Old-world elegance, contemporary cuisine

Our timelessly stylish Dining Room is a love letter to our country house's heritage. Its glittering 14-carat gold-plated chandeliers, and gorgeous Georgian windows, hint at Seaham Hall's opulent past. But today, we prefer a more relaxed atmosphere to let our dishes shine.
