Great Stay - very comfortable

We enjoyed our stay, very well equipped and comfortable. One minor gripe no cupboard for food storage without relocating equipment. Dining chairs need some TLC and the vacuum cleaner didn't work but otherwise all okay.
Response from VrboOwner on Sep 16, 2026
Thanks for the lovely review. We have recovered a couple of the dining chairs, and thanks for lettings us know about the hoover. We reorganised the cupboards too :-)

Great house in The Bay!

We really enjoyed our stay here. great property, the balcony off the main bedroom was lovely to sit out on. It was also good having the boules pitch out the back, we took our own set and used it every day. There was a small issue with one of the beds which was sorted immediately. Couldn't have asked for better service! We would definately stay here again.

Excellent dog friendly cottage in a quiet area with a fantastic balcony.

We really enjoyed our stay in Prospect Cottage. It is well- placed in a quiet area of the Bay at Filey complex. We loved having our breakfast on the balcony! There is plenty of seating in the living room. One settee is well worn and uncomfortable. In the kitchen every item you needed was there. It was really helpful having aluminium foil and washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets available too. When there was any issues it was easy to contact the First Bay Direct who responded very quickly. We enjoyed our stay very much and loved taking our dog to the beautiful beach.

A great stay

We stayed at Prospect Cottage whilst we were looking at houses in the area, as we love it so much we are moving up there. The cottage was well set out with plenty of room. Views onto the green were lovely and the balcony upstairs was great for sitting with a coffee. Evenings were a delight Sat on the reclining sofa while we discussed houses or watched some tv. A great stay which felt too short.

Excellent cottage for weekend stay

Comfortable and spacious. Quite a walk from the beach end, but we don't mind that at all. Kitchen is well equipped, dishwasher tablets would be useful as we forgot ours for the first time. Overall, very happy with accomodation.

We enjoyed our stay. Parking OK due to time of year. Hot water setting not ideal. Hot water not always available.

Thanks for your review. Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. We are a bit perplexed as it's a combi boiler so instant hot water at any time.
