Love love love The Bay at Filey
Stayed in prospect cottage for our visit this time, beautiful house with everything you need and really spacious. Two good sized bedrooms with plenty of storage. Lounge/kitchen is a great communal layout. 5 minute walk down to the dog friendly pub on site and the another 5 minutes to the fantastic beach.

A great stay
We stayed at Prospect Cottage whilst we were looking at houses in the area, as we love it so much we are moving up there. The cottage was well set out with plenty of room. Views onto the green were lovely and the balcony upstairs was great for sitting with a coffee. Evenings were a delight Sat on the reclining sofa while we discussed houses or watched some tv. A great stay which felt too short.

Excellent cottage for weekend stay
Comfortable and spacious. Quite a walk from the beach end, but we don't mind that at all. Kitchen is well equipped, dishwasher tablets would be useful as we forgot ours for the first time. Overall, very happy with accomodation.

A weekend break
Good location and well presented accommodation .It was very comfortable for the three of us and the dog for two nights.
An earlier check in and later check out would have made this perfect but it comes with the territory. An oven glove to use in the kitchen would have been helpful. Overall, very good and would stay again .

Lovely house
This was our second stay at The Bay, different house. As always we were not disappointed, the house was lovely had absolutely everything you could possibly need. Location good but I'm not sure theres a bad location at The Bay. Staff in the pub were friendly and food beautiful. What a great place for a doggy friendly holiday. I would definitely recommend both The Bay and Prospect Cottage.

Lovely stay at Prospect Cottage
We had a lovely stay at Prospect Cottage; the cottage was spotlessly clean and well maintained and nicely positioned on the complex. The pub was nice with good food and drinks at reasonable cost and a short walk from the cottage. Lots of games and beach toys for children and of course a swimming pool. The balcony and patio are both south facing so great to catch the sun. The path to the beach is easily accessible. Definitely recommended for adults and children.

A Week of Relaxation
We stayed here for a week in June. The two of us and our two small dogs. Ideal location for us. It would also be a good fit for a family as well.
Handy patio area to the rear, that opens up onto a large grassed area, shared with other accomodations. Perfect for kids and dogs. Also, there was a balcony for the main bedroom overlooking the same area. Ideal for early morning cups of tea and also a sun trap in the mornings.
The house was well equipped and perfectly clean too. A great location for exploring the surrounding coast and countryside.
The site itself backs onto the beach, so great for walks to Filey.
We would definitely stay again.

A very comfortable stay. Can highly recommend.
Our second time at Filey Bay but the first time in Prospect Cottage. The cottage is situated on a quiet road with plenty of parking nearby. We always found a spot right opposite the cottage.
Prospect Cottage was spotless, more spacious than expected, well designed, well-equipped and attractively decorated throughout. The bedrooms were spacious, the main bed being large and very comfortable with good quality bedding.
The rear facing rooms (master bedroom and lounge) both have french windows which let in plenty of light and overlooked a very pleasant open grassy area where we could throw a ball for the dog.
The development as a whole is very attractive and is pleasant to walk through. In particular we enjoy the easy walk to the beach with the dog without worrying about traffic. We usually walk the couple of miles along the beach to Filey for coffee and bacon sandwiches.
The host was very easy to contact and was prompt with information from start to finish (including Tide Tables). In particular quickly advised us of the options available to us due to extreme weather conditions on our arrival day ie possible cancellation/refund.
On the whole we find it difficult to find any fault and it's very likely that, when we return to The Bay, we shall book Prospect Cottage again.

Last minute booking in June
Been to The Bay many times this was our first stay in prospect cottage.parking opposite cottage was very handy.The cottage itself was very well layed out.The bed was very comfy,the sofa a bit worn (when you put the recliner up the metal bar was sticking in my leg).The communal area wasn’t for us as every time someone walked passed the patio the dogs would bark.lovely walk to the beach and dog walking field.
The cleanliness wasn’t great,the walls and skirting boards were dirty and dusty.The toilet looked like it hadn’t been cleaned properly in a very long time.We didn’t let it ruin our stay.I personally think it suits families with children.
The booking was very simple and straightforward.

3 day break
A comfortable holiday home to spend time in .
The house itself was clean and tidy, facilities were quite adequate. All was in good working condition. Bed was comfortable.
The location for Filey was spot on with easy access to the beach.
Didn’t use the pool or gym so can’t comment.
Holiday park is quite dark in the evening so take a torch. Maybe the owners could and should fix the broken street light and or install a few more.
Would return .
Would be beneficial to have better parking options such as a named space for each house .

A nice place to stay
We had a nice week in Prospect Cottage. There were a couple of issues that Paula sorted out promptly. Cleanliness could have been a little better but otherwise a good location for the coast and Yorkshire moors.
