Overall Ratings & Reviews The Village Inn, Murton Seaham

Fourth visit. Welcoming staff, spotless bed linen and towels, comfortable bed. However, the en-suite in room 1 appeared grubby. Not actually unclean, but stained and chipped shower tray and sink plug holes didn’t give the positive impression of previous visits. Disappointing.

Staff were friendly. They had a singer on and played bingo on Friday night which was really good.

Nice pub, lovely room and great staff

Brother very clean and pleasant inns funeral

CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE

Booked and paid for room. When I arrived no one was there. Couldn’t contact anyone. Could not get access to building to check in. I slept in my car. Utter disgrace. Avoid this place.

Friendly, helpful staff. Good value.

Room was modern, clean and comfortable. Ensuit was spacious. Unfortunately we found the shower to be very hot and didn’t know how to turn it down (it was turned all the way to the coldest option). But to be fair, we didn’t ask for any help with it, so it could have been a simple fix. We hadn’t really thought through staying above a pub. Obviously you can hear everyone drinking & enjoying themselves until they leave around 12am. Anyway, room was great for the price and apart from the things mentioned above, was a great stay.

Good value for money. Friendly hosts. Clean bedding and towels.

Very friendly and informative host. Perfect location for North East attractions. Very clean bedding and room.

The weather was awful rain and cold but what a warm welcome we recieved staff and locals very helpful and informative they dont do food but recommended Georges fish bar and wow we wasnt disappointed cant wait to make a return visit

Our stay was very good nice room comfy beds tea coffee etc for us good shower. Having a drink down stairs in pub was very enjoyable Come and go as you please Will be back again to stay.

The staff seemed lovely, though I wasn’t given proper instructions regarding how to check out and had to ask at the pub. The room was small and basic, bathroom wasn’t the cleanest, but the main issue was how incredibly loud the noise from downstairs was. My window overlooked the ‘pub garden’. I couldn’t have my window open as everyone was out smoking, screaming at eachother and at one point attempting to start a fight. It didn’t quieten down till gone midnight and I stayed on a Thursday so I wasn’t expecting it to be so noisy. Staff perfectly nice but I wouldn’t stay here again

Very comfy beds. Clean, light room and friendly staff. Tea and coffee available in the room . The karioke downstairs stopped at 11pm which was fine and we slept well. We could have done with some towel hooks or a rail and a few instructions like how to turn on the radiator and what to do with the key when we left ( we worked those things out in the end !)

My short stay was great just what I needed. The staff were great and very helpful. My bed was so comfortable and warm. The room was immaculate. My whole stay was faultless. Would recommend. Easy drive to local places x

No one at reception, rung hotels.com to find out they could not find my reservation, they did give me a number to call for hotel, room dirty, rubbish behind bed side cabinets and in great need of an update, no breakfast and pub underneath does not serve food, if looking to stay with children be aware that you could hear the noise from the pub in room

I was under no illusion with no high expectations- this was travelling on a budget. Parking was roadside, but plenty close by. It was very busy in the bar with it being New Year's Eve and so I had a bit of a wait in the OYO ‘reception’ area. The staff member who gave me the key was a bit flustered but likely due to being so busy in the pub. The ‘welcome’ was not particularly welcoming and limited information was shared. The room was a small double, thankfully just me staying as there would not be sufficient space for 2. It was clean but very hot - turning down the thermostat and opening windows had no effect. Bizarrely there was bird poo on the blind inside! There was plenty of tea/coffee/milk available. Shower gel was provided. The bed was very comfortable and plenty of pillows were available, along with a couple of cushions. I clearly hadn’t done my research as there was no food available in the pub and nothing immediately available nearby. I did have snacks and a porridge pot with me for the morning so not a huge issue. The customers in the pub were pretty rowdy, probably the NYE effect, but as if opened my windows, it did prevent sleep. Would I stay again? It served a purpose, other than bird poo blind it was clean and it was comfortable, so for a budget trip yes I would. If you want more luxury & onsite food then you need to stay elsewhere

Great place

The village inn was a clean property but it was a bit of a bind not having facilities for breakfast although Morrisons and McDonald’s were only a few miles away

Really enjoyed my stay, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. The room was very nice, bed was very comfortable. Will definitely be coming back!
