  Lovely cottage and yes I would book again but there could be a few improvements that could be done to make things even better especially if you were paying the higher prices in the high summer season.

  The shower head is positioned wrong,it really needs a shower curtain as you end up with water all over the floor as the screen isnt wide enough. There was a clump of hair in the corner of the shower but general cleanliness was ok,the stains ect that other review's mention in the bathroom were not there. The hallway and lounge area floors have yellow stains on them. The bushes infront of the kitchen window need cutting back as you cant see out it. The creaky bedroom floor that someone mentioned in 2019 is still there but at the end of the day it didnt bother me that much and its a holiday cottage thats used week in week out and this wouldnt be an easy task to do. Yes it needs a bit of TLC as I wouldnt pay more than what I did and when some pay over a £1000 you would expect things to be top notch but for what I paid it was fine. The bed and pillows are so comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked with utensils ect Could do with some better and more modern outdoor furniture. Yes parking is a bit of a problem especially if you go in very busy periods but there are other areas available. The directions are wrong too its the 2nd turning on the right not the 1st and there isnt a ground floor bedroom. I would use this cottage again as there was just the 2 of us,maybe it would be a bit small for 4 adults but for a young family ideal. Local eateries I can recommend are The Honey Pot but must book,huge portions and nice friendly staff and loads of choice. Thirty in Filey is a must for brunch,breakfast or lunch and the Bucaneer(Smugglers Cove) in Filey is a great place for dinner but again must book. All in all we had a great stay and Im a regular at The Bay and this was £200 cheaper than booking a cottage directly with the resort.

  Arrived to our holiday at 4pm , check in from 3 .

  Cleaners still there and not apologetic, just asked us to wait in our car while they finished. We arrived to find the place in anything but clean state ... dishwasher full of mould , no welcome pack , generally dirty/dusty and the floor still dirty which we then spent the first evening of our holiday cleaning. The cottage is ready for a deep clean, carpets cleaning etc and refurbishment of things like the bathroom floor which is coming up. We did not want to spoil our holiday with 2 young children so we cleaned it as best we could and enjoyed the rest of our holiday and on arrival back home I flagged up our complaint with sykes who have been less less helpful at saying they haven't been able to get in touch with the owner and as we didn't flag it up at the time there is nothing they can do. Very disappointed with sykes and with the cleanliness of the cottage . We would not stay in this cottage again and will not be booking through sykes again.

  I stay at The Bay at least twice a year for at least a week each time, and have done for many years.

  I’ve stayed in many properties there, but of all my stays this was probably my favourite. The property is lovely, warm, and cosy but spacious. It has good WiFi (key when working away) and smart TVs in each room. Its location is great, right in the middle of the beach and the park facilities. The property has its own parking space at the front of the house, great when you’re staying a while or just like to pack a lot! The property had a small Christmas tree and some small festive touches, and came with a lovely welcome gift pack, a really beautiful touch. I can think of no cons, one recommendation may be to install a baby gate at the bottom of the stairs (I’ve had this in previous properties and it’s great to stop kids and dogs running up and down the stairs) but wasn’t essential. Overall a really lovely stay, I’d highly recommend and will most likely look to stay there again on one of our return trips.

  This cottage was clean and tidy, conveniently placed on at the Bay complex.

  Ideal for touring the area. Very dog friendly and the site has an on site pub and swimming pool. Easy enough access to the beach from the site. The creaking floor upstairs and up the stairs does need addressing though manageable for a weekend break but try being quiet when you need the loo in the night!! or if you go to bed later than anyone else. Three bulbs need replacing in the kitchen area. Didn't find any information pack or details of things to do in the area however as regular visitors to the area we were fine. We recommend Triccolos is Scarborough (not sure of the spelling) with their early bird menu and also The Honey Pot Inn, huge Yorkshire portions and lovely. That is at Speeton. The cottage was clean and tidy but would benefit from some TLC. Parking is first come and first served and we were never lucky so had to park a bit away so bear that in mind if you would like a definite spot.

  The cottage was larger than expected, spotlessly clean and provided so many extras e.

  G. Washer and dishwasher tablets, every piece of cutlery and dishes you could ever need, plastic food bags, toy box, books and games. Pleasant and quiet location, centrally located for all the facilities and a pleasant stroll to the beach. A bit hilly coming back up. This is dog friendly, which appeals to most people. We had to roll up the furry rug as it did smell of doggie, but I knew that was a possibility before booking and put up with it. The site was efficiently run and there was always somebody cleaning, tending the gardens or washing windows. The restaurant was extremely busy causing waits of over an hour for food. Pool good for swimming and a small, warm pool for the young children. It would have been nice to see some recycling options for waste. None of these minor negatives would deter me from returning, it is a wonderful, safe and relaxing location in quality homes.
