This was our first time at The Bay and it didn’t disappoint. It helped that the weather was fantastic, but the cottage and the site are wonderful. New England Cottage is really well equipped, bedrooms are very light and airy, plenty of cupboard space. Having a ground floor bedroom and toilet was really useful for family members who struggle with stairs. It’s a shame that the log burner had been removed although the cottage is very well insulated and warm. The stone base for the burner is still in place and you need to take care not to stub your toe on it. There is a small patio outside with table and seating - the position of the house means that the sun doesn’t reach the patio which is a shame but given the heat this week, it was actually a relief. The seats are just slightly too large for the space meaning that one of the patio doors can’t be opened fully.
The distance to the pub, shop and swimming pool is a short walk but be aware that the walk to the beach is considerably further, especially if you have any mobility issues. Having access to the pool was a real bonus. The site is very dog friendly which is lovely but occasionally the noise from yapping neighbours can be a nuisance, especially if you’re not a dog owner.
The Bay is a great location with easy access to Filey, Brid, Scarborough and local Wolds villages. Anchor Bay Holidays were very efficient with all the information sent through and were really quick at responding to issues. Would we go again? Definitely!
