My wife and I stayed at The Spa Hotel for two nights in September 2024. We booked up well in advance directly through the hotel website and the online booking experience was faultless. We chose the Attic Sea View Room and, despite the extra stairs to contend with, it was a great choice. The ocean view from our room was just so lovely. The hotel even provides a set of binoculars to gaze out at the magnificent vista (and people watching too). The hotel is really well maintained and overall is classy and stylish without being pompous. The room was large and comfortable, with a huge bed and plenty of pillows, and a large couch. The bathroom was modern and spacious and well equipped. There were plenty of plugs to keep devices and whatnot plugged in. The only problem we experienced with our stay was the heating did not work. We mentioned it to the front desk but the service technician had left and we never had it working during our short stay. The hotel was flexible and adaptable enough to provide an electric fan heater that was more than adequate. Overall the hotel staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. One of the hugest benefits of staying at The Spa Hotel was the number of onsite amenities. The table service restaurant, the pizza bar, the vast cocktail bar, and the Amber Rooms. We were able to get my wife a short notice massage at the latter and she absolutely thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The dining room is right at the front of the hotel with more of those magnificent views. The food and wine we had on our first night was really good, and we were very grateful we did not have to venture out to find food after a long day winding around the narrow North York Moors roads. However, the piece d'resistance was without argument the pizza. We ate at the pizza bar on our second night and even though it felt like an age for our order to arrive (we were starving) it was more than worth it. This was THE BEST pizza either of us had anywhere. So fresh and tasty. The appetisers were great too (although I forgot what we had now). Its a long-arse way to go for pizza but I cant wait to get back up there. One note, parking is pretty tough. We didnt have issue finding a spot any time, but I did overhear a couple of complaints. And the spots I did find were REALLY tight for even a compact SUV. Anything larger you'd be SOL. A small car would be ideal. With all the other amenities attracting visitors to the facility there simply isn't enough space for everyone. I do think hotel guests should get priority over spa or restaurant guests. There is plenty of parking up on the esplanade, but that is a moderately steep walk uphill. Not great for everyone, so just be aware of that. Overall we were really happy with our choice to stay at The Spa. It's a wonderful location and an impeccable vacation experience. Very highly recommended. read more
