Take Some Time to Yourself at Wrea Head Hall
If you are looking to escape the hectic hustle and bustle of the festive season, then Wrea Head Hall on the edge of the North York Moors may be just the answer
As you approach the hall beyond the village duck pond you pass the Gothic gatehouse at the bottom of the carriage drive, before starting the drive across fields and woods and glimpsing the mansion at the top of a rise. Set within 17 acres of landscaped grounds and woodland and just a short drive from the heritage coast, the hotel is also within easy reach of local attractions such as Whitby, Filey and Robin Hood's Bay with the city of York a little further away.
Wrea Head Hall offers a variety of luxurious accommodation with the choice to stay either in the Gothic mansion or the recently renovated Carriage House (all rooms are set within the original buildings). Downstairs, the stunning double-height oak panelled hall with impressive inglenook fireplace and huge mullioned window provides a cosy seating area, with an impressive main staircase rising to the upper floors.

Once the day is done, it's time to retreat to one of the 33 individually designed guest rooms including suites, some with four posters, one with an antique teak bed from Rajasthan, all complemented by luxurious marble tiled bathrooms with plumbing by Burlington of London.

Imagine mince pies, mulled wine, 'Christmas with all the trimmings’ and a warm welcome. In other words, Christmas time as you imagined it always was and always should be....
