  • "The apartment was lovely."

    Location was brilliant for visiting surrounding towns. The Bay holiday complex was lovely.

    So nice to read your kind comments and very pleased to find that you had enjoyed your stay. Kind regards, Jeanette Property Owner

  • "The best holiday property we have stayed in."

    It has all the home comforts you could wish for, and only minutes from the beach. Every time we have stayed it has been a different experience exploring new places. A hidden gem and magical. Look forward to our next adventure. Thank you.

    Thank you for your positive comments. I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay once again and look forward to welcoming you back. Kind regards, Jeanette Property Owner

    Thoughtful extras provided. Made our holiday extra special having such a clean and cosy property to stay in. The Bay itself is friendly with a lovely restaurant and friendly staff. Our Dog was most welcome so we enjoyed long beautiful Beach walks. Excellent Autumn break and in such a beautiful part of the Country. Thankyou for a wonderful time. Highly recommend to all.

    Everything you could ask for. Clean, comfortable, nicely decorated and lovely welcome pack. We gave up on the Bay as the accommodation we'd booked via the Bay directly was very poor and the reception staff unhelpful. We're so glad we can book via Sykes Cottages, as we can book specific holiday lets, read the reviews and hear from the owners directly. A more personalised service. We will be back!

    Many thanks Rebecca for your kind feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and found the apartment appealing. We look forward to your return. Jeanette and Wayne Property Owner

    I have been to cottages where welcome hampers have been promised and have either not existed or have been a poor excuse, so this was a very good start. I feel that the outside of the building where the entrance door is was letting the area down, the paint is stained and just looks neglected which is a real shame as the rest of the village is pristine. My hosts texted to make sure all was well and to thank me for stripping the bed etc. I would definitely book it again should I return .

  • "Fantastic stay in the property, comfortable, clean, loved the wee hamper and the hosts were super helpful and responsive."

    Only flaw I found is not specific to this property and the facilities inside which as mentioned were fantastic, but the path leading to the front door of the entrance hall for all of the properties in this part of the building, was uneven and I actually tripped at this part and hurt my ankle as a result. It was not that obvious to spot, especially after a 6 hour drive and moving luggage inside, it was easy to miss. As mentioned, this is no fault of the owners of the property, who were super helpful when I mentioned this happened and let me know about the pharmacy in the bay and had left ice in the freezer, though I suspect not with this purpose in mind but very helpful nonetheless. 10/10 property though, will be back.

    Thank you for your kind comments about the apartment. We were so sorry to hear about your twisted ankle and do hope that you have made a full recovery. The footpath has been reported to the managers of the site. We look forward to your return. Property Owner

  • "I booked this property for my daughter, her partner and dog."

    The property itself was fine, clean and well equipped. Unfortunately the problems arising were beyond the control of the owner. For two nights running, abusive rowdy neighbours disturbed their sleep. Then a local farmer sprayed his field with slurry. Country smells are not a problem, but the stench of slurry was so unbearable they had to keep the windows firmly shut and stay away from the property as much as possible! Not a happy experience. Unfortunately we would not recommend this site or property.

    Thank you for your feedback and I am glad that you found Nett's Coastal Escape fine, clean and well equipped. I was very surprised to read about the issues with rowdy neighbours, something that I have not come across on this family site during the seven years I have owned this apartment. A security number was provided in the Welcome book and if I had been contacted when the problem arose I would have contacted the site managers myself to resolve the matter. Regarding the country smell, as you have mentioned, this was out of my control, and as far as I am aware this is not a regular occurrence on the holiday site. Kind regards, Jeanette Property Owner

The property

This stylish first floor apartment is set within a superb modern holiday village, The Bay, just three miles from the traditional seaside resort of Filey.

With direct access to miles of golden sands, Nett's Coastal Escape is perfect for couples and their four legged friends for a relaxing break by the sea!

Bright and cheerful, the apartment is well-appointed, with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

There is an open plan living area, tastefully furnished and a pretty bedroom, with a quality mattress and linens, ensuring a good night's sleep.

Surrounded by communal grounds, guests have inclusive use of a indoor swimming pool, sauna and steam room.

For the more adventurous, activities are available, or why not spend a relaxing afternoon at the beauty salon - everyone is catered for.

A pleasant stroll, although steep brings you to beautiful long sandy beaches, whilst Filey itself, retains it's original quaintness and charm, with two promenades, brightly painted beach huts and it's unique coble landing for small fishing boats.

Enjoy a bracing walk on Filey Brigg, or visit nearby Bempton RSPB Reserve to see the nesting sea birds, including puffins and gannets.

The nearby Yorkshire Wolds are well worth exploring and art lovers may wish to follow the Hockney trail to discover the gentle landscapes which inspired his famous paintings.

With the larger towns of Scarborough and Bridlington just a few minutes' drive, Nett's Coastal Escape is perfect for a varied and interesting 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.
