2 day break

The owners were friendly and helpful. We stayed 2 nights and the hotel suited our needs. We were in room 4 which was small but had everything we needed. We would stay there again.

Great value

Excellent quiet hotel, great value for money. Perfect location for theatre/North Bay beside Peasholm Park. Really friendly staff, comfortable bed/room, lovely breakfast which was just right amount. Enjoyed it so much I booked an extra night! Also as a solo traveller I felt comfortable and safe. Breakfast service only an hour 8.30-9.30 as it’s small but it never felt busy at breakfast & was perfect time for me anyway. Very generous with tea/coffee/milk/sugar rather than just 2 which doesn’t go very far. Replenished every day too, great for me as I drink lots. Addition of hot chocolate was nice too. Will definitely be back.

Great stay at a lovely place.

What a lovely place to stay close to Northbay and only £6 for a Taxi to Southbay. The Hotel is clean comfortably and ran by a lovely couple with a great Breakfast. What more do you need. We will return.

Great location for the scarborough open air theatre and peasholm park. Nothing was too much to ask. From the highchair at the breakfast table and travel cott bed supplied in the family room. Private off road parking. Run by a lovely friendly couple. A very nice breakfast and even gave us fried bread that we cheekily asked for.

All round lovely stay

We had a lovely stay at The Russell with friends and family. The owners were friendly, attentive and helpful. The family room (no 6) we stayed in was very comfortable, clean and spacious. Lovely walk in shower with adequate space in the en-suite. Comfy beds, big bay window looking out toward the trees. The lounge area downstairs was very nice and comfortable with a selection of board games for families. There was also a small bar which was open in the evenings and run by the owner who was more than happy to chat and had a large selection of drinks. The breakfast was delicious- very hearty and freshly cooked which set us up for the day ahead. The location of the property is ideal for walking to the North Bay and down through the park, We parked on the driveway and it felt a very safe area with no unwanted noise on an evening. Will definitely be visiting here again! Thank you very much for your hospitality.

I booked the Russell because it was very close to the open air theatre and to say Denise runs it by herself she was a very good host and you can't complain about the breakfast

Lovely location at the top of Peasholm Park, well kept mid century detached. Denise was very helpful and gave us a breakfast early on request. Would stay again.
