Warum Gäste es lieben
- The Serenity Spa is a destination in itself with a 20m pool and outdoor hot tubs
- Geko (formerly Ozone) lets you dine on high-end Asian fusion without dressing up
- Garden Suites come with private wood-fired hot tubs for maximum seclusion
Kurzfassung: It's an expensive, indulgent bubble that feels world-class until you hit a wedding party or a maintenance snag.
Bewertet von @Stephaddisonxx: I spent the dreamiest weekend here and didn't want to leave. The spa facilities are endless, but honestly, sitting in the outdoor hot tub with a glass of bubbly was the highlight. You have to try the Asian fusion menu for dinner—it’s a total game changer.

FAQ & Geheimtipps
Alles, was Sie vor der Buchung wirklich wissen möchten.
Is the spa really worth the hype?
Yes. It's vast, with a 20m pool, salt sauna, and outdoor Zen Garden. It consistently wins awards for a reason.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, but only in specific dog-friendly Garden Suites (£60/night charge). They get a bed and treats.
What is the difference between Ozone and Geko?
Ozone is closed. Geko is the new restaurant in the spa, serving Japanese small plates (sushi, bao, kushiyaki) instead of the old Pan-Asian/Thai menu.
Is parking free?
Yes, there is ample free parking and complimentary valet service.
How far is the beach?
Seaham Beach is about a 10-15 minute walk down the coastal path. Great for sea glass hunting.
Do rooms have air conditioning?
Most suites do, but it's worth confirming for specific historic rooms if visiting during a rare heatwave.
Insider-Tipps
- ✨
Book your dinner at Geko for lunch time instead — it's less crowded and the daylight views of the Zen Garden are better.
- ✨
Ask for a 'pup pack' if bringing a dog; they include high-quality treats and a ball.
- ✨
The coastal path to the north leads to a hidden cove called 'Blast Beach' which is often empty.
5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The 'tunnel' connecting the hotel to the spa is a quirky, mood-lit experience that lets you walk there in a robe without going outside.
💡Some 'Junior Suites' are actually quite compact; upgrade to an Executive or Garden Suite if space matters.
💡The rubber ducks in the bathroom are a signature touch you can take home.
💡Mobile signal can be patchy due to the thick stone walls (but WiFi is fast).
💡You can hunt for rare sea glass on the beach below — Seaham is world-famous for it.
