Best Newholm-cum-Dunsley Hotels

Though a bit remote, Raithwaite Sandsend provided a relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle of larger cities. Sandsend and Whitby are within walking distance (though the latter is a good 30 minute walk; a taxi is best). Several seaside paths are within 15 minutes of the hotel. The hotel grounds are lovely as is the staff who were very polite and friendly. All meals we ate the hotel were excellent. I enjoyed the common areas with various types of seating, games and fireplaces. The bar lacks character and warmth, unlike most other areas of the hotel. If the seating and decor is changed, I suspect it would make a world of difference.

No checking desk so you just have to ask at the Bar, pillows weren’t to my liking but that’s my personal preference. Otherwise great place to stay staff were friendly and helpful and the place was clean food and drink were good and the room was really nice but no view. 5 minutes by car down to the front or jump on the bus opposite really enjoyed our stay. What I did like was the bike station out side to repair or work on your cycle 🚲 including pumping your tyres

Wonderful! Our stay started with a lovely welcome from our host. Made my wife and I, and our two small dogs, feel very much at home. An incredible house and lovely garden with a stream at the bottom. The dogs loved it. In a small valley and beautiful. Our room was large and well furnished. The bed was so comfy too. Breakfast was delicious and there is a set time for diners with dogs which is a good idea. We could have used the big lounge but didn’t. Looked great too. Lovely 5 minute walk on a little path taking us to the seafront. Sandsend is very picturesque. Friendly pub for food too. Dogs loved the beach as did we. Impressive views of Whitby too. This place astounded us. Didn’t expect how incredible the stay would be.

Very rare do you give 5 point reviews. This place shows up a lot of 4 / 5 star hotels. All the good: Location - 2 minutes walk from the sea, 10 minutes walk to the centre. Staff - A courtesy call 24 hours prior to arrival to ensure everything was ok. They were spot on throughout. Parking - Available outside the hotel at a cost of under £5 for 24 hours. That is a bargain nowadays. Hotel & rooms - Everything was immaculate and everywhere within the hotel was clean, tidy and felt fresh. The room was a good size and it felt cosy. The dining room both appearance and the service from the staff was by fare above and beyond 3 star quality. The bar was available and the draft beers were of a good taste. Breakfast - Very good. Complemented by the service. 1 point minor point which doesn’t alter how good it was - If I was staying more than 1 night a small mini fridge in the room would of been ideal for keeping drinks cold on hot days. Verdict - If I returned to Whitby again I would not bother tying anywhere else. It had everything required and it was above the standard that I was expecting. I initially thought it was expensive for a 1 night stay, however I was not disappointed and it was value for money.
