Raithwaite Sandsend

Our recent visit to Raithwaite Estate was our first visit to the estate as part of a spa day purchased via Travelzoo.

Beautiful hotel in equally beautiful grounds. Staff, rooms, food, spa all perfect. Highly recommended. Lovely restaurants and bars, plenty of choice.

We recently eat at The Keep and whilst its not the cheapest meal you will have it was plentiful and was of an excellent quality. All our party really enjoyed the meal and would definitely eat there again. Speisekarte ansehen

The main reception staff in the Hotel at Raithwaite have always been so welcoming. I first booked this for mothers day in 2016, my parents returned for afternoon tea which they loved with their friends, and we went back for Dad's birthday last year. I will also book to return this year too.

Greeted by a gentleman bedecked in country tweeds. I asked if he was a guest. No, he was the concierge. But he lost interest when I said we had booked Sunday lunch. In the Brace restaurant mushroom soup arrived instead of French onion. Not sure what market the restaurant is aiming at, but not me. We keep going back in hope. The only thing it is consistent in is being, 'Not quite right. '

Some friends treated us to a night away here.they had booked 2 connecting rooms with a sitting room in between,We were very impressed that the duty manager went up to the rooms with us and showed us how everything worked ,there are 2 hotels on the estate as well as houses and cottages.The food was delicious and the staff were all very friendly and efficient,I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

We had an enjoyable stay despite the really snowy conditions. The staff were excellent, keeping the paths clear and ferrying us about in the buggy to the car park. One young man was even using a leaf blower to remove the snow from the cars! Thanks for that. The spa was clean and pleasant though there were only limited changing facilities.All staff were very friendly and helpful. The only reason we didn 't give a 5 star was because of the maître de in the Brasserie who was over familiar and not even at his station when we arrived for our pre-booked evening meal. He asked to try one of my chips! I should have said ok and seen how he would have responded. Later he was very condescending to my h...

Visited here for dinner recently. Dinner, the tasting menu was a pure delight, service in the restaurant was excellent (though through the many courses four different waiting staff delivered which detracts from the personal touch , in my opinion) and all courses were nicely presented.It would have been a perfect evening had it not been for poor service in the bar where, when I complained about a short measure of champagne had been delivered, the server was close to rude and quite discourteous in reply. I did complain to front desk staff (very rare for me to be so upset as to have to do so) but I am sad to say nothing was followed up. But for this tiny hiccough I would have said that the even...

The Raithwaite Estate was an unexpected hidden gem and is somewhere we are already planning to return to.Having chosen Whitby as a last minute destination for a reunion with two other couples from across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire we struggled for accommodation in the town itself and as the Raithwaite Estate is only a couple of miles away 10 minutes £7 by taxi we booked for the one night Bed and Breakfast . Saturday 6th May .Two couples chose the standard double rooms and one couple chose a deluxe room.Two of the couples arrived mid morning and we were greeted in an extremely welcoming manner by the front of house team. From the doors being opened for you, to the offer to store the luggage u... Speisekarte ansehen
