SKELWITH Leisure is providing more bedrooms at the Raithwaite Estate, near Whitby.

The company has opened the 28-bedroom Keep at the estate, on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, where they already operate the 45-bedroom Raithwaite Hall Country Retreat.

The Keep includes the Hunters Bar and Restaurant, meeting rooms, outside patio areas and panoramic views of the woodland on the estate.

Paul Ellis, managing director of Skelwith Leisure, said: “We have invested heavily in the estate to date and will continue to do so. We’ve started work on our new eco-lodges and, along with The Keep, these complement the original Hall and spa.”

Work on the remaining cottages will begin later this year, along with a new access road.
