“Property was in need of attention/repairs.”

Smell at property unpleasant - did not go throughout week. Broken blind in bedroom. Squashed and bloodied insect on ceiling in bedroom. Freezer compartment in fridge/freezer broken.
Mr Rothwell July 2019

“Excellent loved it”
Mr Branchett June 2019

“Nice place, limited to staying on site unless you have transport .”

Well maintained and very clean staff in the Pub/restaurant were all very good. Never seen so many dogs at one location so if you are taking one then make sure it gets on with other dogs.
Mr Naisby June 2019

“Had a great stay.”

Comfortable bed. Apartment could do with a bit of TLC. Poor mobile phone service to the area. So WiFi would have been nice.
Ms Sullivan April 2019

Miss Proctor March 2019

“Great little apartment.”

The bay is good place to stop. Great for the dogs and very well looked after
Mrs Jackson March 2019

“Dishwasher/dryer/oven not working.”

Freezer door in fridge hanging off so unusable. Five light bulbs needed replacing when we arrived. Cracked sink in bathroom. Mould on seal under shower screen. Other than that, the apartment was lovely and none of it spoilt our holiday. If these things have been fixed, I would certainly recommend this apartment, otherwise not.
Ms Davies-Hunt January 2019

“We really enjoyed our stay at Blue Bay View.”

It was very clean and comfortable. I’d stay there again but needs a few things looking at that let it down and could be easily fixed. The blind in the bedroom needs renewing, we had to cover it to stop the light coming through. The dishwasher wasn’t working, I don’t use one anyway so not a problem for me but could be for some. That space could’ve been more useful for food storage, there’s hardly any. The fridge needs replacing or fixing.
Mrs Russell December 2018

“We've booked to stay at The Bay several times now.”

Book every time through Sykes Cottages. We had a great time, as always!
Mr Skellon November 2018

“The apartment was clean warm and welcoming but could have done with a few minor repairs for me to rate it higher, it also would have been useful if more information about the site was made available in the flat to assist us with our stay.”
Mr Martin October 2018

“Overall this was a good holiday and the few small issues that became apparent have been discussed with the owners direct.”

What you should make a little clearer is that there is No on-site shop! The pharmacy does sell some additional items other than Chemist related products but not many.
Mr Cook September 2018

“THE STAFF AND THE LOCALS ARE VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL WHICH MAKES YOUR STAY GREAT”
Mr Buckley September 2018

“A beautiful setting, but a bit of a walk to the beach (20 min).”

This is the problem of Filey and most of the East Yorkshire coast. Well worth the walk however. No WifI, but the set-up in the pub worked well and served good food and beer as well soi no complaints there. The appartment was very good, the only things not working were the dishwasher (we were warned about this by the owner) and a couple of light bulbs in the living room.
Mr Osborne August 2018

“Due to poor mobile phone signal, the apartment would benefit from Wi-fi.”

.
Mrs Deacon August 2018

“After reading the visitors book comments on various aspects, including cleanliness, uncomfortable bed, bedding and towels,I was pleased to see the owners had actioned on the complaints.”

We were impressed with the flat.we used the onsite pub and used Filey Tescos for our supplies as the pharmacy was the only shop on site. There were passes available for the facilities but we didn't use them as we are a mature couple with adult children and prefer a quiet holiday, the arcade and pool etc is quite decrete, no noisy nightclub, crazy golf, fair ground etc. Parking could be an issue as there were no dedicated bays , however it wasn't a huge problem. We struggled to find the flat on arrival as the owners didn't provide a map to the site which would be useful. There is a tv in both the bedroom and the lounge if you like freeview and a DVD player. There is WiFi at the pub. The dishwasher was not working and the owners were kind enough to let us know in advance, however as there is no draining board, washing up by hand was awkward. Overall, we had a nice stay, the flat was in a good location, walking distance to the beach and we walked to Filey along the beach multiple times. Close enough to go to Scarborough, Whitby, York, Bridlington, Robin hood's bay, flamborough. Plenty of room for two adults and two dogs, even though there were lots of dogs on the site we didn't hear any annoying barking and the site was very clean with plenty of bins. There was a 20 mile an hour speed limit as the site has proper roads and footpaths, however I believe there should be speed humps or restrictions or paved areas as there were no crossings. We enjoyed our stay and would visit again.
Mrs Dale August 2018

“Blue Bay View was a great base for our short holiday.”

The beach and pool were within easy walking distance, which was great for my four year old granddaughter, and for the two dogs there was the meadow and lakes a two minute walk away, which had plenty of space to let them off their leads and run free along the many trails. The complex is very well maintained and laid out, offering peace and quiet whilst plenty to do if you wanted it - archery, tennis, putting, small arcade, pub, pharmacy.
Mr Scott August 2018

“A great place to stay and a great place to access the local area for activity and attractions.”

The cottage was first class and was clean and tidy with all the home comfort that you need to relax. A great location quiet and within walking distance to the beach which was clean and tidy. I would recommend blue bay view to all that are looking for a nice relaxing holiday
Mr Mumford June 2018

“The flat was not up to your standard, the dishwasher didn't work at all ,some lights didn't work , mold in the bathroom (we have photos) , dust under the sofa and generally not very clean.”
Mr Hall May 2018

“The location was brilliant the accommodation was fantastic no complaints useful ...”

The location was brilliant the accommodation was fantastic no complaints useful to have instruction booklets on the appliances
Mr Stokes March 2018

“Accommodation needs deep clean, dog hair everywhere.”

Lights in bedroom not working. Reported this to owners on first day but not fixed. Needs more information about use of kitchen equipment and site facilities.
Mrs Mace March 2018

“No Wi-Fi or Mb signal inside this property.”

Should a power boost be installed this would make this property more desrable if we were going to return.
Mrs Coleman February 2018

“Everything was as it should be.”
Mr Glossop January 2018

“The bed was uncomfortable even though the mattress had been replaced recently the chairs and sofa need replacing as they were old and offered no support.”

the WiFi was only obtainable in the on site pub
Andrea S August 2016

“Dog friendly property in beautiful location”

Blue Bay View is a fabulous property in a beautiful location, ideally situated in easy walking distance from Filey Bay Beach. It has everything you would need for a week away, and more. I didn't use the leisure facilities, but they looked to be a high standard, just like everything else in the village. I wanted a place where I could happily take my dog, and this certainly ticked all the boxes. You can quite easily walk to Filey on the sand, and Hunmanby or Reighton in the opposite direction, we enjoyed many walks on the beach, which is relatively quiet and dog friendly. We discovered many pet friendly places along the way, and enjoyed a week where our dog was always accepted. There is so much to do in and around the area, I can highly recommend it and hope to return in the future.
David H July 2016

“Superb Base to Explore the North Yorkshire coast”

Blue Bay View was everything we had hoped for, My Wife Michelle and I and our two Bedlington Terriers enjoyed our stay enormously. All "Mod Cons" and beautifully Presented we would certainly stay there again. We were within a 10 minute walk to a "Private" Beach and within a Five Minute Drive of the most wonderful Beach Side Cafe that served up a perfect "Full English"!........Tucking into your Breakfast looking out over the Beach, Sun beating down, Sound of the waves breaking on the shore.......doesn't get much better! Blue Bay View is ideal if you want a quiet, relaxing break but offers you the opportunity as a "Base" to explore the delights of Bridlington, Scarborough and Whitby as we did. Thank You

About the location

FILEY

Scarborough 7.5 miles; Bridlington 11 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, with donkey rides available on the beach, children’s play areas, 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.
