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.

Amazing little place

Greeted on arrival by one of the owners, we had the attic rooms at the top which was 2 rooms and bathroom, the room at the back had an amazing view over Scarborough, rooms were very clean, cooked breakfast was freshly made for each person, lots of other choices as well, I am gluten free and they provided lots of choice, tall storeys is a few minutes from the sea front, I would definitely recommend and would definitely stay here again, thank you for a lovely stay.

It is a period property with friendly & welcoming hosts.
The full English breakfast is cooked to order from local produce. Which is amazing.
Perfect to stay and relax and enjoy Scarborough harbour and beach.

Very friendly guest house

The room was very cosy and had everything you could possibly want in. The breakfast was lovely and the hosts could not do enough for you. Will definitely stay there again but hopefully next time will be able to book one of the four poster rooms with a lovely sea view.

Perfect stay

A lovely bedroom with a 4 poster bed overlooking the harbour. Everything you could possibly need in your room. A very friendly and welcoming couple who run the guest house. A really good breakfast in the morning to help set you up for the day. We would not hesitate to stay again and would recommend to all our friends.

Great hotel!

Lovely hotel close to Scarborough sea front and a 10 minute walk to the town centre. Wonderful hosts, nothing too much trouble. Excellent full English breakfast! Booked a sea view with a four poster bed, room had lots of character with everything we needed. Didn’t hear any noise from other guests. The hotel even has a beautiful garden to relax in. Can’t wait until our next visit.

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.

It was a listed building, smallish rooms and 4 poster beds.
We stayed in the attic with latest views across the bay.

The owners were very friendly and couldn’t do enough for you.

Close to the castle and the beach

Our stay was just an overnight stopover. We received a friendly greeting nd our room was quaint and comfortable if a little cramped. Tea and biscuits were available in our room with some mints and Chocolates too. We could not fault the breakfast which was excellent and service was very attentive. The parking was on street, spots were hard to find and surrounding roads. are very narrow. The B&B was close to the castle and the seafront but the area was very hilly so good fitness is required if exploring on foot. We had a little trouble getting the electric shower to a usable temperature and no one had explained the pull switch to us. Overall it was fine for our needs and we would come back again

Beautiful stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We had a beautiful view of the harbour from our room and a stunning 4 poster bed.
They were very accommodating at all times and catered to my gluten and lactose intolerances.
We were also recommended to local pubs that were dog friendly.
Would highly recommend Tall Storeys and will certainly return ourselves.

very nice and pleasant place to stay

the owners of the tall storeys were very pleasant and accommodating, the premises were very well maintained with a very nice breakfast.
the shash windows were a bit dubious as when in latched the top half wasn't controlled so you could have it open just a little bit - it was half way open or nothing
