Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Sunderland

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.

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.

Lovely house, everything we needed, perfect for exploring the coast. Great communication with Ellen

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

The property was perfect for what I needed, I was working in the area and allowed me a place to work between meetings, cook in the evenings and relax and also get a good nights sleep. Parking was at the back of the property and never had a problem parking the car anytime of the day. Cameron was helpful with any questions I had and always responded quickly. Great location easy to commute in the local area.

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!

This is a lovely little hideaway for the few days that we were there. The hosts are very friendly and the milk, coffee and fruit were very welcomed. A lovely cosy area to sit in the sun, situated right by the door. Comfortable, clean and handy for the Metro within 5 mins walk. Local shops within easy walking distance. A very peaceful stay. Highly recommended

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

Myself and my partner really enjoyed our stay at Danielle’s one bedroom flat. Located down a pretty street, it was easy to locate and park. The flat itself had all of the luxuries that you could ask for. The yard area was secure so if you do take a dog, you don’t have to worry about it escaping. I would highly recommend and also would happily return.

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.

Jen was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. The place was very quiet and super clean when we arrived. It is decent sized for a few nights stay and has everything you'd need, including an info booklet with details on local takeaways etc. There is private parking and WiFi available which were both a nice touch. We hope to return again when in the area

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.

Fintan's place is located in the attractive village of Ovingham and is very convenient for accessing places along the Tyne Valley as well as Hadrian's Wall. The bed and shower were both great and all essential needs are provided for.
