Chose the 40 Winks as they had interesting rooms- a real boutique hotel and so much nicer than the standard white box you get. We stayed in the Gala Room which was AMAZING! The bed was so comfy and having a bath in the lovely roll top whilst admiring the views of the Cathedral was a great start to the morning. Staff were lovely and the breakfast was delicious (and filling). Location superb too.

Beautiful decorated and clean room on ground floor was perfect for us. Excellent shower and comfy nights sleep, thank you. Breakfast was also tasty and good quality, we had the full English.

No.16

Seaham (Near Durham)

Housed in a historic building, No.16 offers accommodation with water sports facilities and free WiFi in Seaham, 600 metres from Seaham Beach.

Location was just a short walk from the beach and close to lots of good restaurants and cafes. The beach is an excellent location for collecting sea glass. The room was superb, clean, warm (as we visited during Winter) with tea and coffee making facilities and an excellent rainfall shower. It is an unmanned hotel but the access instructions we received on the morning were easy to follow. I was able to communicate with the property via text when I had a question. Would thoroughly recommend this property.
