Three North East hotels have been named among the top 100 places to stay in the North East in 2023.
Seaham Hall Hotel in County Durham took the title of North of England hotel of the year in the Times' annual list. Beadnell Towers and the Whittling House on the Northumberland coast, in Beadnell and Alnmouth respectively, were also named on the list.
It has been a hugely successful year for the winners, Seaham Hall Hotel, which also took the crown for best small hotel in England at the VisitEngland awards, after scooping the same prize at the North East Tourism Awards in March. It has a further three nominations for the upcoming 2023 contest, while its Serenity Spa was named the best in Western Europe at the World Spa & Wellness Awards.
