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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A wonderful place to stay by the sea!

We stayed 2 nights and could not fault anything! Wonderful friendly hosts who make an amazing breakfast. Little things like biscuits and chocolates on the hospitality tray, free toiletries and bath robes to use made it extra special! We will definitely return :)
