What guests think

Across reviews, The Windmill stands out for spotless, well equipped cottages in a quiet yet central Scarborough location, with very comfortable beds, thoughtful decor, and warm, helpful hosts who make stays feel easy, homely, and well supported.

Guests highlight spacious layouts with full kitchens, quality furnishings, and features like en suite bedrooms and occasional four poster beds. It’s an easy walk to Scarborough’s town centre, bays, castle and pubs, though one guest found the street tricky to locate on arrival. A few practical wishes include a twin option in a smaller room and better space for drying towels or swimwear. Expect a relaxed self-catering base near Scarborough’s sights.

Well set out cottages with everything you need to self cater. Loads of room in all bedrooms and plenty cupboard space. Lovely to see the windmill lit up on an evening

We are two couples who come to Scarborough to meet friends for New Year. It was not easy at short notice to find accommodation. Then I stumbled on The Windmill. Such a reasonable price and sounded OK. When we arrived we were astonished. Such good taste in decor in Britain is quite rare. The four poster bed and walk in shower were highlights but the kitchen and living room area were so well equipped and comfortable. We all loved the nice firm beds and enough pillows to build a wall with!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Windmill stay. Host David and staff could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The two bedrooms are large and well fitted, even a four poster bed, great ensuites for each room with excellent showers. Comfortable lounge with dining area and good full kitchen. An easy stroll to restaurants and all that Scarborough has to offer also hub for visiting surrounding towns, Whitby, Bridlington and Yorkshire Moors Railway. good public transport

A thoroughly enjoyable weekend break. We stopped in cottage 2 and it was immaculate. Everything was laid out perfectly and suited our needs. The location was very quiet and was a 10 minute walk to the beach. The owners were very welcoming and knowledgeable about the surrounding areas. We are looking forward to going back later in the year.

Our stay at the windmill was an absolute delight. The new owners were very helpful and down to earth. We also had the pleasure of meeting their new daughters who happily played with my own. Our cottage was getting decorated to a very high standard-my favourite feature was the huge mirrored bed that me and my daughter shared! Heaven! Location was good, close to town and maybe a ten minute walk to the beach. I wouldn't change a thing and will definitely be going back :)

The two bedroom cottage is well equipped and comfortable. The bed is incredibly comfortable and I loved the summer weight duvet. The cottages are also nice and cool in summer. It's an easy short walk to the town centre but really peaceful. The only improvement would be twin beds instead of a double in the smaller room to help families like ours. With no outside space or porch, we found it hard to dry towels after showering and our swimming gear, so a full size clothes airer would really help.

The location of The Windmill is great within Scarborough (although a little difficult to find the actual street on arrival). Our cottage was beautifully decorated and has clearly been well thought out (even small things like mirror placement near to plug points for getting ready). My 9 year old was living his best life with a double bed and TV in his room! Nicola and Andy were both really friendly and helpful and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
