    Nothing at all to do with the place and the people, just myself. The fact I had to google how to use the coffee machine. Hahahaha I did not want to ask but honestly no clue how to use one as I dont have one. I did make myself laugh when I made what I thought was a chochino and didnt realise there are TWO pods....

    Fantastic guest house with a huge area to call your home while you are staying. Shower is absolutely fabulous. I stayed on the 1st floor and the glass ceiling in the bathroom is devine. Beds are so so comfty and the bedding is something I wanted to take home. I stayed with my Son to do some seaglass hunting,. The owner was amazing and so welcoming to myseld and my son. We will definitely be back ASAP.

    I've stayed at Adolphus Guest House several times in the past and have found Lynn and Barry to be very attentive and friendly hosts. I always book the room with two single beds and it is spacious and comfortable. The private bathroom is just down a short hallway. I will definitely be staying here again and again, as I return to Seaham for the lovely beaches.

    only thing, which is out of owners control was that it was quite noisy of a night, but it was very hot (26c) and windows open. so traffic and voices carried a lot.

    owners are super friendly and it’s a lovely property.

    Great host, who were very helpful in every way. great location only 11 mins walk from the train station and 10 mins to local shops. The beach isn't far either. Lovely attic room with ensuite.

    a comfy room and very quirky

    There stairs were very steep to the attic and going off early every morning I felt I was disturbing the whole guest house, also hard to work as no high chair or table to put my laptop on to work from. The room isn't ideal if you suffer walking up stairs or you need a desk to work from.

    I loved the fact I had the attic room to myself and was very comfortable and quirky, there was a drinks cabinet with little boxes of pringles and lotus biscuits plus tea and coffee. Lynn the host allowed me to use the kitchen as she didn't have a guest for that room. The room is ideal for holiday makers.

    if anything just the last set of stairs up to the attic room as no carpet is very noisy and quite steep but don’t be put off as there are other rooms that you don’t use these stairs.

    lovely big family room and very private.

    We cooked breakfast and dinner in the kitchen - really great to be able to do this.... made it much easier as I'm gluten free so handy to be able to cook ourselves - particularly liked the coffee 'bags' that were left in the rooms - proper coffee which was a delight to have!! some really lovely touches at house, to make the stay more comfortable so I was super impressed with this - bedding lovely too, proper cotton bedding with lovely pillows and beds very comfortable too - we will definitely return!

    Unfortunately it really smelt of dog, cigarettes and weed (i’m not saying that was on the premises just definitely in the area). The bathroom is in a conservatory and gets very hot. I actually nearly fainted because it was so hot in there, on a hot day, when I got out the shower. I wasn’t sure if I was meant to use their towel for a shower or not because the bathroom is a communal area. So I ended up having to borrow one from my sister. The beds are actually quite hard. Every morning I was woken up by someone hammering on a door in the road. I was not keen that the bathroom is straight from the kitchen area, and you have to lock the kitchen door in order to have privacy in the bathroom. The curtains hardly kept any light out. I wouldn’t choose to stay there again. I will say that the owner is friendly. I just didn’t enjoy my stay very much.

    I liked that it was easy to find. The room was big. there was free Wi-Fi and good TV choices.
