The Wrea Head Hall Country House Hotel & Restaurant

Excellent staff. Would have liked a menu change as it was the same for 5 nights. Also would have liked a light lunchtime, menu. Please can you offer a daily newspaper service. Some rooms were up 2 flights of stairs - no lift available . We were moved on day 1 because we couldn’t cope with the stairs.

This would have been ‘excellent’ other than a major ‘hiccup’ on our first morning for breakfast. The staff were absolutely fantastic, they couldn’t do enough. We stayed (and paid for) a superior room in the stable block at the rear of the main premises, fantastic room, excellent amenities, but we were told ‘there is an umbrella for your use when coming across the the main building’, we had to use it, it was not fully operational due to a missing stay (minor problem). At breakfast time, Monday, we made our breakfast order, as did others, and waited, and waited, and waited and when it arrived I had one ‘carbonised’ breakfast rasher of bacon (it had broken into two), like eating a piece of wood) and a (single) sausage semi carbonised, so much so the knife would cut through it and the skin left the contents and no fried egg - came later after raising it as missing. The staff were going round every table offering extra hot drinks as a result of (in my view) horrendous delay’s. My wife had smoked haddock, so small it was hard to find. On the Tuesday a waiter by the name of Kumar was there, had this been our first breakfast we would have thought it amazing, service almost immediate, excellent portions, absolutely everything completely different. We assume, but we were never told, a problem in the kitchen the day before. In the dining room for breakfast over one hour the first day, all done within 35 mins the second. Fantastic building and setting and literally full of people of a certain age, including us! The grounds are immaculate. We did not eat evening meals there as the menu did not suit our needs.

Well what can I say, what a lucky find, I only ever write a review if the hotel is exceptional and this one really was. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, the rooms are clean modern, tastefully decorated and everything you could possibly need. The food is wonderful, very well presented and very high quality produce. Breakfast was excellent. A truly wonderful stay, can't wait to return.

We decided to visit this hotel in February to celebrate our thirtieth wedding anniversary and we are so glad that we did. Our opinion is as follows: • Super hotel in beautiful, well maintained grounds. • Tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean rooms. • Outstanding, polite staff. • Delicious, beautifully presented food. • Reasonable price structure. We cannot recommend this superb hotel enough and we will definitely be returning.

Wrea Head Hotel is absolutely superb, excellent food, staff and hotel/room. We felt spoilt from the moment we arrived, walking around the beautiful gardens, to sitting in the room for pre dinner drinks to the stunning decor. The chef is next level especially for vegetarian meals.

Having previously stayed at this location 2 years ago we decided to have a return visit and we were not disappointed. Some minor decoration has been undertaken, however, the building is still a magnificent place to stay and the staff are wonderful. The food is fine dining and always beautifully presented and tasty served in which ever room you are located which does not matter as both rooms used for dining have character. The hotel has good parking available and if you want to park up and utilise the local bus services allowing you to have a drink during the day services to Scarborough, Filey and Whitby are very regular and save you having to find parking at each location. The rooms are extremely well decorated and tasteful with all the required services and the shower in our room (16) was the best I have encountered anywhere. The views from the room of the surrounding countryside are delightful and if the weather is good enough the outside furniture is nice to enjoy a drink and take in the views. All of the staff go over and above to meet your every need and the manager ensures that the hotel runs like clockwork. This hotel is recommended for couples or small groups having a variety of seating throughout the building.

What a gem of a place! This was our first time and we will definitely be going back. Fantastic location, staff, food and the rooms are exceptional we really cannot fault anything. Only 5 miles front Scarborough sea-front but far enough away to take advantage of the beautiful scenery it stands in.

I have lost count how many times we have stayed at Wrea Head Hall but, since 2010, have seen it going through the magnificent transformation and it isn't finished yet. This little gem is set in many acres of land with a long sweeping drive that wraps around part of the well-tended grounds. The cosy rooms are individually but beautifully styled as are the other areas of the hotel. Kevin and his professional and friendly team are exceptional, going above and beyond at all times. Nothing is too much trouble. The choice of menus created by Head Chef Andrew Riley are as good as any top class restaurant and plentiful. I cannot think of a better place to stay as agreed by many of the regulars. Highly recommended.

A most relaxing 2 days spent here with friends enjoying excellent service and an outstanding welcome and help from Laura. Lovely reception rooms, attractive extensive grounds and ideal location for many varied local walks and activities.
