"Thank you Mike for allowing us to stay once again at Sunrise."
The cottage is very well equipped. There is everything you require in the cottage and is clean and comfortable. Very well located in the best possible place to view the sea, view the early morning sunrise, walk along the flat promenade to Cobble Landing, have a cuppa, purchase from the RNLI shop and walk back! There are plenty of seats to take a rest and enjoy the scenery. We are looking forward to our revisit once again in March 2025. Keith & Margaret Webster

"We love Filey and have seen Sunrise many times but finally booked as its always busy."
Absolutely wonderful place. Loved reading about the story behind the building and the labour of love it's been. The location is amazing, the decor lovely, I love the layout of the house, the staircase the juliet balcony the breakfast bar the outside decking make it feel so cosy and unique. Its very clean and everything you could need and more is provided attention to detail is spot on. WiFi was great too. Listening to the sound of the sea from the bedroom skylights was so relaxing. While we were there we booked for next year as we just didn't want to leave. 100 percent recommend Sunrise.
Dear Clair, I have just read this feedback on your holiday. I do not recall receiving such a comprehensive and lovely appraisal of your experience at 'Sunrise'. I cannot thank you enough. Best wishes, Mike Property Owner

"We have had numerous holidays in Sunrise Filey !"
It is a marvellous cottage to stay in . Second to none in cleanliness and position on the Beach Road . The owner is very attentive and quickly sorts any problems if they occur . Looking forward to another return visit next year . Would highly recommend.
Dear Malcolm, Thank you very much for you lovely feedback. I am so glad that you enjoyed your holiday inspire of the indifferent weather! I look forward to welcoming you back next year. Best wishes, Mike Property Owner

"Another lovely stay at this awesome cottage thank you very much"

First time at this property and was well impressed ,had a lovely time ,it was brilliant to have somewhere to park the car ,it was nice to sit outside with a coffee in the sunshine in front of the sea ,would definitely book again Before
Dear Gillian, I apologise for the very late response to your feedback on your holiday in Sunrise. I am so pleased that you enjoyed staying at my 'little jewel by the sea' and I look forward to welcoming you back again in the future. Best wishes, Mike Property Owner

"Wonderful location and 2 mins from the beach however the wfi connection was practically nil and we couldn't connect to online bridge."
The cottage was spotlessly clean... however the toaster could do with replacing. However we had a wonderful week and if we stayed in it was so lovely to look at and hear the sea. 10 out of 10 for the lovely garden. Booked again for next year.
Dear Patricia, Thank you for feedback and I am glad that you had a lovely week's holiday in 'Sunrise'. I am sorry that the internet signal was weak. As I point out in the Guest Handbook I have long standing issues over a land line installation. Hence why it has to be wirelessly transmitted from an adjacent property. This usually works quite well. I suspect that the booster receiver on the kitchen window ledge might have been switched off by a previous guest. We should have checked so I am sorry. Thanks for telling me about the toaster. I will get that replaced. (The third in 2 years!) Enjoy the rest of the Summer and I look forward to welcoming you back next year. BW Mike Property Owner

"As always Mike a lovely stay in Sunrise."
Love the addition of the private sun terrace to the side, it was a sun trap last weekend and added to our stay in the beautiful cottage which was so peaceful and quite in the mornings and evenings, we had the area surrounding us to ourselves. Many thanks.
Dear Janine, Thank you very much for your lovely feedback. I am so glad that you have enjoyed another holiday in my 'little jewel' by the sea! Best wishes, Mike Property Owner

"Smashing little property right on the front at Filey."
Absolutely spotless on arrival and a great welcome pack to boot
Hi Steve, Thanks very much for your feedback comments. I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay in Sunrise and I look forward to welcoming you back next year. Best wishes, Mike Property Owner

"Thank you for letting us stay at Sunrise once again."
We both enjoyed our stay as in past years. The facilities were excellent once again with everything we required and thank you for the 'welcome pack'. Even though the cottage was clean, it did lack the lovely welcome aroma as we have experienced in previous years. We do not have a pet and there was no visibility/aroma of any previous visitor having had a pet. The new bed and mattress were very comfortable. (Thank you Mike for that). It was lovely to be able to sit out in the sunshine and enjoy the sound of the sea with our drinks. Sunrise is so near to the promenade to enjoy the walk along to the 'opposite end - Cobble Landing', where a refreshing 'cuppa' can be purchased (subject to being open due to weather conditions of course). There are some interesting areas in and around Filey to visit. We would recommend a holiday break at Sunrise. We have already booked for March 2025 and will look forward to our 'restful break' once again. Keith & Margaret Webster
Dear Keith and Margaret, Thank you for taking the time to provide me with feedback. I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay once again. I love your description of Filey. I will have to employ you as my advertising agent! Take care until I welcome you back next year. Mike Property Owner

"This is the second time at the cottage."
As we have a dog we always go when the dog is allowed on the beach (early or late season). My only issue with the property, which is very well cared for, is the main bathroom is on the ground flour! Bill
Hi Bill, Thanks for your feedback. The reason why the bathroom is on the ground floor is because before 'Sunrise' was renovated it was only a single story flat roofed property. Planning permission to add the second floor restricted the height hence why the space is limited, not allowing for 2 adequate bedrooms as well as an upstairs bathroom. It also took two years of negotiations to get approval for any changes! On the small point regarding dog access to the beach. Are you aware that restrictions only apply to the areas bound by the sea walls? the stretch of beach beyond and towards Primrose Valley is free of restrictions all year. Kind regards, Mike Property Owner

"A little gem A lovely little cottage which was perfect for us, it was modern, clean and had everything we needed."
The location was fabulous with stunning sea views. We loved it so much we rebooked as soon as we got home. The basic WiFi was not a problem for us but maybe for some and I know the owner is fighting a long running battle to sort this. We can’t wait for our next visit.
Dear Gill, Thank you very much for your positive feedback. I am so glad that you had an enjoyable holiday. I look forward to welcoming you back next year. I hope that you have a lovely Spring and Summer to come. Kind regards, Mike Property Owner

"Lovely cottage in an amazing location and well equipped throughout."
We had a great, comfortable stay.
Dear Lynne, Apologies for the late response. Thank you for your positive comments. I am so glad that you enjoyed your birthday weekend. Best wishes for 2024. Mike Property Owner

"My fourth visit."
Location, location, location. Sunrises are exceptional. Such a lovely cottage. The owner is very responsive and thoughtful. No WiFi at all on this visit, but it wasn't a huge issue for us. Filey is lovely in any weather. Very cosy and warm throughout the stay. Thank you.
Dear Julie, Thank you for your lovely feedback. I am sorry that the WiFi was not working during your visit. I have had it checked after your visit and everything appears to be working now. All that I can think is that the Plusnet service was down. There have been local reports that the service has been intermittent during the previous weeks. I hope that you are having a pleasurable Christmas and may I wish you good health and fortune for 2024. Mike Property Owner

"Lovely cottage been three times, but have noticed a few cracks appearing."
Also could do with updating the WI-FI and television.
Dear Lesley, Thanks for your feedback. It is always helpful to hear what people think so that I can put right any deficiencies . With regards the TV and the internet I would very much like to update both but as indicated in the handbook, I am locked into a long standing dispute with both Openreach and the Local Authority regarding the supply of a fixed landline connection. Hence the internet having to be wi-fi'd to the property but unfortunately, this will not support a smart TV, which is my wish. In terms of 'Cracks appearing' I am assuming that you mean care/maintenance rather than physical cracks. These are scheduled to be addressed straight away in January when Sunrise is closed to attend to these issues. May I take this opportunity to wish you a happy Christmas and best wishes for 2024. Property Owner

"Amazing as always!"
Sunrise is in a perfect location for the beach, well organised and always spotlessly clean. The new mattress in the main bedroom was a very welcome bonus and extremely comfy! This cottage is our perfect ‘home from home’ - Mike has done a fantastic job, cannot fault it at all, looking forward to our next visit!
Dear Jacqueline, Thank you so much for leaving me a lovely review. I try very hard to make your visit as enjoyable as I can. I will pass on your comments about cleanliness to my cleaner. She is a real jewel who only works for me and she looks after 'Sunrise' as if it was her own! I look forward to your return next year. Best wishes for Christmas and the NewYear. Kind regards, Mike Property Owner

"Amazing can’t rate highly enough"
Dear John, Thank you very much. I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay at our 'little hideaway' by the sea. I look forward to welcoming you back soon. Best wishes, Mike Property Owner

"A BEAUTIFUL WELL MAINTAINED PROPERTY, PRIVATE PARKING A BONUS, LOVELY WALKS ON THE BEACH JUST OVER THE ROAD"
Mike, Thank you very much for your encouraging feedback. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay in 'Sunrise'. Filey is a bit of a hidden gem and having the beautiful sandy beach on the doorstep is a real bonus. Kind regards, Mike Property Owner

"Once again our week's holiday in Sunrise Filey was a marvellous one !"
Our second visit . The cottage is super clean , warm and comfortable . Cannot fault it in any way and happy to say Filey was still as good as ever , beautiful gardens and free of rubbish . Thank you
Dear Malcom, Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. It is always good to hear that guests have enjoyed staying at our 'little gem' by the sea. I will also make sure that our cleaner gets sight of your comments. I look forward to welcoming you back to Filey again soon. Stay well & take care during the winter. Kind regards, Mike Property Owner

"We love staying in the house but the beds are so uncomfortable now that it’s ..."
We love staying in the house but the beds are so uncomfortable now that it’s impossible to get any sleep even when we bring our own mattress toppers
Hi Elizabeth, I am so sorry that you found the beds uncomfortable. After 3 plus years of renting I blocked out 3 weeks during next February for a major refurbishment of the soft furnishings. It is clear, from your feedback that the mattresses need replacing now. I have spent the past w/e researching 'Which' best buys and I have ordered new top quality Emma mattresses to be delivered asap. I hope that this make you reassured that you will get a good night's sleep should you decide to return to 'Sunrise' in the future. Hopefully the outside private balcony will also be completed by then! Kind regards, Mike Property Owner

"This was our second stay at Sunrise."
We love the place. A delightful cottage in a stunning location. The property was in an excellent condition on our arrival, and the basket of goodies, including a bottle of wine and box of chocolate biscuits, was a wonderful touch. Some slight niggles (we're being picky here): more subtle lighting (e.g. small table lamps) would be nice in the living room for watching TV in the evening, maybe some more towel rails in the bathroom, the single beds were fine but the double bed was rather uncomfortable and noisy, there was no mirror in the twin-bedded room, and the heated towel rail in the bathroom didn't appear to work. Nevertheless, we had a wonderful time in Filey and look forward to staying again at Sunrise.
Dear Richard, I am glad that you enjoyed being At 'Sunrise' again and thank you for your constructive comments. I am travelling to Filey during next week and I will attend to some of the points you make whilst I am there. To address a couple of your points, I think that the heated towel rail is dependant on the timer being set but I will certainly check on its function. Perhaps I need to give a better explanation in the guest handbook. In terms of bed comfort it is rather subjective. Some prefer soft and others hard. The base obviously needs attention and I will deal with that, thank you for telling me. Finally, I have closed 'Sunrise' for most of next February for a manor refurb and maybe that will be the time for a bed and other replacements. Please enjoy the rest of your Summer (hopefully with better weather!) Kind regards, Mike Property Owner

"Absolutely fantastic."
Second time in sunrise and would definitely book again.
Dear Lesley, So few words that mean so much to me. Thank you. Best wishes, Mike Property Owner

"We have just returned from our week at Sunrise."
We have had a lovely week. The bungalow is perfect, The only thing to make it 100% would be some outside space. The bungalow is beautifully decorated and furnished, with everything you need. Perfectly positioned, parking a bonus. I could have stayed as my forever home!! I did want to fill in the visitors book. I hadn’t taken a pen and couldn’t find one in the bungalow. Perhaps one could be clipped to the Visitors Book.
Hi Patrice. Thank you for your positive feedback. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your holiday. On the question of extending the outside space; you will have noticed my intent to extend this by building a raised patio area next Sunrise. Unfortunately, completing this project during the past year has not been possible until next week!! So apologies that it hasn't happened in time for your visit. I promise that it will be there if and when you want to return. Oh, and I will supply plenty of pens!! Kind regards. Mike Property Owner

"Yet another wonderful holiday at Sunrise, Filey."
We have now visited about 6 times and always enjoyed the excellent cottage facilities and Filey including surrounding areas. Sunrise is so convenient to the beach and a good leisurely walk on the promenade to the opposite end to the Cobble Landing which has its own features of interest. The cottage has everything you would need for a relaxing break, all you need is fine and sunny weather to make it better, which we did this year. Thank you for allowing us to stay at Sunrise once again and also for the welcome pack. We look forward to our visit in March 2024. Keith & Margaret
Dear Keith & Margaret, Thank you once again for your generous comments about 'Sunrise'. It is always a pleasure to welcome you back and for you to love staying with us to enjoy what Filey and it's surrounding area has to offer. I am so glad that the weather 'behaved itself'! Having a bit of sunshine is always a bonus! Have a lovely Summer and please take care until you return in March. Best wishes, Mike Property Owner

"Fabulous cottage with best views of the sea and love the sound of the waves."
Well equipped and clean ,cosy in the cooler months.Our 3rd visit says it all.
Dear Alison, It is lovely to hear back from you and I am so glad that you, yet again, enjoyed your stay at my little 'hide away by the sea'. I know what you mean regarding the soporific sound of the sea. There is nothing better to get you off to sleep! Thank you so much for your comments. Best wishes, Mike Property Owner

"Excellent holiday in Sunrise."
Beautifully positioned little cottage. Suited our needs perfectly and a lovely sunny week as well, what more could you ask. We booked for next year when we had only been there one night we were so pleased with the accommodation! Facilities are great and watching the sun rise each morning was beautiful. Only problem is that it’s so good you have to book a year in advance!
Dear Janine, Thank you very much for you lovely positive feedback. There is nothing more pleasing to me that our visitors to Sunrise have a refreshing and enjoyable holiday. I look forward to welcoming you back again next year. Kind regards, Mike Property Owner

"This is a wonderful cottage well equipped, perfectly placed and beautifully cared for."
We had high expectations from previous feed back and we’re not at all disappointed. Thank you for an excellent holiday experience
Dear Liz, I am so pleased to learn that you enjoyed your stay in Sunrise. Thank you for your positive feedback. I hope that I will be able to welcome you back again soon. Kind regards, Mike Property Owner

"An absolute gem of a property, shouldn't really say that as we'll never be able to get in there again!"
!
Dear Andy, Thank you so much for taking the time to contact me personally after your stay & for your generous comments about Sunrise. You will be very welcome to return at anytime in the future. Kind regards, Mike Property Owner

"4 th time we've been to this lovely cottage and we've booked for next year already."
Lovely time of the year to visit Filey and the facilities in the cottage are first class. Looks like a larger raised patio is being constructed and this will add to the facilities
Dear Richard, I am so pleased that you have had another enjoyable holiday. You are correct, as soon as better weather arrives I intend to complete the addition of providing a more private outdoor raised decked area for guests to use for either relaxing or eating outside. Thank you for booking again and I look forward to welcoming you back once more next year Best wishes, Mike Property Owner

"This property is perfectly placed along the coast in Filey and has been refurbished to a very high standard."
The layout is perfect and extremely cosy given the well insulated walls, in terms of accessibility it ticks all the boxes for a holiday home being that it has its own designated parking space within the grounds. Couple of points to add , the double bed is a small one and could do with replacing with a king or queen size one. The Wi-Fi is extremely poor , when measured it was less than 2mb and this was a significant let down as we like most people like to use the streaming services and could not. I would strongly suggest to the owner to invest in a standalone internet connection and not piggy back off another property. This was not highlighted in the property description when we originally booked. I would love to stay again at Sunrise as it is beautifully done but would say the above 2 items need attention.
Hi Anthony, I am glad that you regard 'Sunrise' ticks most of the boxes required of a holiday home. The two issues that you mention need an explanation. I recognise that providing a larger double bed would be desirable. Unfortunately, which ever way the bed is positioned in that bed room a larger one will not fit! It would, on the one hand, prevent the door from opening and on the other, would not enable bed access or tables on both sides. We tried our best but the slightly odd shape of the room, when we converted the property, provided us with only one option. In terms of the poor internet connection, this has been a serious frustration for me for the past 5 years! I have been in dispute with both Plusnet, Openreach and an unresponsive local authority to the point of serious exasperation. It is a long saga & too long to detail here but, if I may, I will send you an email separately that will give you a flavour of of what I have been up against. You certainly picked a cold week but I am glad that 'Sunrise' kept you warm and that you managed to get out and about to see what Filey has to offer. Kind regards, Mike Property Owner

"We had another lovely stay at Sunrise and we have booked to go back in 2024."
Thank you to Mike the owner and the team at Sykes for making our holiday as seamless as possible.
Thank you Sarah, It is so nice to know that you enjoyed your stay yet again. I will look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Best wishes, Mike Property Owner

"The property is a real home from home."
The location is amazing and off street parking a definite bonus. (Although it was quiet when we stayed parking wasn’t a problem). You are straight onto the beach so you are able to simply look out of the window to check when the tide has gone out enough to be able to go for a walk onto the beach! The home is well equipped with everything you would need. I cannot recommend enough.
Dear Sarah Thank you so much for your kind words. I am so pleased when guests enjoy their holiday and that they find 'Sunrise' comfortable, warm and inviting. The proximity to the beach is obviously a real bonus and especially as you don't have a long uphill trek after an embracing walk! Best wishes, Mike Hepworth Property Owner
-
"Always lovely cottage to stay at."
Highly recommended
Dear Matthew, Thanks for your positive feedback. I would be very pleased if you will let know what aspect of the cleanliness was not up to standard so that we can rectify it. You should have my email address from previous welcome communications. You might have to check in your spam folder! Also we have found a mattress topper that you might have inadvertently left behind and we would like to return to you. I have sent you an email but I have not heard back as yet. Again you might look in your spam mail. I need your home address. May I wish you a happy New Year, Kind regards Mike Hepworth Property Owner

"Once again a wonderful holiday at Sunrise."
Even though the weather was very wintery, the cottage was very comfortable and warm. This is our 5th visit and did not disappoint. The sunrises were fabulous as usual against the wintery weather. Thank you once again for your communication re the heating. We used it efficiently like we do at home, conscious of the costs but we were not cold. We visited Burton Agnes to see their Christmas decorations and was not disappointed - very good and worth the visit. We look forward to our net stay in May 2023 and again in March 2024. Keith Webster
Dear Keith, I apologise for not responding sooner to thank you for your kind and detailed feedback on your stay in Sunrise. I am glad that you feel able and want to return for a break so often. I hope that we can continue to maintain your expectations. May I wish you a healthy, happy and splendid New Year. Kind regards Mike Property Owner

"Returned for a 3rd time and it is always so cosy and a lovely place to relax."
Spotlessly clean and wonderful location.

"Lovely property, everything you need & in a brilliant location across the road from the beach which is fantastic when you have a dog who loves the beach, so he enjoyed his holiday too!"
!! The parking area belonging to the property is an absolute premium. Even though we were there out of season parking on the road in the day time was busy. We found the Wi-Fi worked better upstairs. Loved reading about the history of the property & how it’s developed to being what it is today. Will definitely have it on my list for a return trip.
Jacqueline, thank you very much for your positive feedback. I am so glad that you (and your dog) enjoyed our little 'hide away' by the sea. I am not sure why the wi-fi worked better upstairs but it is something that I will look into when I next visit. We hope that we can look forward to your return in the future. Have a lovely Christmas. Best wishes, Mike Property Owner

"It was a privilege to stay at this cottage."
Everything was perfect. Sea sounds and views spectacular. The cottage had everything that we needed with bonuses such as a parking place. Very comfortable and amazingly quiet considering how close it was to the road. Spent time sitting in the front having a drink and watching the world. Wonderful.
Dear Angela, Thank you very much for your very positive feedback. I am so glad that you enjoyed your holiday in 'Sunrise' and I hope that I might be able to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Mike Property Owner

"What a awesome property everything you need sunshine,views and the sound of the sea."
We also met the Mike the owner and thanks for the welcome pack.I would also like to thank the other Mike for the quick return of my phone which I left behind please let me know if I owe anything to cover the cost
Dear Peter and Lynne, I am so glad that you enjoyed staying at 'Sunrise' and It was good to meet you personally. I am also glad that your phone made it's way home safely. I don't intend to charge you for the cost of the postage. All part of the service and I share your occasional forgetfulness!! Best wishes, Mike Property Owner
-
"We had a lovely holiday here."
The house is perfect for access to the beach and lots of the things Filey has to offer. The parking spot is very useful, particularly in busy times. The house is modern, clean and very comfortable to stay in. I would recommend this property!
Dear Daniel, Thank you very much for your generous feedback. I am so pleased that you had an enjoyable holiday in Sunrise and Filey. I hope that we might see you again in the future. Kind regards Mike Property Owner

"Outstanding property, excellent facilities & clean throughout."
Such a lovely view of Filey beach. Parking is a dream, especially how busy the front for parking is. Highly recommend a stay here. Fantastic communication from Owner & Sykes. Thank you so much.
Dear Chris, Thank you very much for your positive feedback, I am so glad that you enjoyed your holiday and I hope that your keys have safely made their way home? Best wishes, Mike Property Owner

"My second visit to this lovely cottage."
Perfect location. Booking was easy and I was kept informed throughout from initial contact to leaving
Hi Julie, Apologies, I have only just seen this. I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay once more in 'Sunrise'. I would also like to thank you for your patience whilst we sorted out the malfunctioning toilet and for keeping me informed regarding the plumber's visits. Kind regards Mike Property Owner

"Thank you again for allowing us to enjoy your wonderful cottage 'Sunrise'."
The location is excellent with the lovely sunrise early morning to look forward to along with the sound of the sea crashing up against the promenade or just rolling in on the beach both of which are only across the road. The cottage facilities are excellent along with the cleanliness and layout which suits our needs very much. Thank you also for the 'welcome pack'. Once again a very enjoyable holiday break in Filey. We have already booked for 2023 so as not to miss out on our annual stay in Filey especially at 'Sunrise'. As we sat out in the sunshine with our lunch or drinks, we had many passers by expressing how nice it would be to stay in Sunrise', we informed that it was excellent...get booking on line with Sykes!!
Dear Keith, Thank you for publishing your personal email to me as feedback to Sykes. Your comments are very much appreciated. I am so glad that you enjoy staying at 'Sunrise' and I will look forward to welcoming you back again next year. I have already ordered the good weather for you! Perhaps I should consider paying you commission for selling my property to passers by! Stay safe and best wishes, Mike Property Owner

"Virtually everything was top class - we have already placed a provisional booking for 2024."
The only issue was a safety issue getting out of the bath - no bath mat or grab handle. Both my wife and I slipped when getting out of the bath after getting a shower
Dear Bill I apologise for not getting back to you sooner. I must have missed your posting. Bath mats are supplied and I cannot understand why they were not provided in your case. I will follow this up with our cleaners. If you are faced with this or any other problems in the future then please do get in touch whilst in residence and we will endeavour to rectify any problems. We have contemplated grab handles for the bath but our worry is fixing them to tiles that are backed onto a plasterboard wall lining. If they were to come adrift in use then perhaps an even bigger problem might arise. Thanks for getting in touch. Feedback is important to us. Mike Property Owner

"A little piece of Yorkshire’s own Paradise if you love the beach, fresh air and a beautiful, practical place to stay."
No unnecessary clutter or gadgets! Just right. “Sunrise” (Filey, February 2022) From “Sunrise” to sunrise The rising sun glows The sea swells its motion As waves to shore flow From “Sunrise” to sunrise Flamborough is in view Two lighthouses, white ones From cliff tops peep through From “Sunrise” to sunrise We take a deep breath Happy to have time here And enjoy the rest
Dear Anne Thank you for your poetic review of 'Sunrise' and the sunrise! I just love it. It was lovely to meet you both during my visit and I look forward to welcoming you both back soon. Mike Property Owner

"We’ve had the best time on holiday for 7days for our 60th birthday."
Everything about this cottage was perfect from cleanliness and comfort. We are looking to book again next year.
Dear Brian, Thank you for your feedback. I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay and that Sunrise provided you with a lovely backdrop to celebrate your birthdays. I look forward to welcoming you back soon. Kind regards, Mike Property Owner

Perfect location. Love it

"Delightful cottage."
Well equipped very clean, tasteful decor and very warm. Excellent position, with parking, overlooking the beach. Owner is very friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful holiday in every way.
I am so glad that you enjoyed your holiday and thank you for your positive feedback. Thank you also for booking a longer holiday in the Spring when hopefully the weather will be a little less unpredictable! Please have a lovely, safe, Christmas and a splendid New Year. Mike Property Owner

"Amazing property ,amazing views ,enjoyed so much we booked again on 2nd day of holiday for next year ."
Keep the standard high ,the outside lights rusting but that's no critism, it's coastal sea air.thanks for giving us the chance to holiday here
Dear Wayne Thank you so much for your positive feedback and for booking again for next year. Thanks also for letting me know about the external lights. You are right, the sea air corrodes anything metal, including stainless steel! A refurb is scheduled for January and I will seek replacements. Please have a safe and happy Christmas and good New Year. BW. Mike Property Owner
-
"What else can I say but Excellent as with previous visits."
Dear Elizabeth, Apologies for the delay in responding to your feedback to Sykes. It is always heartening to learn how much guests appreciate our little 'hide away' by the sea. I have already passed on your positive comment to our cleaners who strive hard to make people's stay enjoyable. Please have a safe and lovely Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.

"We had a most enjoyable time so peaceful."
The chalet was well equipped and cleaned to a high standard. Contacts were available and extremely helpful. Thankyou to Julie and staff

"We loved the cottage which was situated right at the sea front."
The cottage was very modern and clean and the welcome pack was excellent
-
"A beautiful cottage by the sea!"
Everything was perfect inside the cottage and it was clean upon arrival, we even had a complimentary bottle of fizz and treats , very thoughtful. The towels and bedding smelt lovely and were of good quality. The parking space was brilliant, as parking down on the front can be very difficult. The cottage has been lovingly restored and cleverly designed and we enjoyed reading all about this and it’s history in the guest book. The french doors in the bedroom were great for sitting at in the morning or evening with a drink. The cottage does get lots of admirers but you get used to this! The only thing if anything, the outside area could do with a little care and attention. There were lots of weeds and garden unkept, also a broken chair outside. Four chairs would have been better than two outside , but we did find two camping chairs in the cupboard, enabling us to all sit outside together. I would love to stay again, the best accommodation we have stayed in Filey and we have been coming for many years! I didn’t want to leave .

We have been a few times since the cottage was opened and we have enjoyed it so much that we keep returning. We have already booked for 2022. Thank you for the cake and wine, a very welcoming thought. The cottage is very comfortable and clean with superb views out to sea. If you are lucky, you will see the sunrise if an early riser which is really worth rising early for! The facilities and equipment are very good with everything we required. The car parking area is a welcome thought as it is very difficult to find anywhere close by. Thank you once again for letting us share your lovely 'cottage by the sea'

"Beautiful cottage in a stunning location."
The cottage was immaculately clean and obviously well cared for by the owners. The location is fantastic, we were able to enjoy views of the sea from every window. It was a bonus to have the space to park our car, in fact we never felt the need to use it due to the proximity of all the amenities. Great walks straight from your door either along the beach or on the cliff tops which offered stunning views. We would love to return one day ( was fully booked for my dates next year) Sunrise is a credit to its owners, thank you for sharing it with us

"The cottage is in a lovely position we have seen it many times - Positives : nice well equipped kitchen Location & views Parking space very handy Negatives; Lounge area has v uncomfortable settees - could fit a squidgy corner settee in for more comfort Wasted dining room space Mattresses are rock hard and quilts are thin -woke up every day with neck and back ache September is hit & miss weather wise so needs thicker quilts Needs privacy film so you still have the view put on the front door glass - as everyone looks in If you had children there is no tv in bedroom or in this day and age for an adult if they fancied watching another programme on an evening Wi fi is hit and miss Floor lamp in room instead of full light on These are our findings over a week it was a good looking cottage in great location and I’m sure cost a lot to refurbish but needs better quality furnishings apart from ikea beds which are fine for occasional use but not for continuous use which the cottage is booked out month on end so maybe some money put back in to it for quality mattresses and settee."
Im glad we stayed but it wasn’t comfortable enough for us to return but as it is booked out all the time I’m sure that won’t matter .
Many thanks for your comments following your stay at Sunrise. The Property Owner and our Customer Relations team have received your feedback, and have discussed your comments at length. We have emailed you directly as the Owner was very sorry that they were not been able to match up to your expectations. Thank you again. Property Owner

"The cottage was very clean and we felt very safe staying there ."
The furnishings were beautiful and we could tell that a great deal of thought had been put into them .We appreciated the book of information and the email from the owner on the day before our holiday was reassuring. The muffins and prosecco were a lovely surprise as was the wecome note from the ladies who did such a wonderful job ensuring that the cottage was extra clean.

"The cottage was very well equipped and situated on the beach front."
We had an amazing family holiday making lots of memories.

"Unfortunately no WiFi and T."
V. didn’t function. Apart from that everything was lovely!

"Excellent property in an ideal location, already rebooked for next year."
A credit to its owners.

"Absolutely wonderful, The premises were previously in a state of disrepair for a very long time , I was Chairman of Tourism for Filey for a number of years & Hotel General Manager at The Downcliffe Hotel just up the road from Sunrise ."
What a breathtaking surprise the Sunrise is since it has been upgraded to its present form .
-
"Beautiful Cottage, had everything we needed for a lovely relaxing weekend."
-
"The house is in a great position and lives up to its name of Sunrise!"
It was lovely to watch the sun come up while having coffee. It is well equipped and very clean, and having a parking space is very helpful. Just a couple of very minor points - need to provide hand towels for the bathrooms and the wifi was extremely slow, but usable. Filey seafront and beach are lovely and excellent if you just want a stroll. The town is well equipped with a Spar and a Tesco, plus plenty of independent shops. We loved our holiday at Sunrise so much, that we booked for the same week next year while we were there! Highly recommended

"Amazing cottage, beautiful position."
-
"Very helpful staff to help during booking."
Easy to book cottage breaks on line
-
"We have always taken a weeks break in Oct/Nov to relax at the end of the year."
The minute we walked into Sunrise there was a peaceful air about the place, it was comfortable warm and peaceful with everything one would need for a relaxing break. Bracing walks along the sea front with our little dog what more could we want. A couple of things to mention it could benefit by the addition of a grab rail over the bath/shower and a small railing outside the front door. Otherwise Perfect.

"Beautiful cottage, in a great location."
Car parking extra bonus too.
-
"The location of the property was fantastic."
The house is so smart, practical and very stylish, we were very impressed with everything. Absolutely beautiful, breath taking views. A lovely holiday I will never forget. Lots of passer's by stopped us to ask about the house it seemed to have captured everyone's attention. We gave out information to several people.
-
"The cottage is very clean and comfortable and ideally positioned."
We had a lovely weeks holiday. Our only complaint was that we were woken up on 2 days by the builder who was building the wall and laying paving at the side of the cottage.This meant that the gate was not attached and we could not sit out on the front safely with the dog. Once he has built the patio it will be an even better venue.Filey is a lovely town and very clean and peaceful . We would definitely return Dave and Sue
-
"Sunrise was exceptional it was all it said in the brochure, renovation was to a high standard extremely comfortable even the beds, sea views were fantastic even though we had a lot of rain."
But we can’t control the British weather welcome pack was good , nothing negative to say it was fabulous.
-
"The cottage was delightful and the location is perfect."
Having private parking is such a bonus in Filey. We would have liked a table outdoors for coffee etc and really would have appreciated a plug socket near a mirror for drying hair. Otherwise it was great and we have already booked for next year.
-
"What a lovely cottage the website didn’t do it justice."
We couldn’t Believe it when we got there it looked small from the outside but turned out to be a tardis. We absolutely loved our stay there. I could lay in bed & watch the sunrise over the sea & watch the tide coming in & the huge beach. It was spectacular. We enjoyed reading about the history & renovation of the cottage which has been done sympathetically & to a very high standard. Loved it thank you & would love to come back.
-
"Loved this holiday cottage and so did our girls."
Will definitely be trying to book for next year
-
"The location of SUNRISE is fabulous for many reasons especially the morning sunrise and views out to sea."
A place to be able to walk along the beach (subject to tide times) and promenade and to be able 'switch off' and enjoy life!! The parking space provided is an excellent addition as the area in front (across the road) of the cottage is difficult when Filey is busy with visitors. Due to local authority restrictions, there is no parking allowed directly in front of the cottage. The WiFi connection (as instructed) worked well in the conservatory behind the cottage. The layout of the cottage is excellent. It has all 'white goods' and equipment. Useful to do some washing before we returned home!! The cottage was very clean upon arrival and with furnishings and decorations to a high standard. SUNRISE is very comfortable and cosy. Spacious for four people to stay. We do not have a pet but the house did not have any traces of any pets being 'on holiday' before us when we arrived. We ate in house as there is a well-known supermarket not far away to purchase our needs very well. We have already booked for later in the year when we again will look forward to our break at SUNRISE and enjoy all that it has to offer.

"The position is wonderful."
Able to see the sea at all times, through all windows. The weather was brilliant so we enjoyed walks from the house. Very comfortable. Filey is friendly with a variety of shops and great fish and chips. We are going again!

The property
This beautiful detached cottage rests on the sea front of Filey, boasting panoramic views over the magnificent stretch of sand that is Filey Bay, with Filey Brigg and its shallow rockpools to the north.
Equally perfect for families or couples wishing to escape from the hustle and bustle, Sunrise is an excellent choice for a holiday whatever the season.
Renovated to a precious standard, the ground floor comprises of a dining area, and a cosy lounge where you can snuggle up in front of the TV, which invites warmth to those cooler evenings.
Conveniently, there is also a family bathroom on this level, with a bath and integrated shower.
Follow the natural lighting over to the open-tread spiral staircase, where you can wander up to the delightful bedrooms.
The double bedroom takes you out onto a south-facing Juliet balcony, your own haven to unwind with a warm cup of tea and truly appreciate the unique location.
The second room hosts two single beds, just as promising for a good night's sleep, with a cloakroom dividing the formation.
Discover the small patio/garden area outside, a chance to take in the fresh air, before an exciting day out in Filey and beyond.
The town centre is a very short walk from the cottage, don’t be surprised if you see a brass band playing in the gardens on a Summer Sunday.
The town has 12 pubs and bars, the nearest, the Bon Hommes, is only a stone’s throw away at the top of the hill.
Scarborough, seven miles to the north, was Britain’s first seaside resort.
It has an attractive and still working fishing harbour and a castle that takes you back in time, as well as many typical seaside attractions that cater for all tastes.
Not far is the solitude and beauty of the North Yorkshire Moors as well as the coastal town of Whitby, famous for being the home of legendary Captain Cook and fictional home of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and the very picturesque coastal hamlet of Robin Hoods Bay.
Golfers can enjoy Filey golf club, just one mile from the cottage.
All of which just add to the appeal of this lovely little hideaway by the sea.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
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.
