Stayed for one night arriving late and tired. Staff very helpful and polite. Breakfast a good standard and room clean and comfortable. Ideal for a short stay and much better than one of the chain hotels.

We were attending a surprise 60th birthday party in Seaham, and didn't have many options for accommodation near the venue. However, we spotted the Seaton Lane Inn on Trip Adviser, and certainly weren't let down. The rooms were well appointed, the facilities excellent and the beer was well kept. The manager Steve looked after us with a 'night cap' on... More

Adrien can often be found talking to guests and patrons whether they ar eregulars or on their first visit to the town. He is an amiable character with a big heart and knows how to ensure his patrons have a good night. The "Roadside" has the sort of tactile glamour one has come to expect of "Footballers' Wives" villages such... More

This place is always a pleasure, we've eaten here many times over the years but mainly Sunday lunches. However we treat our girls to an unplanned treat last night, we had a set 2 course meal, which had great choice & something for each 1 of us @ £12 a head was well worth it, the food is delivered posh...

Stayed here just for one night. Excellent room for the money - overlooked field although noise from nearby dual carriageway could be heard with window open. Food in restaurant was excellent with good choice of menu and swift service. Breakfast - selection of cereals/fruit/ croissants to help yourself with cooked options to order. Decor throughout modern and tasteful. Would definitely... More

Not normally an Internet reviewer, nor do I particularly take any notice of on-line reviews unless they come from a credible unbiased source, but since I now have an account on tripadvisor why the hell not.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
\Imagine you find your ideal country pub, enjoy a fine meal and a few drinks – why move on? Well, now you don’t have to because the Seaton Lane Inn will provide you with somewhere luxurious to lay your sleepy head – at a price you can afford. The roadside inn has been extended with an 18-bedroom hotel which is attached to the main building and overlooks a paved, outdoor area. It is well sheltered from the prevailing winds and surrounded by colourful plants – including a herb garden. At night, the paved area twinkles with sunken lights and you won’t feel cold – the powerful heat lamps do their job. The hotel’s boutique-style bedrooms have been tastefully furnished by a top quality interior design team, decorated in different styles to a high standard and equipped with plasma TV, WiFi and king-size and super king-size beds. En suite shower rooms are of a high standard and hair dryers and tea and coffee making facilities are provided. There is also luxury, ground floor accommodation for disabled guests. Door entry is by card key and guests can take their choice of visiting other North East attractions – or spend a relaxing evening enjoying the culinary delights and friendly atmosphere of the Seaton Lane Inn’s restaurant, lounge and bar. Comfort, pleasant surroundings and a choice of locally sourced food and drinks to tempt the most discerning of palates – what more could you desire? For a start, you may be looking for an ideal base to savour the best of all the North East of England has to offer. That place is the newly extended and tastefully renovated Seaton Lane Inn boutique hotel. Situated by a country road through a village, it is only a few hundred yards from the A19 – making is less than 30 minutes to Newcastle upon Tyne and equally convenient for Durham City. Sunderland is just minutes away. The Seaton Lane Inn has come a long way from its early incarnation as a blacksmith’s forge; it now incorporates a stylish lounge/dining area, traditional bar and a new two-story hotel attached to the original building. The pub/hotel is run by owners who head a talented team. Their purpose is to make your stay at the Seaton Lane Inn a memorable one – for all the right reasons. These include the friendliness of the staff, the affable type of clientele you meet in a country inn, a tempting and varied menu (try the seafood) and wide range of beers, including excellent cask conditioned ales served from the hand pump, wines and spirits. You can relax in the comfort of the lounge, which has Sky TV, or join the regulars in the adjacent bar. The new hotel has 18 en suite double rooms which are tastefully furnished and have all modern conveniences including TV and radio, wireless internet access, toiletries and tea and coffee making facilities. ... more   less
