So, to help you find the perfect accommodation for your trip, here are a couple of fantastic places to stay in County Durham.
The Seaton Lane Inn
The Seaton Lane Inn is nestled in Seaton, County Durham, just a 5-minute drive from the quaint seaside town of Seaham. Whether you are visiting the idyllic landscapes of County Durham, heading to the nearby Seaham golf resort, or are exploring the coastline of the North East, The Seaton Lane Inn is the perfect place to lay your head.
This inn oozes charm, through its quirky, boutique-style decor. Natural elements, lots of natural light, and greenery perfectly compliment bare brick walls and the traditional elements of the building within.
Rooms at The Seaton Lane Inn
The luxurious bedrooms continue with the quirky charm, excellently finished with soft white bed sheets. Each bedroom has all the essentials you need for your trip, including a flat-screen TV with Freeview, free WiFi, a complimentary sleeping kit, safe, tea and coffee facilities, and more!
There are king-sized, double, twin, and family rooms available, plus an accessible room for your benefit. Unless otherwise stated, these rooms come with a complimentary traditional Northumbrian breakfast. If you are taking your dogs to the beach – don’t worry – The Seaton Lane Inn also has a number of dog-friendly rooms for an extra £15 per dog, per night.
Every room has its own distinct character. With such elegance and charm, you will be bound to keep coming back again and again!
The Kingslodge Inn
The Kingslodge Inn is located just a ten-minute walk from the historic city centre of Durham. Despite its proximity to the city centre, The Kingslodge Inn is surrounded by serene woodland, combining the ease of the city and the beauty of the countryside within Flass Vale. It also boasts a number of golf courses nearby, including Ramside Golf Club.
Rooms at The Kingslodge Inn
All of the comfortable bedrooms are decorated in a contemporary style, perfectly juxtaposing the historic building they are nestled within. This way, you can benefit from the beauty of natural wooden beams, original wooden features, and lashings of plaid, but with the white, crisp, soft sheets you love from a contemporary inn. The light and airy decor elevates the rooms, making them feel bright and airy.
The Kingslodge Inn boasts double, twin, single, accessible, and family rooms for you to choose from, perfect for couples and families alike. Each room comes with a complimentary Northumberland buffet breakfast (unless otherwise specified), access to the restaurant & pub, free Wi-Fi, and all the mod cons like Freeview TV and a drink-making station.
Even better, The Kingslodge Inn has dedicated dog-friendly rooms so that no member of the family gets to miss out on your holiday. For a £10 supplement charge per dog, per night, you can relax in one of the “20 best places to stay in the UK with a dog”, as reported by The Times.
With so much variety in County Durham, of course, we cannot mention everything! However, here are some of the absolute must-see attractions and activities that you need to check out when you are in County Durham.
