Celebrated as one of the most romantic hotels in the UK, Seaham Hall, a restored white Georgian manor house set high on the cliffs above the Durham Coast, is a popular haven for couples throughout the year, and when it comes to Valentine’s Day great escapes, it’s a hotel designed to make you swoon.

Nestled in 37 acres of lush landscaped gardens, the hotel provides an intimate and secluded retreat for couples seeking privacy and tranquillity, while the scenic backdrop of the North East coastline adds a touch of dramatic beauty to the surroundings, creating a romantic atmosphere that is simply unmatched.

Step inside a world of charm: the hotel’s interiors seamlessly blend original features with contemporary touches; fine wine flows; there’s a feast of heart-warming cuisine, a delicious spa, and the stylish guestrooms are made for luxury R&R…

Each and every suite at Seaham Hall is designed to offer discerning guests maximum comfort and while all rooms exude sophistication, and offer suitably memorable Valentine’s Day escapes, for a real heart-stopper, treat yourselves to a night or two in the Ada Lovelace Suite. A split-level suite decked out with glamorous soft furnishings and opulent decor, this is an abode made for romance. The Ada Lovelace Suite features a super king size bed, gorgeous bathroom and two slipper baths in the bedroom where you can soak, side by side, with a bottle of bubbly.

Breakfast in bed doesn’t get much better than the divine spread you can experience, delivered directly to your suite. Or, why not take advantage of the hotel’s impeccable room service and choose from a menu of delicious options, you don’t need to leave your room to enjoy.

It’s safe to assume that the hotel’s former resident, Lord Byron —the most flamboyant and notorious of the major English Romantic poets — would approve of The Dining Room, the hotel’s glitteringly good restaurant. Here, you can indulge in a feast of the finest British cuisine lovingly crafted with the finest local produce while soaking in the stunning setting.

Twinkling gold chandeliers and candlelight set the mood for drama and for true foodies, the tasting menus offer gastronomic highs — with delectable wines perfectly paired with each dish.

Executive Chef Damian Broom makes magic with sustainable menus to fall in love with: each and every ingredient is grown and ethically sourced from hand-picked suppliers, from honey farms to local fishing boats supplying seafood.
