An amazing stay. The dining experience was excellent and the renovations that are underway at this venue is out of this world. The bedrooms are very tired and but very desirable but clean and comfortable and price reflective - a dog friendly venue - dogs welcome in all spaces. Brilliant !!! the bedrooms are scheduled for renovation November 2025 - if these are going to be designed and completed to the standard of the social spaces then the grand villa hotel will be outstanding and I imagine one of the best wedding venues in North Yorkshire

Grand Villa Heights is in one of the most lovely places I know in the UK. It's warm, quiet, large rooms, and comfortable with a touch of glam for big events. I was a woman alone, and felt comfortable and supported: people friendly but not over-friendly, time for a wee chat. The bar/eating area is well laid out and spacious. I think the menu doesn't have enough non meat alternatives, but I was able to negotiate simple meals for my diet. I suggest 3 more meals on the menu based on nuts, pulses, etc very strongly - whats great is chef will accommodate you willingly. The coffee is dire! Needs upgrading. But all in all - do come and enjoy this relaxing hotel.

The Hotel grounds are stunning and there is a gorgeous view across Robin Hoods Bay. The room we stayed in was dog friendly but a bit dated although it was nice and clean. The mattress was a bit soft for our liking but the rest of the room was fine for a one night stay. The walks you can do from the hotel are amazing so loved the location.

This property has an identity crisis and would only recommend staying hear if you are part of a wedding party. As a general guest you don’t have access to the gardens or main bar. Only dining option is at the bark where its cold and dark. Staff prioritize weddings parties over guests.
