Welcome to The Windmill, just a 5 minute walk from the bustling town centre of Scarborough, its busy railway station and close to the iconic Stephen Joseph Theatre which hosts regular plays and concerts throughout the year. The Windmill, is located in a quiet cul-de-sac and is the last remaining windmill in Scarborough offering quality self-catering and bed & breakfast accommodation with limited free parking. We have three king-size four poster rooms overlooking the courtyard and 2 lovely Suites in The Windmill itself; the Balcony Suite, for adventurous adults with a head for heights, and the lower Windmill Madeline Suite which is more spacious. We also have two single storey cottages in the courtyard, one cater for up to 5 people and the other for 4 people. So the choice is yours - you can cater for yourselves or be catered for with a hearty breakfast in The Windmill.

The wife and I booked this as a last minute get away and we were lucky enough to get the Madeline suite, The windmill is situated in a cul de sac which is quite hard to find, we had to drive around the block twice to find it but once you notice it you’ll never miss it again. The windmill is absolutely stunning inside and out. We met Andy when we arrived who was really friendly and helpful. The suite itself was lovely, nicely decorated and set out with a living room area and kitchen on the first floor, a bedroom and on suite bathroom on the second floor. Mind the drunk step on the stairs, it caught me out after a few drinks🤣 Very clean and tidy TVs in the living area and bedroom. High speed Wi-Fi throughout We managed to park in the grounds and didn’t drive again until it was time to leave, everything we needed was ithin walking distance. The town centre is only a 5 minute walk away, the beach a little bit further. All in all, the windmill is a fantastic place, very peaceful and quiet. Highly recommend it. Hopefully we will be going back again for a few days next year.…

A brilliant experience for my husband and,I and three of our grandchildren. Superb accommodation in the cottage with top of the range furnishings. We were made very welcome by the owners Nicola and Andy. We will definitely return as a couple to stay in the actual windmill. Lots to do and see in Yorkshire.

Our 3rd year in a row staying at the windmill, we stayed in the windmill apartment previously but this time it wasn't available so we had a hotel room. The room was very spacious and comfortable, lovely breakfasts every morning and great hosts. The windmill is our go to place to stay whenever we visit Scarborough, great location and lovely accommodation.

Was so excited to stay here and it went past my expectations. From booking the sevice and friendly hosts was fab ! Was well worth the steps to the top of the windmill .. gorgeous little studio / apartment everything we needed. Easy and quick check in and the restaurant recommendations are well worth a try , we tried 2 of them & top notch ! Parking was always available in the courtyard & it looked gorgeous lit up on a night time. Cant wait to stay again :)

What a fantastic place to stay in the heart of Scarborough. A warm, friendly welcome. Nicola and Andy are the perfect hosts who will do everything to make your stay as comfortable as can be. The rooms are beautiful and decorated to a really high standard with a very comfortable bed. It felt like I was in a boutique hotel. The breakfast was great and there's secure parking included. This is the perfect place to stay and I would return in a heartbeat.
