The Windmill Hotel - Scarborough

Grade II listed 230-year-old windmill in Scarborough

A Historic Landmark

The Windmill in Scarborough is a Grade II listed building originally constructed in 1784. This 230-year-old windmill has been fully restored to offer accommodation within the original round structure and surrounding cottages. Guests staying in the balcony suite have access to a private roof terrace with 360-degree views across Scarborough and the sea.

Rooms and Accommodations

The windmill offers a selection of king studios, deluxe king or twin rooms, and self-catering cottages that sleep up to five guests. The Madelaine suite inside the windmill itself spans two floors with a large sitting room, kitchen, and an en-suite bedroom with a walk-in shower. Each room includes a flat-screen TV, hairdryer, radio alarm clock, and ironing board, with tea and coffee making facilities provided.

Location and Accessibility

The windmill sits in a quiet cul-de-sac less than a 5-minute walk from Scarborough town centre and the railway station. Scarborough Castle is a 19-minute walk away, while Peasholm Park and The Spa Scarborough are within a mile. The South Bay seafront and the Stephen Joseph Theatre are also within easy walking distance.

Family-Friendly Offerings

Two self-catering cottages on site are designed to accommodate families, with spacious bedrooms and a well-equipped kitchen. The property also has a three-bedroom cottage that sleeps up to five guests and includes a large living area. Kids' meals and special diet menus are available upon request, and the courtyard offers a secure, quiet space for children to play.

Breakfast and Guest Services

A home-cooked breakfast is served each morning to guests who book on a bed and breakfast basis, with options including full English and continental items. The shared lounge provides a space for guests to relax, and free limited parking is available in the courtyard.
