First Cottage
First Cottage was a wonderful place to stay. Great location (very quiet), clean, everything you could need and very homely. Janice was a great host and all instructions were clear. Great holiday, good value for money and would definitely recommend. Melanie.

Beach House ~ Fun+Stylish+Practical ~ Drive+Garden
The house was spotless with plenty of room downstairs for us. The main bedroom was large and lovely with an ensuite shower/ toilet. The other 2 bedrooms were smaller but perfect for our needs. All beds were very comfy. The kitchen/diner was VERY well stocked with everything thing we could have needed. Lovely welcome basket with fresh bread and milk with some goodies too and a fresh bag of coffee. Lots of little thoughtful extras, like books, games, doggy items, beach towels and a fab record player! We loved sitting in the garden in the morning and evening. Hardly noticed there were neighbours as it was very peaceful despite being a residential area. We loved our stay and if back in the area would definitely stay again. Thanks to our friendly host, Gary.

Delightful cosy seaside house, Mara Vido
Stayed for three nights at Rosemary's place and would not hesitate to stay again or recommend to others. Excellent communication, lovely house and a perfect location. My son slept well in the pull out bed and he really enjoyed playing with the table football. Thank you!

This was my third stay at Ben’s flat for a short, work-related trip. The flat was extremely clean as usual, cosy as described, 20 min away on foot from Newcastle University where I work, very close to HayMarket and the city centre, which is perfect for me. Ben is always helpful and friendly. I would heartily recommend the flat for a single person or a couple !

Lady Rhoda
This was the perfect little cottage for our stay: it had everything we needed and we felt right at home straight away. Ben was a super helpful host with lots of useful communications before we arrived, and was quick to reply when we had a query during our stay. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks Ben.

Kellys Place Saltburn by the sea (Sleeps 4)
Fabulous apartment in the beautiful Zetland building. The views from every room are wonderful. Lovely welcome basket, thank you. First time visiting Saltburn for an event at the theatre and what a delightful place.

Cosy seaside flat, sleeps 5+ in fantastic location
Fantastic location for a weekend with a 16month old. Spacious bedroom, good quality cot, comfortable living room, well equipped kitchen. Short walk through a nice park with a kids playground and small boating lake, to get to the large sandy beach and the start of a coastal walk. We had no car and manged this trip from London, getting a nice coastal bus to and from Sunderland to the place and a bus back from our coastal walk.

Hot Tub, Free Parking, Prime Location, <1m to City
Such a perfect property for a getaway in Newcastle. We thank Kristopher so much for the stay! The house was gorgeous and spotless, nice and modern with a private garden and hottub. It's on a lovely street and we walked straight into the city centre from here. Check in instructions were clear. We'd absolutely stay here again instead of a hotel next time we visit ❤️

Fabulous apartment with beautiful sea views. Fantastic communication with our very welcoming host. We arrived to lots of special touches which helped us to feel at home from the start! Very comfortable accommodation. Private parking was a bonus. Would definitely book again!

Large gorgeous flat just off main street
We enjoyed our stay at Cat’s place very much. We were a party of 4 adults who wanted a quiet spot to retreat to after a days sightseeing. It fitted the bill perfectly. It is located on a beautiful leafy road just a short walk away from the High Street which has a good range of shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs. It’s easy to get into Newcastle Center on the bus, or to visit the coast on the Metro. The flat has a very comfortable home from home feel. It was spotless when we arrived and had everything we needed . We would definitely book in again if we were visiting the area.

Lovely 3 bed apartment with great marina views
Fabulous well equipped apartment, clean and comfortable too. Loved the location over looking the marina with so much within a 10 min walk from supermarkets, clothing stores, and a great choice of restaurants yet very quiet indeed. Very responsive and helpful host.
