The Ruskin

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 parking lot.


Built in the mid-19th century, the Ruskin is now an exclusive, family-run property with an enviable reputation for the exceptional quality of its accommodations. Each room has its own individual character and enjoys pleasant views over the gardens. Rooms have private bathrooms. 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 fireplace.


Guests also have complimentary use of the local health and fitness club, which is just a short walk away.
