal walks. We have visited several times and keep returning. Ellen is a great host.

Great value place with everything you need for your stay provided and a full range of local amenities close by : )

We really enjoyed our four night stay at Ellen's place. The house was spotlessly clean and the kitchen very well equipped. It was a warm and cosy environment to return to each day, after spending time with our family in the North East. Ellen was very hospitable and helpful and provides everything you could need. The DVD collection is large and we enjoyed watching some of the local history ones that portray the mining heritage of this region. When the first storm of 2020 hit the area on Monday 13th Jan, it was a real godsend to have a good Thai/Chinese takeaway just around the corner. Our Brittany Spaniel had a wonderful time. As many others have said, this coastline is great for dog walkers and the reclamation and improvements to the landscape are to be commended. Like so many other places in the North East, this former mining colliery has seen better days, but the people are friendly and helpful and Ellen has done a fantastic job of making this place so inviting, relaxing and comfortable. We do intend to return.

Cosy, clean with one of the best welcomes we have received would highly recommend.

Nice and cozy, cute place.

A grand place to stay for new years with plenty of walks and local amenities nearby. The locals are lovely, the area is indeed under improvement but it was still a very pleasant stay. We came so our dog didn't have to suffer through fireworks and he slept the whole night and didn't want to leave the property when we had to go home! Ellen is full of local knowledge and very caring, she's one of the nicest hosts we've had!

Lovely place, sparkling clean and a simple base for wandering the local area. Ellen was so hospitable and knowledgeable about the area. Will definitely stay again when we come visit the area.

Beautiful little cottage in a picturesque location, perfect for a weekend getaway. The cottage was really well equipped, comfy and homely and in a great spot. There was lots of little touches that all add up to make the perfect stay. We loved every minute of our weekend! Bev was a brilliant host! We’ll be back soon :-)

Absolutely fantastic cottage, cant wait to stay again

Lovely little cottage in a beautiful setting! Bev is such a kind and lovely host providing lovely kind extra touches and comprehensive tips for local amenities and walks. The cottage is private and well equipped throughout. A lovely stay is guaranteed!

i dont know where to start what a beautifull place and setting so clean and comfy really nice touches log fire underfloor heating and bev was fantastic lovely lady and so helpfull and cooper the dog our pups loved playing together will be back next year 100% thank you so much bev for a lovely stay kris hannah willow harper and teddy boy

Very comfortable accommodation with plenty of thoughtful touches

Plum Cottage is a wonderful place to stay. The location is stunning - quiet and peaceful and over looking the river wear, it is a true slice of heaven. The cottage itself is gorgeous, combining the charm of a cottage with all mod cons - the Wi-Fi was the best we had experienced in a holiday let and the kitchen and bathrooms were fantastic - loads of hot water. The wood burning stove was the icing on the cake. Bev was the perfect host, friendly, welcoming and helpful while also leaving you to enjoy your time there - knowing she was a phone call away if you needed anything. A truly five star experience.

An amazing home, everything you need and Bev is a great host! Can't wait to come back

Thanks Bev (superb host) for an amazing time. What a stunning cottage, perfect for making memories #loved it!!

You will find everything you could possibly need in this lovely cottage. Very comfortable bed and easy chairs and excellent TV reception. Warm and kindly hosts.

A really fab stay. Both incredibly helpful with everything we needed and any questions we had. Will definitely be back for another stay! Yummy cheese toasty was an absolute treat!

We really enjoyed our stay in Lanchester. Our hosts were so nice and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble and had recommendations for all sorts of activities and restaurants. The accommodation is superb, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay - including the all important bottle opener! The lodge is spacious and has a lovely good sized wet room. Comfortable armchairs have been provided so you have options should you choose to have a cozy night in as we did. Our hosts even went to the trouble of stocking books and board games. Lots of little extras such as shampoo, body wash, body cream etc were provided in the bathroom. And the kitchen was stocked with bread and milk for our arrival - which is always a lovely touch. Next time we are in the North East we will be staying here again.

If you're looking for a perfectly equipped hideaway, then this is just the place. Small but spacious with lots of sunlight flooding in.

The lodge was fantastic! It had everything you needed for a break away. The extra touches of the little treats, bread, milk and eggs were lovely! The host is very friendly and nothing is too much trouble.

Absolutely fabulous place to stay. Everything you need and more. Comfy bed, great wet room, sparkling clean and great hosts. What more could you want! Highly recommended :-)

Lovely holiday home, very clean and everything you needed for your stay. Even called before we arrived to check what bread & milk we needed. Super hosts. Strongly recommend to others. One possible thing that would have helped, a stronger hoover. This is only because our collie is very hairy and I was paranoid re the hairs. Not complaining in any way re this. Thanks for a brill holiday Graeme & Jacky

we thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay here..the lodge was everything we hoped for and more...perfect hosts for whom nothing was to much trouble...everything from providing us with provisions to tips on things to see and do made our stay at Linden lodge a really fab one...thank you

Great location and a lovely property

Very cosy, everything you need, great location in outstanding countryside. Lovely to know host was only next door. Such a home from home, everything thought of . Would highly recommend 😁

Katrinas place is outstanding. It has a very comprehensive range of kitchen utensils/plates/glassware etc and the cooking facilities were excellent. Rooms are immaculately clean. They are also spacious and comfortable. I really can't think of anything that was less than a high standard and I will certainly be adding this to my list of "stay agains" In addition, Katrina is the perfect host. Excellent communication. Very helpful. definitely 5 stars.

Katrina’s cottage was everything I hoped it would be. It had the look of an old farm house but the amenities of modern day. I loved getting to see all of the cows and sheep in the pasture. Very relaxing place and not too far from civilization. Would definitely stay again and would recommend to anyone that wants some quiet time in the country. Was a little sad that the hot tub died before my stay, but Katrina made up for it by reducing the rate and providing a great place to stay with some nice little touches.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Katrina's cottage. We stayed with our 2 daughters and they loved it. They were fascinated with the working farm around the cottage, watching the cows and sheep being moved from field to field kept them amused. This was our second time staying and we would stay again in a heartbeat, very clean and homely. Katrina is a great host who goes out of her way to make you feel welcome and adds little surprise home comforts to make your stay even better. Would highly recommend.

This is an excellent cottage, sparkling clean, has everything you need. The views from the garden are splendid and the flock of sheep kept us entertained for hours. Katrina has supplied some lovely supplies and the cottage is very comfortable and cosy. Katrina and the family are very welcoming. Would highly recommend this cottage.

Fantastic place for families! We traveled there with our two little girls ages 4 and 2. She set up the cottage with baby gates, toys, a pack n play and more. Our kids loved being able to see the sheep and cows. The views are stunning. It’s a great location to see the English countryside and we were able to drive to several castles from this location. I would highly recommend this place!!! Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

Beautiful location and cottage. Immaculately clean and a friendly host.

Absolutely beautiful both inside and out! The staff was superb as was the food, accommodations, and experience!!! Without a doubt we would stay here again, next time for longer!!!

What a nice experience. Beautiful place. Love the grounds. Our bed was heavenly! Beautiful bedding and attention to detail with bathroom amenities. Great English castle experience!

An absolutely amazing stay in this fabulous old building. Great bed. Awesome breakfast to start the day. Thank you very much !😀

Just fantastic. Peaceful location, fantastic accommodation, friendly hosts, brilliant atmosphere. Great touches all over the house - and a very welcome attitude to 'explore' and discover. Hats, swords, pictures, blankets, games, a cinema (!) and loads more. Highly recommended!

Great place, a real castle experience. Food was excelent and best part is everyone’s hospitability. Highly recommended!!

I’d like to recommend to anyone who is looking for castle-living. That is amazing stay and my kids love it very much. The little one can play at the toy room for a whole day. The castle is close to the Lake District. It is totally fine if you want to go and back at the same day. There is some miss understanding when we booked the room. Wendy give us two beds with a reasonable price, which is really nice. We will surely come and visit next time.

It was an absolutely fantastic experience staying at Augill Castle and we will definitely come back. Everything was spot on and the food was excellent! The rooms and the exterior are even nicer than in the pictures. We highly recommend this accommodation.

Augill Castle is truly special. The history of the place, the way Simon and Wendy have restored it, and the way they run it today were all exceptional. I loved the informal nature of our stay--it really feels like you're with family when you're at Augill. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone traveling to the Lake District. And the rooms (and linens!) are incredible to boot.

Cosy and stylish place. Very clean. Sam was very kind and made me feel comfortable and welcome!

A lovely house, very clean and amazing value.. Sam was a fantastic host. I would definitely recommend to others. And he made a huge fuss of my dog.

I enjoyed my stay at Sam’s place. He was very friendly and kind. The place is perfectly made for a single person. Completely clean and comfortable. The location is just 3-5 minutes of bus ride from the Bus station. Would give 10/10 for the place.

Bargain price, Sam is a great host - easy communications and check in.

Great host. Quiet and very approachable!

This is a great place to stay!

Sam is a greta host you could wish to meet. His place is spotless, he responds quickly to and inform you anything of interest.

Clean Central perfect for the solo traveler great host

Gutted that we only stayed here for one night whilst on the way to Scotland. A lovely place in a unique setting that we would go back to so that can we can explore more of the area. Loved all of the little touches throughout and was more than suitable for our 1 and a 1/2 year old. Thank you and hopefully will be back again one day!

Lovely peaceful house, welcoming, responsive host, very interesting street and area. We’d love to come back and spend more time here.

Jane is incredibly welcoming and a super host. The flat is finished with character and is very clean. It is situated in a lovely street with great nature on your doorstep. There is a brilliant collection of books and games that had me very entertained me in the evenings. I will certainly be coming back again!

A cosy, clean and comfortable flat with good facilities and a warm welcome.

Delightful accommodation, a warm and friendly welcome, without being intrusive. Definitely will stay again.

Lovely place with lots of character. Jane was a very thoughtful host, putting the heating on for arrival and leaving us some milk. The parking was very convenient. The flat was very homely and welcoming and there is a garden area. The location is great with lots of outdoor activities around. Thanks for having us!

Jane's place is quite delightful, though a bit out of the way. If you're looking for a relaxed stay, it's perfect! Bathroom is very nice and the garden is very attractive. Very enjoyable!

Original accommodation, nice and comfortable. There is everything you need to enjoy your stay and visit the region. Communication very friendly and responsive. It is an address to recommend.

The cottage has a lot of rustic charm with exposed beams and an open fire. It has all the facilities you would need as well as nice touches like fuel for the fire (which was alight when arrived !) and breakfast items for you first morning. The village is very quiet with just a pub (good beer and good food) a couple of minutes walk away.

Cosy, cute, warm and lovely little house. Spent a very nice night in a great little part of Co. Durham. It felt like home.

Good Stay. Thanks Emma

Great cottage loved the fire and little touches definitely going too visit again x

A lovely little cottage, having the real fire was a lovely treat, as it was really cold on the night time. The host even left us some supplies to make breakfast. Would definitely recommend this place.

Lovely little one bed cottage in a lovely little village. Local pub close by and dog friendly. Having a lit fire when we arrived was amazing, thank you. Added extras were great also, like breakfast items and bathroom essentials like wipes etc. We had a great 2 night break away with our daughter and dogs. Host very responsive and helpful.

Dani’s cottage is the perfect location for a peaceful break. It definitely saved us from the Christmas madness. Everything about this place eludes charm. From start to finish Dani couldn’t have been more helpful. From walking in to a lit open fire helping warm us on a cold day, to exploring the quaint cottage to find more thoughtful touches like fresh milk and bread and the Christmas decorations; everything was perfect. The ideal setting for walkers and dog owners.

Beautiful little cottage, dani is a great host and lots of lovely touches .

Such a fabulous place to stay

Beautiful cosy cottage, 4 of us and dog stayed, plenty of room for us all. There were thoughtful touches like a ready made fire and basket of items for our dog to use. Immaculately clean and everything needed was there for a self cater weekend. The host was super friendly and made check in nice and simple, which we like after a long drive. The Moss Inn just round the corner is a must, great staff and great atmosphere. The cottage is a good base to see lots of the local area which is stunning. We highly recommend and will definitely book again.

Great place to stay. Host very helpful.

Lovely place, couldn't fault it. John and his mum were lovely and very helpful. Good location for exploring the beautiful countryside and some gorgeous sunsets. The Moss Inn was great value and delicious food

Had a lovely stay - great touches like the doggy pack, fire being set ready to light on arrival made it all very pleasant.

Lovely house and great communication with John.

John was a wonderful host and walked us around the cottage, explaining how to use amenities. The log burner was well used and enjoyed. We cooked a Sunday lunch easily as the kitchen provided lots of utility. The beds were very comfortable. The area is surrounded by stunning countryside and lots to do. John provided love Christmas touches in the cottage which were lovely. We would highly recommend this cottage. Thanks John.

Such a lovely place to stay! Close enough to Durham and amenities but rural enough to be quiet! Comfortable beds and the fireplace is stunning. I will stay here again

Beautiful and tranquil. Lovely comfy space with the most thoughtful touches and sound of the river outside. Arrived on a clear night and the view of the stars here was magnificent :)

We had a lovely time at Bill's place. The airbnb was lovely, clean and welcoming. Bill was very helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend staying at Bill's. Thank you for having us! 10/10 stay!

Lovely little place! So welcoming with the breakfast pieces and really cosy. Amazing watching the birds and hearing the river below. Thanks Bill, this was really special

The most thoughtful and beautiful place I’ve ever stayed! You can hear the river on the patio and the room is so cute! Would highly recommend

The place was extremely quaint and ideal for couples looking for a little relaxation away from the world. Situated perfectly above the running river. We had a great time and everything was as described. Lovely little touches like the breakfast rolls and jam etc where very much appreciated. You’ve created a fantastic little hidden gem Bill and I would recommend to anybody Whispering Waters

The view in the morning was spectacular.

This is a perfect place for a get away. A gorgeous spot in the countryside which is a stones throw away from some amazing, beautiful spots. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

Bills place is a quaint little stay, very unique filled with beautiful little touches plus... we loved hearing the tees below us :)

Such a great social space to spend New Years Eve with friends and family. The beds were super comfy and there are some picturesque walks very close to the Chapel - low force was a particular highlight. The selection of board games to suit all ages was a bonus too.

Stayed at the Chapel on the Hill over Christmas for 5 nights and enjoyed every single minute there. All the rooms were well equipped and stylishly decorated, no stone had been unturned when this chapel was renovated. The designer and architect obviously took their time on the Chapel, WOW it’s an amazing place to stay. Then you have the spectacular views from all the windows, and your bedroom. We left our bedroom blind up so we could look at the stars at night (unfortunately all nights were overcast) we had the best neighbours ever (Sheep) perfect. The little village of Middleton-in-Teesdale was quaint and Bernard Castle had all the shops you needed. We would definitely come back, again and again. Thank you Anna for being so prompt with our questions.

Our second time here and we loved it just as much as the first!

The house is excellent, beautiful and in an amazing remote location. I highly recommend it

The Chapel on the Hill is fantastic! We had a great time celebrating a birthday here and I would definitely recommend booking it for a trip. The place is clean, comfy and finished to a very high standard. It’s located in a great area for fresh air and walking. Anna was also very helpful and we can’t thank her enough for a great trip!

The Chapel is an outstandingly beautiful place to escape to. Not only is the whole place decorated with style and flair, but the 360 views around the North Pennines are simply stunning. We had a fantastic stay with a 10 month old and a very excited 3.5 year old. It is our favourite AirBnB destination we have been to so far and we will definitely be back again next time we need to get away from the madness of city life.

For peace, tranquility and spectacular rural beauty, you will never find a better place then the Chapel on the Hill. I cannot begin to describe the absolute “perfectness” of this one-time Methodist Chapel. Not only is the Chapel the perfect place to relax and unwind, it is also within easy driving distance of quaint English villages with surprisingly good restaurants and amazing natural beauty. This is one of the most wonderful places we have ever visited. It is spotlessly clean and wonderfully appointed. I cannot thank Anna enough.

This is an amazing house, Our family have very beautiful vacation in here. Around the house is pretty grass covered and mountain view. the animals are very close the house, we all enjoy this comfortable and natural view ! This charming house and 4 rooms , 3 bathrooms, a piano ,fireplace and fully equipped kitchen. we feel very relax at here. By the way, because we have some problem with wifi, but the host reply quickly and kindly. thank for her ! We will really miss this charming and cozy place !

What a lovely hideaway Carlene's place is! We were house hunting around Lanchester and Wolsingham and it was perfectly located for us. We had snow, sleet and the very windy Storm Jorge during our short stay but The Annexe was super cosy! We loved it so much that after a long day of house viewings we opted for a bottle of wine and a takeaway for night 2. We didnt use the kitchen but can say that it was really well equipped. Bed is super comfy (we only used the one in the upper open plan area) - it is just a great place all round. Carlene was a lovely host and responded to all my questions and enquiries really quickly, we met and had a chat, she's lovely. If she'll have us, we will be back!

This was our second visit here and we all loved it! Amazing if you have children as there are toys and games. Nice setting in the countryside but close to so many places. We will be back.

MY wife and I were staying in the area for a wedding and the Carlene's property "The Annexe "was the perfect accommodation for the 2 of us . It is has been tastefully converted into a wonderfully equipped and very clean property. It is Ideally located for visitors wishing to explore not just the local area but Co. Durham and Tyneside.

We had a great stay at the annex, would defiantly recommend!

A beautiful little gem, this really was a great place. We arrived after dark and found it easily with the instructions given, it was cosy and warm when we arrived and spotlessly clean. I would definitely stay there again.

A wonderful place to stay. Beautiful countryside location as well as a very stylish and homely space. Beautifully clean and great communication with host. I would happily recommend to others and would come back to stay again.

Amazing value for money! The Annex was sparkling clean, perfectly equipped and for us, was in an ideal location. As it was the festive period when we visited, Carlene had taken the time to decorate the property which was a really nice touch. A lovely modern properly with a real homely feel. Thank you.

Great place clean, safe, very stylish. Fantastic communication with the host Carlene.

The host is trying really hard to upgrade the property to a high standard. This will be completed soon. The Pool table was full size and good quality. The kitchen table allowed 8 of us to play Monopoly. House was warm. This is a good house for families. Toilet lights came on automatically. Small item, but great at night. The house easily holds 8. It can hold 16, but the extras are put in a dormitory room which is basic. Bernard Castle is the friendliest town I have come across. Bowes Museum and Loco museum in Shildon great.

The stables were great for our party of 15 staying for the weekend. The kitchen is large and well equipped, with enough dining space for everyone too! Perfect location, on a scenic farm and only 10 mins drive from Barnard Castle, Peter was a brilliant host! Everyone had a great stay, fantastic spacious house that I would highly recommend!

We stayed at Raygill Farm for my hen do. The cottage was very spacious, plenty of room for all of us, including in the kitchen and living room. Peter was very friendly and helpful on arrival and when we left. The cottage is in a lovely scenic area and it was nice to be able to walk around the farm and see the lambs and horses. Great place for a nice relaxing visit. Thanks Peter!

We had a fantastic weekend. The Stables are huge ! Our party was made up of 16 across all ages, we had plenty of room and didn't feel as though we were on top of each other. The facilities were good, everything you need really. The location of the stables is on a farm, which is brilliant, with plenty of horses and a couple of friendly pigs. One of the farmers even brought a baby lamb over to show to the children in our group, they loved it. The Stables are about 20 minutes easy walking through pretty woodland to Barnard Castle, well worth a look. Throughout, Peter communicated really well with us. He made it clear that if we needed anything we only had to give him a call. We'll definitely be back in the future. Good luck Peter

Lovely, comfortable and spacious house ideal for large parties. Lots of great walks in the local area and a very welcoming host.

Great place for a large group, the house is well provisioned for cooking with big fridge freezer and plenty of space to cook and eat. Pool table is a nice addition and we were able to catch the rugby on the big screen before heading out for the evening. Peter's communication is fantastic, we spoke multiple times during booking and I knew exactly what to expect. He even helped us book some activities and check-in was easy. Would stay again.

I only stayed at Emma’s for one night, in preparation for an Exam I had in Bishop Auckland. It was the perfect place to stay to relax and get myself ready. I can see that this apartment would be great for larger groups too, including families, looking to get away and have some quality time.

The Regent's Chambers was a lovely flat and had all the amenities we needed. Emma was a fantastic host with great communication and a very handy check in video! The flat is about a 5min walk from the main high street and there's two big supermarkets a few minutes further. The town was lovely though it was just a shame we couldn't get out and about much because of the storm. If you're eating in Bishop Auckland I definitely recommend Beedles Chippy and Panda Panda. We managed to make a quick stop (40mins away) in the North Pennines on our drive back home. If you only have a little bit of time, I highly recommend the High Force falls. It was absolutely stunning and feels like you've been transported to somewhere in North America! I wish we could have spent a lot longer there!

A great place to stay if you’re in the area. All we needed and more. Will definitely stay here again next time we visit.

Lovely accommodation plenty of space for a large family. Very comfortable beds.

We stayed for an evening for a work trip, it was in an ideal location for us. It is quite a big space and could have definitely stayed for more than one day. Garden is secure if you have a dog, cannot hear much noise from the flat above. Nice little touches like cereals, butter, bread which you dont get from many air b and b's. Thanks Emma

Excellent.

A wonderful, comfortable and clean accommodation - couldn't recommend it highly enough. We will definitely use this property again.

Really good value for money. We had a great stay and very warm

Great place to stay, lived up to high expectations.

Comfortable and private space

Lovely apartment. Very clean and comfortable. Beautiful views.

Lovely large space with spacious bathroom. Very clean and comfortable. Beautiful surroundings.

We stayed the night before a wedding in the local area, the room is lovely and has everything you need for a short stay. Carlene was so helpful when we were arriving, even though we had a really late check in. We would love to come back!

This is a lovely quiet location with a large room and en-suite. It was sparkling clean and Carlene sent very clear instructions to help find it. Highly recommended!

Fantastic space, stylish room. Massive bed. Would highly recommend

Great place really easy to get to and perfect for our visit to Durham University.

Clean, beautiful views, good location. No free parking as originally advertised however there is a local car park over the road.

cottage is very nice & cosy, has everything you would need to stay. some great places to sit & look out into the country side in the cottage!

Rachael's place is a great way to explore the surrounding area! It's warm and cosy, there's plenty of room, and the little kitchen was well-stocked with pans and utensils, which we found really useful. The surroundings are beautiful, and there's a great local pub within easy walking distance. Communication was super-swift and friendly. Thanks for a great stay!

We stayed at the cottage for 2 nights whilst attending a wedding at Derwent Manor and we loved it. It was a lovely quiet location with great views. The house had everything we needed and the kitchen was well stocked. Rachael was a great host, friendly and with excellent communication. We definitely recommend!

I cannot recommend enough and will certainly return! Rachael was super helpful from the moment we booked, giving us lots of great recommendations of things to do and welcoming us on arrival. The cottage itself is sparkling clean with plenty of space, cosy and in a lovely location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, particularly relaxing and watching the horses from the window in the evenings - we couldn't have asked for a better trip! Thank you again!

Great host, beautiful place close enough to amenities but far enough to enjoy the peace and quiet. Quirky spacious cottage with everything you need. Comfy sofas and bed. A gorgeous spot to watch the sun rise too - the perks of traveling with a toddler! We'll definitely be back and hopefully get to see the horses next time! Xxx

Great space tucked away in the beautiful countryside, great for walks and days out in Hexham and Corbridge. Rachael is an ideal host and is extremely helpful - 100% recommend Garden Cottage to other visitors.

Rachael has an amazing place which is a perfect rural retreat! The cottage is beautifully styled and Rachael and Dave were fantastic hosts! Would definitely stay here again

Perfect romantic getaway for the weekend! The cottage was amazing and exceeded our expectations.

Had a lovely stay here. Everything was clean, tidy & the place felt very homely. Grant went above & beyond for us to ensure our stay was perfect. Will be visiting again

What a great place and host. Very clean and tidy. Hot tub was nice and bacon and free range eggs for breakfast lush thanks grant.

We had a lovely stay at Grant's place and will definitely be back! The hot tub is fantastic and the sauna is a nice added touch.

When we arrived we had a very warm welcome from Hettie who showed us around and explained everything The cottage was clean and tidy the bed very comfy We couldn’t wait to get in to the hot tub and use the sauna but due to storm Dennis kicking off we vacated early Grant and Hettie understood our reasons for vacating early and due to the severe weather conditions have offered us to return in better weather free of charge Which we felt was very humble of them and will be returning in the summer

Absolutely lovely stay. The host couldn’t do enough for us but left us to enjoy privately as soon as we were checked in The hot tub is amazing and clean, as was the fab sauna. Such a fun girly night away. Really comfortable and clean rooms too, great nights sleep Lots of local takeaways and shops if needed

This is a hidden gem absolutely outstanding they literally can’t do enough to make you feel comfortable. Everything was perfect you need to visit to understand. Don’t miss out on this amazing retreat. We will definitely be back soon.

Fabulous great value one night stay for my birthday. Comfy bed, lovely large hot tub and sauna and cool smart TV. Perfect relax

Great Place!!!

Great location in the village. Excellent facilities. Very clean and comfortable.

The cottage was absolutely perfect, ideal for a long weekend. Have fond memories of living in Wolsingham as a young child, loved being able to visit again. Would recommend the Italian as well as both pubs in the village. Very likely to return in future.

Cosy little place - clean, comfortable, warm and quiet. Good value for money. Just be aware, you need to be reasonably agile to negotiate the spiral staircase.

First time using airbnb and very happy with Millstream lodge,quiet, spotlessly clean and had everything you needed for a short stay. A great base for exploring Co. Durham Off street parking a bonus plus at the end of the lane was a great Italian restaurant which we used both nights.

Quiet location off the main road but close to the shop and Italian Restaurant. The flat was self contained, on two levels and had everything you needed. It looked new and bright and clean.

This is a delightful apartment. Quiet and peaceful and equipped with all the amenities you need. The internal staircase is quite steep but charming nevertheless.

We had an excellent stay in Millstream Lodge. It's location is excellent in the centre of Wolsingham close to pubs, shops cafes and restaurants. The beautiful Hamsterley Forest is nearby where we spent a day cycling. There are lots of other attractions in the area. The lodge was very well appointed and the decor is modern and stylish, but still has a country feel to it. The kitchen was well equipped to cook, and had an added bonus of a dishwasher which we weren't expecting. Janette was a great welcoming host. We will certainly be staying here again.

Really nice stay for a couple of nights and the property had everything we could need. It is located in a beautiful area. We did a stunning local 4-mile walk from one of the leaflets left in the property for local events/days out. We also dined at the local Italian restaurant which was great value for money (we went to the happy hour) and just a couple of minutes walk away from the property. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again if we were back in the area.

Excellent place for a quiet getaway to escape from all the city disturbances. Lovely clean place that has everything you need!

A great find! Overall an amazing experience, the lodge has beautiful & was presented lovely! Everything was clean & the lovely extras of a log fire & hot tub were great. I would recommend anyone to visit, we will be back.

Such a lovely place, absolutely perfect!

We had the best time! So cosy and relaxing, and Neil was a lovely, helpful host. Will definitely be back in future!

A beautiful escape in the countryside. Recommended to all our friends as it is a little gem.

Can’t say thanks enough for our lovely stay! The pods were out of this world the photos on Airbnb don’t do them justice they are huge in person and every little detail is so perfect! Neil looked after us so much and kept in communication with us throughout our stay to ensure we had the best experience! Also it was my 21st celebrations and they went out of their way to decorate the inside for us coming which was so lovely! We are coming back in the summer with more friends for sure! ❤️ Thanks very much!

Myself and my partner stayed at this pod for our anniversary. Everything from a picturesque views of the country to the cozy and homely touches and decor inside and of course the hot tub was honestly just amazing. Neil couldn’t of been more helpful in communicating quickly and giving us information of what we need to know on arrival to then letting us enjoy our stay but only being a call or message away if needed. We will definitely be coming back in the future!

Absolutely amazing views, pods are quirky, comfortable and warm. Hot Tub heats up quick. Just a great trip in an idyllic setting, will definitely return in the not too distant future.

Great hosts. Responded quickly to any queries! Gorgeous little property. Very very clean. Nice thoughtful touches. Highly recommend.

Lovely little house for a quiet night away. The breakfast pack was a thoughtful touch as well! Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely top notch. Nothing was too much trouble for Tim & Julie. Great premises, great value. Definitely hope to stay again if in the area.

What an amazing space . Very well decorated and beautiful soft furnishings. Everything you need for a relaxing get away. The added touches were much appreciated. We really can not praise this place and the hosts enough. Looking forward to a return visit .

Anyone staying here will be amazed and mote than satisfied the place is extremely clean and a superb space. Tim and Julie are great and words can not describe how amazing the place is and what a wonderful stay i had, my advice is to book when you can as this is a place not to be missed

Perfect little retreat. Excellent hosts.

Perfect - would thoroughly recommend

Everything we needed. We will visit again, thanks

A homely place to be - just what was needed.

Comfortable with lots of little extras plus a gem of a fish and chips nearby. Great location for walks and for Durham.

Five star luxury in every way!

Clean and comfortable house.

Very dog friendly property, fantastic garden space. Lovely walks from the doorstep and a very quiet area to stay in. Not far from Durham and easy to get to Durham from the property. Would highly recommend.

Anthony's place was as described. It was homely and had many lovely personal touches. It was easy enough to get into Durham city when we required and was a quiet stay for family time. Definitely would recommend.

Excellent accommodation with everything you need! Lovely log burner and the Christmas decorations were a great touch!

Great place We really loved every bit of the place Thank you so much

Nigel is a very welcoming host, we had a lovely stay at his place which was spotlessly clean; lovely breakfast made for us each day, loved having tea making stuff in the room. Nigel was very friendly and helpful, would recommend a stay here!

Nigel is an outstanding host who is very knowledgeable about the area and incredibly hospitable. Don't let the distance from the nearby cities impact your decision to stay as here because it is well worth it.

We spent one night at Nigel’s en route to Newcastle Airport. Very comfortable and clean accommodation and Nigel’s hospitality was 5 stars. Brilliant value for money. Thank you!

Nigel is the perfect host, I only wish the star rating was higher than 5!! Nigel was thoughtful, helpful and made my stay (which was for a course) wonderful. The breakfasts were so lovely, little touches like flowers, bottled water and fruit in the room were just amazing. Fantastic value for money, such a lovely clean house. Nigel even let me do my clothes washing there. All in all it was a much better stay than any hotel I have been in. If I need to stay up in consett again I will definitely be booking with nigel.

Nigel was very nice and helpful. He cooked me breakfast every morning and even cooked me lunch and dinner once. He was very helpful in giving me information about the area.

Without a doubt, the best stay I have ever booked. Nigel is an incredible host who goes above and beyond to make your time at his wonderful property amazing. His place is spotless, warm and cozy. The location is perfect for public transport and local amenities, which Nigel cheerfully directed me to. There is so many lovely points, I could go on and on, therefore I couldn't recommend this booking highly enough. This place is home from home and a real diamond of a stay. Would definitely book again.

Nigel was very welcoming and we had a lovely hot drink and sandwiches on arrival. He is a fount of information on Durham and we had a wonderful tour of the cathedral by Nigel. Lovely stay.

Really nice clean, comfortable house and great hospitality. Would definitely visit again
