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

Thank you

Thank you

- Mrs Swift, 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
“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
“Perfect.”

- Mr Ireland, September 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
“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
“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
“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
“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
“4th time at the bay ideal location”

- Mr Roles, 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
“Lovely village and site.”

Beach was great for dog walking.

- Mrs Holland, December 2018
“The apartment was well appointed and cosy.”

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

- Ms Simms, November 2018
“Perfect little getaway in a lovely place.”

Exactly what we were looking for.

- Mr Snowden, October 2018
“Relaxing and the site was ideal for my needs”

- Mrs Tonge, 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
“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
“Access on arrival is difficult to find.”

- Mr Burke, September 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
“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
“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
“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
