Cottages at The Raithwaite Estate

Hotel

Fabulous service from a very friendly team of people, 10/10. Very comfortable new build accommodation and spa. Food was excellent too. Very good value pamper stay! Loved it!

Came here for afternoon tea and stayed for a weekend. Pleasant staff, well kept rooms and the restaurant is great for evening meals and breakfasts. Handy for Whitby itself for a day in town. Ample parking and disabled access. Would recommend to anyone visiting Whitby or North Yorkshire Moors.

After a very busy period at work its always great to look forward to a relaxing time at The Raithwaite. We have been visiting for a good few years now and we always keep going back. The staff continue to be incredibly helpful and try and make your stay the best it can be. Simon continues to be the standout member of the team he makes sure he does everything in his power to make you feel welcomed and very looked after. We will be back again later in the year.

I would definitely recommend this hotel. What a find! We stayed the weekend in an executive room in the Keep. We were in a ground floor room which had doors onto the veranda that looked into the grounds. Our room was spacious and spotless. Staff are very friendly and helpful and the food is of a high standard. We spent time in the pool, sauna etc which was also spotless and very relaxing. Great weekend could have stayed longer.

Not bad but expected more. We stayed in a deluxe room and were anticipating either a sofa / seating area or a balcony, we got neither. Which after the premium price we paid, did feel a little disappointing. The receptionist was so efficient she bordered on rude, definitely not a warm welcome. The rest of the staff were lovely, Simon in particular was as helpful as he could be. We had a spa treatment, the lady did not do the particular treatment we booked however the treatment was fantastic. The bill was also incorrect, we were double charged for a meal which was disappointing, exactly the same amount on it twice. A little more attention to detail would have avoided this issue. Beautiful grounds just the hotel was lacking a wow factor.

We love this hotel and stay here for special occasions. It is ideally situated within a short taxi ride to the heart of Whitby. The staff in the hotel are very friendly and helpful. We left this morning after a heavy snowfall during the night, and when we walked to the car park all of the cars had been cleared of snow by the hotel staff, (always going the extra mile). Would highly recommend!

Staff exceptional, tentative and friendly. Great place to stay with quality tasty meals. Rooms warm and comfortable. Whole visit highly enjoyable. (Carpark away from the main hotel needs the 15 mph access road reducing to 10mph and enforcing for guest reassurance. )

Lovely hotel in fab setting. We've been here several times over a number of years. It's had a facelift, great new colours and furniture. Unfortunately the coffee machine was not working so not able to enjoy a cappuccino. Lunchtime mussels were very small and a disappointment.

Upscale, friendly spa estate hotel. Staff gave correct (excellent) service. Room was good size and comfortable with good provisions. Bathroom I disliked the fixed side shield on the bath for the shower. Breakfast good.

The estate is beautiful, as are all the buildings, but the MOST wonderful part are the staff. They are all highly professional, but also kind, caring and remember small personal things about you. If they ask you a question they want to know the answer. All I want to do is go and give everyone a big hug!

Amazing estate with lovely rooms and an attentive but not overbearing staff. The grounds lack mobile phone signal but free Wi-Fi in all areas inside and out off set this. Great food and breakfast too.

We booked afternoon tea at Raithwaite Hall for my husband's birthday and we certainly wasn't disappointed. We had a lovely afternoon tea but we couldn't eat it all so we brought some home.  The food was delicious and the room was so 'Posh'  there was even a piano. I offered to 'tickle the ivories' but my husband held me down! We were greeted by a professional person who made us feel welcome and at ease. We were shown to a table with comfy high backed chairs which made a nice change from dining chairs. The quaint fingers sandwiches looked good and tasted good. Everything was presented nicely which made it look even more tasty. The waiter was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Raithwaite Hall was easy to find although the signs on the drive way up to the hall advising of the speed were difficult to see because of the small print. We would recommend the afternoon tea and we will most certainly be returning. Anne and Graham.

Fantastic hotel with brilliant staff. Booked 3 nights with dinner on the first night. The food is absolutely beautiful. Great spa.

It's brilliant. Staff are lovely, patient, informative and caring. The room is spacious, plenty of storage. Both to room and the bathroom are also very clean. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Actually stayed in The Keep rather than the main hotel but can confirm that the gardens were lovely to walk through and staff, even down to the gardener, were very friendly. The hotel should put some trout or carp into their lake and river to keep the swarms of May flies down but I imagine it's a seasonal thing.
