Excellent weekend break
On arrival the staff were very welcoming , the room was faultless , we ate in the restaurant which was superb food and service , breakfast was more than adequate , the location is great, only a short walk to sands end along the beach or the other way is Whitby, again a great walk and very rewarding, we finished off the week end with afternoon tea in the bar!
We did use the spa facility s which again were very good for a hotel of that size, we would defiantly stay again, if I could fault anything it would be the lack of a Usb socket in the room
On arrival were pleasantly surprised to have been upgraded to The Jefferson Suite, it exceeded our expectations. We dined in the brasserie for breakfast and for dinner on both nights- lovely hearty food with a French twist. The spa (small but perfectly functional) was welcomed after a freezing cold walk to Whitby in February during Storm Ciara!
Fabulous Hotel, shame about the F&B
Great hotel,great location, staff fabulous, excellent spa, food and beverage a real let down, very over priced for average quality. Very poor vegetarian options, very unimaginative.Breakfast very slow service.Served cold coffee twice by same waiter.
Lovely hotel, great welcome and upgraded on arrival. Only negative was bar area was a little small and lacked atmosphere.
Another Day Fantastic Stay
This is the fourth time my husband and I have stayed at the Raithwaite Estate Hotel. We find it s location superb, so near to Sandsend yet very convenient to Whitby and the Estate offers an opportunity for a stroll through lovely gardens and grounds.
On arrival you are welcomed by the Concierge who directs you to reception and to your room, giving you all the information you need for your stay. The room has always been very clean and tidy and an impressive size with a very large bathroom (yes a bath and very large shower)
The main treat for me during our stay is the Spa and the swimming pool, time to relax and have some me time. The bar is welcoming and friendly and a comfortable space to eat or drink. The restaurant staff are so efficient and friendly and you are made to feel so special as they serve you excellent food.
Welcoming, Friendly and Luxurious - key words to describe our stay
Amazing - what a wonderful place
Everything about our stay was perfect. The staff are fantastic and go above and beyond to make your stay amazing. We loved our room which was stocked with yummy biscuits, a range of hot drinks, complementary spring water and luxury toiletries. The spa and treatments are lovely. The restaurant has a relaxing classy feel and excellent staff- as for the food it was brilliant and we were always very satisfied! Location fab for the coast, walks, cosy pubs and big views. Can t wait to return!
Birthday weekend
Visited to celebrate my partners birthday and it did not disappoint. The suite we booked was perfectly appointed with a bed to match. All food; breakfast, afternoon tea and th brasserie restaurant, were wonderful. The location just north of Whitby I d great for exploring the north east coast or the north york moors. The only slight grumble is that the spa and gym are on the small side and nothing special and the number of loungers was limited which lead to a bit of a scramble at times.
Spoil Yourself
The whole experience was excellent, welcome, service, accommodation, dining and general attention to our well-being. The arrangement of our stay by OPL was faultless.
