About this property

Seaham 1 mile. Sitting in Dalton-le-Dale near Seaham, County Durham is this inviting annex, Glebe House. Accommodating a family of six, Glebe House rests near Durham Heritage Coast, whilst also being within easy reach of the bustling towns and cities nearby. Upon arrival, leave your vehicle in one of the off-road parking spaces and enter this welcoming dwelling. The sitting room is home to a spacious corner sofa for you to lounge on as you watch your favourite show on the Smart TV; switch on the gas fire to warm the space during those cooler months. Continue to the kitchen/diner, a fantastic spot for those who love to cook, with a fridge/freezer, dishwasher and electric cooker, along with a spacious food preparation surface at their disposal. Once a mouthwatering dinner has been rustled up, gather the group around the nearby dining table and tuck into the meal, whilst the flickering flames of the woodburning stove warm your toes. Make your way upstairs to find three marvellously appointed bedrooms, with one being a master double with access to its own private balcony, en-suite shower facilities and a TV; the space also connects to luxurious dressing room, so you can get ready for the day ahead in style! Two more lovely double bedrooms can be found nearby, also enjoying their own en-suite shower rooms. The property backs onto a private patio, where you can marvel at your peaceful surroundings with a mug of coffee in hand, continue down the steps to the shared lawn where you and the kids can enjoy some outdoor games in the sun. The property isn't far from the fantastic Dalton Park Outlet, where you can access a range of shops and eateries, or continue to Murton to find more traditional pubs, along with a Watergate Fishing Lake that is ideal for keen anglers. Seaham is just moments away, once a mining town, Seaham is now a bustling, seaside community where you can hunt for the famous seaglass or you can enjoy fun in the sun and sand on the town's numerous beaches, before playing a round of golf at the local club, touring the Harbour, Marina and Pier, or embarking on a walk along the Heritage Coastline.

    Very well equipped. Hot tub area and facilities wonderful. Hosts very approachable and made us feel extraordinary welcome. Would highly recommend this cottage.

  • David

    We loved the space of the house and chilling in the hot tub. Plenty of activities to do in the area, which we loved exploring. Richard and Denise are super hosts and always around if you needed anything. Would highly recommend and hope to be back again in the near future. Thanks again for a great stay.

  • Stephen

    Very well situated for all amenities, shopping centre very close should you need anything, but far enough away that didn’t cause any issues. Lots of destinations within easy reach by car as the house is just off the main road system. Would definitely recommend.
