Gisborough Hall

Gisborough Hall is a country house in Guisborough featuring Jacobean-style architecture, with a south-facing front spanning seven bays and attics set behind ornamental railings. The building was constructed in the 1850s following designs by architect William Milford Teulon and sits as a Grade II listed structure.

The site originated as Benedictine monastery lands, which became private property after the Dissolution in 1558 and passed to the Chaloner family. Admiral Thomas Chaloner commissioned the current building in the 1850s to reflect his wealth and position.

The house carries the mark of the Chaloner family, who made it their residence after acquiring the lands and shaped its character over centuries. The space reflects how 19th-century gentry adapted their homes to suit new ideas about comfort and style.

The house operates as a four-star hotel with 71 bedrooms and dining facilities for guests staying overnight. Access for day visitors exists as the venue is open for events and tours, allowing people to walk through and experience the interior and grounds.

The building was requisitioned by the British Army during World War II and later served as a nursing home before becoming an events venue. These shifts show how 19th-century estates adapted to changing needs across different eras.
