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.

Location is central for North or South bays.
Close to the castle on a quiet road.
Breakfast was lovely and is set out on individual tables for each room.

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.

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.
