Seaton Court has a fascinating past, the hall was named after the de Seton dynasty who resided from 1130 to 1307 and whose family made allegiances with and marriages to the Scottish Royal family. 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. Located in private grounds on the edge of Staithes on the breathtakingly beautiful North Yorkshire Coast, surrounded by the heather clad North Yorkshire Moors.
Stepping inside Seaton Court you enter into the hallway, where your walking boots and coats can be stored in the utility room. Through into the open plan living room with a dining area and a bespoke hand crafted kitchen looking out onto your own patio with the rolling countryside beyond. Cast your eyes up into the incredible supporting beams and the ancient hand carved masonry above the feature fire place. Each cottage here has wonderful unique features and charm, showcasing its heritage. Upstairs you have two bedrooms, a double and a twin which can be made up as a double on request, plus an additional double bedroom down stairs. This is an ideal choice for families as well as groups of friends looking to create memories to treasure together.

I had no information about key code or anything, turns out company who look after bookings didnt do there job right, the house needs some TLC cobwebs all over the place no lighting outside to have a quite drink outside, dining chairs kept falling apart the backs of them. Toilet upstairs wouldnt flush properly. The locations is good and the cafe serves nice food and we bought a few things from the antique shop, took a bus to whitby cost £2 each way and had a nice day there.
Our stay was absolutely amazing, I can’t say it enough .what a beautiful building everything we could ever want. Will definitely be back xxx

Seaton Court is located in a stunning area with beautiful views, especially when sat out the back (weather permitting good visibility of course). It's part of a larger arrangement of holiday accommodation which I believe were part of one large historic building. Therefore, it's interior is full of character with tapestries, paintings, dark wood.There's a lovely easy to use fire for chillier evenings & makes the living room very cosy.The TV has many channels but signal can be flakey so not all come through.The downstairs ensuite bathroom is good - spacious & the shower is hot & powerful.The upstairs shower lacks power but it's still another ensuite bathroom, albeit small. Plus, there's a third bathroom (bath only).There are 2 bedrooms upstairs & due to the nature of the building, the top floor is effectively in the roof. This does tend to give a darker, more cramped feel especially as there are only small sky-lights for light/ventilation.Great to have laundry equipment in the utility room.There is an on-site cafe which has had to reduce it's opening hours but I believe is currently open till 3pm.The owner lives on-site & I believe would be very happy to help if any resolvable problem occurred.It's in walking distance to Staithes (taking note of the steep walk down/up to the village); plus walking distance to a fantastic country pub, The Fox & Hounds in Dalehouse. I would thoroughly recommend this pub if you love a traditional country pub with great pub meals. Best ring in advance as they have limited capacity.
