Reviewed Aug 28, 2026From booking the hosts communicated well with us. We stayed for three nights at the end of August. We were very impressed with the accommodation. We were in room 3 on the ground floor. It was spacious, clean and really well decorated. The bed is king-sized and super comfortable. There is plenty of storage for clothes and a small fridge. Parking was mostly on the street but it's a quiet road so no problem finding a space outside the property. There is one car space available on the drive on a first come first served basis. The property was well located within walking distance to Seaham Harbour and beach front shopping, some great bars and cafés. Several beaches are close by, you could walk but we drove and parked in the pay and display parking. We even managed to collect some sea glass. We would highly recommend a stay at no 16. If we are ever back in the area it will be our go to place to stay.
There was nothing we didn't like.

Excellent location, right by the sea and a couple of mins walk from many restaurants and bars (try Lamp room for best tapas, Dempseys or Cork & Coffee for drinks and Low Tide for breakfast) . Excellent room and excellent quality. Excellent value for money and really easy check in and out process. Lots of nice touches like water and biscuits, additional blankets, fan etc Nice to have a sofa and extra seating area. Room exceptionally comfortable and bed linen etc was exceptionally clean
A mirror on the dressing table would have been helpful although managed fine with the long mirror near the door The shower could do with an extra clean as a few bits of mildew A few extra teabags would’ve been better as there were only 3 All really minor issues as the place, cleanliness, quality and location generally excellent We will definitely come again

Part way through the event we were attending (myself and my partner had travelled from Scotland for a wedding) I was sent a text with not only our room access information, but also another lady's. I felt this was a breach of GDPR however when I rang the contact number during the event, he assured me he had been editing a previous message. It gave us a sense of unease and evidently interrupted our enjoyment of the event.

Could not get the window in room 4 to shut properly so it was very draughty (may have been user error but we spent quite a lot of time trying!) we ended up using a throw off the bed as a draught excluder! The mini fridge was a really nice addition - however it appears that some milk had been left in our fridge (room 4) and had gone rotten and although since removed had left the inside of the fridge smelling absolutely disgusting and we could not use it which was a shame. There wasn’t a soft close toilet seat - this is a particular bug bear of mine but maybe others don’t feel as strongly as I do! :) It just causes additional noise when you are trying to be quiet and not disturb other guests.
