  Everything you could need is here and we are already booked again for next year. Thank you

• "Lovely property, clean and comfortable with a fabulous log burner."

  Great location for the beach and a base for exploring North Yorkshire. Our fourth time to The Bay complex, coming back next year too, Please note: on site cafe is not open, pub manager could not say if it was re opening next year. The lease is up on the pharmacy next year so not sure if that will be open either. The swimming pool is handy, having an adults only slot, has a sauna & steam room too. The shop is very handy for the basics.

• "The property was not a disappointment, it was exactly as described."

  It was clean, with some nice little touches, washing liquid, liquid hand soap, tea bags, coffee, plus some other bits and pieces. My only complaint is that there was no tea pot supplied. Location was good only a short walk to the beach, down hill, and 5 minutes to the on site pub. Certainly would go back to this property.

• "Level of cleanliness was not good in the kitchen especially, cupboard door handles were sticky to touch as was the overhead extractor that was broken."

  Some cutlery items were dirty. In the bedroom, drawers were dirty, the one next to my bed had lots black hairs it, I had clean it before I could put anything in it. The bathrooms however were very clean although the shared one was a little tired in places. The location was good, close to beach access and shops , the property had a balcony but it was in very close proximity to a neighbouring cabin so much so that you could see in to their windows, but it was nice to sit out when the weather permitted. I have stayed in other properties at the Bay and feel that there are others that are better value for money.

• "This was our fourth time to Flip Flops but sorry to say it will be our last the first day we arrived we could watch TV but then that night the TV downstairs and upstairs wouldn’t work we contacted the owner and also went to speak to the receptionist at the bay who wasn’t very helpful at all the owner did apologise and offered for us to go out for a meal to compensate but nothing happened."

  we was issued that it would be fixed on the Monday which it wasn’t had to keep contacting the owner who could only apologise but my husband is highly vulnerable so we don’t tend to go out much to pubs and restaurants so all week we had no TV to watch at all we actually left a day early than planned because we just couldn’t stand the boredom anymore it’s a lot of money to stay at the bay and on an evening I like to relax and watch TV but we couldn’t do that we just felt like we were left to get on with it it wouldn’t have been so bad it was offered a part refund but nothing even if it was out of their control they should’ve offered something but since returning and looking at other peoples feedback it seems to be a common problem so we wasn’t happy at all. The owner suggested we go to the pub to watch TV but he wouldn’t advise it because the drinks were so expensive . We couldn’t of gone there every night. The man who works at the bay did come out to have a look at the TV I don’t think he knew what the problem was said he would go away and get back to me which he didn’t . Went back to reception again to ask what was happening, so all in all not a good experience and it did ruin our holiday because we were just waiting every day to see if it will come back on. . We also had no water the first night problem somewhere in Filey and they did send us some bottled waters out so we could flush the toilet . So all in all not a happy holiday sorry to say .

  Although other people on The Bay have suffered with a lack of TV signal this is the only real issue we have had. We tried to resolve this with The Bay but it was out of our control. Our offer of money for a meal still stands (we have no details to be able to transfer the money to you). We are in the hands of The Bay to some extend but have now researched a way around the issue, I know this doesn't help yourselves, but we are getting an wi-fi enabled TV installed so we don't have to rely solely on The Bays signal in the future. We are truly sorry that we could not get the matter resolved during your stay and regret that we have lost a valued customer. Property Owner

• "Our 2nd visit to Flip Flops."

  Great location with quick access to the beach. The south facing balcony was very beneficial and particularly so with the winds off the sea so the balcony was wind free. Covid guidance obviously changes some aspects of the rental but they never caused us any issues. Bed was very comfortable (firmer than previous stay with new replacement recently). The beach is just glorious and the area is very scenic. Great rental and sure we will return again in the future.

  We had a lovely week and have already booked for next year . The house has all the things you need , the soap dispenser didn’t work but we brought our on anyway . We totally understand the later check in times because of covid but what may be a good idea is a text message to say the house is ready as the cleaning could of been done first thing but we are having to wait until four 0 clock . Feel like we loose half a day as check out is at 10 . Lovely house and great for us as not far from walking the dog down to the beach. Can’t wait to return. Always clean around the bay . Found the drinks at the pub expensive. Could do with a little shop on site .

  The owners care about their guests and the cleaning staff set a high standard (it was spotless, thank you). We and our little dog enjoyed walking on the sands of Filey Bay and Bridlington (whole cooked lobster bought for £12 at Arnolds fish merchants). The grounds of The Bay are well looked after and nearly all visitors staying smile and say hello. To say we enjoyed this stay would be an understatement. Thank you all.

  The accommodation was spotless, spacious and a perfect location for early morning walks along the stunning beach, the children body boarding on the waves and watching the sun set over the ‘Brigg’. In times of uncertainty we couldn’t have wished for a more welcoming cottage to let our family have some sort of normality even if it was just for 1 week.

• "The freestanding shower was tiny, none of us could shower comfortably and the fixed shower head meant that again, none of us could rinse away soap suds, shampoo, sand etc."

  , etc. Like wise the shower over the bath was also a fixed head and the bath was quite high to climb in and out of with no hand rail. The built in wardrobe in both bedrooms had a lot of items already in them (towels, bedding, stairgates etc) made full hanging space impossible and no room to store suitcases. Blackout curtains would have been a bonus. Downstairs wasn't too bad apart from four adults, two two-seater settees but nowhere to put a cup of tea or a glass of wine. Cleanliness was a big issue. We moved the badly frayed rug so we wouldn't trip on it and there was a lot of sand, dust etc that we swept away. But the general cleanliness was lacking, thick dust on the towel radiator in the master bedroom, on the lamps, skirting board. Ornaments were dirty - did we really need them? Sorry about my rant but I needed to say this. We've had four visits to The Bay and will be coming back but not to Flip Flops - shame because we had always thought how nice it looked when we went on beach walks. And last but not least there was no clothes airer so items that couldn't go in the tumble drier had to be draped over radiators, not a pretty sight!

• "It is a shame that the meadow walk at The Bay is closed."

  This is an important facit to the site and customers using the site should be warned of this. I hope that the site is not being greedy and building more properties on this land? Beautifully clean and fresh smelling property. The freezer was a great adition. Constructive criticism: a shower shelf inside the en-suite shower cubicle would be a great help, as shampoo etc have to kept on the floor - wet hair every shower and not everyone wants to wash their hair every day! :)

  Location near to the pub and closer access to the beach is a nice bonus. Facilities are as listed on the Sykes web page but be aware that although it does have wifi it is extremely slow ( around 0.14 meg ) whilst we were there. Any issues during the stay were quickly resolves by Kenny or the owner - Peter. Bedrooms are large and two bathrooms was an excellent resource when you have a son who takes forever in the shower. Liked it so much we rebooked during the week for the same time next year.
