“We had a great time at White Rose Cottage in Filey.”

The house was gorgeous, warm, and had everything you could possibly need for a short or lengthy stay. It was clean and spacious and would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay. Our only criticism is that the bed was very hard and we struggled to sleep. The house was fantastic but we really didn't sleep at all. A more comfortable bed would make us book this house time and time again.

- Mrs Morley, November 2019
“Short holiday in Filey”

My wife and I took our young grandsons to Filey staying at White Rose Cottage and we had a great time. The cottage is very clean , modern and well situated for travels along the East Coast.

“Perfect stay yet again!!”

Another wonderful holiday at White Rose Cottage for me and my family. This is a wonderful house fantastically well maintained and provides a perfect base for our holidays. The bedrooms are a great size and living room Is ideal for a young family. The free wi-fi also keeps our children entertained! The on site facilities are much improved and there are lots to do for adults and children alike. The bay itself is a great location with direct beach access which the children love. Helen can’t do enough to help and makes every stay we have there perfect. I would highly recommend anyone thinking of booking this cottage to do so straight away. I know we will be!

“White Rose Cottage”

Had a great stay.. lovely cottage with great facilities... spacious and clean throughout.. fantastic location.. only 5 mins walk to the beach... and even less to the on-site leisure club and pub... The Bay complex itself is immaculate.. definitely recommended.. and will definitely look to stay again...

“We enjoyed an excellent stay at White Rose Cottage , everyone including the grandkids found plenty to do in the surrounding area.”

- Mr Yorke, October 2019
“Very nice and well appointed house in a great location.”

The Cantrell heating is controlled by a locked hive system which meant we couldn’t increase the setting on cool nights, or turn on the towel rail to dry off our towels after showering. There isn’t a single light in the house which is bright enough to read by in the evening either, which could be easily rectified. Final niggle was that in supplying an abundance of kitchen utensils, crockery and gadgets to cater for an army, there was no cupboard space left for our own food supplies. These are minor issues, which I mention as having paid for a first class experience, it took the edge off. I fully expect to return next year and see the owner has taken steps to address the issues.

- Mrs Killerby, August 2019

Dear Mrs Killerby, Thank you for your feedback. I'm very sorry that your expectations were not met. We will review al of the points raised , we will look to increase the brightness of our low energy bulbs and review the number of utensils in the cupboards. Our Hive system is preset according to the time of year. You should have been able to change the temperature at the themostat , which is situated in the hallway .if this was not possible then please let me know and I will arrange for a British Gas engineer to go out as soon as possible and fix the thermostat. We are really grateful for your feedback as We strive to ensure that all our guests have an outstanding visitor experience. Kindest regards, Helen and Richard Sykes owner relations
“We enjoyed our stay.”

Comfortable accommodation. As older guests we found the height of the bath side and placement of taps made getting in the bath difficult. Only disappointment was the on site pub. Food not to expected standards. We will be booking again. Thank you.

- Mrs Warnock, July 2019
“Beautiful like home from home me and my husband took our granddaughter on her first weeks holiday she's 5 and she absolutely loved it the beach is around 10 minutes walk away and it's a beautiful beach.”

The complex is dog friendly which is a bonus so we brought our shih-tzu Rosie highly recommended

“Quality of the bay site.”

- Mr Cobb, July 2019
“Perfect stay at White Rose Cottage”

We stayed at the cottage in June and we had the perfect stay. The cottage has modern decor throughout and was spotlessly clean. The cottage is really spacious and was equipped with everything we needed for our stay, including free WiFi and Netflix. It’s just a short stroll to the pub which served lovely food and has indoor and outdoor seating areas, it’s also just a short walk to beach. The cottage has a lovely outside BBQ and seating area and plenty of parking. We had the perfect trip and will definitely be returning. We have recommended the cottage to family and friends.

- Turners1978, July 2019
“Excellent cottage 3rd time staying in it, brilliant for the dog recess to a lovely long sandy beech, five mile drive of Scarborough 20 ish to whitby.”

.. Who needs foreign holidays the east coast in the sun beats it every time. Already re booked for 2020

- Mrs Willsea, June 2019
“Amazing cottage - stunning location five star stay”

Stunning cottage situated on site in a fantastic location, 2 minuets walk to amenities and 5 minuets to the Beach. The cottage was equipped with everything you could need and was spotless could not find a fault. A home from home. The beach is very clean and dog friendly as is the site. Both the swimming pool and gym were great, staff were very helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend a stay at White Rose Cottage, five star will definitely be returning

- Nomad22500139573, June 2019
“Perfect stay”

I visited with my family and dogs in April and had a perfect stay. The accommodation has absolutely everything you need for a family as well as being comfortable and spacious. The location is ideal with a short walk to the beach leading to a stunning walk to Filey. The on-site pub is dog friendly with an extensive itinerary of entertainment for all. It was an extremely enjoyable break and we will definitely be returning. I have recommended to family and friends and look forward to my next visit.

- TraceFisher, June 2019
“I wasn't able to find out how close the parking was the cottage before I booked.”

Also, no instructions for the dishwasher and didn't seem to want to work for us.

- Mrs Robinson, May 2019
“Lovely little cottage”

I stayed at White Rose Cottage for a week in March with my Mum and 2 year old girl. We had a wonderful time. The cottage is just perfect. Just like a home from home. All the mod cons and very well maintained. There is a large double with enough room for a travel cot and a twin. There is a family bathroom and a toilet downstairs too. There is a lovely outside searing area with parking just outside the house too. The site itself again is well maintained. This is my third visit to The Bay and it won't be the last. There is an indoor pool, play area, games room, pub and a pizzeria/coffee shop on site. There are lots of places in the area to visit too. I would highly recommend White Rose Cottage to anyone looking to stay at The Bay.

- Lisabrad15, May 2019
“We have no reservations in recommending this beautiful cottage.”

- Mrs Welch, February 2019
“Cottage was in the ideal location for travelling to Scarborough and whitby, plus you were a five minute walk from the beach.”

- Mrs Willsea, February 2019
“Happy days”

Loved our week at White Rose Cottage in August. Was lovely and clean and so well equipped. Our host was really helpful and friendly. The village is great, only a few minute walk from the beach and central for days out. Can't wait to go again

- Ann A, September 2018
“Fantastic stay at Whiterose Cottage- Filey”

My family and I stayed at the whiterose cottage at The Bay in Filey for a week in August. The cottage is very well presented throughout, and lovely and clean. It’s in a perfect location and in walking distance to Filey beach. We will definitely be booking again and would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks again Charlotte

- charlieasdavison, September 2018
“The accomodation was excellent.”

The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to selfcater. The beds were very comfortable. We particularly enjoyed having very good WiFi and access to Netflix etc. Having a downstairs toilet as well as the upstairs bathroom made life easier for us. We have stayed at the Bay three previous times and this accommodation is the best we have experienced.

- Mrs Swannell, September 2018
“This cottage was exceptional, what a beautiful place the surrounding estate is fabulous safe secure spotless and homely, my Husband myself and our little dog had a great week we did not want to come home.”

Everything you needed was in the cottage very well equipped indeed spotless so very comfy location great it was superb, we will be going back for a definite, good holiday fabulous place. Would highly recommend 10 out of 10. Jackie & Jimmy from Manchester.

- Mrs Stott, September 2018
“Had a great break,just what was needed.”

Would recommend anytime.

- Mr Hardy, September 2018
“The Bay is lovely, not crowded.”

Dog friendly pub, beach, swimming pool, park, tennis court, archery etc. It was nice walk to the beach, very scenic. Only one thing missing is a shop on site, there is a chemist which sells essentials such as milk and bread but we went in and they had sold out. Tesco is only 3 miles away though and there's a spa shop a mile away but sometimes you don't always want to take your car out. We stayed at White Rose Cottage, would recommend this Cottage to everyone. Weather was beautiful. This is our fourth visit to Filey. For somewhere different to eat and it is dog friendly, we would recommend Royal Oak pub, Hummanby, there's a soft play upstairs, park and lovely food. Overall we had a very nice holiday. Thank you Sykes Cottages.

- Mrs Queenan, August 2018
“Second visit to White Rose Cottage and it was just as perfect as the first.”

Lovely accommodation, clean, comfortable and very well equipped. Highly recommended.

- Mrs Richards, July 2018
“The cottage was beautiful and had everything plus more in it no need to take washing up liquid tea coffee sugar it was all in there fully equipped sold it short.”

The Bay was a ideal base to visit Scarborough and Whitby and was perfect if you had a dog as the Bay was so dog friendly everyone there at the time of year we went march had a dog and it was only a ten minute walk to a beach and your dog could go off lead on the walk to and on the beach.The insight leaisure centre was spotless and ideal for a swim and the steam and sauna rooms were lovely. Our son used the gym which was fully equipped. Will go again.

- Mrs Willsea, March 2018
“The information sent to us by the owners prior to our stay was very comprehensive and everything was thought of.”

on arrival the cottage was warm and clean a super welcome on a dull day, all the extras in the kitchen are a bonus, not what you get when you normally book let only accommodation, for example, extra crockery, a wide selection of glass wear, huge selection of oven wear and utensils, how often have you holidayed and not had enough utensils to even rustle up a full breakfast for four? all i needed was at white rose cottage. even a selection of melamine plates/bowls for outdoor use of for younger guests in your holiday party. and a slow cooker, throw it all in in the morning switch on, set off for a hike across the moors or a walk over Filey Brigg and its ready on your return. dishwasher and washer/dryer in kitchen also. the lounge area was light bright airy and very comfortably furnished. the bedrooms were comfortable with beautifully clean linen and towels provided. the second bedroom was more than adequate for our 14&12 yr. old for space and comfort, with beds different ends of the room to give them each space and their own storage & lamp. the bathroom had a good shower and large bath with constant hot water supply. a small well kept area outside patio doors to have a bbq and sit at the garden furniture. the free Wi-Fi coped with multiple devices connected at once. The Bay as a site is well kept. we used the pub for a drink but lots were having meals there they looked good. the swimming pool has long opening hours and the times we used it, it was clean and of a reasonable temperature. i consider a week at white rose cottage to be good value for money and we certainly were not dissapointed

- Mrs Barber, March 2018
“We stayed at White Rose cottage at The Bay over new year.”

Excellent home from home cottage with everything we needed and more besides, especially the little touches such as the unlimited WiFi and the smart TVs . Also the bottle of fizz on arrival was much appreciated. Thanks again.

- Mr Carr, December 2017
“half term break with two teenage daughters”

We booked this as an early week away with our 2 teenage daughters and we absolutely loved this place. The site was such a pleasant holiday village to stay on. yes, there was still building work ongoing, (as mentioned in many other reviews) but this didn't impact negatively on our stay one bit. There was plenty to do in the area and we enjoyed a walk into Filey along the stunning stretch of beach. An evening stroll often ended up with a brief walk on the Sands. we didn't try Lorenzo's other than to buy some take out Ice creams (it was a scorcher of a week so ice cream and the odd visit to the pub were a must) but we did enjoy a meal at Valentino's just on the main road outside the complex for our wedding anniversary. highly recommended. We took part in archery, the girls hired the tennis courts and used the pool. so I think we fully took advantage of the facilities The Bay has to offer. I also managed to arrange a shopping delivery from Asda, for just after we arrived, so no holiday time wasted looking for a shop. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and we do think we'll return one day. would defo recommend.

The property

Filey 3 miles.

White Rose Cottage is a fabulous excuse to explore the stunning Yorkshire Coast and beautiful countryside.

The cottage has been designed, furnished and equipped with the holidaymaker in mind ensuring a most enjoyable, comfortable and relaxing stay whilst here at The Bay.

The open plan sitting room offers a spacious and comfortable living area, complete with dining table.

French doors lead out onto a small, private south-facing patio, an ideal place to sit and relax, whilst enjoying a morning coffee and planning your day ahead.

The cottage sits at the heart of this pretty holiday village, with all the facilities within a short stroll and with private access to a glorious golden sandy beach.

With a great choice of activities on your doorstep, including fishing, bike hire, tennis and a putting green, you can leave your car parked up for your entire stay!

There is a pub nearby serving food, or for a more intimate dining experience there is an Italian restaurant.

The Blue Flag beach provides a five mile playground and is perfect for flying a kite, snoozing in a deckchair or building a sandcastle.

A delightful walk along the shore will bring you into Filey, which is refreshingly different and after one visit you are sure to be addicted.

The town offers something for everyone, but it remains unspoilt and retains an Edwardian elegance.

There is a great choice of places to eat, some quirky shops for a memorable souvenir and Filey's very own Coble Landing with its colourful boats and kiosks.

For children, the nearby Playdale Farm Park is a must, come rain or shine as there is a huge indoor play area and interactive paddocks where children can join in and feed the animals.

The countryside around and about provides an endless choice for walkers, cyclists, history buffs and anyone wanting to enjoy the beauty all around.

The surrounding area has so much to offer, with the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Wolds, cliff-top walks at Flamborough Head and stately homes such as Burton Agnes Hall and Sledmere House to visit.

A well-placed cottage, with no shortage of things to do!

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.

Note: Between the dates of 4th November to 15th December the leisure centre will be under renovation with no access to the pool, sauna and steam room. The gymnasium will still be accessible.
However, there will be access to the Flower of May campsite swimming pool Monday to Friday. Access is complimentary with the Bay leisure pass.
