Beautiful location. Lovely grounds. Fantastic food and great staff. HOWEVER, my room was absolutely tiny - the smallest room I've ever been given anywhere. The worst thing was that the walls seemed to be just constructed of thin plasterboard. Every time someone went to the loo in the night, I could hear everything. The noise of people using the bathroom... More

Thank you for your kind comments about the staff and food. This weekend was very busy with a conference which I hope you enjoyed. All rooms were booked out in the main house, which is four star hostel accommodation so you did possibly get the smallest room. The hostel accommodation used to be a girls boarding school so we do...

We had all the rooms together in one seperate part to the main castle and the dinner at night was in the garden room. The food was excellent. We had a... More

I went with a friend for a 3 night break and had a lovely time. I advise you to go half board as the food is fabulous, especially the evening meals, and served with a smile. The grounds are beautiful for relaxing or walking and there are two donkeys!! Our room was huge with amazing views, very clean and had... More

Night before attending a conference at Sneaton decided to stay b&b so I could explore Whitby. Booking was easy, everything ran like clockwork. Handy for Whitby without being so close there are traffic and parking problems. Able to walk down but there is a handy local bus too. Grounds are superb. Plenty of lounges with TVs if wanted. Also plenty... More

We, a group of ten, stayed for a week in the standard accommodation. Very comfortable, large lounge with TV, hot drinks machine, arm chairs. Good food. Friendly and helpful staff. Large beautiful grounds with views of the surrounding hills and sea. No wonder people return and I expect we will. Easy downhill walk or bus into Whitby Town Centre but... More

What a lovely place! Booked to stay in the 4* St Francis House accommodation for my son's 8th birthday. We love Whitby and have been many times but this was new accommodation for us.

Sneaton Castle is a magnificent peaceful location on the edge and a little detached from Whitby town centre. Although I didn't opt to stay here, I felt it beneficial to the social aspect of being with a group of friends that the leader had chosen for the weekend. It wasn't until I arrived that I discovered the nature of Sneaton's... More
