"Lovely house."
Everything you need and very comfortable. Lovely site with a pub serving good food. Good dog walks and nice walk to beach. The only negative was the bathroom wasn’t very clean but it didn’t stop us having a lovely time. Will definitely go back.

"Such a shame that our first impression was spoilt by uncleaned bathrooms - dirty toilets, hair and dirt in the sinks, bath and on the floor."
As we'd read previous reviews, and not wanting to spoil the start of our holiday waiting in for cleaners, we cleaned them ourselves and got on with the holiday.
We weren't really bothered with the holiday site facilities, but the location was good for trips out. We particularly loved Bempton Cliffs and saw puffins, gannets, guillemots, razorbills and kittiwakes - the main reason for our trip - so would recommend that. Also had some great days out in Whitby and Scarborough and enjoyed a walk along the beach from the house to Filey.
We've stayed in some great cottages through Sykes. This was just a standard, not clean enough, house so wouldn't go back to this one again, but would definitely re-visit the area.

"Arrived to our holiday at 4pm , check in from 3 ."
Cleaners still there and not apologetic, just asked us to wait in our car while they finished. We arrived to find the place in anything but clean state ... dishwasher full of mould , no welcome pack , generally dirty/dusty and the floor still dirty which we then spent the first evening of our holiday cleaning. The cottage is ready for a deep clean, carpets cleaning etc and refurbishment of things like the bathroom floor which is coming up.
We did not want to spoil our holiday with 2 young children so we cleaned it as best we could and enjoyed the rest of our holiday and on arrival back home I flagged up our complaint with sykes who have been less less helpful at saying they haven't been able to get in touch with the owner and as we didn't flag it up at the time there is nothing they can do. Very disappointed with sykes and with the cleanliness of the cottage . We would not stay in this cottage again and will not be booking through sykes again.

"We arrived early at 2."
30 and it wasn't cleaned so no probs we popped to the beach. Got back 3.30 still hadn't been cleaned. Rang the owner left a voicemail rang the cleaner oh it's not one of mine it's my brother's but I'll get someone there. No apologies. 4.00 they arrived. No apologies again so we left them to it and went to the pub for a drink and to calm down. I have stayed at this property before and it's in an ideal location I just wanted someone to be sorry. It said on the wall there should be a welcome pack well there was no milk no biscuits and 3 tea bags.

"Lovely cottage, we will be returning in the future."
We love to visit The Bay and have been going for years. We are quite picky with our accommodation as we have high standards so it’s nice when you find somewhere suitable. When we had a slight issue the owner dealt with it promptly and politely.

"Needs attention: front door is difficult to open."
Twin beds are super uncomfortable. Mattress bedding doesn’t fit well. Dish washer needs attention (it doesn’t clean plates). Glasses in cupboard not clean. Freezer compartment needs defrosting. Windows very droughty. Stairs carpet needs a jolly good clean. TV scene really dirty. Signs of water damage in bathroom. Skimpy with toilet rolls. Eating pub is silly expensive. Good service but the food is not great.
The good: great heating. Reasonable shower pressure. Comfortable down stairs (living room and dining area) swimming and beauty facilities great.
Our week was not terrible. We enjoyed the location. The accommodation was “okay” but felt it was let down by silly things that could easily be fixed.

"A lovely place for a holiday and cleaned to a very high standard."
Unfortunately the wooden dining table and chairs out the back of the property had been replaced by a kind of high bar table and chairs and as we had kids that meant we couldn't eat as a family outside. The bathroom could do with a lick of paint and new flooring. But the facilities at The Bay were spot on for our 4 year old.

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful holiday home - the best we have stayed in. There was everything we needed - and a very friendly owner phoned us before we went to update us on how to access the accomodation and to see if we had any queries, a lovely touch.

"Spindrift is excellent value for money self catering accommodation with everything on your doorstep."
Comfortable clean and ideal for dog owners with a dog friendly beach just 5 minutes walk from the property. Owner contacted me prior to arrival just to ensure I had the correct directions and details for my arrival. On arrival it was good to see that the owners had left a carton of milk and some essentials to ensure we did not have to go searching for tea coffee etc. Pub on site is a little pricey for take away food but nothing unexpected on a complex. Supermarkets are in easy reach if you wish to cook for yourself, Scarborough, Whitby and Bridlington are in easy driving distance however parking can be a problem. York and Leeds are within 1 hours drive if you wish to travel further afield. Overall a great location to relax in a clean comfortable home away from home. when possible we will return.

"We didn’t realise it was on a holiday park."
So it was a little noisy outside (bedtime hours) and parking was a lottery. There’s no designated parking for that property.
The house had mostly everything you could have wanted. Including a washing machine which is very handy!
Beaches were beautiful and very close. Animal park in Bridlington was fantastic! Definitely worth a visit to see there birds of prey display!
Overall it was a brilliant time to get away after the awful year everyone has had.

G. Washer and dishwasher tablets, every piece of cutlery and dishes you could ever need, plastic food bags, toy box, books and games.
Pleasant and quiet location, centrally located for all the facilities and a pleasant stroll to the beach. A bit hilly coming back up.
This is dog friendly, which appeals to most people. We had to roll up the furry rug as it did smell of doggie, but I knew that was a possibility before booking and put up with it.
The site was efficiently run and there was always somebody cleaning, tending the gardens or washing windows. The restaurant was extremely busy causing waits of over an hour for food.
Pool good for swimming and a small, warm pool for the young children.
It would have been nice to see some recycling options for waste.
None of these minor negatives would deter me from returning, it is a wonderful, safe and relaxing location in quality homes.
