“Brilliant place, the flat was very comfortable.”

Just a small amount of TLC would make this absolutely perfect.

Mrs Curran October 2020

“A lovely place to stay, very dog friendly.”

We had a lovely few days, would definitely come back

- Mrs Curran, October 2020
Mr Ridge October 2020

“Seafarers Retreat is a very clean and well presented apartment which is on the small side but very functional and comfortable for 2 people (and our 2 small dogs).”

Location is really good being directly opposite all the amenities and only a short and very pleasant stroll to the beach. This is a very well maintained mini village made up of good quality accommodation and I would definitely recommend staying here for a short break

- Mr Ridge, October 2020
Mrs Peniston October 2020

“Lovely property ideally located just across the road from the pub and swimming pool.”

Had everything we needed. Good quality high chair and cot. Only negatives were the bathroom needs a repaint and new bath. Cracks in the panel and grubby looking especially the shower head. Also we didn't use the cooker because when we looked inside it seemed unclean and the trays provided were well worn and greasy

- Mrs Peniston, October 2020
Mr Duncan September 2020

“Great overall holiday, top location in a spotless property.”

5 stars experience.

- Mr Duncan, September 2020
Mr Teather August 2020

“Surfaces and floors dirty, pillows dirty and mattress soft and uncomfortable.”

Found shower screen over edge of bath and bath panel cracked + lots more.

- Mr Teather, August 2020
Mr Blair August 2020

“No welcome pack on arrival after 3 hour drive.”

Dishwasher leaked all over the floor. Patio furniture falling apart and no cushions.

- Mr Blair, August 2020
Mrs Sykes August 2020

“The cottage was lovely,every thing you wanted.”

Nice clean bay not far from the beach,if you are bad at walking,it's down hill.Lovley pub John Paul you can just drink outside because they keep tables for meals and closed at 10pm.The bay was super quiet on a night,We slept like a log.The apartment had a super location.The cleaning staff need to pay more attention to hygiene with covid 19 being around.I took antibacterial wipes and wiped everything down when we arrived,only to find a long hair on the work top and the bottom of the bath was full of them.It wouldnt stop me from going on another Sykes Holiday.

- Mrs Sykes, August 2020
Miss Butterfield July 2020

“Having stayed here last July I was disappointed to see the broken parts were still broken plus more.”

Sweeping brush snapped at the base still there a year later!! Floors and windows filthy. Dust under bed where parasol is stored was thick. Shower door has green slime on the plastic. Dishwasher black and slimy pots came out dirtier. The chopping board was stained grey. Kitchen bin dirty. Black cobwebs in living room. Broken blinds. Had to request bedding for campbed as was missing but was delivered quickly after texting. Had number as I was called on arrival day due to a leak that needed fixing. Considering covid, would expect more cleaning not less. Leaving day cleaner entered at 9.30 despite checkout at 10. We were out back loading car to go so our son was in alone, thankfully not for long. Not sure of the rush considering how little they do. We do love the area and The Bay resort so will book a different property next time, likely a house as walls are paper thin and upstairs apartment had insomniac elephants which didn't help.

- Miss Butterfield, July 2020
Mrs Scott July 2020

“Great location.”

Lovely apartment. Fab place for taking the dogs. Would definitely go again.

- Mrs Scott, July 2020
Mrs Holmes February 2020

“We had a wonderful stay at Seafarers.”

It is a lovely apartment.Clean, lovely and warm and an amazing shower and bath! Everything you need for a great stay is here! The location is fabulous also.Across from the pharmacy, a lovely pizza place, the swimming pool and the pub! Couldnt get any better! We realised we were going to arrive in the middle of storm Dennis.As a visually impaired woman I really didnt want to negotiate my long cane and unpack in the high winds. I text Peter and asked if it was possible to arrive early. Peter got straight back to me with a kind message saying go ahead. This was a great help. If you are thinking of stopping at Seafarers, do it. You wont be dissapointed!

- Mrs Holmes, February 2020
Mrs Mcdonagh February 2020

“Description spot on.”

Instructions on how to enter property and control heating could be clearer. Could do with extra storage for food in kitchen. Great to be able to access beach from The Bay. Nice pool and pub.

- Mrs Mcdonagh, February 2020
Mr Allen October 2019

“A very enjoyable stay at seafarers retreat all be it short.”

We were left wishing we had stayed longer. The property was clean, well equipped and very close to the leisure center for a swim and sauna. A short walk to the beach and and quick drive to Filey and Scarborough. We would love to come back again as a weekend was not long enough. Thank you to the owners Peter and Gwyn.

- Mr Allen, October 2019
Mrs Swift September 2019

“Excellent location on The Bay and very dog friendly.”

Thank you

- Mrs Swift, September 2019
Mr Ireland September 2019

“Perfect.”

- Mr Ireland, September 2019
Mr Blaylock September 2019

“There was a dishwasher but no tablets, a sink without a dishcloth, a washing machine/tumble dryer with instructions in a foreign language.”

A heating system which we could not understand but is was warm enough to forget about that. There was a posh towel rail in the bathroom but could find a way of turning it on

- Mr Blaylock, September 2019
Mrs Barker September 2019

“We enjoyed our holiday in the bay, everywhere was kept clean and tidy, even though there were lots of dogs staying with their owners.”

The one thing I missed was having a shop on site to get a newspaper/bread/milk in the mornings. We will definitely use Sykes Cottages again and recommend to friends/family.

- Mrs Barker, September 2019
Miss Beadsmoore August 2019

“The apartment was really nice and only 10 minutes walk to the lovely beach.”

The site was lovely but disappointing due to the only 1 pub which didn't do any entertainment for adults and the food wasn't great plus there was only a pharmacy on site no shop apart from that we had a nice time.

- Miss Beadsmoore, August 2019
Mr Masters August 2019

“Lack of food storage in kitchen, basic accommodation for price payed, main bedroom clean, bath had Black Mood round edge shower area so felt not to use this, Main swimming pool very good, other facilities rather poor, no real information on other local attractions, rely heavy on people using WiFi, for that, Local Pub very poor service , like to over charge for drinks.”

We were told on Tuesday night when we went for a meal, Pub Stop cooking at 8.15 p.m because they had a Busy Day so we didn't bother going over there again . Maxine and Robert Masters

- Mr Masters, August 2019
Mrs Careless June 2019

“The Seafearers retreat was just lovely , so cosy !”

Very clean on arrival . The Bay at Filey is just perfect , everyone is just so friendly . The beach is very close , and the sun had his hat on for 3 of our days which just made it that extra special x we will be returning x

- Mrs Careless, June 2019
Mrs COOPER May 2019

“A lovely apartment answer a lovely holiday village.”

Will book again however the bathroom floor was quite dirty on my arrival and I cleaned it myself. But attention to detail like that must be priority.

- Mrs COOPER, May 2019
Mrs Heath May 2019

“We are always pleased to visit seafarers retreat as it has a great location and all the facilities are in place !”

Only thing that I could say is that the mattress is getting to be a little uncomfortable but nothing bad and also the bedroom furniture could do with renewing as it's a little tired I think but that's just my opinion ! We had another happy stay there we just didn't have so good weather this time.

- Mrs Heath, May 2019
Mr Roles March 2019

“4th time at the bay ideal location”

- Mr Roles, March 2019
Mrs Turnbull March 2019

“Don't count on the internet connection.”

Luckily we had other plans. Great beach, lovely place with everything you need. Loved it! The place was very dog friendly and the dogs were friendly too

- Mrs Turnbull, March 2019
Mrs Holland December 2018

“Lovely village and site.”

Beach was great for dog walking.

- Mrs Holland, December 2018
Ms Simms November 2018

“The apartment was well appointed and cosy.”

It was great to be so close to all the onsite amenities.

- Ms Simms, November 2018
Mr Snowden October 2018

“Perfect little getaway in a lovely place.”

Exactly what we were looking for.

- Mr Snowden, October 2018
Mrs Tonge September 2018

“Relaxing and the site was ideal for my needs”

- Mrs Tonge, September 2018
Mrs Giddings September 2018

“First time using Sykes , would definitely use and recommend them to friends and family as you kept in touch with us pre , during and post holiday .”

- Mrs Giddings, September 2018
Mr Smith September 2018

“This is an excellent and well equipped holiday home on a lovely complex.”

Close to all amenities and a short walk to a great beach. Never seen so many well behaved dogs on holiday but both beach and complex were very clean. The apartment was just what you want in a holiday home, comfortable and relaxing. One small niggle, the plates, dishes are stored in the top cupboard which is a challenge if you're not very tall. I would highly recommend both the apartment and the complex and will definitely return.

- Mr Smith, September 2018
Mr Burke September 2018

“Access on arrival is difficult to find.”

- Mr Burke, September 2018
Mrs Sherratt August 2018

“Apartment well appointed for beach and amenities.”

My search criteria included parking, however, parking in this holiday village is first come first served, no allocated parking and there are insufficient parking bays for the number of cars at the time we visited. Struggled to get the luggage in and out with a young child as we couldn't park near the door so to list with parking is misleading. Disappointed with the cleanliness, could have done with a good fettle. Insufficient towels and bedding for three guests, towels provided not up to scratch, bedding had a hole in it and what looked like paw print stains. Found it quite noisy due to herd of elephants staying in apartment above. Not for us, would not book again, property not a great reflection on Sykes.

- Mrs Sherratt, August 2018
Mr Heaps July 2018

“A really good location, in a very well equipped apartment , in a part of England that is certainly worth a visit, enjoyed all aspects of the week.”

- Mr Heaps, July 2018
Mrs Shields July 2018

“We had the loveliest holiday the only drawback being both my husband and i are in our seventies so the walk to the beach was a bit hard on us but it didn't stop us going once we were down it was fantastic our little Jack Russel dog Toby had the time of his life in the sea swimming everyday The apartment was nice and comfy a real home from home feeling, good food at the pub staff very helpful and friendly we thought the lay out of the Bay was very good indeed ticked all the boxes.”

We will visit again that's for sure. Anna and Bill Shields Scotland ky25yt .

- Mrs Shields, July 2018
Mrs Cartledge June 2018

“I had a lot of trouble finding the key, round more than the building, had to get a sicurity man.”

I am small and found. Getting the cups,plates ect was standing on a chair which at 83 was dangerence. The hot water was hard to get. The bath was high with two taps plus two taps for shower. The sink tap to empty was hard for me but I did work it out. I had to ask for help with the opening of the windows and patio doors. But I had a really good experience so much to do, clean, friendly staff at pharmacy, pub, pool. I have given people the 10 out of 10

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: Please be advised that the Swimming Pool will be closed between 4th November - 16th December 2019
