Find out more about Wrea Head Country House Hotel

Built in 1881, this elegant Scarborough Hotel is set in acres of private grounds in the village of Scalby on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park.

On arrival, a tantalising glimpse of honeyed stone, from which this country mansion is built, can be seen from the long winding drive – but this adorable country house hotel only reveals its full grandeur once the last corner has been turned.

The hotel’s arched entrance is vaguely reminiscent of a church doorway and, once inside instead of the bland walls of more modern hotels, guests are greeted with the warmth of glorious oak panelling, comfortable leather sofas and beautifully upholstered chairs.

Offering truly breathtaking, uninterrupted views across the Yorkshire countryside that must seen to be believed, Wrea Head offers arguably on of the most beautiful setting of all Scarborough hotels.

Surrounded by the endless scenery of England’s most beautiful county – from the heather filled Moors and scenic Dales to the spectacular Yorkshire heritage coastline – you can choose make your break as active, or relaxing, as you like.

Just minutes away and from the hotel you can explore the unique Yorkshire countryside, made famous by the stories of James Herriot, and the Yorkshire television series ‘Heartbeat’, or take a trip into the iconic seaside town of Scarborough, the home of ITV’s ‘The Royal’ and hit film ‘Little Voice’ just 5 minutes from Scalby village.

As well as the 21 individually styled, comfortable bedrooms. guests will also enjoy the our Michelin Recommended Four Season Restaurant, The Ellis Cocktail Lounge, The Library and the hotel’s wood paneled halls.

During warmer months the newly built conservatory offers the perfect place to relax or enjoy the views by taking a seat on the outdoor terrace .

Small enough to care, yet large enough to cope with the demands of the most discerning guest, Wrea Head Hotel provides the perfect retreat from the trials of everyday life.

Wrea Head Hotel also appeals to business guests and is an ideal venue to get away from it all and get down to the business in hand. You might consider taking over the hotel exclusively to host your meeting in a secure, efficient and peaceful environment where attentive service and fine food offer the perfect environment for your event.
