Company info

Wrea Head Hall is ideally located to access the seaside resort and beaches of Scarborough just a few minutes drive away and the dramatic North York Moors National Park . We are well placed to visit local attractions such as Whitby, Goathland,Filey and Robin Hood's Bay as well as many other locations along the Heritage Coast.

Property info

Wrea Head Hall is an elegant Yorkshire hotel set in acres of landscaped grounds, in the village of Scalby on the edge of the North York Moors National Park. This stunning Gothic mansion with uninterrupted views across the Yorkshire countryside is arguably the best of all the Scarborough Hotels and just a short drive from the Yorkshire Heritage coast. Offering first class accommodation the hotel is home to one of the best restaurants in Scarborough "1881" serving delicious contemporary British cuisine in classic surroundings. For your short break or romantic weekend Wrea Head Hall offers you a relaxed and enjoyable stay in a perfect location to explore North Yorkshire and its attractions. Built in 1881 as a private home for the Ellis family, the mansion sits on an elevated piece of land known as Wrea Head Rigg from which the house gets its name. Now a much loved hotel, Wrea Head Hall still retains the feeling of an historic country house. You will find that all hotel bedrooms are contained within the mansion or adjacent Carriage House. The mansion is built of local honey coloured stone in the romantic Gothic style, adorned with gargoyles, stained glass windows and a bell tower.

Neighborhood info

The pretty village of Scalby nestles between the outskirts of the popular seaside resort of Scarborough and the majestic North York Moors National Park which rises just behind Wrea Head Hall. We act as a gateway to the National Park and have views towards the Heritage Coast and the Cleveland Way.
