We round up some of Yorkshire’s best hotel and spa venues CRATHORNE HALL HOTEL 01642 700 398 | www.handpickedhotels.co.uk/crathornehall/weddings What can you expect? Crathorne Hall is a stunning stately home located close to Yarm. Perched on the edge of the Yorkshire Moors, it commands incredible views over the Leven valley. The estate’s sweeping driveway leads to this idyllic traditional building, which dates back to 1906. Its tower bells and exquisite stonemasonry showcases its grandeur, and creates an enchanting spot for visitors to marvel at the views. The interior has been sympathetically restored with a mix of classic and contemporary furnishings and boasts high ceilings, decadent chandeliers, intricate cornicing and marble fireplaces. Crathorne Hall was built for celebrating, and visitors here are walking in the footsteps of prime ministers, royalty, actors and musicians. Guests can stay in one of the hotel’s 37 individually designed bedrooms; 17 of which have been fully renovated as part of a £4m restoration of the East Wing. Time to celebrate! Couples can tie the knot in two spaces. The Presidents Lounge (up to 40 guests) is ideal for intimate gatherings with its first-floor location and Juliet balcony offering far-reaching views. The Edwardian Room (90 guests) is a lighter, bigger option boasting original features. Post-vow celebrations can take place in The Drawing Room (120 guests), which is at the heart of the house.
