Situated at Sandsend beach in North Yorkshire, the hotel and spa has used lockdown to remaster the whole guest experience to ensure it is safe and to enable guests to feel relaxed. 

Safety measures include:

Prior to arrival guests are to fill in a check-in health questionnaire. 

Guests will be able to use Raithwaite’s new mobile app to check offers, menus, hotel information and local guides. 

Both check-in and check-out will be carried out in designated areas away from the main reception and final bills are to be emailed. Payments are to be taken by card, as there are to be no cash payments throughout the hotel. 

Raithwaite Sandsend currently has 73 rooms in total. To ensure lots of space for all guests, only 64 rooms will be available for the re-opening ­ 39 located in the Hall and 24 in the Keep, many of which come with private outdoor space. Room keys are sanitised before given to guests and there will be a new guest amenity package provided, including disposable gloves, masks, hand sanitiser.  New room deep cleaning procedures implemented focusing on touching points as well as pillows, duvets and linen to be quarantined for 72 hours in designated rooms, there are also now no in-room minibars available.

Dogs are still welcome, however, guests with pets now need to bring their own dog beds.
