A country house in the middle of town, the Ruskin is rich in historic character and traditional charm, with carefully preserved original features and beautiful furnishings. Centrally situated, in a quiet conservation area in the heart of Harrogate, the hotel has a peaceful, relaxing setting in mature gardens and lawns with a private, floodlit car park. Built in the mid-nineteenth century, the Ruskin is now an exclusive, family-run property with an enviable reputation for the exceptional quality of its accommodation. Each en suite room has its own individual character and enjoys pleasant views over the gardens. Spacious, with high ceilings and large bay windows, all of the rooms are beautifully furnished with Victorian pine. There is a bar, a sunny veranda overlooking the gardens and a charming drawing room with an open fire. Guests also have complimentary use of the local health and leisure club, which is just a few minutes walk away.
