Very comfortable stay. Don't let the housing estate put you off.
Pros:

Breakfast was lovely. Freshly cooked. Staff friendly and helpful. The hotel is located at the back end of an estate. This estate does look unsightly on the way in. Our room was lovely and clean. View ok for the sea.

Cons:

The car park is stones. This is very noisy when vehicles use it. Especially late at night and early in the morning.

A perfect one night stay.
Pros:

The property is sat on its own grounds with ample parking. The whole building was spotless and looked like it had had a recent full renovation. Room was spacious and the bed was really comfortable. I was handed a free room upgrade by the owners. All in all, a great stay.

Cons:

Avoid..would never book again so awful
Pros:

Room was nice and spacey altho the hotel booked us into the wrong room apparently, which was clearly a mistake on there side

Cons:

Edited due to an unwanted text message from the owner!!
On arrival my booking had been crossed out as if I had cancelled. The lady on reception was lovely but I did give her my full name Atleast twice. Within 10 minutes of being given our room I had had 2/3 knocks on the door. My booking was in question, how did I book? Who with? I had to show my confirmation email, my personal bank account and then because I was now feeling stressed I went to reception and showed my receipt online. Booking.com was blamed for the mix up and I was told they get no end of trouble with the bookings. I went back to our room and started to call booking.com to then get another knock on the door, this was the owner telling me I had been booked into the wrong room. Already feeling really stressed as I had treated my partner to a night away we then got another knock on the door the owner again showing me that two Tanya’s and a Tara had booked.I explained to him that I had given my full name Atleast twice at reception, it’s sorted he said still with no apologies. We where then offered a £7 bottle of Prosecco or a cheap take away. In all honestly I just needed to get out for some air at the time as I was very upset after travelling 150 miles. We where offered breakfast in our room which is pretty standard with no actual apologies face to face. I took the offer of the Prosecco to give to a McMillan fundraiser as we don’t drink. Safe to say after a lovely day at Seaham beach the day was now ruined. On Sunday I opened a dispute with booking.com and have received a vile message from the owner claiming he cannot find the keys to the room which if he checks the cctv before 10am he will see us pressing the buzzer and handing them to a guy with tattoos that was talking to people in the function room, the owning has also said I’m getting nothing from them and claims to have bent over backwards which is also not true. Not even an apology from himself, he has even called us disgusting. NEVER AGAIN

Very clean and modern, great shower! polite staff although accent strong 😁😁
Pros:

Location was good, parking on site

Cons:

No bar or evening food…. We did know this but it would be nice not to have to travel to eat and drink, which given the remote nature of the building is not a 5 minute stroll
