We had such a lovely stay at Lavender cottage, super location and the cottage itself is very clean and comfortable and has everything that is needed for a stay by the sea
We really enjoyed our stay at Lavender cottage. The cottage was spotless and had everything we would need, including a well supplied kitchen. The location of the cottage at The Bay was really nice, it had a lovely neighborhood feel, and the beach there is wonderful! We loved walking there in the evenings. We enjoyed Filey, the Piebald Inn, and we thought Bempton Cliffs and Flamborough were absolutely awesome for seeing the seabirds. Thank you for a wonderful place to stay, we loved it.
I have been to The Bay a few times, such a lovely place. Lavender Cottage was fab, very clean, beautiful inside and the owners communication was amazing. Thoroughly recommend staying here.
This is a lovely, well equipped and very comfortable property. Was perfect for us and our two teenage boys and the dog loved it too. Great location for exploring the Yorkshire moors and the coast and is within a short walk of a fantastic beach. Facilities on site good too.

Many thanks for your kind comments. We are really pleased to hear you had a great time and enjoyed the cottage. Hope to see you again in the future. Chris & Jayne
The house was very comfortable and clean. We all slept well and the beach was just a pleasant walk away. We had great weather too. Dog owners need to be more responsible with their dogs however. We would not hesitate to go again. Property was ideal for a small family.
We loved our visit to Lavender Cottage. It was super-comfortable, well equipped and Chris & Jayne made sure everything went smoothly. The location and access to the wonderful beach was perfect. Many thanks, Sue, Jim and Layla

Thank you Niki for taking time out to post a review, it means a lot to us to hear everything was to your liking and you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back again the the future. Chris & Jayne
The cottage was really nice - there were a few things missing like a tea towel and the dishwasher door caught on the washer door when closing - it was like that when we arrived. The upstairs was spotless and clean but the kitchen we felt had been cleaned by another person. Nevertheless we have a wonderful holiday that went too quickly.
Many thanks for your review Jane, we are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your New Year at the cottage. Thank you for booking with us and we hope to see you again in the future. Chris & Jayne
We had a wonderful stay at Lavender cottage. Hosts were excellent with communication prior and during our stay. Cottage was spotless and had everything we could need and more. Would definitely recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Chris and Jayne
Lavender cottage is owned by Chris and Jayne who live in Derbyshire.
We first came across The Bay in 2011 after taking a day off work to walk our German short-haired pointer along the beach from Hunmanby Gap to Filey to have some of the town's famous fish and chips. On seeing The Bay we fell in love with the place straight away.
We bought the cottage in late 2011 and have added many extras to make the cottage a real home from home and to ensure your holiday is as enjoyable as possible.
We visit the cottage as often as we can to escape everyday life as it's a great place to relax and unwind. We hope you enjoy the comfort of our cottage and enjoy the superb facilities that The Bay has on offer.
If you have any questions please get in touch.
Why they chose this property
We know the area well from family holidays and we've had many lovely times visiting the beautiful North Yorkshire coastline and roaming the surrounding moors. The area has something for everyone from stunning scenery and glorious stretches of sand to family-friendly seaside resorts and tiny fishing villages.
The cottage is new and modern but with a traditional look that blends into the surroundings. It provides a peaceful retreat with plenty of on-site facilities. The beach, wild flower meadow, lakes and facilities such as a leisure centre, swimming pool and pub are all a short walk away.
The location is within easy access to Filey, the North Yorkshire Moors, bustling towns of Scarborough and Bridlington and a bit further afield Whitby and York.
What makes this property unique
In all seasons it's a great place to get away from it all. It has a very relaxed feel but there is plenty to do if that's what you prefer.
A stroll along the beach, dip in the indoor heated swimming pool, and drink in the pub are all a short walk away. The Bay is a safe family friendly environment with 24 hour on-site security.
The cottage is in a great location with open aspect and sunny terrace. It's well decorated, furnished and has everything you need. We've also left a selection of books, DVDs, Wii, board games and beach accessories for our guests to use.
