“Had a lovely stay at the white rose cottage.”

Felt like home from home. On site you have access to the beach, pool, shop, tennis courts, archery and pub. Great for families, even toddlers. Farm shop, farm, zoo and aquarium are fairly local which is great for a good day out! Would highly recommend to anybody!

David December 2025

“Booked 4 nights just before Christmas for me and my 2 dogs, absolutely loved this place.”

A short walk to the beach which the dogs loved, than back home heating on and cooked my meals. I would highly recommend a stay here. The kitchen has everything you need to cook your meals and the bed was so comfortable I slept like a baby. 10/10 thank you for such a wonderful break.

Jemma November 2025

“I have just arrived home from a 3 nts stay with my 2 children.”

It was a very much needed stay.My children both have Autisum and the cottage felt very much like home that made them feel comfortable and safe.The cottage was clean,fresh and well maintained. I had no intentions to cook on the holiday but if I was planning to everything you need was there. Airfryer,toaster,slow cook,oven ect. The beds were super comfortable everyone got much needed sleep.The relevant information was there for local amenities ect. We honestly didn't do much but relax

- Jemma, November 2025

You’re very welcome back anytime, and I hope we can host you again when you need another relaxing getaway. Kindest regards Helen and Richard White Rose Cottage White Rose Apartment Property Owner
Dianne October 2025

“White Rose Cottage was warming and welcoming on arrival.”

It felt just like a cosy, homely cottage with cushions and lamps and everything cozy you hope to find in October. It was kitted out with everything you could think of and more. Towels, tea, milk sachets just in case, a bottle of fizz in the fridge ! TV in the bedroom as well as living room. It was perfect for us . The short walk to the beach was lovely, On site pub/restaurant was handy and we enjoyed a meal to the famous Pie Pub. We walked to Filey on the beach and caught a bus back from Filey bus station which dropped us right outside The Bay ! Perfect. We will definitely book The White Rose Cottage again ! X

- Dianne, October 2025

Thank you so much for your lovely review and 100% rating! We’re delighted you felt at home and enjoyed all the little touches — we love making guests feel cosy and cared for, especially in autumn.

Marnie June 2025

“The cottage is in a good situation and is well equipped for a self catering stay.”

It is decorated beautifully but unfortunately for us it was let down by the issues with cleanliness. The bathroom was not clean, I had to clean it before I could use it. The floors were dirty and needed a good thorough clean. The carpet going up the stairs is stained and behind the bedside tables and the bed were really dirty…months and months of dust, hair and tissues. I contacted the owner and she was very apologetic and rang the cleaners immediately. They came the next day to sort out the issues we had. It also states on the listing that there is a luxury tea tray which we didn’t have only some basic tea & coffee again the owner apologised and she gave me a bottle of Processco. I like to share my honest review as I choose my accomodation based on previous reviews but I didn’t find the accomodation to be as their previous guests had found it. We have stayed in 3 different properties on The Bay and fortunately this is the first time I have had any issues with cleanliness.

- Marnie, June 2025

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry that the cleanliness on arrival did not meet expectations — this is absolutely not the standard we aim to uphold. I appreciate you contacting me during your stay so I could take immediate action and arrange for the cleaners to return. I do understand how disappointing it must have been to start your holiday this way, and I’m grateful for your patience and understanding at the time. Regarding the missing luxury tea tray and stained carpet, I’ll be reviewing both with our housekeeping team and updating the listing if needed to avoid future misunderstandings. I’m pleased that you found the cottage well equipped and beautifully decorated, and I hope the gesture of a bottle of Prosecco went a small way toward making up for the initial let-down. We’re always striving to improve, and I do genuinely value honest reviews like yours. I hope you’ll consider returning in the future so we can provide the high standard that we’re proud of and which so many of our guests have experienced. Warm regards, Helen and Richard White Rose Cottage Property Owner
Helen June 2025

“The description needs to change about parking as it’s first come and this is not mentioned on description it says off road parking I did speak to owner and they said would change but it has not.”

Also the picture with tray on bed is miss leading as it says premium welcome tray we had none and owner advised was a few tea bags and satches of coffee and bottle wine this needs to be listed what get and this isn’t premium. Also there was paint spots on floors and all around door handles. Also the WiFi code was incorrect in book and took 2 days for anyone to reply as it was not left and instructions out of date

“I can only say what a brilliant holiday we had at White Rose Cottage.”

We’ve stayed at Center Parcs the last 2 years and this house and holiday park are absolutely brilliant and all our family preferred this 100%. The cottage was brilliant, exactly like the pictures, but 2 things stood out. The kitchen had everything and more that we needed to cook lovely meals which made a massive difference, including a full size fridge/freezer. Also having Netflix made a huge difference. This is a beautiful area with an amazing beach and a lovely cottage to stay in. Thanks Helen for your great communication and a lovely holiday.

“Everything was exactly as advertised and we had a very restful, but too short, stay.”

The owner was very helpful and informative before our stay began, and insisted that we call her with anything we needed, any time, day or night, even though we stayed over Christmas. Thankfully everything was perfect so we didn't need to.

“A great cottage in a great location - as well as the facilities on site, the cottage is close to Bridlington, Filey and Scarborough so plenty of seaside resorts to choose from!”

The cottage is well equipped, warm and comfortable. The owners have clearly taken pride in furnishing the cottage to a high standard. Despite it being a terraced property, it was very quiet and made for a relaxing break. We would definitely stay here again.

Margaret October 2023

“Property lovely, comfortable and clean.”

Dishes and cooking tins all had to be washed before use. Nearly every glass was very dirty, kept using same ones. You enter and leave by patio doors but a very deep step, also to walk out or in to the property you have to go over a pebbled path that was on an incline, not very safe. Nicest cottage we have stayed in for comfort and decor

- Margaret, October 2023

Dear Margaret, Thank you for leaving your valued feedback. We're sorry to hear that you had difficulties with the path and the step. I’ve brought this to the attn of the Bay Mgt team as they own and manage the exterior of the cottage and the gardens. Sadly we weren't aware of the above issues during your stay if we had of been i would of immediately addressed . We're glad to hear you enjoyed the cottage itself and hope we get to see you back in the future. Helen and Richard Property Owner

“We had a absolutely fantastic time, my dogs loved the beach.”

Will deffinetly be booking again. Loved being able to go swimming too. The only thing that would makes this property better would be if the garden was enclosed for the dogs, but they got more walks so I think they were happy anyway. A good place to take your dogs if your hungry is Victoria Mill tea rooms in Bridlington. They are very dog friendly.

“We have just returned from a fantastic week's break at White Rose Cottage.”

It's a lovely property which is very well maintained, clean and has all your home from home needs. Having Netflix and also very good WiFi was another bonus. The Bay is a lovely resort and the onsite facilities are all very good...and also very close by to the cottage.! The beach is also beautiful. Spans for miles and we spent lots of time on it with our dog who loved it. Filey is 3 km away on the beach and makes for a great walk there and back. The owners were very helpful and sent us lots of information before hand so we knew what to expect. We would highly recommend White Rose Cottage and The Bay resort and will definitely be returning. Thank you for a fabulous week.

“We had a great time at White Rose Cottage in Filey.”

The house was gorgeous, warm, and had everything you could possibly need for a short or lengthy stay. It was clean and spacious and would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay. Our only criticism is that the bed was very hard and we struggled to sleep. The house was fantastic but we really didn't sleep at all. A more comfortable bed would make us book this house time and time again.

- Dawn, November 2019

Dawn, Thank you for your 100% rating. I’m so glad that White Rose Cottage exceeded your expectations. I’ll pass on your positive feedback to our Cleaning contractors, we work very hard to ensure that we have the highest standards of cleanliness. We have replaced the mattress as requested, and also placed a mattress topper on. Hopefully this meets your needs next time. Property Owner

“Very nice and well appointed house in a great location.”

The Cantrell heating is controlled by a locked hive system which meant we couldn’t increase the setting on cool nights, or turn on the towel rail to dry off our towels after showering. There isn’t a single light in the house which is bright enough to read by in the evening either, which could be easily rectified. Final niggle was that in supplying an abundance of kitchen utensils, crockery and gadgets to cater for an army, there was no cupboard space left for our own food supplies. These are minor issues, which I mention as having paid for a first class experience, it took the edge off. I fully expect to return next year and see the owner has taken steps to address the issues.

- Janette, August 2019

Dear Mrs Killerby, Thank you for your feedback. I'm very sorry that your expectations were not met. We will review al of the points raised , we will look to increase the brightness of our low energy bulbs and review the number of utensils in the cupboards. Our Hive system is preset according to the time of year. You should have been able to change the temperature at the themostat , which is situated in the hallway .if this was not possible then please let me know and I will arrange for a British Gas engineer to go out as soon as possible and fix the thermostat. We are really grateful for your feedback as We strive to ensure that all our guests have an outstanding visitor experience. Kindest regards, Helen and Richard Property Owner

“Beautiful like home from home me and my husband took our granddaughter on her first weeks holiday she's 5 and she absolutely loved it the beach is around 10 minutes walk away and it's a beautiful beach.”

The complex is dog friendly which is a bonus so we brought our shih-tzu Rosie highly recommended

“We enjoyed our stay.”

Comfortable accommodation. As older guests we found the height of the bath side and placement of taps made getting in the bath difficult. Only disappointment was the on site pub. Food not to expected standards. We will be booking again. Thank you.

- Dawn, July 2019
Paula June 2019

“Excellent cottage 3rd time staying in it, brilliant for the dog recess to a lovely long sandy beech, five mile drive of Scarborough 20 ish to whitby.”

- Paula, June 2019

Sara September 2018

“The accomodation was excellent.”

The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to selfcater. The beds were very comfortable. We particularly enjoyed having very good WiFi and access to Netflix etc. Having a downstairs toilet as well as the upstairs bathroom made life easier for us. We have stayed at the Bay three previous times and this accommodation is the best we have experienced.

- Sara, September 2018
Jacqueline September 2018

“This cottage was exceptional, what a beautiful place the surrounding estate is fabulous safe secure spotless and homely, my Husband myself and our little dog had a great week we did not want to come home.”

Everything you needed was in the cottage very well equipped indeed spotless so very comfy location great it was superb, we will be going back for a definite, good holiday fabulous place. Would highly recommend 10 out of 10. Jackie & Jimmy from Manchester.

“The Bay is lovely, not crowded.”

Dog friendly pub, beach, swimming pool, park, tennis court, archery etc. It was nice walk to the beach, very scenic. Only one thing missing is a shop on site, there is a chemist which sells essentials such as milk and bread but we went in and they had sold out. Tesco is only 3 miles away though and there's a spa shop a mile away but sometimes you don't always want to take your car out. We stayed at White Rose Cottage, would recommend this Cottage to everyone. Weather was beautiful. This is our fourth visit to Filey. For somewhere different to eat and it is dog friendly, we would recommend Royal Oak pub, Hummanby, there's a soft play upstairs, park and lovely food. Overall we had a very nice holiday. Thank you Sykes Cottages.

“Second visit to White Rose Cottage and it was just as perfect as the first.”

Lovely accommodation, clean, comfortable and very well equipped. Highly recommended.

Alison March 2018

“The information sent to us by the owners prior to our stay was very comprehensive and everything was thought of.”

on arrival the cottage was warm and clean a super welcome on a dull day, all the extras in the kitchen are a bonus, not what you get when you normally book let only accommodation, for example, extra crockery, a wide selection of glass wear, huge selection of oven wear and utensils, how often have you holidayed and not had enough utensils to even rustle up a full breakfast for four? all i needed was at white rose cottage. even a selection of melamine plates/bowls for outdoor use of for younger guests in your holiday party. and a slow cooker, throw it all in in the morning switch on, set off for a hike across the moors or a walk over Filey Brigg and its ready on your return. dishwasher and washer/dryer in kitchen also. the lounge area was light bright airy and very comfortably furnished. the bedrooms were comfortable with beautifully clean linen and towels provided. the second bedroom was more than adequate for our 14&12 yr. old for space and comfort, with beds different ends of the room to give them each space and their own storage & lamp. the bathroom had a good shower and large bath with constant hot water supply. a small well kept area outside patio doors to have a bbq and sit at the garden furniture. the free Wi-Fi coped with multiple devices connected at once. The Bay as a site is well kept. we used the pub for a drink but lots were having meals there they looked good. the swimming pool has long opening hours and the times we used it, it was clean and of a reasonable temperature. i consider a week at white rose cottage to be good value for money and we certainly were not dissapointed

- Alison, March 2018
Paula March 2018

“The cottage was beautiful and had everything plus more in it no need to take washing up liquid tea coffee sugar it was all in there fully equipped sold it short.”

The Bay was a ideal base to visit Scarborough and Whitby and was perfect if you had a dog as the Bay was so dog friendly everyone there at the time of year we went march had a dog and it was only a ten minute walk to a beach and your dog could go off lead on the walk to and on the beach.The insight leaisure centre was spotless and ideal for a swim and the steam and sauna rooms were lovely. Our son used the gym which was fully equipped. Will go again.

- Paula, March 2018

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.
