“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.

Elaine September 2024

“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.

- Elaine, September 2024

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.

“This is my third visit to Lilipad Cottage.”

The standards are always high and have been maintained. The owners are friendly and always available if required for assistance of any sort. The cottage is always maintained to a high standard and has everything you require for a self-catering holiday. A new walk-in shower has been installed and is great. On arrival there was a pint of milk in the fridge, plus condiments in cupboard, allowing us to settle in and have a cuppa straight away. Will be back in future.

- Chris, April 2022
Malcolm April 2022

“A perfect cottage for us, perfectly located, well-equipped and comfortable.”

Loved the nautical/cat theme with lots of personal touches around the property. Made it feel homely. Only thing we’d say is that we’d have appreciated instructions in the property book on operating the smart thermostat which controlled the heating system.

- Malcolm, April 2022
Michael April 2022

“Lilipad Cottage is a very high spec accommodation which is maintained to a high standard.”

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!

- Michael, April 2022
Susan March 2022

“Lillypad cottage is lovely.”

We arrived on a very cold and wet afternoon. We walked into a lovely warm and cosy cottage. It has everything you could wish for and more in a holiday cottage. Very light, comfortable. A real home from home. We loved it so much that we have booked it again for later in the year. Nice walk down to the beach too.

- Susan, March 2022
Sarah February 2022

“Your cottage is beautiful and perfect for a family of 4 with lots of space.”

- Sarah, February 2022
Nigel February 2022

“This is a delightful property which is exceptionally clean and well equipped.”

The holiday village is clean and well maintained and is ideally situated a short walk from magnificant beach. We had a thoroughly enjoyable few days staying at the cottage and exploring the local area. We will definitely return!

- Nigel, February 2022
Ann December 2021

“The Cottage is absolutely beautiful with a home from home feeling and has everything you could need.”

The owners take pride in there property and it shows it was spotless and lovely attention to detail very nice ornaments and decorated for Christmas. I have stayed on The Bay in the past but this property is the best I have stayed in by far. Thank you to the owners for making our Christmas one of the best we have had for a long time.

- Ann, December 2021
Marian December 2021

“Dawn & Stephen’s cottage was the perfect place for a midweek relaxing break.”

It had everything you could possibly need, very cozy and warm, spotlessly clean, hone from home. We arrived on 1st December and the cottage had a Xmas tree and lovely decorations which added that extra special touch. Not to mention that Santa had left delicious treats for us and a welcome bottle of milk in the fridge. Communication was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. We would not hesitate to recommend Lilipad cottage and hope to be back next year.

- Marian, December 2021
Sue October 2021

“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.

- Sue, October 2021
Carolyn October 2021

“We gave returned to the cottage for a long weekend.”

Facilities are clean, user friendly and comfortable. Excellent base to explore the east coast.

- Carolyn, October 2021

- Geoffrey, September 2021
Andrea August 2021

“We had a fabulous time at lilipad cottage, the owners Dawn & Stephen have gone that extra mile with little extras that you don’t normally get I.”

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 .

- Andrea, August 2021
Julie August 2021

“There didn’t seem to be a place to recycle our paper/card products on the site.”

- Julie, August 2021

Surrinder May 2021

“Lilipad Cottage was a lovely property and the owners take such pride in making it so comfortable for people.”

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.

- Surrinder, May 2021
Julia May 2021

“The cottage was beautifully clean and had everything in it that you could possibly need.”

Everything was so comfortable and the site is immaculate. A real ‘Home from Home’.

Pamela April 2021

“The cottage more than lived up to it's description - lovely comfortable bed and sofas - extremely clean - can't think of anything the owners haven't thought of by way of equipment - sun on the patio all day an added bonus.”

Used the pool and had drinks at the John Paul Jones pub at The Bay - the staff doing everything to make things covid safe. We look forward to a return visit.

- Pamela, April 2021

Ian December 2019

“Fantastic cottage break with the family for New Year on the beautiful Bay in Filey.”

Dawn had left us little treats and went the extra mile to make is feel really welcome. Cottage is very cosy and ultra clean. A great base for long beach walks and movie nights in. My children already want to go back. 5 stars for Lilipad Cottage.

- Ian, December 2019
Vicki November 2019

“Lily pad cottage is a fantastic find.”

It is Cosy, comfy and clean. It is well equipped and you feel right at home straight away. This was a fantastic base from which to spend a wonderful family break. We will definitely be returning.

- Vicki, November 2019
Craig October 2019

“This was our first time visiting Yorkshire and we had a great time.”

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.

- Craig, October 2019
John September 2019

“Everything was excellent from the cleanliness of the property to the position in a quiet cul de sac.”

- Marie, September 2019
Graham July 2019

“Having previously owned a caravan next door on the Haven Park, Primrose Valley, with the problems that it brought , it made a refreshing change to stay somewhere where we could relax and feel that we had an holiday.”

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.

- Graham, July 2019
Anya May 2019

“We enjoyed a wonderful week in Lilipad Cottage in May 2019.”

It is in a brilliant location and is equipped with everything we could possibly need. The sun was shining everyday so our toddler made the most of digging on the beach, splashing in the sea and building sandcastles. We hope to return again soon.

- Anya, May 2019
Vicki-lea April 2019

“My little family and I stayed here Easter 2019.”

The property

This beautiful cottage is situated on The Bay holiday village, just three miles from the seaside town of Filey, and is just the ticket for exploring the stunning Yorkshire coastline and beautiful surrounding countryside.

Lilipad Cottage provides fabulous open plan living, yet is a cosy retreat whatever time of year you choose to visit.

French doors lead to a private patio overlooking the beautifully landscaped grounds.

This idyllic coastal cottage is close to a wonderful Blue Flag beach and the golden sands here seem endless.

The facilities at The Bay include an indoor swimming pool, children’s pool, sauna, steam room and gym, as well as a tennis court and archery range.

Lilipad Cottage is fully-equipped for producing gourmet meals, however within a stone's throw is a great pub and Italian restaurant serving meals.

Ideally suited to families, friends or couples wanting to get away, the two bedrooms make this cottage a perfect choice.

Filey is an unchanged Edwardian resort famed for its mile after mile of smooth sandy beach, its elegant and historic promenade, its famous Brigg and tasty fish and chips.

The entire Yorkshire coastline provides some of the UK's most dramatic and rugged scenery.

Whether you want to immerse yourself in the fascinating world of the rock pool, create a sandcastle masterpiece, head up the coast to Whitby where you can climb the 199 steps to Whitby Abbey, no day will be the same.

Inland, the landscape offers a different experience but equally inspiring.

The North York Moors provide some serious walking and cycling and now and again you will spot a plume of smoke as the steam railway chug-chugs its way through the tree lined valleys between the lovely market town of Pickering and the dramatic coastal town of Whitby.

A wonderful holiday base all year round.

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.

Please note that from November 2021 the bath will be replaced by a walk-in shower.
Note: Strictly no electric car charging at the property
