The rooms are spotlessly clean and breakfast was really great. All the ingredients were top quality. Best coffee ever too! You can see the owners really care and work hard. Everything has a high quality from the bedding to the crockery. We only had the chance of one night away but we would definitely come again hopefully for a few more nights.

Our stay at The Waves was excellent, the host's were very friendly and could not be more accomodating, they ensured we had everything we needed to make our stay as comfortable as possible. the room was always spotlessly clean, the bed was very comfortable and made every day as part of the room service provided by Kerry. the food was top quality, plentiful and cooked to a high standard by James. both James and Kerry ensured our days was set up from the start. The location was within a few minutes walk to the Beach and James and Kerry provided an information pack which was very informative of places to visit, a selection of were to eat to Local Taxi firms available. parking is on street parking and a parking pass is provided on arrival. we will deffinatly stay at The Waves again and do not hesitate in recomending The Waves for a quality stay in Scarborough.

We enjoyed a very comfortable stay at The Waves. Chris and Emma are friendly welcoming hosts. Convenient for the SPA, town centre and sea front with plenty of eating places. Our room (5) has a super comfy bed, seating area with a sofa and a good shower with plenty of hot water. Breakfast was excellent. Would definitely stay again.

stayed here for a 3 night break,expecting it to be nearer to the seafront than what it is.the host was welcoming but only saw at breakfast time.room was smaller than expected with a narrow window,1 chair,double bed,shower cubicle and separate basin and toilet.shower gel,handwash and shampoo supplied.good sized bath sheets and smaller hand towels x2 of each.pillows were too flat for my liking.kettle and the usual sachets supplied and replenished every day plus 2 pack biscuit,very squeaky single wardrobe door.shower basic and couldn,t really get a good steady temperature with it.on top floor,2 flights of stairs of 38 steps in total.decent choice for breakfast although we were missing cereal on the first day,only 1 sausage,1 whole plum tomato,ramekin of beans,2 bacon,choice of egg,about 3/4 mushrooms halved .1st day we got toast on breakfast plate with cooked breakfast,if you ask for a variety of toast you get 6 halves in total in toast rack as opposed to 2 halves each, lovely homemade preserves.menu not clear as we ordered 1 item from the cold selection each but noticed a couple had more.too far to find a pub serving food,took us an hour to find one.a little over priced for what we got,parking on street and you do get a free parking permit but both sides full of cars,

Such a gem! Stayed for the weekend, a lovely b&b, clean, modern, home from home and hosts could not be more helpful. Good location & the breakfast was delicious. Really happy we found this place and if we come back to Scarborough this will be the place we stay!

Lovely bed and breakfast located in a quiet area near South Cliff c15 minutes walk into town. Stayed in a quirky single room that did not have an en suite but a dedicated bathroom down a small flight of stairs - this I was made aware of when booking and it was spoken about again on check in. The room itself was well organised with a sink, smart TV tea/coffee, biscuits etc. spotlessly clean. Breakfast was spot on, plentiful, really good ingredients. Parked outside the property using a permit provided by the owner. The only thing stopping me putting 5 stars as the overall grading is the bathroom for room 4. It is an inconvenience no pun intended. Finally, the owners are super welcoming both on the phone and face to face. Will 100% book again but in an en suite room.
