No smoking.. This unique property has been lovingly restored from part of the ancient ruins of Seaton Hall and welcomes guests for stays starting in autumn 2024. Seaton Hall has a rich history, named after the de Seton dynasty who resided here from 1130 to 1307 and formed alliances through marriages with the Scottish Royal family. Passed down through generations, the hall eventually fell into disrepair, until the current owner acquired the estate in 2002 and began its restoration with the help of skilled masons and craftsmen.
The cottage itself is beautifully furnished, combining modern comfort with touches of antique charm. On the ground floor, the open-plan living area features a modern kitchen, a dining table, and a cozy seating area with three sofas around a smart TV. A feature fireplace with exposed patterned brickwork adds character to the space. Also on this floor is a double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom that includes both a bath and a shower.
Upstairs, there are three more bedrooms: two family rooms, each with a double bed and a single bed, one of which has an en-suite shower room, and an additional single bedroom. With its blend of history, comfort, and scenic surroundings, Seaton Orangery promises an unforgettable stay.
Seaton Orangery is one of several cottages on the estate, arranged around a central courtyard where guests can sit out during warmer months. There is also an on-site café and an antique shop, adding to the charm of this historic setting. The surrounding area is perfect for those looking to explore the Yorkshire coastline, with walking trails such as the Cleveland Way leading across dramatic cliff tops.
Nearby, the picturesque coastal villages of Runswick Bay, Robin Hood’s Bay, and Staithes are waiting to be explored. Whitby, with its iconic Abbey ruins and historic seafaring charm, is a short drive away, offering cobbled streets, boat trips, and more. Saltburn, known for its Victorian pier and excellent surfing conditions, is also nearby, making Seaton Orangery an ideal base for adventure.

The place was fantastic, in a good location. Mr William Kidd who runs the accommodation is attentive to the needs of the holidaymakers and efficiently deals with any problems if any arise which is unlikely my only gripe would seem petty but the orangery sleeps nine and the toaster is only a two slicer. Yes I would give the Orangery 10 out of 10 and Mr Kidd 11 I would not hesitate to recommend this accommodation to friends and family and will definately be back. Thank you William it has been a real pleasure

Nice place and area but, short of several items in The Orangery at Seaton Hall. There is no microwave, frying pans, pan lids, egg cups, hair dryer, ironing board, S & P pots. These are items most people use regular. Slept well and enjoyed the time there in Staithes.
