One of the UK’s most wonderfully accessible areas of natural beauty is, no doubt, County Durham, with the extraordinary stretch of British countryside offering everything from unrivalled star-gazing spots to fascinating historical castles. Giving plenty of variety for parents, kids and grandparents alike, with easy-access to nearby cities Newcastle and Sunderland, our County Durham hotels are a little slice of heaven.

With six dazzling family rooms on offer, Seaton Lane Inn, situated just outside of Seaham, is the perfect spot for parents looking to take their children on a range of adventures. With king-sized beds, bunk beds and even an en suite bathroom, you can relax in comfort in-between exploring the stunning heritage coastline or taking a trip to Sunderland’s Stadium of Light.

Our Lake District hotels provide the perfect base to explore everything Britain’s Northern paradise has to offer, from its beautiful mountainous landscape to its quaint towns that boast charming character. Lake Windermere is the focal point of the national park, with the area bustling with local activity, including the endearing World of Beatrix Potter, which is perfect for young tots.

Sitting a mere stones-skim from the very banks of the lake is our treasured Angel Inn, a hotel that gives you and your family the opportunity to explore the wonders of Windermere from your very doorstep. A homely British hotel, The Angel Inn provides glorious views over the nearby village, especially from the large pub garden which is perfect for families throughout the year.

If it feels wrong to deprive your pooch of a relaxing getaway, fear not, each of our hotels are dog-friendly, allowing you to bring your beloved pet along with you without fretting about who will feed them back home.

Being part of the family, pooches are allowed in special dog-friendly rooms for just an extra £15 nightly surcharge. They can even enjoy their own pub dinner, too, alongside you and the kids, with our Doggy Menus allowing you to eat all together as a family, as long as your pup remembers its table manners.
