ABOUT THE PROVIDER Seaham Hall (seaham-hall. co.uk) is an immaculately restored Georgian country house on Durham’s Heritage Coast, in a clifftop position just steps from the beach and the England Coast Path.
Dating from 1791, its history is fascinating: Lord Byron was married there in 1815; it was a military hospital during the First World War; and it served as a Spey whisky smuggling den at the time of US Prohibition (the tunnel used is still visible in the wine cellar).
The five-star hotel boasts two restaurants (the Dining Room and pan-Asian Ozone), the 44,000sqft Serenity Spa (classified as “five bubble luxury”) and 21 individually designed suites, some with private outdoor hot tubs. Its glamorous Ada Lovelace Suite, honouring Byron’s daughter (the world’s first computer programmer), is a superb split-level suite with two mischievously placed slipper baths
