I have just returned from the Windmill after four days with my wife and little boy. We usually go for self catering lodges, so this was a bit of a departure. The accommodation itself is very comfortable (we stayed in the flat) and once you shut the door it is easy to imagine you are out in the middle of... more

We have stayed here on a number of occasions, and have always had a pleasant stay. We were made to feel welcome and our business was appreciated. The rooms, food and facilities are all more then adequate and very good for the price. The website gives an honest and accurate impression of the hotel, so make sure you have a... more

Though only for two days, I stayed in the 'top flat' in mid 2006 and was delighted by the balcony that wraps around the entire windmill. It offers superb views of Scarborough and as far as I know, this is the only hotel of its type in Britain. This tripadvisor page should also have some more photos so that visitors... more

This establishment is all about the proprietor, Roland, and what he wants. He certainly doesn't come across as frivolous or jolly, so don't expect a warm welcome. On arrival you will have to pay for your stay as, apparently he is too busy to take your money after breakfast on your day of departure. By the way, breakfast ends at... more

This was a short break booked for March 2007. When we saw the hotel website, we thought this would be a short break with a difference. We stayed in the upper floor flat within the windmill itself. On arrival, we were met by the owner who was very pleasant and check in was a very smooth transaction. The flat is... more

My partner and I stayed in the upstairs flat in the windmill itself for 2 nights in March 2007. The windmill is located quite centrally within Scarborough. The upstairs flat was quite compact but the views over the rooftops and towards the harbour were great. There are dehumidifiers in the property which we were encouraged to keep switched on in... more

The Windmill Hotel, Scarborough, North Yorkshire. Reviewer: frances_d123, County Durham, England We were somewhat worried after reading earlier reviews, but we found this hotel to be clean, tidy and the food good. The owner was as pleasant and friendly as many others we have encountered on our travels. Yes the room was small, especially for a four-poster bed, but for... more

The first two reviews are somewhat unfair - ok, it's basic, but you get what you pay for. We paid just £30 a night - the room was cheap and cheerful, but the breakfast more than made up for it - an extensive menu all cooked freshly for you. Good vegetarian choices too, which you don't get in more up... more

My wife, 7 yr old son and I stayed in the windmill for 2 nights in August 2003. The owner was possibly one of the unfriendliest people we have ever met. He demanded cash up front, which we thought was unusual. We had a 4 poster bed in the main room and that was about it, there was little space... more
