Great price and location but don't expect luxuries…read more You have to be willing to 'put up with' the place, which appeared ageing and not very spacious or comfortable. I could hear the people in the next room breathing. If you're after a place to crash for a short period of time, this place is adequate. I wouldn't recommend an extended stay.

The Waves has become my new measure of all B&Bs. "Well, it's okay ... but it's not The Waves ... "…read more Run by writer and juke box enthusiast Kevern Stafford and his wife Ruth, The Waves is up on the cliffs above the south end of Scarborough - one of the nicest areas of town, from what we saw. It's a beautiful house, stylishly decorated, spotlessly clean, and really just a lovely place to be. There's a funky guest sitting room with a juke box and a record player, breakfast is served on locally handmade furniture and pottery ... and wait till you see the breakfast menu. There's about a dozen choices, ranging from a full fry up made with local, quality produce to vegan kedgeree. Or maybe you fancy kippers, or a superfoods smoothie ... or soft boiled eggs with marmite soldiers? And then there's the wifi, and the helpful information on good pubs and restaurants, and just Kevern's overall effort to make your stay as pleasant and comfortable as he can. All this for a reasonable price - our room was only £64. Really, I'd move in if I could. Go there!

We (my 6 year old daughter, my husband and myself) had the pleasure of staying at the Windmill…read moreHotel in August 2006. We really enjoyed our stay there. The hotel consists of a large Windmill which has been there for years, where guests can actually stay, then rooms alongside the courtyard to the front of the windmill entrance. We had booked a family room, which was basically two rooms knocked into one, which did cost us a bit more, but my daughter was very pleased to have her own room (and en suire bathroom!) I found the rooms to be very basic but clean and just what we were expecting. We were staying bed and breakfast, though I think they did evening meals as well. Breakfast is served in the dining room which is inside the Windmill itself. The owner is a VERY keen toy collector, and these are displayed all around the room. It was fascinating to see all of the toys from times past, and my daughter loved that. There was also a little area in reception with toys for the children staying at the hotel to play with, which i found useful on an evening when we got back. The breakfasts were really good, excellent portions and we were made to feel really welcome. I would recommend the Windmill to others.
