About About the place

Seaham Beach is a transformed coastal area, once industrial, now celebrated for its natural beauty and unique opportunities for sea glass collecting. The shoreline features a mix of sandy and rocky stretches, and visitors are advised to wear appropriate footwear due to potential runoff. The adjacent harbor area has undergone development, providing cafes, restaurants, and shops. A prominent landmark is the “Tommy” statue, a poignant war memorial. While generally well-regarded, experiences vary, with some noting occasional litter. Seaham offers a pleasant seaside experience, particularly appealing to those interested in coastal walks and the distinctive allure of sea glass.

We took a small road trip to the countryside with the kids and made a real fun day with various stops along the way and checking our local hot spots and a carnival which was so nice and colorful. The kids had a wonderful time here and took so many rides and the whole day just turned out to be an excellent day out for all of us.

The hotel was a nice place to stay and the best part here was the free wifi and free parking which is the hardest thing to find in this city. The hotel was well equipped and the staff was very professional. The rooms were big enough and it was a decent stay which also included breakfast.

We went to this amazing place and loved the view and the scenery. The place was really crowded as it is one of the most famous tourist attractions but you need to look out for pickpockets here because apparently a lot can happen here if you don’t pay much attention.

We were so excited to visit this place but were thoroughly disappointed while reaching and looking at the mismanaged affair. The place was crowded with tourists and there was no system to arrange them. The staff was also very rude.

We went to this place which is amazing and we booked the entire suite for the family. Everybody had a great time and we really enjoyed our stay. The service and the staff was superb and we were able to indulge in their spa as well which was awesome. Must visit place for everybody.

While making our itinerary, we included this place towards the end and thought that incase we are behind time, we will skip it. But thank God, we didn’t because it was one of the greatest places to visit. Easily accessible, conveniently located, gorgeous location and the easy navigation for the entire tour of this place made it much more fun and enjoyable. I will suggest everyone to please visit this place.

This was our 5th time visiting this camp and the scenery and the service including the facilities are just awesome. You have to look out for the best time to visit the camp because winters could be too cold and for some not a feasible option. Even though you can enjoy the winterland, you have to be fully equipped with everything.

It was a gorgeous day and we decided to have a picnic in the beautiful park surrounded by nature and beauty. The place had beautiful scenic scenes and with some homemade food, we loved the refreshing and calming experience.

Our journey to this place was nothing less than a magnificent memory. This is the most beautiful place I have visited and stayed. I have never experienced luxury like that and the hospitality was top notch. I am still so grateful for all the people who hosted us and took us on an incredible journey.

The place is so beautiful that I could not take my eyes off it. The place is a heritage building which has stunning architecture and the Victorian style walls are simply amazing. We visited the place on a weekday and it had a lot of people. But things were arranged in a proper way and we could have the tour nicely.

It is a great place to stay and gives you much luxury and comfort at a great price. The service is great and the management was very prompt and was very helpful and assisted us with everything. The rooms were big and spacious, well maintained and the views from the window of the city skyline was just stunning. Loved my experience here!
