4-star Victorian Bed & Breakfast with Award-Winning Breakfast in Scarborough

Accommodations

The Waves offers 7 individually decorated rooms with luxury beds and state-of-the-art Smart TVs. Each room features a private bathroom with walk-in shower, and certain rooms include a freestanding bath. Guests can pre-book cheese and meat slates for in-room dining through the dedicated hosts.

Dining

The award-winning Full English breakfast uses locally sourced meats from nearby farms and homemade jams and preserves. Breakfast is pre-ordered the night before and served at a reserved table with the guest's name. The dining area houses a unique 1970s jukebox loaded with classic songs.

Location & Surroundings

Scarborough Beach is an 8-minute walk from the hotel, and The Spa Scarborough is less than 1 km away. Peasholm Park and Dalby Forest are within easy reach, and the hotel is near the cliff lift to Scarborough Spa. Public transport links and the town centre are a short walk from the property.

Services & Amenities

Free on-street parking with a permit provided at check-in is available for guests. Daily housekeeping and a shared lounge with books and games are part of the stay. The adults-only policy ensures a quiet environment for couples and solo travellers.

Sustainability & Sourcing

The hotel sources breakfast meats from nearby farms, reducing food miles and supporting local producers. Homemade preserves are made in-house, and the menu uses seasonal ingredients. This sustainable dining approach is a core part of the guest experience.
