The Wrea Head Hall Country House Hotel & Restaurant

We were so looking forward to a luxury break at the price we were paying. At the end of the stay we felt it had been overpriced, certainly not luxury, and will not return. The “luxury “ didn’t even include water to drink in the room. Perhaps fortunately as there were no glasses to drink from. The only glasses were in the bathroom and too small for putting essentials such as a palette in The bed was very thin and most uncomfortable and I woke with backache each morning. We were incidentally accompanied by a dead wasp on the window sill after the first morning , obviously it avoided the views ( or duster) of the cleaners. As did some excrement in the inside of the toilet. I cleaned that off myself! The choice of continental breakfast was nothing like what is found “on the continent “ The evening meal menu provided only 2 main courses which did not contain spices , such as curried haddock. Why not just plain haddock? The overall atmosphere was funereal as though the guests were in “God’s waiting room” it was only broken briefly by the lovely young staff. No sign of any managers who it seems leave the hassle for them to deal with. Most unfair! It is in a lovely setting but I fear that’s the only saving grace, apart from the aforementioned young staff. This is the first time in my 76 years that I’ve felt the need to write such a review as this. It really isn’t worth the money in our opinion and want to alert others.

The room was beautiful (15) tastefully decorated and with most things you could want apart from the bed which was the thinnest most uncomfortable mattress I have lain on. We asked if it could be changed or a mattress topper provided but they were unable to do this which was disappointing for the cost of the stay. The grounds are fabulous and it was lovely to sit with a drink on an evening. The menu was quite limited but we found something on both nights. Service was very good and they were happy to help with the luggage as there are no lifts. Really couldn't complain apart from the bed which is after all a large part of the stay.

We had a wonderful stay in beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Staff were welcoming and helpful. The room had a very comfortable bed and excellent shower. We will definitely be planning a return visit.

What an amazing place...i actually stayed in the carriage rooms which was a frw steps away from the hotel.. Which was not a problem...it was beautifully decorated..so relaxing ..the food is the best I have had in a long time...the room was immaculate and there was plenty of tea and coffee before bed and in the morning...had a choice of shower and bath in my room...worth every penny...

We spent 3 nights at Wrea Head Hall and ‘upgraded’ to Room 4 with an amazing long view towards Scarborough Castle. The hotel is situated in Scalby, a lovely village to the north of Scarborough. The room was amazing, a very comfortable large bed, plenty of storage, a modern, well appointed bathroom. There was lots of room to relax. The food - both dinner and breakfast - were freshly prepared, local ingredients varied and imaginative. All the staff were friendly, professional and VERY helpful. We will be returning . . ..!!

Visited Wrea Head for my 50th Birthday meal, beautiful place, set in gorgeous surroundings. We received a warm welcome and had a drink in the bar before lunch, starter was very nice, I had the chicken liver parfait.. The lamb main however was served practically raw and not to my liking at all.. They very kindly replaced it but maybe worth checking how the meat is cooked prior to ordering. The rhubarb crumble was also served cold and topping was very hard..Overall disappointed especially as it was for a special occasion..
