Family-friendly holiday rentals in Shieldfield

Billy and his wife were very welcoming. We had a cake baked for us and the apartment was very clean and homely.

The photos don’t do this place justice. It really is beautiful. Quaint, spacious, clean and tidy. Plenty of facilities such as vac, mop, washing machine, dryer, cleaning products etc. Kitchen is a lovely space to all sit together. Bedrooms were very spacious and room for clothes etc. Lovely nights sleep in comfortable beds. Central heating worked a treat with log fire in the room (we didn’t need to use) including other heaters. It is lovely and warm and cosy. The views and surrounding areas are lovely. We used the hot tub which was a lovely addition and worked well been outside the conservatory part. We were a family group of mixed ages and we would absolutely stay here again. Host was great with contact prior to arrival with flexible check in/out. Overall a brilliant stay and we’ve also said we would return.

The place was small but cozy and directly on the walking trail and next door to a pub. The hot tub was a nice touch. Mandy was so responsive and helpful to every request.

Emma’s place is lovely exactly as described. The garden was a great bonus hot tub was wonderful. We were in Newcastle due to the Magic Weekend so we used the house as a base for 2 families. Everyone had a great time perfect place for us to get together. Communications were very good.. Thank you Emma and your family for allowing us to stay in your home.

Brilliant stay.. so peaceful and spacious inside and out! Really well equipped and huge hot tub that is actually hot :) Will definitely stay again!

Claire was the best host. The house is great and she even left nice muffins as a welcome. Super lovely and would definitely recommend.

Absolutely perfect house suitable for a gathering. Plenty of open space to socialize

Stayed at Michaels whilst working at the University and it was superb. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need. Communication was great throughout. Highly recommend.

Really nice place in the perfect location for where I wanted to stay. The place was really nice and homely and had everything we needed and more. Very child friendly. Mark was very responsive and helpful. I’d love to stay again.

Wonderful place, as Bev says - the place gives you a warm hug. Relaxing, quiet, and perfect rest for us and our anxious rescue dog! Lovely being near the river, lots of birds and wildlife nearby. Felt right at home and hope to return again soon!

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

The photos do not do the place justice - it is absolutely beautiful and so thoughtfully decorated. So much bigger than it looked online too and we had a great stay. The only issue we had was that the hot water stopped working mid way through the day. Elizabeth was super helpful and responsive to the problem but we had to be in Newcastle for early evening so it meant 6 of our party had to have freezing cold showers one day as the water took too long to come back on. Other than that, I can’t fault it. Surroundings are beautiful. So peaceful and yet close to shops, airport (25 mins), a gorgeous spa (matfen hall), and a 35 min minibus to Newcastle. Would recommend to all.

Lynnes property was such a great find. It offered us (four adults, two children, one dog), such a great place to base ourselves for our week away. The house is much bigger than it looks in the photos and it has everything you need including loads of useful items for small children (toys, plates/ bowls, toilet seat etc.). We definitely recommend Lynnes place.

Very friendly and helpful hosts,greeted us on arrival and explained everything to us. We were just blown away with the chapel,Lisa and her husband did an amazing job restoring the chapel,very cosey and warming equipped with everything you need. We wouldn't change a thing about the place,in our eyes it was flawless and restored with a great passion. There is very nice walks through the countryside and rivers,with plenty of restaurants, take aways,pubs around the next towns within walking distance. We will definately be coming back that's for sure. thank you 😊

Lovely accommodation and great host. We very much appreciated the spacious house plus the animals on the farm and local wildlife. Caroline was was very welcoming and offered useful suggestions for things to do and ways to get about.

What a lovely stay we had, apartment is so nice and clean,host is super friendly and helpful. Thank you for hosting us 🙏🏻

Lovely accommodation felt right at home very comfortable would defo stay again when in the area 👍🏻

Had a great 2 night stay just me and my pooch Beryl, right on the beach, I took my camera and got some great shots on from the attic window, lovely beach walks and great food at granny Annie's where dogs are very welcome, will definitely stay again !!

Great place to stay, a 1-2 minute walk to the beautiful beaches. The house was clean and well equipped and was really spacious, especially downstairs. We appreciated the large sofas and kitchen with good space to sit and eat. The main bedroom had a good, comfy bed and the two single rooms have a view of the sea. Great to have towels, tea towel, washing up stuff and basics like oil and salt/pepper provided. The only thing to note is that there is a high-level frosted window between the bathroom and one of the single bedrooms, meaning that the light from the bathroom shines into that room. The house is opposite the pub but was quiet so didn't really notice. Newbiggin is a lovely place to stay, I'd would definitely stay here again if we visit again.

lovely place. Easy to walk to from station, ease of check in. plug and play. super clean. convenience second to none for getting around all over seaham. perfect

My work colleague and I needed a place for 4 weeks of work in Newcastle, and Thomas’ place was perfect. Great amenities, well equipped kitchen, with a dining table, lots of space upstairs, effectively we had a floor and bathroom each. The centre of town is only a 20 mins walk. Thomas was a superb host. It’s a charming home. Thanks so much.

We were staying up there for my Sons wedding , then we stayed on a little over Christmas to see the children . The Ubers are amazing and I just downloaded the app ‘Uber eats ‘ as well and they can do a shop for you from the Coop ,Sainsbury’s and Tesco and more . Uber travel was very good and reasonable . Area of house is great for Newcastle , Durham or Bernard castle area . Rooms are a good size , beds comfortable. Walking for elderly parents was nice and they increased their fitness immensely , as the fresh air has helped them along with the trips to the countryside which is all around . Very Clean throughout . Comfy sofa and large chair. Great for a family . Garden is enclosed and very safe . Rachel has been a very kind host , and fast to respond to any querys , I would recommend the area and the home , the locals are friendly and there’s a Tesco express which has a bit of everything , in walking distance . Warm and welcoming, banister on stairs plenty of cupboards . A*

I felt like I was home. Yeah the place isn't the most modern but it is the very homely. Everything you need is there.
