The location is perfect for access to all Durham has to offer, but far enough away for a relaxing stay.

No.16

Housed in a historic building, No.16 offers accommodation with water sports facilities and free WiFi in Seaham, 600 metres from Seaham Beach.

Location was just a short walk from the beach and close to lots of good restaurants and cafes. The beach is an excellent location for collecting sea glass. The room was superb, clean, warm (as we visited during Winter) with tea and coffee making facilities and an excellent rainfall shower. It is an unmanned hotel but the access instructions we received on the morning were easy to follow. I was able to communicate with the property via text when I had a question. Would thoroughly recommend this property.

I stayed at The Eagle in Gateshead for four nights and couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment I arrived, the staff went out of their way to make me feel welcome and were consistently helpful throughout my stay — nothing was ever too much trouble. The room and facilities were spotlessly clean, which made the whole experience incredibly comfortable. It’s clear the team takes real pride in maintaining high standards. Everything was well-organised, tidy, and fresh. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable place to stay with genuinely helpful and friendly staff, I’d absolutely recommend The Eagle. I’d happily stay again!
