Passed down through generations, before slipping into disrepair. The present owner (who is descended from one of the previous residents Sir Francis Bigod) purchased the estate in 2002 and employed a team of specialist masons and craftsmen who have been lovingly rebuilding and restoring this incredible place of local heritage.

Had a lovely stay. Beautiful views, full of character in the decor. Could have been cleaned better.

The location and surrounding area were excellent. Seaton Court could also be a top venue but when we stayed it was let down by cleanliness - eg an oven tray thick with fat and bits of bacon ; unwashed glasses put back in cupboards ; very dusty in places. Also, attention to detail was lacking - the accommodation was for six people but the cafetiere was for one mug and the toaster was for just 2 slices.

Seaton Hall, a well appointed place to stay, and just a short walk to Staithes and that beautiful coastline. Daisy our Cockapoo had a great holiday too !
