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. 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.

Featuring free WiFi, a children's playground and a terrace, Thomas Wright House offers accommodation in Byers Green. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant. Free private parking is available on site.

Certain units have a seating area where you can relax. A flat-screen TV is provided. The staff was remarkably kind, breakfast was generous and delicious! Plus, the town was very calm and the surrounding hills are gorgeous. I can only recommend this place.

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
