Victorian Etiquette introduced at North Yorkshire Moors and Coast Hotel

January 28, 2016

Cober Hill Hotel and Conference Centre near Scarborough has introduced a new initiative that encompasses Victorian Etiquette and engages the hotel’s employees to provide a more courteous and polite approach to guests and to each other.

The initiative was inspired by the founder of the hotel which was originally a Victorian Manor house that was developed in 1905 by John Wilhelm Rowntree, eldest son of the chocolate manufacturer Joseph Rowntree, who had planned Friedenstahl, a detached house in large grounds at Scalby, as a guest house.

Meetings, conference and event delegates are to be invited to sign up for the initiative when holding events at the hotel and will be included in the hotel’s register of ‘Campaign for Courtesy Ambassadors’.

“Our staff receive many compliments from guests and we are certainly seen as a very friendly and happy team. However, we do see in society many examples of poor behaviour and manners and this initiative is designed to remind us that there is a way to provide a polite and helpful service that will be recognised.” comments general manager, Lyndsay Chamberlain.

The hotel has joined the ‘National Campaign for Courtesy’ as a corporate member and will be promoting the aims of the charity, which works to retain courtesy and politeness in everyday life and business.

“We are in the hospitality business and it is important that we set the highest standards of courtesy and welcome and we can learn much from our Victorian forefathers – I am sure our founder would be very pleased.” added Lyndsay.
