Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Sneaton Castle enjoys high praise, especially for its picturesque location near Whitby, offering tranquil surroundings and views overlooking the gardens. Guests appreciate the well-decorated rooms with rustic features, often mentioning the luxurious free-standing baths and comfortable beds; some have noted the lack of shelving in the showers. The food, particularly the BBQ ribs and fresh scampi reflecting the coastal proximity, is a highlight, and the generous breakfast served with sunrise views is a plus, making it an excellent experience and good value for money.

charming castle stay

ample parking cosy feel beautiful view

i found ample parking upon arrival and the hotel had a cosy feel. i particularly enjoyed the standalone bath provided. the surrounding area offered beautiful views and plenty of nature. i dined at the restaurant one evening and again at lunchtime the food was lovely.

i noticed the shower lacked a shelf to place toiletries while showering this was a minor inconvenience. there also weren't toilet roll holders next to the lavatory in the en-suite. i hope to see these additions in the future.
