This is a wonderful hotel, and all the staff are an absolute credit to it. Husband and I took my Mum here for a special trip. From time spent when I booked making sure my Mum got the right kind of room for her needs, to nothing being too much trouble once we were there, this place is luxurious without being stuffy. Friendly but with an old-school attention to detail and top notch service. My Mum's room was in the main house near the lift and therefore full of character, while we had a spacious and immaculate room in the newer Woodland Wing. Dinner on both nights was exceptional and breakfast was good too. Lovely to meet Lord Gisborough himself, very chipper at 97! And my husband enjoyed some post dinner whiskies from ”The Safe”. A perfect base from which to explore the coast around Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay. Also, despite there being weddings on both nights we were there there was no noise or disruption to the service for ordinary guests which is not always the case!! It's a long way from us but if we were EVER so much as thinking of returning to the area, this would be our first choice
We meet up with 3 other couples every October and have done so for 14 years, visiting hotels in England, Scotland and Ireland. This was one of the best stays we have ever had. The hotel is lovely as were all the staff, and the food first class. Breakfasts are fantastic, the stars for me were the hash browns! The 3 night bed breakfast and evening meal package was terrific value. The hotel was lovely and warm, beds were extremely comfortable, everything was spotlessly clean and there are really interesting artifacts around and wall art. Well done to everyone at Gisborough
