1 / 8The Seaton Lane Inn
Seaham, County Durham
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A traditional inn in Seaham, close to the Durham Heritage Coast, with water bowls and treats waiting for dogs in its designated dog friendly areas.
The port of Seaham, close by, is famous for beaches scattered with multicoloured sea glass that draws collectors from around the world, and The Seaton Lane Inn sits in the quiet village of Seaham, placed for exploring the Durham Heritage Coast and close to the cities of Durham and Sunderland. Open all day, every day, it is a traditional pub with a welcoming bar, homemade fare and cosy boutique-style en-suite rooms. This dog friendly inn offers both seaside and countryside.
A limited number of rooms are pet friendly, and up to two of your four-legged friends can be added to the booking. The family rooms, with a double bed and separate bunk beds for children, are marked dog friendly. The inn also has spacious doubles and twins, but it doesn't say which of those take dogs, so check when you book. Seaton Lane's pages don't say how the inn feels about a dog staying in the bedroom solo, so ask before planning a dinner out without one.
At the inn, meals with the dog are served in the parts set aside as dog friendly, with water bowls and treats for the dog there. The kitchen keeps laid-back dining going all day, every day, with delicious homemade fare, and the inn's style is full of quirky charm.
Wildpack's Chemical Beach to Nose's Point, Seaham is 2.5 miles away, a coastal outing for you and the dog. King Edwards Bay, the dog friendly beach Wildpack lists nearest the inn, is 12 miles away.
