  • "The owners were immediately helpful when our first night was disturbed with a noise coming from above."

    The problem was rectified the next day and we then had a very good holiday. The hot tub is lovely, and the fact that big towels were provided was great. My only downside would be the dining chairs would benefit from seat pads.

  • "Enjoyed a long weekend with family."

    Only thing was we could hear what we think were birds in the guttering and ion the solar panels, it sounded like they had steel boots on, which did disturb sleep. Not quite sure how this could be resolved though. Only happened from about 5am till about 8am then stopped. Very nice location and an enjoyable break.

  • "Just come back from a lovely 4 night stay at April cottage."

    This is a lovely, cozy cottage and has everything you could need and feels like home from home. The hot tub is an added bonus to give us time to relax after a busy day at the seaside with the children. I would highly recommend this cottage and will be booking again to return in the future.

  • "The five of us loved April Cottage for our girly getaway."

    It was spacious, clean and homely. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The hot tub was great - worked perfectly and was very close to the door into the house. We parked both cars in the nearby pub car park - I wouldn't recommend leaving one on the main road particularly if it is foggy like it was during our stay. The location is brilliant - easy to get to Scarborough and Filey.

  • "The cottage was absolutely beautiful and the owner visited us the first evening to explain the hot tub."

    We had a lovely stay and the cottage provided everything we needed even left Halloween sweets for our grandchildren which was much appreciated. The cottage location is ideal for visiting seaside resorts and the pub over the road is a great place to eat. Although the weather was very wet during our stay. We had a marvellous time and all three grandchild want to return.

  • "Lovely cottage and everything we expected."

    It was clean and well maintained. Good touches such as washing machines tablets, towels for hot tub etc. Great pub across the road which does amazing food. Just a couple of little pointers for the future, a welcome booklet including further information I.e WIFi password, taxi numbers, recommendations for places to eat and to visit etc. would be helpful.

  • "We had an excellent stay at April Cottage."

    It was very clean and had everything we needed throughout. The kitchen was really well equipped with plenty of cupboard space, the bedrooms had more than enough wardrobes and drawers for clothes with plenty of coat hangers. The hot tub and garden were private and well kept. The owner was very friendly and informative about the local amenities. It's ideally placed for exploring the area and has a great pub for food on the doorstep. Perfect!

    We’re glad you enjoyed your stay, we are constantly improving and investing in April Cottage. Thanks for leaving it so clean Property Owner

  • "We had an absolutely fabulous stay and brilliant week."

    The cottage is in an excellent location, really close to Filey, Scarborough and Bridlington. It's perfect for families. April Cottage itself is clean, tidy and had everything we needed. We were greeted by the owner on arrival with a welcome hamper of teas and coffees and were given their direct number should we need anything. Prior to arrival we had read some slightly damning reviews but were pleased to find these were all incorrect. The living room carpet and sofa are in excellent condition. The bonus of the hot tub and rear garden was the highlight of our stay and our daughter loved both. There is a wonderful pub across the road which serves amazing food and does take out. We would recommend April Cottage and will definitely be staying again.

  • "Firstly we had a great holiday as the weather was fantastic."

    The cottage however was a little disappointing and not up to the usual standards we would expect for a holiday let. The main issue was the wet dog smell in the main living area coming from the sofa. For a pet free cottage this was not what we would expect and we had to keep the windows open to stop the smell from building up. We spoke to the owners mid week and they informed us that they were replacing the carpet and sofa in that room as soon as we had left, this didn't help us but will hopefully resolve the issue for the future guests. The property could do with some finishing touches, repainting for example, this seems to have been done here and there but not full walls and some walls were quite dirty or marked. The main living areas were clean but there were very dusty places all over, corners of the living room, under the wall mounted heaters etc. The hot tub was one of the main reasons we booked the property and this got progressively cloudy as our holiday progressed. The information left in the property said that the owners would check this every day but this wasn't happening. We arrived on Friday and someone came very early Monday morning but didn't do anything. We called Sykes to complain on the Wednesday and following a conversation with the owner they came around whilst we were out and did something with the hot tub as it was much better on our return. The property is also right on a busy main road so there is a considerable amount of road noise, especially in the living room and the front bedroom. There was no information left in the property about waste collection or recycling so we just left bags tied up in the side alley.

    Thank you for your feedback,the living room has now been redone with all new carpets and brand new furniture. Regarding the hot tube, the chemicals and levels were regularly checked and filters changed, prior to each stay. We take your comments on board. Property Owner

  • "The cottage has a awful smell which can only be described as wet dog the plug ins did not disguise this ,the sofa needs a deep clean ."

    A few finishing touches would be helpful - no slip mat in bath or blind at the window a drainer maybe in the kitchen for dishes. Lounge blinds broken cord and no child safety fasteners .Back bedroom blind only closes not tilts . When we turned on the hot tub it had a brown rim around looking like false tan off someone before us which we cleaned before use.

About the location

FILEY

Scarborough 7.7 miles; Bridlington 10.5 miles.

Set in the magnificent Filey Bay, Filey is a traditional English seaside resort with a friendly atmosphere, offering a restful holiday, making it an ideal place to stay for walkers and wildlife watchers at any time of the year. 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. The town itself seems almost caught in a time warp, retaining much of its character with individual shops, narrow paths and ginnels and there is 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 and there are loads of family activities such as Alpamare UK waterpark, Filey Bird Garden and Animal Park and the Filey Dams Nature Reserve, a wetland reserve where all kinds of common and rare birdlife can be seen. A short drive brings you to the busier town of Scarborough where you will find great beaches, a castle, the Rotunda Museum and the acclaimed Sea Life Centre. Other towns worth visiting close to Filey include Bridlington, Whitby, Hornsea and Saltburn, which all demonstrate the vibrancy of this picturesque North Yorkshire region.
