Glebe House, Dalton-le-Dale

Second time we have stayed Glebe House, wonderful owners who make you very welcome. Accommodation is of the highest standard and was perfect for our stay. We hope to return again one day .

Excellent location and the house has the real WOW factor. Everything and more than you could ever need. The owners were on hand and very helpful, but without you noticing them around. This is a top class accommodation, and if you are having a wedding at the old pump house, the location is excellent. The hot tub is just an added bonus

This was our second visit to Glebe House, and again it was thoroughly enjoyable. The property is spacious, very comfortable and well appointed. We particularly appreciated having an ensuite in each bedroom. The weather during our visit was variable, but having access to a lovely outdoor space was also much appreciated. The property is a short drive from Seaham town and the seafront and marina, with many really lovely cafes and restaurants, and a quick hop to Dalton Park shopping centre. We recommend Glebe House and hope to return in future years.m

What a beautiful house, a perfect mix of traditional & modern. Cosy & comfortable but big! Ensuites to each bedroom definitely a bonus. And the balcony in the master bedroom is amazing. Lovely hamper left for our arrival which was an unexpected but lovely surprise. Spacious garden & large hot tub were great, son loved kicking his football around the garden & the whole family enjoyed the hot tub. Having the summer house with toilet & shower by the hot tub was great too, easy to leave towels etc inside & not having to dash up to the house to use the toilet. We had a lovely stay & wouldn't hesitate to return! The children have already asked to go back!

Everything was just pefect. We had a fantastic stay. We will definitely be back. Location was brilliant for exploring, by car or bus

We spent a full week at Glebe House with my parents to visit family and tour the area. The accommodation is as comfortable as it is spacious, set it lovely gardens with plenty of outside seating. The cottage was exactly as seen in the photos, if not actually bigger in real life! Our hosts left us some treats for our check in, and were very responsive when I called with questions I had ahead of the visit. The parking felt secure as there is a gated entry, so we didn't need to worry about safety or parking. The house was clean, comfortable, warm and well appointed with lots of lovely features and stocked with everything we needed. Great location for us for our visit, super close to Seaham and Durham, Roker and Penshaw all the great landmarks and places that are must see in the North East, especially the fantastic beaches. Huge thanks to our lovely hosts, and we highly recommend Glebe House for your Northern getaway!

Glebe House is a fabulous property, we enjoyed it from start to finish. The house itself is huge and is even better in the flesh than the advertised photograhs. Set in considerable grounds, there is ample room for enjoying the outdoors should you not want to venture further a field. The hot tub area is private with shower and toilet facilities in the large summerhouse adjacent a real bonus. Internally the house is very comfortable with all you could need, high end ensuites to all bedrooms, and the master bedroom really is master, with a large dressing area and a balcony to enjoy the views at any time of day loved it We will definitely return and I highly recommend this property whether you're a couple or a large family.

An amazing house! ! So comfortable, warm and homely. The hosts were lovely, welcoming and kind. Would absolutely book again

The house has been lovingly restored and it was a pleasure to stay somewhere quite so splendid. The house is welcoming and very comfortable, and also a little luxurious. The grounds are lovely with lots of places to sit outside. The how tub is a huge plus and one of us was in it each day of our holiday. The hosts are incredibly lovely, friendly and could not have been more helpful. Even though everything was perfect it was a comfort to know that they were close by. I cannot think of a single thing that could have been better and I would like to say a very big thank you to the hosts

We had a very enjoyable stay at this lovely property. Spacious and comfortable and very well equipped. All bedrooms have ensuite showers which were much appreciated. We loved the extensive garden although the weather wasnt ideal so we werent able to take full advantage. We love Seaham with its lovely beaches and excellent restaurants its an ideal place to visit for a holiday or short break

Absolutely beautiful house, very comfortable and all the facilities you could need, the hosts were exceptional and left a beautiful welcome basket. Great location, 10 minutes to the sea, 5 minutes to the shops and 20 minutes by taxi in Durham. Would most definitely book here again.

Glebe House was very spacious and our two boys loved running around the ground floor and making use of the many televisions. We very much appreciated the stair gates being installed for our one year old. Each bedroom comes with an ensuite and the main bed in particular was very comfy. Make sure to take some time to read the instructions as there are many switches to work some of the bedroom windows. Each room comes with a smart TV and we had no issues getting any to work. The main bedroom shower was lovely and hot but the bedrooms could have done with a quick dust as there was quite a build up evident behind the beds. Our boys really enjoyed exploring the grounds and there were lots of little woodland areas to explore and play in. Beware of the jaggy nettles though! Also keep an eye on the very back of the garden which leads to quite a steep drop at the back of the hot tub area...again not made aware by the owners as we were bringing young children. We were slightly disappointed that adjacent to the garden was a construction site which was not ideal. There was as a fence in place but we would have appreciated a heads up from the owners. Whilst the expansive garden was great for the children for the adults we found that the tables and chairs were quite dirty with some mould on the cushions. The hot tub area was nothing like the advertised photos. The area was dirty, extremely dark and the area around the tub was full of green flies which got into the tub falling from the surrounding screen when in use. Again the children enjoyed use of the hot tub but we didn't feel enticed to use it for the adults due to these issues. The hot tub control had been manually fixed in place with a screw leaving us unable to turn jets up making the tub akin to sitting in a warm bath, not exactly what was expected. The Summerhouse again was not like photos. We felt it could do with a good clean and some better maintenance. Of note the outside shower was corroded. However the inside shower itself was warm quickly with good pressure. With some more TLC this would be a very enjoyable area. All in all as we were disappointed as we booked this house from seeing the photos on Sykes holidays. The house although a period property it was dirty in some areas with gatherings of dust evident and some of the drinking glasses needed a clean before use. Please be aware of the main bedroom toilet which sits very high on the wall making it difficult to for anyone with disabilities or short in height like myself. The top cupboards and microwave were also quite high up, fortunately a stool was on hand but could be difficult with those with mobility issues. I doubt our family would return to this property but with a few upgrades, a lot of updates, and higher maintenance it would make great accommodation.

Had a fantastic stay what an amazing property! The house is really spacious, comfortable and warm and we loved the hot tub and summer house too. The owners were really friendly and helpful. Had a really lovely meal at the Fox and Tree 5 minutes walk away and spent time seaglass hunting at Seaham beach. I had a fabulous time celebrating my 50th this place made it very special thank you.

House is fantastic, lovely welcome pack and the card was a nice touch.

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

Very spacious property set in its own grounds so lovely and private and secure as it has electric gates to the driveway. Very well situated for all amenities, shopping centre very close should you need anything, but far enough away that didnt cause any issues. Lots of destinations within easy reach by car as the house is just off the main road system. Would definitely recommend.

The property was outstanding with every possible amenity including the hot tub which we used every day. The gardens were amazingly well maintained & provided great exploration for our 2 grandsons as well as football fun. The large parking area provided excellent space for our 2cars. Internally the house was beautifully spacious, incorporating a blend of vintage & modern decor with lovely additional features. The owners could not have been more helpful & were on hand to answer all our queries. We will use again & would highly recommend to any future users.

A very comfortable and well equipped house. We had a lovely family holiday. Great location for exploring the delights of County Durham. Our hosts provided a wonderful welcome pack.

The property was beautiful and spacious and very well maintained. We loved the open plan master bedroom with the dressing area and the balcony. We also loved the summer house and the hot tub. The gardens were beautiful and private. The owners were very welcoming and happy to help with anything you needed. Nearby there was excellent food, nice beaches and lots of shopping. It was 5 star. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

This is a luxurious, spacious and thoroughly relaxing property to stay in. The thoughtful attention to detail from the owners throughout was much appreciated excellent communication, a welcome hamper etc. The property is well located just a short drive from a wealth of activities, shops, coastal walks. We would certainly return it was a haven to wind down in and we enjoyed every minute.
