Moran and Ian were incredible hosts and went out of their way to provide tips and help during our stay. They made our visit truly comfortable. We stayed in a room with breathtaking views across Scarborough bay. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. Scarborough was lovely and the Castle was a delight. We will definitely return. Thank you for your kind hospitality.

We have just spent our wedding anniversary weekend at Tall Storeys and cannot rate it highly enough. We were welcomed by Ian and Morna with a card and bottle of fizz. We had a lovely room with a view over the harbour. Ian’s breakfasts were excellent. There is a lovely garden which we were shown around. We were lucky enough to be able to park outside the house and we were given a parking disc for the whole weekend. Would certainly go back when in Scarborough again.

We had an amazing view over the harbour.
Our fourth visit to Tall Storeys. Ian and Morna are the perfect hosts. The place is immaculate and in a way that totally befits the age and style of Tall Storeys.
Can’t overegg the welcome and hospitality we receive when we go there. They are attentive and so kind, but not overpowering.
Ian cooks the best classy breakfast in Scarborough, and Morna attends you with graceful aplomb. Our favourite go to place in Scarborough and so well located for easy walking access to South Beach and elsewhere. Can’t rate this place highly enough.

Better Than A Home From Home

Our hosts Morna and Ian provided an excellent standard of service. Breakfasts were delicious, healthy and lovingly cooked and were a looked forward to part of every morning.
Our accommodation was spotlessly clean with amazing sea views. There was a comfortable lounge to relax in and the garden was a delight to stroll through.
My wife and I would not hesitate to recommend Tall Storeys to other people.

Exceptional hotel and service

We had an excellent stay over, room was comfortable and cool considering the heat (trees opposite kept direct sunlight away and allowed a cool breeze).
Car parking on street not an issue and our hosts provided us with permits to cover our stay so no parking tickets.
Breakfast was first class and the service was second to none and could not be faulted. Our hosts Ian and Mona were very friendly it was a pleasure to stay there and to meet them. Would recommend Tall Storeys to anyone visiting Scarbough and surrounding area.

Lovely house with beautiful views

Tall Storey's is a lovely, tall(!) Regency town house toward the top of the cliffs, above Scarborough Harbour and just below the Castle. It is an easy 20 minute walk from the rail station (drop into the Market Hall on the way) or a somewhat more strenuous walk up the hill from South Beach! The rooms are medium-sized and nicely furnished with four poster beds and armchairs. (I hate hotel rooms where you have to sit on the bed!)

Ian and Morna are welcoming and accommodating. True, there is no lift and the stairs are rather steep and narrow, but if you are OK with this, it is a charming place to stay. We have stayed in Room 4 about 4 times now and we love just sitting and looking out the window at the boats coming and going in the harbour. The rooms are very quiet, though the seagulls can make a bit of a racket in the morning, but that is the seaside! The house is in a great location for all the attractions and has some nice eateries nearby. (We recommend Clark's and Lanterna.)

Good showers and toiletries; tea and coffee with biscuits and mints in the room. Breakfasts are good quality and plentiful. Nice fruit, good cooked items. The only small item I can say that is a tinyh criticism is that sometimes there is a bit of a smell from the drains, but nothing much and in an old house like this, it can only be expected sometimes.
