Housed in a historic building, No.16 offers accommodation with water sports facilities and free WiFi in Seaham, 600 metres from Seaham Beach. The property has garden views and is 11 km from Stadium of Light and 18 km from Lumley Castle. The Glasshouse International Centre for Music is 28 km away and Theatre Royal is 28 km from the guest house.

At the guest house, units come with a desk, a TV, a private bathroom, bed linen and towels. Certain rooms also offer a fully equipped kitchenette with a fridge. 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.

Offering inner courtyard views, Rooms in historic Bishop Auckland is an accommodation set in Bishop Auckland, 30 km from Lumley Castle and 40 km from Beamish Museum. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are available at the guest house free of charge. The guest house features family rooms. As always, Sean is great! Super lovely, super clean, the house is well kept! Transportation options are plentiful~ this was my 3rd time staying with him, and I already booked the next~ It's home away from home with him, better than a luxury hotel in my opinion. The back yard is fantastic as well, and the people in the area are quite charming too

Set in Shotley Bridge and with MetroCentre reachable within 23 km, The Manor House Inn offers a garden, allergy-free rooms, free WiFi and a bar. The property is around 28 km from Utilita Arena, 28 km from Newcastle Train Station and 29 km from The Glasshouse International Centre for Music. The property is non-smoking and is located 24 km from Beamish Museum.

All guest rooms at the inn come with a seating area. The private bathroom is fitted with a bath, free toiletries and a hairdryer. At The Manor House Inn all rooms include a desk and a flat-screen TV. A family run business who make you feel warm and welcome from the time you book until you leave. The location is perfect as a base for exploring the local area. I feel I have to mention the very high standard of food. Its not the run of the mill bar food here. Its food fitting of a Manor house. I only wish we had stayed longer to try everything on the menu. All very reasonably priced as well. Real ale behind the bar and an open log fire. Large selection of drinks and food all day and the breakfast was spot on. Whether you are looking for a place to stay or after a meal with a proper local feel then you won't be let down if you give the Manor House a try. Well worth a visit.
