The Robins

• "We enjoyed our stay in the house which was clean and comfortable."

  We particularly appreciated the provision for children's books and toys which our granddaughter loved. Great location but the parking can be an issue at times especially over the Bank Holiday weekend as we had 2 cars (not unusual for property sleeping 6) and quite understandably residents want to park outside their properties so put up signs or ask people to move. We ended up parking one car several streets away. However we really liked Filey as a destination and would definitely visit this area again.

• "Had a wonderful stay at The Robins."

  The house was in a fantastic spot, a short walk to shops and restaurants and a short stroll to the beach. Everything was in striking distance. The house itself was immaculate and with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was well equipped and the garden was an ideal, safe place for the dog. Felt so at home at The Robins and highly recommend it for a break to the beautiful town of Filey. Hope to return soon.

• "The owners, the Johnstons, used the 20/21 winter lockdown to redecorate, refurbish and make a number of improvements to the property."

  Their attention to details makes it feel more of a home than a holiday let. It is larger and more spacious than appears from the photo's and very well "kitted out". We had no problem street parking and the location in a quiet street in central Filey makes all local facilities easily accessible within a 10 minute walk. We'll certainly be back!

  We were not disappointed! Fantastic central location from which we were able to visit a lot different coastal town over our week’s stay. House was lovely and spacious but with cosy decor with all amenities that we needed. Lovely little sun trap of a garden, close proximity to Tesco and a short stroll to the beach allowed for us to get out and about every day. We would highly recommend staying here and would be happy to return!

• "This was our second stay in The Robins and was just as good as we remembered."

  We had a phone call to say that the property was ready for us, a little earlier than arranged but as we were a little later than we had hoped to be we rang Sue just as we were arriving and she came straight away to show us around. A lovely warm welcome with a complimentary basket of essentials to make a welcome cuppa! The photos do not do the property justice and we couldn't find fault with anything. I thought something was missing in the lounge but my husband remembered the lovely Christmas tree from our earlier stay! Really spoilt for choice with more books than a library, games and even jigsaws as well as toys for younger children. Lovely linen and more towels than we needed....perfect! And within a 3 minute walk of our favourite restaurant...Bella Italia is just around the corner but do book. We went twice during our stay and the restaurant was full on both occasions. We had a lovely stay here and will definitely return.

• "The Robins is a very comfortable and homely holiday let, ideal for families with the vast array of games and toys available."

  The owner who met us on arrival was very keen to address any problems as and when they may have arisen. I would however like to point out that a tumble dryer would have been handy as there is adequate space in the utility but this was not a big issue as there is a launderette a short walk away. Also a grab rail over the bath would be a big help to older visitors. We are definitely not ruling out a return visit!

• "Thankyou , for the "Robins" ,this property was well situated in Filey and had everything you could want or need really."

  Had a comfortable stay and my granddaughter who is only 17 months old was forever fetching me to play with a tremendous variety of toys which were in a separate downstairs room which throughout the holiday she dominated as her playroom. I think we both loved it ,my granddaughter due to the toys and me getting her attention. Our friends had the on-suite bathroom which they appreciated, and my son, partner and granddaughter had the middle bedroom which gave them adequate space , having the little one. The safety gate was a blessing at the bottom of the stairs during the daytime. The garage/store was just round the corner or Tesco,s was a stones throw away. All in all a good spot to stay , I would recommend the Robins to anyone wanting to stay in Filey.

• "Having had lots of self catering holidays my only gripe would be that it would have been nice to had a few basics provided initially."

  A few tea bags, small milk etc on arrival. I guess with some accommodations in the past the proprietors have surpassed them self’s with providing a lot of basic items - salt, pepper, bin liners, fairy liquid, bleach for bathrooms. All this aside, The Robins was lovely accommodation and suited all adult family needs, ticking all boxes for a lovely holiday.

• "The house was extremely clean and the furnishings were of very good condition."

  However, I do not feel that it is suitable for elderly or disabled people. The stairs were extremely steep and the polished floorboards were difficult for the disabled or elderly. Also the house accepts pets which is good as we have a dog but she found it really difficult to walk on the floorboards and kept slipping. I feel also it would be better to have some net curtains on the front windows as you felt were open to people walking by or from the opposite side of the road. Apart from these comments the house was very nice and comfortable.

  Close to all Filey has to offer. Cosy relaxing warm retreat after a days shopping in Scarborough and walking along Fileys beach. If I had to be picky I thought the 10am kick out time a little early especially when you have to strip the beds. Also being really really picky in the twin room it would be great to have a small lamp. We used the one from the hallway which was a little big. All in all a great stay. Thanks ks
