Boasting excellent guest reviews and ratings and a Visit England 5 Star accreditation, The Helaina enjoys a cliff top position which affords spectacular coastal views along the North Bay Beach and Scarborough Castle.

Owners Tom and Jill Wilson have operated the business for more than 20 years but have decided to sell in order to focus on their hobbies and interests.

They said: “After 21 wonderful years at The Helaina, we are ready to have more time to pursue our interests of surfing, hiking, mountain biking, art and travel.

"We take great pride in having created a beautiful B&B with both a strong repeat business and a healthy flow of many new guests.”

Mark Worley, Director – Hotels at Christie & Co, added: “If anyone is considering purchasing a bed and breakfast business, then The Helaina is surely a perfect choice.

"It is beautifully presented with great reviews and reputation and is set in an amazing location, ideal for tourism and leisure trade.

“There is substantial living accommodation included and the business posts substantial profits derived from just eight months’ trade, allowing the owners four months holiday every year.”

The Helaina is on the market with an asking price of £635,000 for the freehold.
