“Lovely property on a gorgeous complex!”

The house was very homely, comfortable & well equipped. The only down side is although the house allowed dogs the garden at the back is communal so no fencing meaning our dog had to be put on a lead to be let out! That said it wouldn't put us off coming again it just would of been better if this was explained in the details. Throughly enjoyed our break!!!!!

Jacqui August 2024

“Excellent cottage and resort.”

Only downside was quite a number of flies in the property which I think was purely weather related. It may be beneficial to leave a can of fly spray for customer use.

“We had a lovely stay at Bayside Cottage.”

It was very clean and spacious, with everything we needed for a one week stay. The information pack was well stocked and helpful. The only comment we have is the doors to the main bedroom and walk in wardrobe seem not to be hung straight so they catch at the top, making them difficult to close. This did not take away from the holiday at all however, just wanted to let you know.

“Lovely cottage, our second time visiting.”

Like the new patio set!

“We have had problems with the key safe.”

Had to ask reception for help. Its very rusty. On departure the key safe would not lock. We left the key at reception.

Barbara May 2024

“Lovely place to stay: particularly pleased to have the roku app on the tv as we enjoyed being able to watch streaming services when the weather was poor.”

We had a very chilled & comfortable stay. Thank you!

- Barbara, May 2024
Marnie May 2024

“Loved the property and its situation in The Bay.”

The only downside for me was the double bed, it wasn’t comfortable. The quality of the bed linen and quilt were not good. We are at the moment in another cottage on the site and the bed and linen are superior and it makes such a difference.

- Marnie, May 2024
David May 2024

“Really lovely property in a good location.”

There was everything that you could possibly need for a good stay. Only minor issue was the shower, in the fact that the screen could do with being longer to save wetting the floor.

- David, May 2024
Elaine May 2024

“Our 2nd visit to this cottage, very enjoyable.”

Cosy and warm, plenty of kitchen utensils . The shower still leaks over the floor. There are no recycling facilities apart from glass, this is down to The Bay Village management. I had to take all ours home to recycle. How many people would bother to do that?

- Elaine, May 2024
Sharon April 2024

“Beautiful cottage with everything we needed for a perfect stay.”

The themed seaside decor throughout is just adorable, love the blinds! We were so impressed with the little lights at the top and bottom of the stairs we bought some for our own home. Genius! We'll definitely book again, thank you

“Fantastic property and location.”

My only recommendation would be soft closing toilet seat and toilet brush.

Karen February 2024

“We absolutely loved our week at Bayside cottage.”

It was rainy and wet for most of the week however that didn't stop us exploring Filey, Filey Brigg and Flamborough Head. The cottage was gorgeous, lovely and warm and a fantastic base to snuggle down in and listen to the rain and the seagulls :). We had everything we could need and the decor with the sea theme throughout is stunning. I was even lucky enough to be invited by the Filey open water sea swimmers to join them for an evening sea swim in the dark at Cobble landing. Thank you for a superb base for our holiday. Would highly recommend it.

- Karen, February 2024
Graham February 2024

“A fantastic stay in this lovely cottage.”

Very home from home, lovely decor and very comfortable. Great the children had a TV in their room a real holiday treat for them. Had everything we needed, great location and we will definitely be booking here again.

Ian October 2023

“Just back from a great week's stay at Bayside Cottage.”

The property was exactly as described and we couldn't have asked for a better base for the stay. Incredibly clean, well maintained and everything you could ask for in a holiday rental. The Bay is a great location and ideal for both the beach, Filey or exploring further afield. It's great that everywhere is so dog friendly too!! The owner was super responsive and we'd 100% recommend a stay at Bayside Cottage! Thanks for sharing your superb property with us...we'll definitely be back

Edward September 2023

“The cottage was comfortable and reasonable clean.”

Beds was clean and comfortable slept very well. Plenty of crockery and utensils and oven ware. There was a couple minor issues the front door key lock was sticking and awkward to open and lock. Also I would suggest a minor issue with the shower head needs replacing as it is a little rusty. But overall very nice . The site is very clean lovely walk to the beach and along the beach to Filey. Would definitely recommend The Bay.

- Edward, September 2023
Elaine September 2023

“Nice comfy and light property.”

The front door is almost impossible to open so we had to use the back doors. Bit of a pain having to walk over the wet grass all the time and having our shoes cluttering up the room , instead of having them in the hallway. Few things missing...oven gloves and toilet brush. The cleaning company use very perfumed washing powder, not good for me as I have a perfume intolerance and the smell gave me a runny nose all week. However, apart from these niggles, we enjoyed our stay.

- Elaine, September 2023

Ideal location Will stay again. 2nd time this year

- Judy, September 2023
Margaret September 2023

“We had a lovely stay and only wish we could have stayed longer.”

Great property. Beyond our expectation. Would have loved a coffee machine perhaps the only thing missing that would have improved our experience but otherwise marvellous.

- Margaret, September 2023
Caroline August 2023

“Lovely, clean cottage.”

It had most of the things you need. There was no tumble dryer though and it is listed as having a washer\dryer. There was an airer but it was flimsy and not up to drying wet towels etc. The cottage was clean and the garden outside is great for the kids to play in. It would be nice if there was just a couple of tea bags and pint of milk for when you arrive rather than having to go out and get these straight away. Apart from that, it was a lovely stay, the beaches nearby in Filey and Bridlington were beautiful and we would definitely come back to this area again.

- Caroline, August 2023
Melanie July 2023

“A foldaway clothes airer would have been useful for the small items we washed and the swimming towels.”

- Melanie, July 2023
Anthony July 2023

“This property was a great base for exploring the area and the site had facilities & a safe setting to make it ideal for our family holiday.”

It has the potential to be a 4 star holiday. Unfortunately, the cleanliness and some general maintenance at the property are letting it down. As well as dusty skirting boards & cobwebs in corners, we also were disappointed to find a drinks can under one of the twin beds, a crisp packet under the main bed and crumbs in the cutlery drawer. The washing machine cupboard front was broken & also something under the fridge kept dropping off. Such a shame as like I said, the potential is there for this to be a quality property. Little touches like putting a larger bed into the main bedroom & upgrading the crockery would make a difference too. That said, overall we enjoyed our stay and would possibly visit The Bay again if in the area but perhaps would look for alternative properties

Valerie June 2023

“The house was immaculate and beds very comfortable, the area was clean and no litter about, reception staff very helpful and friendly.”

The only problem we had was there was no step when stepping out of patio doors at back of house but discussed this with owner. we would recommend this house

- Valerie, June 2023
Judy May 2023

“Ideal location perfect cottage very clean and homely.”

Will stay again

Martin May 2023

“Great. The heating bangs and pops when it comes on.”

Not much you can do about that. There’s a spider living under the corner kitchen wall cupboard. An oven glove would be handy.

- Martin, May 2023
Joan May 2023

“Only problem for me parking.”

It states 2 parking spaces. This is in a general parking bay I was expecting parking at the cottage. No guarantee where you can park.

- Joan, May 2023
Caroline April 2023

“Stay was ok.”

The house it self was ok, nice welcome pack but overall cleanliness wasn’t great, cobwebs and dirty floors and dog hairs, I appreciate it’s a dog friendly place but when you’ve got a young child Exploring the floors need to be spotless.. As a family we wouldn't choose to stay at the Bay again! The pool was overcrowded and busy and having a young child 1yr, was a very overwhelming experience for him. Children were climbing all over the amusement games and just left to their own devices so for this, this isn’t the environment for us. The site was very loud at night and the communal garden was a football pitch for anyone and everyone until 10pm some evenings.

- Caroline, April 2023
Richard February 2023

“Great cottage in a lovely location.”

The swimming pool was a massive plus for us. The beach superb. Lovely little break.

- Richard, February 2023
Scott January 2023

“Bayside Cottage has to be the nicest Sykes house that we've let.”

It was so comfortable and relaxing. The bed was super comfortable, great power shower and the kitchen was well equipped with everything necessary. Lovely beach is only a few minutes walk. The only negative that we can mention is the weak dsl internet - far too slow for this day and age. But, regardless we would definitely return in a hearbeat.

- Scott, January 2023

Rebecca September 2022

“This is a great place to stay!”

The house is very clean and comfortable, and equipped with everything you need. The beach is only a 15minute walk from the house which was great! The house is also a short drive from Bempton Cliffs and Flamborough, which both offer lovely walks.

- Rebecca, September 2022

“Property was spacious and very clean, with a lovely open plan lay out, our grandchildren loved it, outdoor area was lovely for them to play safely too.”

- Corinne, August 2022
Jane August 2022

“It’s a nice clean cottage and comfy.”

However, it needs an area with a mirror near a socket for hair drying and more glass wear is needed in the kitchen.

“Lovely comfy cottage.”

- Cathy, July 2022
Gareth May 2022

“Had a great time have been before but the same things have not been addressed.”

Light in down stairs toilet not working and there was no toilet brush nor house brush. These are very minor and would not stop me going again, it was clean and very comfortable. The weather was perfect.

- Gareth, May 2022
Kate April 2022

“Great location near the dog walk.”

Loved the grass at the back nice open space. Was clean till my dogs ball went under the couch . I don't think they have been pulled out for a while. Noticed cutlery and crockery missing but on my fourth day I opened the dishwasher and it was all in there. Bed really comfy. Would stay there again

Adrian March 2022

“A lovely cottage, warm, clean and nicely decorated.”

The bed was very comfortable. We visit the Bay often and this is one of our nicest we have stayed at. would definitely stay again.

- Adrian, March 2022
Martin March 2022

“Great cottage, well equipped with all the home comforts.”

Welcome pack was a really nice touch and really appreciated after a long journey. Everything was fully operational and clean in the cottage. The only slight gripe with this location would be the lack of parking at the cottage, the nearest parking area was constantly full so we had to park opposite and up the road. A bit inconvenient but no real hardship. The. Bay is a lovely complex with a bonus of the leasure facilities and pool. The local pub was welcoming with good food, I would highly recommend the Eggs Florentine from the breakfast menu. The evening dinner menu selection is a bit limited, but the quality is good. They also allow dogs which is a bonus. All in all a great place to have a break away, we have already booked to go again but sadly Bayside cottage was booked so we have selected a similar facility.

- Martin, March 2022
Suzanne March 2022

“We would highly recommend the Bayside Cottage.”

It is spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated throughout with lovely furnishings. The whole cottage is bright and sunny with a fresh nautical theme throughout and lovely clean carpeting. Pristine condition. We felt we had lots of space to move around and WC facilities on both floors was handy. It was definitely home from home and we wanted for nothing. There was a kitchen welcome pack and a tea/coffee and biscuits welcome pack which was very much appreciated. There was a hand sanitizer dispenser in the hall and soap dispensers in the bathrooms. The owner was pleasant and helpful to deal with on the telephone when I had a query prior to our stay. We didn't use the onsite leisure facilities such as the pool because we were using the cottage as a base from which to house hunt, rather than for a holiday. We are assured that the site facilities are excellent however. We managed to visit onsite pub and shop once which were perfect with friendly staff. A lovely experience from start to finish. 5 stars. Get booking.

“This was our first stay at The Bay village and our first stay in Filey.”

We had a wonderful holiday and would recommend it to anyone. When we arrived at the cottage we were really pleased. It was really clean, quiet and bigger than we had thought it would be. It had everything we needed to enjoy our holiday including an ironing board & iron, hairdryers and a really good shower! The only downsides of the cottage were that the double bed was really small and not very comfortable so we had a few sleepless nights which resulted one of us moving to the sofa. The blinds in the bedrooms were also thin so it was very light when you woke up in the morning. There was also some damp around the property on the walls. This didn't affect our holiday but something for the owners to be aware of. The outside space was good. We shared it with many other houses which was nice for the kids to have space to play and also to play with other children. The only downside is that if you have a dog, there is no enclosed space to let them out so you have to keep an eye on them, but that's not the end of the world. The village itself is lovely. Very clean and quiet with a cafe, shop and pub. The pub is ok but gets very busy and as you are unable to pre-book, there can be a bit of a wait for a table. There is also a leisure centre - we used the pool a couple of times. The cottage is only a short walk down to the beach (and when I say down I mean down). There is quite a steep slope down to the beach. If you turn right and walk down the beach, there is a lovely little beach cafe up on the hill that I highly recommend for a coffee and cake. I recommend this cottage. We would stay again or would look to stay in another cottage on the same sight.

“This was out 3rd visit to The Bay but our first time in Bayside.”

I was travelling with my daughter and two grandchildren of 2 and a half and 6 months. When you enter Bayside there's a spacious hallway with a very useful shoe rack and space for 2 open buggies! There's a downstairs toilet with another shoe rack and lots of space for things like cool bags. Towels are provided but if there's 4 of you it might be an idea to take a hand towel for the downstairs toilet. On the right is the spacious lounge / dining area / kitchen with French doors out onto a patio with table and 4 chairs and then a huge grass area which is safe for playing on. From the hallway you go left up stairs to a good sized landing and the two bedrooms. There's a cupboard off the landing with loads of space for suitcases etc. My daughter had the double room with the travel cot that was provided. It was a bit of a squeeze getting that in but after moving the bed a bit it worked ok. There's a big walk-in wardrobe off this room which could do with a light - maybe one of those you press and they go off after a while? They run on batteries I think. I shared the twin room with my oldest granddaughter. The beds were ok. they're a good 3' width but would benefit from new mattresses. A word to the owner - remember it's not always children that sleep in these beds! My daughter said the double bed was comfy and she's quite fussy!! :) This holiday park is great, with lots of facilities and a lovely walk down to a beautiful beach with nothing on it except sand and sea.

“Bayside Cottage was a delight!”

! Everything was spotless, all pots/pans/cutlery looked brand new. The towels were white and fluffy, another nice surprise. We found absolutely everything we needed, (3 tvs, 2 hairdryers etc etc). The green space to the back of the cottage would be ideal for kids to play on. The weather didn't allow us to enjoy the patio table/chairs, but that would have been very enjoyable (once again the patio set looked brand new). No complaints whatsoever from us, everything was top notch!!

“HAd a wonderful holiday, we’ve stayed at filey bay numerous times over the years and have to say this is one of the best holiday home we’ve stayed at, spotlessly clean , very comfortable, and had everything in there in case you had forgotten to take anything.”

Would definitely recommend 5 stars.

Emily October 2020

“We booked for a weekend as a family of 4.”

It was a great base for exploring and the property was perfect. It was very clean, there were clear Covid 19 instructions and plenty of materials to maintain. We had read the previous review and brought our own cleaning materials but these weren't needed on the whole. One suggestion is for a mop as we had poor weather and wanted to keep the hall clean. We are looking to book again for the summer.

- Emily, October 2020
Louise September 2020

“We’ve stayed at the bay on lots of occasions so are used to a high standard, this was our first time at this property and unfortunately the house needs a thorough deep clean, particularly at the moment with the Covid situation.”

The master bedroom floorboards creak (other holiday makers have mentioned previously in the guest book) and the carpets look like they’re ready for a good shampoo. The kitchen accessories and crockery needed washing prior to use, I understand that’s due to people not cleaning them properly but they should be double checked before the next guests arrive in my opinion. There aren’t any large frying pans and the tea towels were filthy so we bought one which we've taken home with us, there were no spare bin liners so we had to make do with carrier bags once the bin was full up. The front door is terrible to lock/unlock which needs attention (it has to be slammed to lock it) The property itself is lovely but the above does need bringing to the owners attention I feel so they can speak with their cleaners etc Would recommend the property once the niggles have been sorted out

- Louise, September 2020

Thank you for your feedback. The owner was disappointed with your comments regrading the cleaning especially as they allow additional time for the cleaners to ensure everything is perfect for your arrival. Comments regarding this are usually very positive but they will speak to the cleaning company involved to ensure they do not have any further feedback of a similar vein. If the owner had been aware of your complaint during your time they would have arranged a re clean for you, unfortunately as the comments have only come to light since your departure they could not rectify the issues. The owner was at the property a few days before your arrival and could not find anything wrong with the door but will keep an eye out for it ,and as the property is self catering there is only a starter bin bag provided.

“A lovely cottage on a wonderful development of holiday homes.”

The house was clean and comfortable . This is the second time we have stayed here and would definitely stay again. Perfect Location, close to Filey and Scarborough.

- Samantha, August 2020
Susan August 2020

“Nice cottage in a lovely location, close to the beach.”

Cottage is dog friendly which is the main reason we booked it. Patio areas at the back of the cottages was enclosed, so was both dog and child friendly. The holiday village had a pub serving food- food was good but the pub itself lacked management.

- Susan, August 2020
Rebecca July 2020

“Email confirmation said 3pm check in.”

At 3.20 we went in to the cottage, started unpacking, for my husband to then shout from upstairs, we need to get out all the towels and sheets are still bagged up!!! We finally got in at nearly 7pm after phone calls even to the owner. The cleaners were lovely, they knew we were stood outside waiting. Therefore I wouldn’t say a deep clean happened. We cleaned some areas ourselves. We would recommend changing your check in time to a later time. All our food in our car went off or melted, defrosted due to the heat and wait to get in. Had we had a 5pm check in stated on our confirmation we would’ve set off later with our car loaded with food. Not sure I would use Sykes again. Maybe go direct or another site.

- Rebecca, July 2020
Sally July 2020

“House was lovely and spacious, in a fab spot overlooking a communal green area at the back.”

It felt like we were the first people in since reopening as it was so clean and fresh. We have stayed in lots of houses at The Bay and this has been our favourite. We didn't want to leave and we are already looking to rebook!

John October 2019

“The property was as expected and was comfortable, clean and warm with excellent WiFi and certainly a property we would be happy to use again.”

With regards to the Bay in general, it would have been good if Sykes had of told us in advance that there was major building taking place on site. Although this did not affect us directly, they are major building works and I feel we should have been informed before we booked. The pub on site needs to employ a manager - the service was pretty awful with folk waiting over 20 minutes for a drink. I should say that the staff where friendly and did seem to be trying hard but there was no organisation at all and on at least two evenings there was no evening menu, so all in all disappointing. But, we had a great break over the week and we would return to the Bay.

- John, October 2019
Angela October 2019

“The cottage was not very clean , especially the staircase & bedroom carpets ( we got the vaccuum cleaner out of cupboard to clean carpets ourselves but it was not working ) & the bathroom hadn't been cleaned thoroughly for some considerable time .”

It is disappointing because it's a lovely cottage & we would go back if assured that it had been cleaned properly

- Angela, October 2019

“A wonderful cottage for a family of four.”

Great double bed, super comfy. A well pressured shower, never ran out of water. Lovely extra touches of a welcome pack and board games to play.

- Kay, September 2019
Nick August 2019

“The cottage was brilliant and very dog friendly.”

What was ideal was the open grassed area at the back of the cottage where she was able to play with other dogs. There is easy access down to the beach and plenty of places for walks. The pool and pub was nice to have on site. Definitely would recommend it.

“A delightful, clean and tastefully decorated property which we found to be the perfect base for our 1 week holiday over Easter.”

We had previously booked through Hoeseasons but found this cottage with Sykes and were much more impressed with the higher level of accomodation with Sykes and will book with them from now on for sure. We are a small family with a six year old and found the cottage to be the perfect size for us. The cottage has everything you need, a home from home and is in a great location at The Bay in Filey. We used the on site swimming pool and we ate at the on site pub. We went to the UV kids disco and interactive mega quiz in the evening. Our six year old son was over the moon that we won the quiz!

The property

Filey 2.5 miles.

Bayside Cottage is a mid-terrace property, tucked away within The Bay holiday village, close to Filey seaside town.

With excellent on-site facilities, it provides a wonderful base for an enjoyable, traditional family holiday, with close proximity to both the beach and the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Wolds.

Warm and inviting, there is a nautical theme running through the property, with a spacious and airy open-plan living area.

This incorporates a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable seating, a dining area, with French doors opening onto a small private patio.

Upstairs are two bright and cheerful bedrooms and a family bathroom, with an additional handy cloakroom on the ground floor.

A five-minute walk brings you to the pub, café and pharmacist.

Surrounded by extensive communal grounds, with picnic areas and two lakes, it has a host of outdoor activities to partake in, including fishing, tennis and bike hire.

Guests are able to book scuba diving, archery and fencing lessons, whilst the indoor swimming pool, sauna and steam room will be a big hit with everyone.

A pleasant walk brings you to a long, sandy and safe beach, whilst the quaint seaside resort of Filey has fine promenades, lovely ornamental gardens and a unique cobbled landing for fishing vessels.

Why not explore Filey Brigg with its rock pools, or take an invigorating clifftop walk with panoramic views along the coastline?

Nearby Bempton RSPB reserve is well worth a visit - especially in the summer months, to see the puffins, kittiwakes and gannets.

Culture lovers will enjoy the surrounding stately homes, such as Sledmere House, Sewerby Hall and Burton Agnes Hall, while art lovers can follow the Hockney trail that inspired his famous paintings.

With something to suit everyone, this property is the perfect choice.

About the location

FILEY

Scarborough 7.7 miles; Bridlington 10.5 miles.

Filey is a traditional English seaside resort with a friendly atmosphere, offering a restful holiday, making an ideal place to stay for walkers and wildlife watchers at any time of the year. A real gem on the Yorkshire coast. A fishing town on the North East Coast, Filey has enjoyed a reputation of being a resort since Victorian times, set beside the magnificent Filey Bay, a long stretch of beautiful sand, with Filey Brigg and its shallow rockpools to the north. Filey Brigg is a low headland that protects Filey Bay and provides good bird watching and seawatching opportunities all year round. The 400 ft high Bempton Cliffs (RSPB Reserve) to the south of Filey Bay are home to over 250,000 seabirds in the summer. Gannets, kittiwakes, puffins, guillimots and razorbills all nest there. Gannets are regularly seen diving for fish in Filey Bay. The Brigg area is an ideal place to watch for common and rarer waders, seabirds and migrating warblers,finches and thrushes. As well as seabirds, seals and other marine life, such as porpoises dolphins and minke whales can be seen in the sea around the Brigg. The town itself seems almost caught in a time warp, retaining much of its character with individual shops, narrow paths and ginnels. There is a small coble landing, a slipway where local fishermen keep their boats, plus delightful beach chalets that can be hired through the summer months. The bay is edged with two promenades and there are various gardens, where brass bands play on a Sunday afternoon. This small town is family orientated, crazy golf and candy floss. Also in Filey there is the Filey Dams Nature Reserve, a wetland reserve where common and rare waders and wildfowl can be seen as well as autumn gatherings of swallows, sand martins and house martins. Also there is Parish Wood (just off Sycamore Avenue) an unexpected gem that offers a wealth of wildlife. Willow warbler, chiffchaff, blackcap and tree sparrows breed there and a wide variety of other species are regularly seen such as great spotted woodpeckers and sparrow hawks. Parish Wood also provides shelter and food for a wide range of migrant bird species such as goldcrests, pied and spotted flycatchers, warblers, finches, thrushes and woodcocks. A short drive brings you to the busier town of Scarborough where for family fun you can visit the Alpamare Waterpark, a waterpark unlike anything the UK has ever seen before, as well as plenty to explore and discover in this lovely area.

There is a meadow about 100 yards from this property which is open to the public.
