Prijs kwaliteit.

Het bed was versleten. Een erg klein fontein op de badkamer. Geen haken om handdoeken en kleding op te hangen op de badkamer.

Lovely stay, ideal location and close to lots of local amenities. Had a lovely meal at the Dancing Betty just down the r
Pros:

Easy to get to and close to local amenities. Stayed here as was taking part in GNR. Room was very spacious lots of storage and very clean.

Cons:

Was a little bit noisy with music coming from the bar but was only an issue because I couldn’t join in!

Pros:

We have been twice to this place and love it. We go the night before the Great North Run have a fish supper at nearby Seaham then come back to the bar have a pint or two and watch the football on the tv with the greatest friendliest people it’s almost like being at the match. A home from home

A great place to experience local culture and unspoilt coastal towns and beaches
Pros:

Great local pub, with friendly, welcoming locals. Within 10mins drive to coastal attractions, miles of unspoilt beaches.
Seaham is a close by, a lovely traditional sea side town, that hasn't been spoilt by big hotels or amusement arcades. Plenty pubs shops and restaurants nearby.
My wife and I had a great long weekend here. A wonderful chance to chat to local people and learn about local life and history from some very funny story tellers in the evenings. We hope to return. I would definitely recommend a visit.
Thankyou to all at the Village Inn 🙂.
There's also a shopping centre with supermarkets 5 min away.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike.

Lovely short stay
Pros:

Stayed here on a quick stop over while on a trip back home to visit family.
The room was immaculate, a decent size, with an unbelievably comfortable bed and a really good shower.
The room is above a busy village pub, so there's the sounds of laughter and daftness occasionally drifting upstairs, but not enough to disturb sleep once you're in that big bed. I swear I've not slept so well in ages.

Cons:

No complaints at all. Its a lovely wee place.

Pros:

Friendly staff and very dog friendly. Great value for money. Clean and tidy with a good size bed (it is as big as the room) plenty of tea and coffee and storage.

Cons:

Double standard rooms are tight to have a medium dog stay but for 2 nights it was manageable. The mattress is very soft, but still comfortable.
