  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.

  This is the worse property that I have booked through you.

  First impression was the patio door which looked dirty but this is actually inside the glass. All carpets are badly stained and dirty. The dining table wobbles and the dining chairs are dirty in the ridges at the back. Lounge furniture is stained. I had to dust the window sill and bottom of the window in the living room as was filthy with dust, dirt and dog hair. I had to set up the TV as it only had BBC channels, I also had to fill the dishwasher with rinse aid and salt. The fridge freezes the products in the actual fridge area. The extractor fan is unsuitable for use as when put on it makes a loud racket. The kitchen is very badly equipped with crockery and cooking utensils, could not use the microwave as nothing to use to heat things up in. No tea towel, dishcloth, dusters, dustpan etc. One of the under cupboard bulbs isn't working. There was black dog hair on the landing carpet when we entered the house and was getting onto our clothes and towels. The standard of cleaning in general is very poor. Bath panel is cracked, the rubber seal is filthy. The mattress on the king-size bed is very badly stained. The whole house needs a deep clean, redecorated and new carpets, fridge, extractor hood, bath panel, king-size bed and mattress. No dog bed or blankets as advertised. The Wi-Fi is very weak and slow. The TV remote does not work properly. We will not be using this property again.

  Love The Bay, Filey; great resort and beach.

  This cottage was nice, good location, nice homely touches and comfortable. Yes it does have a bit of wear and tear but that is to be expected and nothing that bad (although the mould around the bath does need attending to). It is unfortunately let down by three things though: one it was very dirty! The owner needs to get a new cleaner. We arrived at 2.30 at the same time as we saw the cleaner go in, the cleaner then left 15 mins later! Not enough time to do a proper clean and it showed! Bathroom was filthy; hair, dirt on bath and sink, I had to clean it. Thick dust everywhere on tvs, etc. Floors still had bits everywhere so wasn’t hoovered properly. I think only the kitchen surfaces had been cleaned (other areas in kitchen were dirty) and the beds made. Second, Wi-Fi is terrible, very intermittent, tried to reset the router several times made no difference, wouldn’t work on my phone at all, couldn’t stream Netflix or BBC iPlayer on tv (plus tv signal wasn’t great); lastly, it needs better outside seating as the bench is very uncomfortable. We had a lovely stay though, weather was great, walks on the beach were fab!

  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.

  This is my fifth stay at The Bay and my first at Sleeper Cottage.

  Nice cottage and the location was good with a large shared grassed area out back. The downsides to this property was the cleanliness. The first thing we noticed on entry to the property was the smell, a burnt smell hits you as soon as you walk in. I spent the first evening vacuuming the floors and washing pots. I’d ordered a shop to be delivered before I realised it didn’t have a proper fridge freezer just an under cupboard fridge and a small freezer shelf. Thankfully Asda took the frozen items back. The rest of the kitchen pots and pans were good and plentiful. The outdoor furniture was old and dirty and looking around at all the other properties all had much better outdoor dining facilities. The weather was so nice but we had to use our own beech chairs to sit outside. The window in the smaller bedroom was broken and in the heat was quite uncomfortable to sleep in there without it opening.
