landscaped gardens, fountains and terraces (there’s even a courtyard hot tub and sauna –

perfect for a spot of well earned self-indulgence!). A wonderful place for a fairytale wedding at a location that will take your breath away - and it makes a great venue for extra special wedding photography by Dirk van der Werff.

Nestled in the heart of the North Yorkshire countryside, Crab Manor Hotel and the

Crab & Lobster Restaurant are ideal destinations for anyone who appreciates the finer

things in life. Offering opulent accommodation and exquisite cuisine, the twinned

establishments are perfect for a very special wedding and a well-deserved weekend break.

A true treasure trove of antiquities - what separates the ‘Crab’ from everywhere else is

its atmosphere - an eclectic mix of decor that belongs to another world, it simply isn’t your average hide-away.
