The house was very comfortable and clean. We all slept well and the beach was just a pleasant walk away. We had great weather too. Dog owners need to be more responsible with their dogs however. We would not hesitate to go again. Property was ideal for a small family.

Family friendly stay
We enjoyed our visit to Lavender cottage. The property was very clean and comfortable for a family of four including two young kids. There were lots of very thoughtful details and the property met our expectations. The communication from the hosts was very good - arrival instructions, updating us on the closure of the pool and very quickly resolving an issue with the boiler. The park is really nice, the beach is beautiful but the pub is really pricey and food quality wasn’t good at all. We wouldn’t go back.

Short stay
Lovely place and everything in the cottage that we needed. It is a long way to the beach, so we parked in Filey and went to the beach there. Used the pool on a rainy morning, but had to wait 20 minutes to get in as it was full. There was unfortunately no system in place to try and improve the throughput, some families after us had a much longer wait. Cottage is perfect

About the host

Hosted by Chris and Jayne

Host profile image
Lavender cottage is owned by Chris and Jayne who live in Derbyshire.

We first came across The Bay in 2011 after taking a day off work to walk our German short-haired pointer along the beach from Hunmanby Gap to Filey to have some of the town's famous fish and chips. On seeing The Bay we fell in love with the place straight away.

We bought the cottage in late 2011 and have added many extras to make the cottage a real home from home and to ensure your holiday is as enjoyable as possible.

We visit the cottage as often as we can to escape everyday life as it's a great place to relax and unwind. We hope you enjoy the comfort of our cottage and enjoy the superb facilities that The Bay has on offer.

If you have any questions please get in touch.

Why they chose this property

We know the area well from family holidays and we've had many lovely times visiting the beautiful North Yorkshire coastline and roaming the surrounding moors. The area has something for everyone from stunning scenery and glorious stretches of sand to family-friendly seaside resorts and tiny fishing villages.

The cottage is new and modern but with a traditional look that blends into the surroundings. It provides a peaceful retreat with plenty of on-site facilities. The beach, wild flower meadow, lakes and facilities such as a leisure centre, swimming pool and pub are all a short walk away.

The location is within easy access to Filey, the North Yorkshire Moors, bustling towns of Scarborough and Bridlington and a bit further afield Whitby and York.

What makes this property unique

In all seasons it's a great place to get away from it all. It has a very relaxed feel but there is plenty to do if that's what you prefer.

A stroll along the beach, dip in the indoor heated swimming pool, and drink in the pub are all a short walk away. The Bay is a safe family friendly environment with 24 hour on-site security.

The cottage is in a great location with open aspect and sunny terrace. It's well decorated, furnished and has everything you need. We've also left a selection of books, DVDs, Wii, board games and beach accessories for our guests to use.
