• "This was a return visit for us and as before, the accommodation was extremely well appointed and very clean and comfortable."

  It is in an excellent location for visiting the Yorkshire coast and Wolds. The Bay estate is a well maintained site and quiet and safe. Lilipad Cottage is in a good location on the estate in a very quiet area but within a few mins walk to the main complex and coastal path. The coastal towns of Filey and Bridlington are only a few minutes drive away. A great place to stay.

  Thank you for the lovely feedback. It was so nice to have you stay again. Property Owner

• "Bad start another family already in when we go there, they had the same key code but the wrong cottage."

  HOW can that happen. Then we had no heating, it was controlled by the owner leaving it cold most of the day. Being pensioners we did not feel it was not good enough, came home early.

  Thank you for your feedback, apologies but this was a completely random turn of events where some holiday makers had come to the wrong property, this was actually nothing to do with ourselves, it was by chance that us and the other owner ( who we managed to locate as we had never met them before) had the same key code. I'm sure you can appreciate this was completely out of our control. We use a nest system in the property that it set up to come on at specific times which keep a good consistent temperature throughout the property. You had called us as there was some kind of user error that prompted you for a pin code, as you were going out for the day and I couldn’t give you a time for someone to call in and assist i was happy to amend the heating for you manually and said if these wanted changing to give me a call. We assumed that this was all okay as we did not get any further requests to change the heating settings for you. We do have someone on hand who can attend our property to assist in these instances, we are sorry that you didn't want us to help rectify this for your stay but we can confirm that the unit is fully working. Kind regards Property Owner

  Dawn and Stephen were perfect hosts letting us know the cottage was available earlier than the check in time. The cottage is beautifully decorated, very clean and has everything we needed and more. Parking for two cars on the drive is an added bonus! We enjoyed the use of the swimming pool which has a baby pool too. The information folder was very helpful.

  Very clean and comfortable with all the facilities we wanted. A really nice touch was the Easter Eggs in our welcome pack, just an example of the care the owners take. The Bay itself is a great location for the north east coast and the site is maintained to a high standard. Lilipad is in a nice quiet location but still within a short stroll of the facilities. Ace!

• "Out main issue was being unable to charge our electric car on site!"

  If the management are unwilling to allow charging from individual properties they must make appropriate provision. This one factor would prevent us from holidaying here in future. The cottage was comfortable and thoughtfully furnished. It was well equipped for four people. It would have been helpful to know in advance how heavily subscribed the activities on site would be- we weren’t able to get places for archery on arrival. Also we couldn’t get information about the full range of activities (no leaflets available) It would have been good if we had known we’d need to book in advance.

  E Netflix, toilet rolls, washing tablets etc. As well as been well looked after internally, the cottage was in an ideal location for us to explore the Yorkshire dales. The bonus of having onsite facilities of a shop, bakery & pub which we used as well as the indoor swimming pool free access (via booking system) was also great. 10 minutes stroll down to the Sandy beach & only a 40 minute walk along the beach into Filey, all in all we would recommend lilipad cottage to couples & family’s for a home from home staycation .

  The Bay is a great location to spend a holiday despite the ever changing weather that we had. We went to Bempton Cliffs and saw the puffins, gannets and numerous other seabirds, we also went to Flamborough Head and saw a family of seals basking on the rocks plus an unexpected close siting of a barn owl. Sewerby Park is a nice visit, we took the return little train ride to Bridlington where we had the wonderful Yorkshire Coast fish and chips. Filey and its beach are one of the best seaside resorts and after each excursion retuned to chill out at lovely Lilipad Cottage.

  The beaches at Filey and Whitby were fantastic. Our pre-teen kids had a brilliant day at Flamingoland and pottering around on the various beaches. Our stay in a holiday village as opposed to a caravan site was brilliant. The facilities in the cottage and within the village were great. Both very welcoming and very clean. The site was very safe for the kids to have some independence. As ever our stay with Sykes was excellent. We have now stayed in Sykes cottages in Scotland, England and Wales and we are never disappointed.

  Lillipad Cottage was an excellent choice being located in a quiet part on The Bay. It was clean, comfortable and provided everything we needed during our stay. It was nice to able to leave our bedroom windows open on a warm humid night without being disturbed by drunks, screaming women and noisy kids running around after 11 pm at night. It was comforting to see a visible security patrol which you would regularly see at the entrance to The Bay. All in all The Bay was a great place to stay with not over the top facilities which provided a nice family pub, cafe restaurant, swimming pool, sauna , Gym and activities for children. Lillipad Cottage was within easy walking distance of all these facilities with an added bonus of easy access to the beach and the lovely Filey Bay. There were two car parking spaces alloted to this cottage with further parking nearby so you can leave the car without any worries and go off for the day. Ideal base for exploring the north Yorkshire Coastline with must visits to Flamborough, Bempton Cliffs, Sewerby and Burton Agnes Hall, Robin Hoods Bay, Whitby, North York Moors, Pickering and North Yorks Railway, Scarborough and Bridlington which are all within a short drive. Thank you to the owners of Lillipad Cottage for providing a lovely holiday home which allowed us to have a relaxing holiday We will definitely be returning next year.
