Crathorne Hall

Crathorne Hall Hotel is cut from a different cloth with stunning grounds and an amazing history. Be sure to wander around the grounds and explore the rooms and artworks. Lovely service, food and drinks. Huge thanks to Martin who made Anna and I so welcome and took the time to share his extensive knowledge and fascinating stories. Definitely recommended for a visit or stay :)

Enjoyed our 13th wedding anniversary at the Crathorne Hall Hotel. We stayed two nights from 13-14 May and checked out on Thursday, 15 May. The Staff was amazing, the minute we checked in and out, we had drinks in the bar, service was Excellent, and we dined in a restaurant for two nights, and we enjoyed the food on both nights. We would like to say a big thank you to all the staff, Alan and Boiwa Hanna Tia, and the kitchen team, Matt, as well as reception, Krista, and Emma, and Alice, and Byron, you look after us on our last night, thanks to Gloria for the service. Afternoon tea and breakfast on both mornings, thanks to Victoria booking for our room, stephen, me, Caroline, and the whole team were amazing, thanks to Claire for making our 13th wedding anniversary cake, it was beautiful for us

Beyond outstanding Crathorne Hall is a beautiful hotel with charming grounds and surroundings The one thing that makes Crathorne Hall special however, is their staff There are very few places now with such brilliant and dedicated staff who give an old world level of service that you cannot find in many places anymore. I lost count of the number of times our friends and family commented on how splendid the staff are, and how "they just can't do enough for you" From the moment you arrive, you receive a marvellous welcome in reception, thank you to Hannah, Olivia and Emma on reception, who are such a warm professional team. They made us feel at ease and kept tabs to make sure that everything was as expected. Also then special mention to Gloria who was in the bar area when we arrived. It was quite busy but she made room for us. We were booked in for dinner, so didn't need a full meal, but many of the group felt they would like something to eat after travelling and Gloria went off to find hot fresh scones for us which were absolutely delicious and went down a treat after a long journey. Gloria is just so lovely, friendly and welcoming and makes sure that everyone is looked after. Her smile lights up the room. She makes sure every little detail is tended to, especially for the chldren and those with dietary requirements. She even remembered that I liked Earl Grey tea at breakfast which arrived and then brought a fresh pot of tea after breakfast with hot water as she remembered that I liked my tea not too strong. It's the attention to detail and the availability and care of the staff which makes the place so special. On the first evening, Byron and Martin were on duty when we arrived for dinner at the restaurant, it was busy and we had 2 big tables full of family, including 2 small children. Everybody commented on how Byron and Martin could not done anything more to make sure that the children were catered for and made to feel incredibly special. I think my little great niece had 4 dinners because she couldn't decide from the range of choices; so they made sure she had a little taste of all her favourites. On the day of the wedding, Alan was in charge and was so organised making sure everything ran smoothly, to time and that it was all the way that we wanted it to be. He arranged everything with such attention to detail, and if you asked for something he made sure it was sorted very efficiently. He is calm and organised keeping everything flowing. When we came back to the hotel from church, all the staff were ready and made every guest feel special. I overheard so many guests saying how beautiful the grounds are and as the sun came out, the staff served drinks and canapes on the lawn - it was just perfect. The wedding meal itself was absoltutely deicious and everything was piping hot, well presented and of an extremely high standard - which for a large group of over 90 people was amazing. Sometimes food for a large group can be a bit average,
