Visited the hall in June last year. Enjoyed the visit although the main building is still work in progress. The side buildings were very nicely furnished. Location is excellent with views over the North Sea. Grounds beautiful. Lovely staircase. Worth the visit. More

Walked from Seaton Sluice only to find major renovations going on and consequently what was on offer was not worth the entrance fee. Also the temporary entrance, which we walked past, was not advertised. Gardens were nice. The adjacent church was interesting. More

The great hall was destroyed by fire and is now occupied by... More

This is a beautiful estate with a fascinating history. The hall itself is a shell, but so dramatic and imposing. The other buildings, church and gardens are all equally impressive and a credit to the dedicated fundraisers, staff and volunteers. Try and catch the occasional guided walk around the estate to learn about the rich industrial history of the estate... More
