Lovely bank holiday weekend stay. It’s my second time at shell cottage. Easy booking and checking in with great information received prior to arrival.
My only niggle was that the airfryer was left dirty from a previous guest and appreciate it says that the cleaners are not responsible for this I do think this should be checked. The addition of the larger fridge freezer this year was great. My only recommendation would be if there were a few more larger baking trays available (for pizzas and such like) but overall a lovely stay and a lovely little house. Would stay again. Sorry forgot to write in the guest book.

We stayed at Shell Cottage at The Bay. The Cottage was clean, comfortable and had everything a family would need. We had use of a leisure pass which was perfect for my children who enjoyed using the pool. The cottage was situated about a 15-20 minute walk from the lovely beach, which we enjoyed going to. The location was ideal for trips to Filey, Flamborough, Scarborough and Bridlington. We had a lovely break away and would not hesitate to go back to Shell Cottage.

This was our 4th time staying at The Bay but our first time in Shell cottage. Shell cottage had everything you need for the perfect stay.
The family photographs gave the cottage a lovely family feel. A lovely outdoor patio overlooking a small grassed area.
The facilities on The Bay are excellent it’s a shame that the coffee shop has closed.
We will definitely return

Had a lovey weekend at this little place , everything you need to know. Beds are very comfy , however the floor boards need sorting upstairs, that was the only gripe . They rest was lovely

A lovely holiday home, spacious and very comfortable. Close to all local amenities and plenty of parking. All necessities are catered for within the house. Only complaint is midway up the stairs is very creaky.

We are regular visitors to shell cottage and over the years many happy memories have been made. This time was no exception. Shell cottage is comfortable and homely and has everything you need for a family holiday. We thoroughly enjoyed our walk to Filey (3 miles along the beach) and we had a glorious few days on the beach building sandcastles and paddling in the sea. We also went swimming, went to the amusements, and got ice cream sundaes from the pub on site. A fun packed weekend! We can’t wait to visit again soon.

The cottage was lovely, really welcoming, with all mod cons and everything you need, indoors and outdoors. It was great to feel like we were coming to a home from home on an evening. The location is fabulous, close to the beaches, Filey, Flamborough Head and more, including a 40 minute drive to Dalby Forest in the North Yorkshire National Park. I’d happily recommend and stay here again, thank you
