Raithwaite Estate

An excellent stay, friendly, helpful and approachable staff. The amenities were good, super breakfast and beautiful grounds.

We arrived at 5pm for check in and was told we couldn't use the spa facilities because there was a children's session on until 6. At five minutes to 6 we arrived at the spa to be told the entire area was closed because a child had had an accident and the pool was contaminated which we were told they would call our room when it was clear. Over an hour later no call to us which we decided to then call ourselves only to find out the spa wasnt ready and probably wouldn't be ready all night. Being our engagement present me and my partner decided our evening spa was ruined so had to venture into whitby town centre to save our evening. The staff were amazing however but this did pretty much ruin our experience as we only booked here for the spa. Cant help but think is it such a great idea to allow children's sessions in such a place on the main weekend day when the place is fully booked by adults escaping for the weekend?!

Whether was amazing grounds are very beautiful. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Good was delicious in the restaurant. Very clean throughout the hotel. Would definitely recommend. Richie & Jen

having previously stayed at the hotel i was looking forward to returning however due to the thickness of the walls i was repeatedly disturbed by a baby crying during the night add for the price paid i would not expect the walls to have marks all over them and paint to be peeling from the skirting boards in the bathroom or staines on the provided bathrobes. i would have explained these issues on booking out however we were not asked how our stay was.

We came back to stay at the Raithwaite after enjoying a trip here 2 years ago. We chose to return as we were marrying locally and wanted a friendly hotel to stay in, where both our children and parents would be welcome and feel comfortable. We were certainly not disappointed. From the moment we arrived the staff could not have been more welcoming and attentive, they made it clear that they would try their hardest to accommodate us and that our children would not be made to feel like second class citizens. We took advantage of the spa facilities and our children could join in the ‘fun splash’ times which they loved. The breakfast menu was fantastic; there was both a buffet and a menu with hot items such as full English, different egg dishes and porridge. The food was really tasty and although we did not take advantage of lunch or evening meals, when we return in future we would definitely visit the restaurant. All in all we would recommend this hotel very highly; the grounds are beautiful, the rooms have all you could need, food is excellent and above all the service was second to none.
