  • "The house is lovely, it’s our second time staying and I’ve already booked twice for 2025."

    I think this time though the cleaners lacked a little and missed some things, which is not the owners fault at all We had an issue with the microwave and after contacting Sykes the owner called me straight away which I thought was exceptional

  • "The property was in good order and had all we needed to make a comfortable stay."

    We have stayed on the Bay five times now and this property is a first with the walk in shower to cater for all abilities which was an added bonus. There is a number of small maintenance items that need attending at some stage, the shower door has a screw located at the door runner left hand side at top that needs fixing to the door track wheel. The glass cabinet in the kitchen the door needs some adjustment as it sticks when opening and closing. The cabinet lights two of them kept flickering, one of them you could hear arcing as it makes and breaks contact. Overall we would stay here again should we look at returning to Filey in 2025 or thereafter

  • "Nice sized holiday home."

    In a great location which is only a minute walk to the pool/pub and a short walk to the beach. The home has everything you need. It was nice and warm and comfy beds . The only negative is that it is looking a bit tired although that was probably reflected by the price. We would stay again.

  • "Overall we had a lovely time at the Bay."

    Cottage was cosy, clean & comfortable. Good instructions for facilities. Walk in shower much better than a shower over the bath. A few of niggles, righthand side of patio doors wouldn't open. Freezer door kept falling off therefore a build up of ice. Glass cupboard door felt as though it would drop off anytime. Otherwise we were very happy with the cottage.

    Lovely house with comfortable beds and settees which is absolutely vital. Only complaint - can the bottom of the 3 bed bedroom have its door planed so it doesn’t catch the carpet and wake other occupants, same with bathroom door please. We plan to book again for next year.

    Spotlessly clean with attention to detail. Obviously on a complex so not for those who seek a rural retreat . We loved the easy access to the beach and the added bonus of pool and steam room. Only downside is all spaces are open so no garden for dog/ children. We love the area and this was a great base . Booked the Bay again in June sadly this property was already reserved .

    … A beautiful well appointed cottage, everything you could possibly need and more, welcome pack is a lovely touch and a great starter for newbys that haven’t been to the bay before. The cleaning could be better ( as we’ve noticed in other cottages/apartments ) and the bedding ( duvet cover ) was bitty and extremely tired looking, obviously out of the owners hands and really didn’t detract from the fabulous break we enjoyed, just thought it should be mentioned. Many thanks Diane J.

    Blue Skye has everything that you would need and is in a lovely location. Particularly love the layout of this property and having a double bed in the second bedroom is a great idea. Mostly there are single beds or bunk beds. For us extra marks for comfortable beds as in the majority of accommodations the mattresses are far too soft. Thank you.

    It provided a great base to make into our personal space. It was clean and had lots of additional extra equipment e.g. icemaker, slow cooker etc. The listing on the website shows a picture of a bath. A shower unit has been installed in 2021. Not a problem, but do like a soak. The property had its usual wear and tear issues, but in view of footfall not surprised. My view is if we all treat it as our own, the next guest is less inclined to feel that the property needs further cleaning. We had a great stay. Thank you.

  • "The cottage was fabulous, every creature comfort you could imagine and so much more."

    We’ve stayed at the bay Filey a few times now and find the privately owned property’s are far in front of the holding company’s. An abundance of tea and coffee in all forms as well as a welcome pack which apart from the biscuit ( which were scrumptious ) was not really necessary as with the cleaning welcome pack, so many products under the sink ! The bed was very comfortable and the shower always hot, plenty of towels and clean smelling bedding. The large jar of dog treats were very much enjoyed! The only down side was the dirty finger marks on most of the cupboards in the kitchen ( of which I cleaned most of them off ) and the small tvs upstairs. Over all a wonderful week of home from home relaxation, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this cottage Blue Skye to any one who asked. Lovely.

    The beds were exceptionally comfy and very good quality, mattresses, bedding and pillows. You may laugh but when you sleep well the holiday is a holiday! The place accepts dogs but as non dog owners we were pleased to find that it didn't smell of dogs and wasn't much evidence of them being there before us. Very homely and well equipped. Loved our stay. The bay itself is a lovely well kept resort. quiet (at least in January ) we had no parking issues and enjoyed the use of the archery, table tennis and swimming pool. Proximity to beach is fab down a well maintained path. Only improvement I could think of is an outside tap for washing boots (and dogs) after a welly walk on the beach. Perhaps the site has one that I didn't see?

This was not the case as it was not fixed by the time we left. When we had family visitors for a day it meant we had one toilet for seven of us, which was not ideal,hence why I booked a house with two toilets.

The property

Filey 3 miles.

This modern, end-terrace property is situated on The Bay holiday village, just three miles from the traditional seaside town of Filey.

This family-friendly accommodation is ideal for enjoying the extensive on-site facilities, along with direct access to an expansive, beautiful sandy beach.

There is a comfortable sitting room with a dining area and French doors opening onto a small private patio, just perfect for a morning coffee in the sunshine.

The separate kitchen caters for all needs and includes an icemaking machine and slow cooker, while upstairs are two bedrooms, with the double having an additional TV, a dressing area and a double wardrobe for convenience.

The second bedroom has one small double and one single bed.

Outside are extensive communal grounds with two lakes, barbecues and picnic areas for guests to enjoy, while the popular pub and cafe are just a five-minute walk.

On the complex is a leisure centre with a large indoor heated swimming pool, children's pool, sauna and steam room, which guests have unlimited access to.

Outdoor pursuits include tennis courts, a fishing lake and putting green, or why not relax with a beauty treatment whilst the children partake in a snorkelling lesson?

A pleasant stroll brings you to a glorious beach, whilst the traditional charm of Filey will not fail to please, with its pretty promenades, colourful beach huts and unique coble landing for fishing boats.

Go rockpooling and crabbing on Filey Brigg, take an exhilarating clifftop walk or visit the nearby animal farm.

A little further along the coast lies Flamborough Head and Bempton RSPB Reserve, abounding with nesting seabirds on the chalk cliffs, including puffins in the summer months, a sight not to be missed.

With the larger resorts of Scarborough, Whitby and Bridlington close by and the rolling countryside of the Wolds to explore, this welcoming property provides an ideal base for an excellent holiday.

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.
