Guests say
Tigh Na Mara is a charming cottage in a peaceful location with stunning sea views and direct access to the beach. Guests praise the spacious garden, ideal for dogs, and the well-equipped kitchen. The property is family and pet friendly, with a lovely sun room and thoughtful touches on arrival. Some mention the steep stairs, sloping ceilings upstairs, and areas needing a little TLC, but overall, visitors enjoy a comfortable and relaxing stay and are keen to return.
Most guests found the property clean and comfortable, though a few noted it could benefit from a deeper spring clean and fresher bedding.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, beautiful sea views, and proximity to the beach and walking routes.
Guests generally found the cottage comfortable, especially the upstairs bed and sun room. However, some found the downstairs beds too soft and the upstairs bedroom cramped due to sloping ceilings.
The cottage is well equipped and dog friendly, with a large enclosed garden. Some minor maintenance issues were noted, such as leaking gutters and a lack of certain kitchen items.
Guests appreciated the welcome gifts of tea, coffee, milk, and biscuits on arrival, though these are not guaranteed for every stay.

Sat in a picturesque cove in the centre of Filey Bay and overlooking miles of golden sands, this cottage provides wonderful sea views and is just perfect for those looking for a romantic seaside break, family beach holiday or a relaxing bird watching getaway. There are also miles of cycle routes and footpaths to explore too!
Step inside and be greeted by a beautiful beach scene, behind which is the large living/dining room which offers stunning sea views. The settees are well placed to enjoy some warmth from the electric fire during the cooler months, but also provide the perfect spot to sit with a coffee or glass of wine and just enjoy the beautiful view. One of the settee’s doubles as a sofa bed providing extra sleeping for two. The dining table sits to the rear of the room and provides plenty of seating for eight. The kitchen is bright and airy and also offers sea views. With lots of cupboards to store your holiday essentials and plenty of work top space, the chef in the family will enjoy rustling up a family breakfast or a delicious home cooked evening meal. A large archway takes you through into a sun room with additional comfortable seating and more sea views! On the ground floor can also be found a twin and double bedroom, along with the house bathroom.
Take the glass panelled staircase to the first floor and here you will find the master double bedroom. The vaulted ceiling and low doorway leading through to an en-suite bathroom really add to its character. Fold open the Velux window and step outside onto a small hidden balcony; the sea view from up here is simply stunning. A perfect spot for an early morning coffee! To the front of the property is a pretty cottage garden with borders packed with summer flowers. To the rear is an enclosed, dog-friendly garden with neatly trimmed lawn and seating, perfect for an al fresco breakfast.
A short walk down the hill is where you will find a quaint dog-friendly café and the beach is just beyond. A short drive away is the pretty seaside town of Filey and the harbour port of Scarborough. Both towns offer lovely walks along promenades and a plethora of seaside attractions, tea rooms, restaurants and shops. A visit to rspb Bempton Cliffs is a must whilst staying at Tigh Na Mara, or why not travel a little further inland and enjoy the rolling countryside of the Yorkshire Wolds. This holiday cottage will leave you with ever lasting memories and is the ideal base for your seaside holiday.

Tigh Na Mara is in a beautiful quiet area, perfectly located for walks to the beach, to Filey and cliff top walks. It's position and views are just lovely especially from the upstairs balcony.Kitchen well equipped, upstairs bed very comfortable, but downstairs beds too soft for us. lovely sun room but there are some stone steps into garden that take some getting used to, garden big and safe for dog, but fence not too high if your dog likes to jump over You definitely need a car to get shopping as nothing in easy walking distance.Would I recommend Tigh Na Mara, Yes definitely :-)

Having stayed here 13yrs ago, we found the bungalow nicely updated in most areas. It is very roomy and nicely furnished. Our 13yr old Granddaughter bagged the upstairs bedroom and loved it.. The staircase is beautiful and we were fascinated with the Velux balcony.We were blessed with beautiful weather and as two of us had mobility problems, we mostly stayed in the sun room "chilling out" (and saving petrol)The only downside was the bedding, which didn't smell fresh. We like fresh white cotton, and the duvets on the single beds were a tad small and kept sliding off.Otherwise a beautiful bungalow in an ideal situation. Well recommended.
