Sea Horse Lodge was spacious and comfortable with well considered furnishing and decor. Wardrobe/clothes space in bed two and three was limited, but super in the main bedroom.
Outside there was ample seating which was comfortable thanks to the owners who entrusted us to use cushions and return them to the store room each evening. The day bed which caught the evening sunshine was very much enjoyed.
The property was described as new, but it didn't feel pristine. I worry for the owners that the grout around the showers needs some attention as a faint damp odour points to some water gaining access to behind the base and tiles perhaps.
The Lodge was warm, the appliances were good quality, worked perfectly and were easy to use. Lovely to watch the wildlife in the area.
In terms of the resort, this was our fourth visit. We've yet to find the four cats pizza shop open, even this time in July. Clearly its a great location or we wouldn't have come back, given The Bay is typically at the top of our budget. I hope the prices don't rise any further or it will limit availability to most.

Thanks for your lovely review. Look out for our repeat booker voucher code to save on a future stay. The owners are very committed to providing a high standard and acting on feedback as soon as issues arise, so the grouting issue has already been addressed.

Excellent cottage and holiday.
But I feel that a door between the kitchen/lounge and the passage/bedrooms would be a bonus.
This is because of sound issues.
Being in the far bedroom with the door closed, I could hear the kettle and water being run.
Another sad thing was the evidence of dog hairs on the settee and carpet.

Thanks for your review and glad you enjoyed your stay at Seahorse Lodge again. Our cleaners work hard to remove all traces of dogs so I am sorry that a few hairs remained. The owners are very committed to providing a high standard and acting on feedback so there are plans in place for a door to be installed at the earliest opportunity.

Another wonderful stay at Seahorse

The lodge facilities are perfect for a holiday on the East coast - have not found anything better (although that mirror still gets some getting used to). The size of the lodge is much more than comfortable for the five of us and two dogs and the views are priceless. The Bay continues to be maintained to the highest standards and the walks and the beaches in the area are outstanding. Plenty of beautiful, different places to explore locally and along the coast - even after six consecutive years at the Bay!

So glad to hear you enjoyed your stay with us again and appreciate the lodge's size and situation.

love staying at Seahorse

We have stayed in a few places on the bay, Seahorse is my favourite!
We like the meadow view and the fact that it is a quieter area

This was our second visit to Seahorse lodge. I had forgotten how lovey it is. Definitely has the wow factor when you first enter. We had our son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren with us for part of the week.
What an amazing property this is. Exceptionally clean and tidy. Everything we needed was provided. Very spacious with wonderful views overlooking the meadows. We really enjoyed the homely feeling of returning after a day out. Can’t wait to return again.

Staying at Seahorse lodge for Christmas time was just wonderful. We were greeted with all the comfort and joy you need for a special relaxing time. Seahorse lodge was full of little touches that made our stay just perfect, even a Christmas tree! We have stayed at The Bay many times, but the location of this lodge is the best yet. It is quiet and the view across the meadow is delightful as the sun comes up and goes down. The opened plan living space is lovely, enabling everyone to be together while chilling. We will definitely be back. The site itself has all the amenities you need: a shop, a pub and a swimming pool, although the leisure complex is looking a little tired! The best thing for me is access to the gorgeous beach, miles of open space to walk and take in the glorious power of the sea. Thank you Seahorse for a lovely stay.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Seahorse Lodge and would definitely recommend to everyone. The whole system of booking ran like clockwork. The only matter to raise was the links on the emails for extra information didn't seem to work. The position of accommodation was perfect and the little extras left were a lovely touch on arrival. Just found the welcome letter in a drawer 3 days in to our stay, maybe leave it out on a table, but apart from that we are looking to book for next year.



Paula replied 324 days ago
Thanks for your lovely review. I have now added a line in my emails to say if people find they can't work the links they should contact me for a PDF version - I'm just trying to do what I can to reduce email sizes!

A Fantastic Place for a long weekend away.

The Lodge is perfect. Great location, great condition. And very well equipped with everything you would need.

The only additional requirement is to have more towels as there wasn't enough for one each per person.



Paula Foster replied 336 days ago
I'm very sorry to hear you didn't have the right number of towels - if you had let me or my cleaning team know we could have sorted that straightaway - it must have been an oversight as we always leave a bath towel per person!

This is the third year we have stayed at the Lodge with our grandsons and family.
Extremely well equipped with everything you need. Excellent clear views over the flower meadows.
Unfortunately the weather not very good this year and we were unable to take advantage of the excellent outdoor seating for relaxation and eating.
Great to have en suite facilities attached to each of the bedrooms. Well equipped with books, games and DVDs to entertain everyone on a wet day!!
Swimming pool used on a regular basis to keep the boys happy.
Close to Filey - great walk along the wonderful beach.
Despite the weather a good time was had by everyone.



Paula replied 324 days ago
It's great to have you and your family stay every year at Seahorse Lodge and I'm sorry the weather was so poor this summer. It sounds like you still found lots to do together. Maybe see you again next year?

Lovely lodge in great location.

Enjoyed one week in Seahorse Lodge with family. Although the weather was mixed (!) we had a great time. The Lodge was spacious, well equipped and in lovely condition. The views across the meadow were exceptional. The facilities on site (especially the Pool) made for a great holiday. And Filey Bay beach is one of the best. Would recommend and happily return.



Paula replied 362 days ago
So glad to hear you enjoyed your week away. We can't do anything about the weather sadly, but sounds like you enjoyed the lodge, views and amenities on offer. Hope you return soon too.

Another perfect stay on The Bay, this is our second stay at Seahorse lodge and we didn’t want our holiday to end, the lodge is so comfortable and in a fabulous location. We had great weather which was a bonus. The John Paul jones pub is great with lovely food and the staff are so friendly and helpful . Thank you Paula as always for arranging our holiday at The Bay . Always recommend your properties to family and friends . We will be back very soon

The accommodation is excellent: spacious, comfortable and well-equipped with everything in good condition. The locations of the lodge and of The Bay resort, are outstanding: miles and miles of wonderful, dog-friendly beaches, and cliff top and meadowland walks; plenty of traditional, welcoming seaside resorts within easy reach; very good on site facilities and staff; and wonderful panoramic views from every angle.



Paula replied 324 days ago
Thanks for taking time to review. Sounds like you had an action-packed break but also fitted in some relaxing at the lodge too.

We loved our stay, perfect location, everything we could possibly need, comfortable, stylish, everything was spot on.
Our only issue was the microwave dial wouldn’t turn to extend the timing, just a minor inconvenience!

Excellent location and well equipped lodge. Had everything we needed for our stay. Our family joined us for a special birthday celebration weekend and we all had a great time. Beds were comfy and the location was quiet. The kitchen was well equipped and the living area was spacious and the tv and games provided lots of entertainment The pool, pub and other facilities were great and the staff were very friendly
Just a few small negatives:-
The bbq was useless!
The road to the facilities was very dirty and messed up our shoes and cars
The cleaners were meagre in terms of what they left. No spare bin bags and only one tea towel

Great break away



Paula replied more than 1 year ago
Thanks for your lovely review of the lodge. Sorry you struggled with the BBQ - they're standard construction so not sure what the issue was. There is also the option to use a disposable on top of the rack. As mentioned in your other review, we are hoping for an update soon on the road surface work. I would have arranged more supplies if you had let me know too as we have an onsite team who can drop things off.

The Seahorse Lodge was an excellent choice for our family.

We have just returned from an amazing 3 night stay at The Seahorse Lodge. Firstly the Lodge is very spacious even though we are a family of six we never felt in each others way. The Lodge is very well equipped with everything you need, very comfortable also it was spotlessly clean. The location is perfect with views over the meadow and easy walking distance to the amenities. The beach is a short walk away, there is a steep hill coming back but well worth it.
We would not hesitate to book this lodge again .

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful lodge. Spotlessly clean, really well equipped and very cosy. It is the perfect distance from amenities and the beach, far enough away to be quiet and peaceful, yet close enough to everything. Thanks to Paula for sorting out our very last minute booking. We had a fabulous time and will definitely be back.
