Facts at A Glance

This 18th Century, Grade II, listed Windmill is located minutes from the centre of town Scarborough.

The site has had a windmill for around 400 years and the present structure dates from 1794 when Thomas Robinson was given the authority to build a new mill. The mill stopped grinding corn in 1927 and although over the years was used as a bakery and then for storage, the property gradually fell into disrepair. Saved from a developer who wanted to knock it down for a block of flats in 1985, it was renovated and turned into a hotel. The current owners, Angela and Roland, bought the property in 1997 and have replaced the dome, sails, built another suite on two floors within the tower as well as undertaking numerous other restoration tasks.

The balcony suite, is accessed by external steps winding round one side of The Windmill. The third floor comprises the bedroom with a king-size divan bed and en-suite shower facilities and on the floor above is a compact lounge/dining area and small kitchen. The balcony provides 360 degree views over Scarborough, ranging from Olivers Mount, The Castle, the North Bay and more.
