The White Rose Awards, now in their 17th year, recognise and reward excellence in tourism, Yorkshire's largest and fastest growing industry and the Yorkshire Coast "Oscar" is the one we won last year.

Nov 05 - Winners of the Yorkshire Coast Self-Catering Holiday Award 2005
We were very proud to recieve this award in October 2005, which recognises the best holiday cottage establishment covering the Scarborough, Whitby and Filey area. To quote from the citation at the award ceremony ... "The judges were particularly impressed with the quality of information, the excellent first impressions, the high quality of all cottages available and generally the overall helpfulness of the staff.”

Wrea Head Country Cottages are frequently highlighted in the National Press. Here are some of the more recent entries:

Wrea Head as described by the YTB Yorkshire Forward's "Alternative Guide to Yorkshire":

"With awards all the way down to the beach, Wrea Head Holiday Cottages sit in the middle of rural heaven, on the edge of the North York Moors National Park and just three miles from Scarborough. As well as the unspoilt views and the easy reach to the beach, you can also use the indoor heated swimming pool, Jacuzzi and sauna. What more could you wish for?"
