The Lambton Worm 4 stars

Chester-le-Street

Breakfast is served every morning in the common breakfast area and British specialities are available on the property's restaurant for lunch and dinner. Guests can enjoy a selection of beers, wines and ciders in the bar throughout the day. My partner and I stay here for 7 nights, and I cannot fault it at all, clean room, lovely breakfast, we also ate in the restaurant the food was very tasty and not that pricey, all the staff were lovely and extremely helpful and made us feel very welcome, as did the locals, I’ve never visited a place where the people are so friendly. There is a real sense of community in this place, and it reminded me of my hometown. We both slept like babies every night, the bed was really comfortable This place is a little gem, right in the middle of the places we wanted to explore, Beamish 8 mins away, Whitley Bay 30 mins drive, Holy Island 1hr 30 mins, Newcastle 38 mins on the bus, the bus stop is directly outside the pub, catch the number 21 bus price was £5.10 return. We spent nearly every night in the pub, and you could see how well it was run, so big shout out the manager and all the staff. They were on the ball, tables cleared and wiped down straight away, they worked as a team like clockwork. We thoroughly enjoy are stay here and it was lovely to meet everyone.

The Seaton Lane Inn - The Inn Collection Group 3 stars

Seaham

Situated 5 minutes’ drive from the County Durham coastline, The Seaton Lane Inn - The Inn Collection Group features free on-site parking and is just over 10 miles from Durham city centre. Go-karting, paintballing, golf courses and angling are a few of the pursuits available just a few minutes away from The Seaton. Everything. The hotel was beautiful. The staff went above and beyond throughout our stay, from our welcome to our wonderful evening meal, the quiz (which is a must), the comfy family rooms - which were so quiet and we loved that you are seperate from the main hotel/resturant. The breakfast was also delicious. We can't wait to book and stay again.
