Seaham Hall
Seaham, Durham
Dating back to 1791, the iconic Seaham Hall, home to the award-winning Serenity Spa, is just 30 minutes’ drive from the captivating city of Durham.
Set in 37 acres of rustic and alluring countryside with views to the wild and romantic heritage coast, this 5 star hotel has a fascinating past and like many Georgian country houses has a rich history and an eccentric character that contradicts its contemporary interior.
Located adjacent to the main entrance with fabulous views to the gardens through magnificent Georgian windows, the intimate atmosphere of The Lounge Bar makes it an ideal place to sit back and enjoy the surroundings of Seaham Hall.
The Sports Lounge at Seaham Hall offers bespoke black leather lounge seating encircling a 9ft Sam K purple biaze and slate all American pool table, with custom lighting, stately oak floors and a few oddities to bring a smile.
As a guest you are invited to luxuriate at the tranquil 44,000 sq.ft. Serenity Spa, the perfect environment to relax and escape the complications of the modern world. With a 20 metre pool, outdoor hot tubs, a hydrotherapy pool and therapists trained to deliver a variety of treatments that encourage relaxation and a state of well-being, a visit should be a priority.
Seaham Hall has 20 of the most luxurious suites ranging from Junior Suites to the outstanding Penthouse Suite which offers stunning uninterrupted coastal views. Each suite has its own individual style and character, some offer private gardens with Scandinavian Style Hot Tubs and all have spectacular garden or sea views.
Seaham Hall had recently expanded, on a modest scale, to become 21 perfectly-formed suites. We are very excited about our newest creation, the Ada Lovelace suite (images of which can be seen in the gallery), which promises to be a wonderful reminder – and celebration – of the Hall’s fascinating history.
With a selection of meeting and private dining rooms accommodating 2 to 120 guests, Seaham Hall is the perfect backdrop for business meetings, private events and stunning weddings.

New for 2017 is a brand new Salt Sauna to our north east award winning spa!
Just as you may breathe a little easier after a walk on the beach by “breathing in the sea air” a Salt Sauna works in a similar way however as dry salt air is more powerful than moist air you will see the benefits more by using a salt sauna. Seaham Hall offers the best of both worlds being situated on the stunning Durham Heritage Coast.
The benefits of salt therapy are wide-ranging. Salt levels affect our cell activity, energy and blood sugar levels, a natural disinfectant and antibacterial.
Salt air is said to improve our health and mood and could possibly reduce headaches and aid better sleep patterns. Inhaling particles may reduce inflammation and mucus in the lungs, improving respiratory conditions such as asthma, allergies, and bronchitis and sinus congestion allowing relief to breathe easier.
Skin conditions such as eczema and acne can also be improved by using pure mineral salts in the sauna they have natural moisturising properties and support the skin’s water balance and barrier function by attracting moisture to the skin. Minerals are necessary for cell function and detoxification, so mineral salts have strong rejuvenating properties.
It is the ideal facility to enjoy while visiting on a spa day, it will leave you feeling refreshed, energised and glowing.
