  Probably our 10th stay at The Bay, so we know it well.

  Stayed for a week, with our dog. The addition of a shop this year was very welcome and over due. Reasonably priced and had everything you might need, although Tesco and Sainsbury’s do deliver to the site. Great for dogs as the beach is dog friendly and the site has lots of poo bins. The site is always clean and communal gardens well maintained. Parking is good and the bonus of this cottage was that it was right outside the front of the property on sleepers. We’ve stayed in different properties every visit and this was by far the nicest. We loved the bifold doors onto a small patio area with a table and 4 chairs. We used the BBQ and although brought our own charcoal etc- this had been provided which was a lovely bonus. The extra toilet downstairs was a bonus too. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of pans, baking trays, utensils and crockery, unlike some of the other properties we’ve stayed in. This one even provided oven gloves and tea towels. The large fridge freezer was fabulous but I’m still baffled by the lack of a cupboard to store the rest of your food - but every property at The Bay is like it. The cottage was also the cleanest we’ve stayed at on the site. The cottage is decorated in a modern style. The king size bed in the master bedroom was comfortable but for someone with a bad back a little too soft. Full-size single beds in the twin bedroom is great when it’s an all adult party. The bed linens were all crisp white and the towels were huge and soft and lovely. Best cottage, would highly recommend, would definitely stay again, only down side is the huge price increase for next year, but I guess you have to pay for the extra comforts.

  We loved Buck Place and stay every year.

  It’s in a lovely area, with great dog friendly beaches and pubs. The on-site pub has had some negative reviews, but we gave it another try and was surprisingly pleased, best it’s been since pre Covid. It’s a Shame the on-site pizza place is never open, we wish it would go back to a cafe. The on-site shop has everything you need at reasonable prices. We didn’t have a free swim or use the gym this time. The cottage is a great place to kick back and relax, which is what this week was all about. The cottage is so lovely, comfortable and clean, it’s a great place to rewind and chill out. Not sure why the sofa was making mechanical groaning noises, but it still seemed comfortable!!! Maybe it’s a sofa bed? It wasn’t really BBQ weather so we didn’t use it on this occasion. The patio table and chairs are wooden and the chairs aren’t the most comfortable for relaxing on, they probably need an upgrade(although perfectly stable- just uncomfortable). So we sat several times reading in the master bedroom on two lovely clear plastic chairs with the Juliet Balcony doors open soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the breeze. There was a little welcome pack, with tea, coffee, milk and biscuits and a tennis ball for the dog, those are the simple things that make you smile when you arrive so another big thank you to Sharon and Pete. We’ll be booking again.

  January stay Good Points-what a lovely house, very spacious, comfortable, well maintained, had everything you need for self catering, plenty of seating, storage, good location 10 minutes from bedale, lots of parking space, welcoming and helpful hosts.

  Particularly helpful when the lights tripped out one day. Lovely garden and nice views. Bad points-INDOOR POOL NOT HEATED IN WINTER, this was a massive disappointment for us as this had been one of the reasons we booked this particular house. We didn’t notice this in the listing although it is mentioned in the finer details. Our own fault for not checking the listing thoroughly but it should be more clear as the pool is mentioned several times. Main bedroom curtains are very light and thin and let in too much light, particularly the patio door as it’s near to the bed. Twin room beds were very squeaky. There are two internal doors connecting to the hosts property, one in the kitchen and one in the twin bedroom these were locked from the owners side and not an issue for us as a group of adults but may make some uncomfortable. Overall we really liked the property and would return another time of year when the pool is useable.

  I gave this 5 stars because there was very little that could be added to make the stay even more perfect for us.

  I loved where it was positioned on the holiday park - it was so quiet and peaceful. We loved watching the rabbits in the morning and evenings. I stayed with my 19 year old daughter, and 14 year old son (who turned 15 whilst we were there). It was perfect for us because we didn't want to use the park facilities particulaly, only the fish and chip takeaway, the ice-cream place and the Nisa mini-supermarket. We thought it could benefit from some big spaghetti bowls and some side lamps. Apart from that it was perfect. A big and comfy seating area. Comfy beds. Generous supply of tea and coffee. Soft bedding. Car parking right next to caravan. And great to be between Filey and Scarborough, so we could visit our family and friends! If you have younger children I would highly recommend the park facilities, of play ground, swimming pool and much more!

  House was comfortable and well presented.

  Beds were very comfortable. Lots of storage space. Feel that the kitchen lacked some basic equipment such as a potato peeler. Having no cleaning spray, cleaning cloths etc, spare black bags meant we had to buy some. Spa Bath didn't work. Having the conservatory was a nice place to sit what ever the weather and the children enjoyed the games room, having a shower room off of there was useful. Large fridge freezer and second freezer. Swimming pool gets booked up so book early. Play areas good. Need to bring your own teatowels, oven gloves, cleaning clothes, dishwasher tablets and washing powder. Some small bottles of shower gel etc provided. It was a very relaxing and quiet place to stay, would recommend.
