    “2nd time we’ve stayed at Flip Flops, comfy cottage but not as well equipped as last year when we stayed.”

    Sadly whilst coming downstairs I tripped over the stair gate and fell resulting in a broken foot. We tried our best to fit it properly but it seemed too small resulting in it coming loose every time you tried to open it. I’d recommend a better fitting gate in order to keep dogs downstairs, thanks.

    Thanks for your feedback on the stairgate. We have tested it thoroughly and the gate fits at the top of the stairs but there is no flat surface to fix to at the bottom of the stairs. We have now included a note to all future guests recommending that if they need to use the gate downstairs, that it is positioned in the living room door frame. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

The property

This pretty detached cottage is located on The Bay, near Filey.

Freshly decorated with a light and airy theme, this accommodation is ideal for families to visit all year round.

The open plan sitting room is elevated by a woodburner and feature fireplace so you can cosy up at night time and watch TV.

A dining table lies to the other side of the room ideal for enjoying breakfast or dinner, next to the French doors which overlook the small patio outside.

A well-equipped kitchen is tucked into the layout.

Wander up the twisted stairway into the zip/link king-size bedroom pieced together with neat bedside tables and neutral décor.

A balcony lies outside the room, perfect for sitting out on a sunny day.

The family bathroom contains a pure white finish, with a lovely shower over the bath, and contemporary fittings.

A king-size bedroom is just as refreshing, with storage space and soft décor, leading through to a classic en-suite shower room.

Outside you can relax on the patio or balcony for a delightful afternoon, or why not stroll into the town of Filey with its many characterful attractions, shops, and walking paths?

Set beside the magnificent Filey Bay, a long stretch of sand, with its shallow rock pools to the north, and a short drive will take you to Scarborough for all those family activities.

This is a retreat not to be missed.

About the location

FILEY

Scarborough 7.7 miles; Bridlington 10.5 miles.

Filey is a traditional English seaside resort with a friendly atmosphere, offering a restful holiday, making an ideal place to stay for walkers and wildlife watchers at any time of the year. A real gem on the Yorkshire coast. A fishing town on the North East Coast, Filey has enjoyed a reputation of being a resort since Victorian times, set beside the magnificent Filey Bay, a long stretch of beautiful sand, with Filey Brigg and its shallow rockpools to the north. Filey Brigg is a low headland that protects Filey Bay and provides good bird watching and seawatching opportunities all year round. The 400 ft high Bempton Cliffs (RSPB Reserve) to the south of Filey Bay are home to over 250,000 seabirds in the summer. Gannets, kittiwakes, puffins, guillimots and razorbills all nest there. Gannets are regularly seen diving for fish in Filey Bay. The Brigg area is an ideal place to watch for common and rarer waders, seabirds and migrating warblers,finches and thrushes. As well as seabirds, seals and other marine life, such as porpoises dolphins and minke whales can be seen in the sea around the Brigg. The town itself seems almost caught in a time warp, retaining much of its character with individual shops, narrow paths and ginnels. There is a small coble landing, a slipway where local fishermen keep their boats, plus delightful beach chalets that can be hired through the summer months. The bay is edged with two promenades and there are various gardens, where brass bands play on a Sunday afternoon. This small town is family orientated, crazy golf and candy floss. Also in Filey there is the Filey Dams Nature Reserve, a wetland reserve where common and rare waders and wildfowl can be seen as well as autumn gatherings of swallows, sand martins and house martins. Also there is Parish Wood (just off Sycamore Avenue) an unexpected gem that offers a wealth of wildlife. Willow warbler, chiffchaff, blackcap and tree sparrows breed there and a wide variety of other species are regularly seen such as great spotted woodpeckers and sparrow hawks. Parish Wood also provides shelter and food for a wide range of migrant bird species such as goldcrests, pied and spotted flycatchers, warblers, finches, thrushes and woodcocks. A short drive brings you to the busier town of Scarborough where for family fun you can visit the Alpamare Waterpark, a waterpark unlike anything the UK has ever seen before, as well as plenty to explore and discover in this lovely area.
