Beautiful getaway
The tower is decorated lovely, it's comfortable, homely and immaculately clean with everything we needed in the kitchen. Set away from any main road it's perfect for quiet down time surrounded by fields. It's perfectly situated for visiting lots of beaches nearby and a short drive to Durham and the famous Seaham Hall beach for collecting sea glass.

New Years Stay
We've stayed in this absolute gem of a "mini castle" (as our kids call it) and will definitely stay again. Cute, cosy, well appointed, loads of character, near some beautiful walks, no neighbours but some horses..... what more could you want! Owners brought us up a set of scales to do some new years eve party baking within 20 minutes of calling them. 5 stars all the way.

We had a lovely stay even though the weather was stormy. The folly is beautiful and had everything we needed. The host has put heating on for our arrival and also helped us to find it in the dark which was much appreciated. The views from the property are amazing. Seaview and horses outside. We felt really comfortable and cozy and we'll definitely be back.

We absolutely loved our stay here, the house/folly was really lovely,clean and well equipped. I had read on another review the bedrooms had no curtains so we took some bin bags and popped them at the windows, would recommended doing this if you like to sleep in darkness! We would definitely be back and book again as our kids loved it and the horses! Thanks fkr a lovely stay 😀

Beautiful location, well appointed quirky property
The location was beautiful and the property comfortable and a good size. It was a shame that they were stingy with loo roll ( only 1 roll for a 3 night stay). Comments relating to the shower have been made over several years and it is not clear why the simple repair needed has not been carried out. The code for the gate was incorrect in the visitor info and we had to call them at 11pm. A dish drainer would have been useful.

Had a lovely stay here. Easy to get to. Great location for getting around. Just a few niggles. The mechanism for the shower head to work was broken. We managed though. No window coverings in the bedroom. No microwave which is handy when away. And the toilet roll ran out day before we left. Glad we brought our own. All in all a great stay just being picky.

Short half-term stay
We had a lovely few days at the folly, the children called it their castle! It had everything we needed, good sized kitchen for cooking breakfast, ample seating in the sitting room, where you can watch the horses or the ships passing by. There is a bath with a shower head attachment to the taps, just remember to flick the immersion on for your hot water, in the cupboard on the landing. There are plenty of heaters to keep you warm, we didn’t need to use any upstairs! There is WiFi just in case you need it, and the TV has plenty of hdmi ports should you wish to take your own firestick with you. There is a public bridle way which runs down the side of the property. If you are feeling like a decent walk/run you can do a circular route which takes you back towards Hawthorne, turning onto a footpath at the gates through Haythorne’s plantation onto the old quarry. Once over the bridge for the railway line you carry on the path to Nose’s point, from their I cut back up the main road (A182) to Heseldon East House, a small farm with the public foot path taking you through the yard and behind the buildings. If you keep to the right and go through the metal gate up the hill, you will see a path to the left which take you past a building at the top of the hill, follow this until you are back at the folly. The run was around 5.5km. Make sure to take in the facts at Nose’s point which explains where blast beach gets its name. All in all we had a lovely stay.

A fabulous stay
Such a fabulous stay in a wonderful location! Lovely and peaceful with gorgeous views of the sea. The property was beautifully clean and had everything we needed. People had mentioned the lack of curtains/blinds in the bedrooms so we took children’s black out blinds to use in the room where our baby was sleeping and it worked perfectly. Great location to travel to lots of places of interest in the area and plenty of shops nearby for any essentials. Our 3-year old loved staying in his own ‘castle’ and seeing all of the horses in the fields. This will be our first choice for any future visits to the area.

Queen of the Castle
We visited over my birthday for a long weekend. What a treat to be queen of a 'castle' for a short while! Points for future visitors: Cute and cosy, ideal for evenings in sitting watching tv as a family, and also for going out exploring nature on a warm day. Not cold at all, in fact we had to turn the heaters down! Wildlife central - Plenty of horses to watch, baby bunnies slipping in and out of the hedges and at night owls hunting in the fields. Total privacy - the owners leave you to it, but you might spot the odd cyclist/dog walker passing by every now and again. Just make sure you're not getting changed in window view as there are no curtains. This didn't bother us at all sleeping-wise as we have light curtains at home. Decor is lovely, with nice clean carpets and bedding that smelt really fresh and lovely to climb into. Bedrooms were light and airy. A few points that would improve the stay: Kettle could do with replacing. Husband refused to use it after peering inside and at the spout/rim of lid! But nothing a pan of water on the hob didn't fix for a cup of tea. A full-length mirror. Really struggled with this one. As the teenager was using the mirror in the bathroom, the one downstairs wasn't ideal for applying make-up in/checking an outfit/plugging in hair tools, when you're 5ft 1. LOL Plenty of room in the main bedroom for a full-length mirror either on the side of the wardrobe or wall which would make a great difference to people getting ready for the day. A few items in the kitchen were a bit 'sticky' - drawer front had food on it, oven handle was sticky but you could tell this was probably a one-off as the rest of the place was immaculate. No welcome basket/had to find info booklet. This doesn't affect the rating in any way - as you shouldn't 'expect' a welcome basket, but when it's mentioned in all previous reviews it does feel maybe not as much effort was put in this time round, which was a shame when we were there for a special occasion. All in all, we would love to stay again, it's a lovely quirky little stay in a gorgeous setting but I'd have to bring a large mirror with me haha.

Wunderbarer und ausserordentlicher Ort!
Wir haben im Juli 2022 3 Wochen im Castle verbracht und haben es sehr genossen! Für uns hat alles perfekt gepasst! Der Bau, die Ausstattung und die einmalige Lage mit der wunderbaren Aussicht machen diese FeWo einzigartig. Wir haben viele Ausflüge in der näheren und weiteren Umgebung gemacht. Sind zum Meer herunter gelaufen, haben die Ruhe genossen. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und unkompliziert. Es ist definitiv ein Ort um wieder einmal hinzugehen.

Lovely property and location
We had a lovely few days at the tower. We loved being able to do a couple of walks right from the front door, through the nature reserve and on to the coastal path. The tower is surrounded by fields of horses which were lovely to see out your window each morning. The local pub, The Staplyton Arms did great food and were very friendly. The tower was very comfortable, comfy bed and comfy sofa. The TV isn’t a smart tv but that’s fine as we brought our Roku adapter so we could watch a film in the evening! When booking we were 100% swayed by the pics of the tower and didn’t read the detail, just looked at all pics. Hence us not noticing that there was no pic of the bathroom. That’s because it is very small but that’s ok. The thing we struggled with was the washing facilities. It’s a tiny bath with just a handheld shower attachment. We don’t do baths and so struggled. On reading other reviews since staying there, similar things have been said about that too and the owners reply was that the shower head was just there for rinsing the bath out. In that case it is impossible to wash your hair even. It was far from ideal but was our fault for not reading properly. We also read in the other reviews that the guests received a lovely welcome hamper of wine/crisps etc, well there was nothing there for us :( In summary, quirky property in a lovely position with just what we wanted locally.

This was our most recent of many stays at Kinley Tower. As usual everything was spotless. The tower is located in a lovely area really close to the beaches where sea glass can be found and there are lots of places to visit in the area. This time we visited the site of Easington Colliery and nature reserve, just down the road, which was very interesting.

PERFECT LITTLE TOWER!
Awesome little place. Easy to find, very quiet and relaxing. Lovely and clean. Towels provided. Wi-Fi fantastic. Very warm and cosy. Blankets on the couches and little hamper of goodies on arrival. Only a couple of little gripes. It was extremely windy and the vent in the kitchen flapped constantly. We would’ve loved a proper shower! Three females, 2 being teenagers staying, we struggled with just the bath and the shower head. The master bed was uncomfortable and could really do with a new mattress. We would definitely come back again!!!

Lovely castle by the sea
All in all pretty great, had a lovely time staying there. The property was clean and the view of the ocean was great and looking out at all the horses was nice too, really made you feel you'd stepped into the past a little bit. It's also in a great location to explore all the north east coast of England, Newcastle city and walk along Hadrian's Wall. The owners were also really nice and friendly when I contacted them with questions about checking out and left us a nice little welcome bottle of wine and some bread and crisps. If I had to come up with some negatives, and clearly none of these ruined my stay based on my rating above, these are my main ones: -no curtains in the bedrooms. But we enjoyed the sun in the mornings, just felt a little exposed when changing. -no microwave or dryer. Just had to be careful what food we bought and not cook anything with the intent of eating leftovers. And there is a washing line so no dryer isn't a big deal, only 6 pegs though which was odd. -the road to get to the property is a farm track. So in a word potholes. Just drive really slowly and it's fine, I didn't see them when we first arrived and had to replace a tyre. Would definitely stay again, very nice place for a little getaway.

Really lovely stay in our own little castle
The tower is a really lovely place to stay. It is your own little bit of paradise completely out of the way and a unique vacation rental. Some key notes - It is located near some business units and so you need to drive down a private road some way. Post code gets you to the start of that private road - There are horses in the fields all around. My children loved seeing them - Sea views are amazing - It was very clean throughout and welcome basket really thoughtful - Internet access was incredible considering it’s rural location - Very peaceful. The business properties are a little way down the private road, otherwise, it’s completely your own space. The only thing worth pointing out, which I didn’t realise was that the bedrooms, probably due to shape of windows do not have curtains. That didn’t bother us but worth noting if staying in summer. I visit the area a couple of times a year to see family and I’ll definitely be checking to see if this available for my next visit
