We went to the Highlander to partake of the fish and chips and the pub quiz on a Thursday night. What a good night it turned out to be. Fish and chips excellent. Real ale excellent (£3 a pint). Quiz excellent. "Play your cards right" after quiz, even better as we won the jackpot!!

We headed to scarborough for a 2 day break and took our miniature schnauzer a long. We struggled to find a dog friendly pub and we came across the highlander. We ended up eating here 2 nights running. Welcoming, friendly, good value for money and a proper pub atmosphere. Ecclectic mix of locals and great food to boot. Definately one... More

I stayed here for five nights last August, yes it's a pub, but there is a friendly atmosphere about it. Locals use it for drinking well. There is entertainment some nights, with a 'quiz', and 'Play Your Cards Right'. It is great fun. the food is good and you can order a meal any time during the day. The rooms... More

We are locals who have visited the hotel regularly for bar meals, family celebratory meals and most recently for the special New Years Eve dinner which was been held in their newly refurbished dining area. The food as always was excellent and plentiful. Yes the rest of the building could do with refurbishing but these things can't be done all... More

The room was very clean but the tables and chair far too low and not much use, the tv was again too low... More

Booked last minute for a 2 night stay last week. Found the Hotel very easily with parking right outside for which they give you a permit for your stay. Lovely welcoming atmosphere. The room we were given was a large family room which was very clean and comfortable with plenty of tea and coffee available in the room. A nice... More

We booked online and stayed at this hotel in a large group recently, and were very impressed. Prior to arriving, we communicated via e-mail and received assistance with all of our requests, the replies were all prompt and polite. The hotel is fairly easy to find, there is a large 24 hour car park just to the rear, however they... More

The Highlander in Scarborough is a fantastic place to stay. The staff are friendly and helpful and the breakfasts in the hotel part are great. The evening meals and drink selection in the bar are also very good.
