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

Nice quiet road. Close to the beach. Just a short walk,but its a slight hill. Convenient for outdoor theater. Fabulous breakfast, it kept us going most of the day. Very little street noise. Definitely would book again.
4-night trip

10/10

Room was immaculate, recently refurbished, and the best single room i have stayed in. View was limited over driveway but not too close to next door and plenty of daylight in room, opposite Peasholme Park and parking was easy. Bus stop was around the corner. It felt a safe area to stay. Owners and guests were quiet and friendly ,no disturbancies from squeeky floorboards, toilets or traffic. Breakfast was excellent . Dining room , lounge and hall were all tastefully refurbished . A lovely relaxing stay .
2-night trip

10/10

The Russell is at the back of Peasholm Park and is convenient for the Open Air Theatre. A walk to the seashore. Denise was welcoming and friendly. The beds were comfy and the room had 2 comfy chairs and plenty of drink making supplies.The breakfast was very good and served by a delightful young lady. As a person with limited mobility I found the stairs steep but not unexpected in older properties. Parking was in the drive and we had to wait for someone to move their car but on street parking was available. I suggest a record car reg to room number would have helped. We enjoyed our stay and would book again. Thank you for making our stay enjoyable.
