  A few down sides to it. Toaster very very slow. No instruction for several equipment in the property. Very creeky floorboards upstairs in master bedroom and en suite. People cutting through the side of house whilst your sat out on patio and peoples dogs roaming round from nearby properties. Otherwise a lovely stay.

• "We enjoyed a lovely family holiday at Calvert Croft."

  A very comfortable & well appointed property which suited our family of 4 adults, 1 x two yr old & dog. Used both double rooms which were very comfortable, twin room used only for toddler’s travel cot. Didn’t quite understand communal grass areas initially but plenty of spaces around to walk dog & play area for toddler. A very dog friendly place. Very good to have 2 bathrooms & downstairs loo. Location excellent, close to leisure centre & pool & great beach access. Unfortunately the outside drains were a bit smelly at times. We really liked the layout of Filey Bay, it was an oasis of calm to return to and would certainly consider staying again.

  Really well stocked and had all the facilities we needed. Warm, welcoming and comfortable, perfect for our late winter getaway. Always enjoy coming to The Bay, quiet and well kept complex with excellent amenities.

  It was warm, welcoming and extremely comfortable. The bay is in an ideal location for walking into Filey and the Christmas lights were lovely. I would certainly stay in this house again and would highly recommend.

• "Lovely house with all the facilities as expected, Nice and close to beach and easy access to Filey and Scarborough."

  Only negative points around the accommodation were areas to park the 2 cars we had, wasn’t fully sure if I had a designated place or it’s on a 1st come basis. Secondly 10am to vacate is a bit rushed and doesn’t allow the time for a relaxing start to the day, 11am would be better. The pub on site is great asset for a local drink although not being able to walk in and go to a table but being asked if we had booked (even though just for a drink) was a bit odd and restrictive. Also might have stayed longer, but for the crazy pricing structure we decided against it… 2 alcoholic drinks and 3 soft drinks £25… medium glass of pretty standard white wine £10.25 is a bit high end for the stature of the pub.

• "We had a great week here."

  We would definitely stop in this house again. It felt roomy even with the six of us in the same space at any given time. There is also plenty of storage for pushchairs, wellies, outdoor toys etc, which you don’t always get in these types of accommodation. As an ex chef I noticed the kitchen more than most would have. A great space. There were plenty of utensils, crockery, pans etc. could have done with a proper cheese grater rather than the nutmeg one, and there was no whisk, apart from those it was top drawer. No real negatives, but the creaky floor downstairs might need looking at. Thank you for being part of our relaxing week. Cheers, Dave

  2 Calvert Croft is a spacious well designed and well equipped property. Very quiet location with off road parking. Good leisure facilities and only a ten minute walk to the beach, ideal for dog lovers. The only negative is no passes for the leisure centre where present at the property. We were informed by staff that they should have been passes in the property for us to use. Other than that we had a very enjoyable stay and can certainly recommend.

• "Nice property."

  Met most of our needs. Beds too soft for one member of party with limited mobility, made it hard to get out of bed. A shame. Lack of hand wash in bathrooms, some in one of them but none in others. Did get two pints of milk left in fridge. Only four of us so plenty of seats for us but would be very cosy for the six it sleeps. Patio area nice and gets sun till late, very nice, it's not enclosed (doesn't claim to be) if your dog likes to wander. The Bay as a whole was not very accessible so am afraid would not return but that's due to our specific group needs.

• "This is a beautiful holiday home in a lovely location."

  It was spacious and immaculately presented. We were a party of four adults, a three year old and a 10 month old. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. My only criticism would be, the TV signal isn't great and with having litte ones our evenings were spent at the house. I know this is not something the owners can rectify, it was just a little annoying. The dinner plates were too big to fit in the microwave. The main issue was the travel cot mattress, which was way to thin, it was like the baby was sleeping on the floor. She would not settle so we had to improvise, but don't let these small things put you off. Thank you

  On a minor equipment note, there were only 6 mugs so for each drink we had to keep washing up. On the plus side we had no hot water on the second morning and even though it was the weekend the owner called me within 20 minutes and talked me through a solution.

  Loved the location. Great walks for the dogs, used the gym and swimming pool every other day. The local pub is good for a visit if you stick to the basic food menu, ie pizza, fish and chips. The property itself is a good size, having 1 double bedroom on the ground floor and 2 double bedrooms on the first. All clean, well decorated. The kitchen is clean and well equipped with a good quality dishwasher, washer dryer and cooker. We didn’t find parking a problem with 2 cars. We will hopefully be back. Debbie’s communication was excellent and she was very helpful when we needed linen changes etc.

• "Just returned from a lovely weeks holiday The house is on a very quiet estate and the position is ideally for what I call a proper seaside holiday 4 resorts very close by The house was very well equipped for a party of 5 adults and bedroom space was very good the very small en-suite could be improved with a hook on the door for a towel as you get out of the shower and a small rack to hold your gel etc in the shower itself so you don’t have to keep bending to the floor We felt the living space was small for 5 adults and would be a squeeze for 6 an additional armchair would be good but obviously this is the design of the house."

  Whilst we knew there was no private garden just a small patio space it was a bit of a pain having to put Ivy our dog on a lead every time she wanted to go out although there is plenty of green spaces between the houses and she did enjoy the wild meadow area for her morning walk and being October she really enjoyed her runs on the beach We went on holiday with my sister who stayed in an apartment with her two small dogs would we go back we said yes

  Thank you for taking the time to leave a great review. We will of course take your suggestions on board and fit a hook to the en-suite door. We constantly look to improve where possible and hope you consider visiting us again in the future. Property Owner

• "Cottage inside was lovely."

  Facilities were good and everything there for a good self catering holiday. Beds were comfortable for a good night's sleep. What really let's this cottage down is the outside dining area. Table is in an alcove and only gets the sun for about 30 minutes late afternoon. Cottage is advertised with ample parking, but parking is in authorised parking bays on the site, but because there seems to be more cottages than bays, sometimes it is very difficult to get a bay near to 2 Calvert Croft.

• "We were generally very happy with the accommodation including the best garden chairs ever!"

  We had two areas of concern. 1. The settees were both in need of renovation/replacement, especially the one in front of the window. The 'faux leather' was cracked and peeling off from the seats and some of the back. 2. No mattress cover on upstairs double bed (despite being described as part of Covid management.) Twin bed sheets too small.

  Thank you for your feedback. Glad you enjoyed your stay. I can confirm both sofas have now been replaced. Also a new mattress protector has been provided as this was unfortunately overlooked during change over. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Kind regards Debbie. Property Owner

  The living space was one large room and accommodated 4 adults and 2 children comfortably. The bedrooms and upstairs areas felt really spacious. The only note we’d have is that some extra small towels for hair would have been appreciated on top of the one large fluffy towel we were provided.

  We prefer to stay in filey itself. The Bay is a nice holiday complex but it only has 1 restaurant and 1 cafe . So needed to go out every day . The property was nice . Very dusty,and the beds were a bit to soft . Probably getting ready for new mattresses. None of the properties have enclosed gardens so were unable to allow dog out . Didnt feel private enough to sit out and have a barbecue or breakfast outside on the small allo cated patio as very close to the neighbours and overlooked by quite afew others . The beach was about 15 minute walk awake but worth the walk. We found the childrens park . We used the onsite gym and the pool . The pool changing rooms were very small and you didnt feel comfortable trying to get dressed . So only used the facility once .The complex was kept very clean and was very quiet .

  A bit of a walk to the beach and the final bit of path is very steep. Cottage had everything expected and felt very safe and clean. Always important but more so in these difficult times. Felt like home for a week. Parking was a bit of a problem on 2 nights. looking at the map in the welcome book some extra lodges have been built so maybe this has increased parking requirements. You are asked not to park on the road but it was impossible not to one night and 6 other cars did the same. location very quiet and met our needs perfectly. Would stay again if I’m Filey

  Everything had been thoroughly cleaned prior to our arrival including all cutlery and crockery. All 3 bedrooms were comfortable and with decent pillows for a change. The lounge was big with 2 large settles which made for very comfortable family time. Hand sanitiser was provided in the hallway and we felt very safe in the house. A couple of light bulbs didn’t work but this was easily rectified when we shopped in Filey. The coffee shop on site is really good but does close early at around 3pm, the pub is really well organised from a Coved perspective. The week we stayed the weather was awful but having a really good base to stay made it feel much better. Really love the cottage and hope to book it again in the near future.

  Weather was glorious which helped. Resort its is very safe for young children and the house was everything we needed for 2 adults and 3 young children. The only negative was the lack of activities available on site during our stay. Virtually nothing was available to do as an extra. The biggest disappointment was the pool/leisure facilities. Big pool freezing, baby pool out of use all this year - one of the main reasons we booked here (1yr old, 4yr old and 6yr old) Shower/changing facilities filthy and smelt bad. Showers stone cold. The pool area needs to get its act together fast or many unhappy customers there will be.

  The house is a real home from home, spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. The hamper is a nice gesture to help you to settle in quickly and the games, DVDs and buckets & spades etc were all put to good use. The only thing I could fault (if I had to be picky) was that the fridge is only very small and there is no freezer... however as we were only there for a week it didn't matter. The site is lovely and clean and it's only a short stroll to the beach. We did walk along the beach into Filey which took us about 40 minutes each way. That said, it was a very slow walk with lots of stopping to collect shells!! The pool was clean and although it can get busy at times we found that late afternoon was a good time to go. The only downside to The Bay, in my opinion is the lack of entertainment. An odd pub quiz or something for the children a couple of nights a week would have been nice. Overall a lovely week spent in a beautiful house. We didn't want to leave!!
