Visited with my husband whilst up North. Living in Essex we have not found a spa down South that comes anywhere close to Seaham Hall. I would also like to add that I think Rockliffe Hall could learn a lot from Seaham Hall spa too. The spa is beautifully appointed, clean and spacious. The girl who met us at reception had a beaming smile on her face and kept us informed from arrival to starting our spa experience. We arrived a tad early and this did not seem a problem whereas at other spas they make you wait until the exact time! Attention to detail is superb from snacks and water in the Zen room to getting lemon sorbet after a treatment. We have stayed in The Four Seasons in Bali and both commented how much Seaham Hall spa reminded us of this from the decor and ambience to the extremely high customer care and consideration. Well done seaham Hall.

This is a wonderful example of what can be done with local enthusiasm and dedication of the proud people of Seaham. The full story of the George Elmy lifeboat is shown on information boards, next to the fully restored lifeboat - well worth a visit. Yesterday it was outside and looking very grand in the sunlight.

My friend and I had a wonderful morning learning how to drill seaglass with Gavin at Seaham Waves. We not only learned a new skill but came home with a beautiful pendant we had made. I would highly recommend this shop, Gavin is friendly and a very good teacher. Thank you for a lovely morning creating jewellery from beautiful seaglass.
