Flip Flops

Absolutely brilliant property and location.

Have spent many happy holidays at the bay, and this property is the perfect mix of value and comfort. A short walk from the beach, the owner even sent us a gift package of treats for Christmas day. Amazing touch and this little action spurred us on to book again for our next two big holidays.

Fabulous accommodation, very clean comfortable and well equipped.

that good we have booked again next year.

We really enjoyed our stay in flip flops, it was the cleanest property we have stayed in so far in the Bay and had everything you needed for a relaxing self catering stay.

Lovely house in a perfect location within the bay.

A welcome basket would have been a nice touch. No complaints though :)

Flip flops was spotless, could'nt fault it.

Exceptionally well equipped with everything needed for a perfect holiday The property is in an ideal location for the beach, the pub and the shop, only downside is its a steep walk back up from the beach but worth the effort. Ideal location for Filey, Scarborough, Bridlington and Whitby.

Parking was available at the side of the house.

The house was lovely and clean throughout.It had everything we needed for our stay.We were very comfortable and the property is in a great location.The owner made contact with us before we arrived and was very friendly.Overall we had a lovely stay.

The accommodation at flip flops was very roomy,clean and had everything we needed.

It is definitely 5star accommodation. We will definitely return and would recommend it too others. It is only a short walk to the beach and you can walk to Filey from the beach. There is also a good bus service from the entrance to the Bay on the main Road if you don't want to use your car. We used the bus and the train service.

Wonderful house with great amenities, great location, the only criticism is whilst it’s dog friendly & has French doors opening to the garden, there’s no fence to the properties garden space to allow a dog to go outside without a lead, it’s something we weren’t aware of

What a lovely place!

Home from home. Will definitely return!

Amazing house.

Very comfy for my 80 year old mum. Perfect location. Woukd not hesitate to rrnt again *****

We absolutely loved our holiday at flipflops

This was our second stay at Flip Flops we really enjoy staying here as the property is clean, warm and very comfortable with everything we need.

The location is great it's lovely and quiet and ideally placed for accessing the beach and we like it so much we've already booked again for next year!

This is our second stay at Flip Flops and it was lovely.

The house is great with parking to the side. We had a minor problem with a large amount of residue left on the downstairs hard floors. Looked like whatever had been used to clean them was not mopped up and even after mopping it ourselves 3 times it didn't come completely clean. It was a worry as we had our dogs with us and worried incase it would be toxic to them. I contacted the owner who sent the cleaning manager to take a look. We were assured it was in no way toxic and asked if we would like it cleaning again. We declined this and felt the matter was resolved quickly and to our satisfaction. This would not put us off staying here again. The house is really well equipped and lovely and cosy on cold March days. Overall, another lovely stay with great amenities.

We loved our stay at Flip Flops, the accommodation was clean and welcoming we couldn't fault it.

Also it is in a great location close to the beach.

Just come back after a 3 day break at The Bay staying at Flip Flops.

It is our second time staying at this lovely house. Everything we needed was catered for. House was clean and inviting. Beds comfortable and shower in en-suite was lovely. We didn't use the main bathroom shower. The log burner was fab, especially as the weather was not great. Lovely to settle down on the sofa with it burning away in the background. The house is situated with-in a short walk to the beach. Had own parking, just be careful as the sleepers become very slippery. Would recommend Flip Flops and would stay again we had a lovely time.

Once again a brilliant trip to Flip Flops.

We have returned every year for a few years now and the property has been maintained to the highest level and never looks tired. Always clean and has to be one of the best located properties for all amenities and a very short walk to the local pub which is dog friendly and served great food as always The best endorsement a guest can give is to rebook and we did that yesterday see you next year Flip Flops !

Flip Flops strikes again!

We’ve stayed here a few times now and it never disappoints. It’s one of our top picks at The Bay - the location is brilliant (beach in one direction, coffee and the pub, gym and swimming in the other!), and everything’s just so easy. The house itself is spotless, super comfy, and has all the little touches that make it feel like a proper home-from-home. Honestly, it’s the kind of place you walk into and immediately relax. We’ll definitely be back - and if you’re looking for somewhere with a bit of charm and a lot of comfort, Flip Flops is the one!

Been here twice and would highly recommend.

We spent a lovely week at Flip Flops, the property was clean and comfortable and provided everything we needed for our stay.

The bathroom fittings need to be re-fitted as they have become loose over time but is of no detriment to the property. Ideally based for exploring the East coast and only a short walk from the beach. We would highly recommend Flip Flops and would definitely stay here again if we return to The Bay.

Wonderful property which was spotlessly clean and had everything we could wish for.

Very comfortable beds and quality furniture throughout. Bathrooms and Kitchen very high standard. Fantastic location. Loved the walks on the beach. Will definitely be staying again.

We had a lovely stay and would stay again.

Nice place, would definitely recommend. The only thing we would mention is (down to the cleaning before we came in) there was sand on the sofas in the living room. Some hairs left on the bath in the main bathroom. Could do with new place mats / coasters in living room. Some new pillows as a couple of them were lumpy and in bits.

The property was lovely and clean and comfortable with everything we needed and is in a great spot for accessing the beach.

We really enjoyed our stay and have already booked again for next year!

Another fabulous stay at Flip Flops - thank you!

The home is amazing and has a lovely quiet and convenient location within The Bay. This is an incredible property and most definitely our favourite when staying in Filey. Can't wait to stay again later in the year.

We had a lovely time staying over Christmas week.

With the added surprise of a welcome Christmas bag of presecco & Christmas cake which was a lovely touch. The house was perfectly equipped , comfortable & cosy. The fire was an added treat too! Would definitely stay at Flip flops again , we've stayed a few times in different houses on The Bay and this was one of the best especially being so close to the beach access , the dog loved it! I have looked for next year already & was slightly disappointed to see the prices have gone up quite dramatically , but I suppose hasn't everything recently . All in all a perfect stay

2nd time we’ve stayed at Flip Flops, comfy cottage but not as well equipped as last year when we stayed.

Sadly whilst coming downstairs I tripped over the stair gate and fell resulting in a broken foot. We tried our best to fit it properly but it seemed too small resulting in it coming loose every time you tried to open it. I’d recommend a better fitting gate in order to keep dogs downstairs, thanks.

This was our second stay at Flip Flops and just as good as our first visit.

We stayed for two weeks again and the property was lovely and clean on arrival, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It’s in a good location close to beach and site amenities and is good value for money.

Another excellent stay at Flip Flops, well presented, very clear and great location.

Everything you could need is here and we are already booked again for next year. Thank you

Lovely property, clean and comfortable with a fabulous log burner.

Great location for the beach and a base for exploring North Yorkshire. Our fourth time to The Bay complex, coming back next year too, Please note: on site cafe is not open, pub manager could not say if it was re opening next year. The lease is up on the pharmacy next year so not sure if that will be open either. The swimming pool is handy, having an adults only slot, has a sauna & steam room too. The shop is very handy for the basics.

The property was not a disappointment, it was exactly as described.

It was clean, with some nice little touches, washing liquid, liquid hand soap, tea bags, coffee, plus some other bits and pieces. My only complaint is that there was no tea pot supplied. Location was good only a short walk to the beach, down hill, and 5 minutes to the on site pub. Certainly would go back to this property.

Great location for the beach.

Clean and comfortable. Provides everything you need. Would highly recommend

Great property, everything you need.

Clean and spacious.

Excellent accommodation has everything you need really comfortable good location feels like a home from home have already booked for next year.

Would highly recommend

Level of cleanliness was not good in the kitchen especially, cupboard door handles were sticky to touch as was the overhead extractor that was broken.

Some cutlery items were dirty. In the bedroom, drawers were dirty, the one next to my bed had lots black hairs it, I had clean it before I could put anything in it. The bathrooms however were very clean although the shared one was a little tired in places. The location was good, close to beach access and shops , the property had a balcony but it was in very close proximity to a neighbouring cabin so much so that you could see in to their windows, but it was nice to sit out when the weather permitted. I have stayed in other properties at the Bay and feel that there are others that are better value for money.

Lovely stay in Flip Flops, great resort with lots of facilities and access to the beach.

Enjoyable stay as usual.

Will definitely be back. Great location on the site.

Excellent property for a perfect holiday.

We stayed at Flipflops over the Easter break and were very happy with the accommodation and location.

The beds were comfortable, plenty of room for us all, we have everything we needed, and the location was fab for getting down to the beach. Would recommend and would stay again.

First time visit to flip flops and it was everything it said it was, lovely clean and homely which was great.

Overall a very clean house. In a lovely area and just 5mins walk to the beach which was great for the dog. Will be booking to visit here again for sure.

Third stay alway glad to stay at this cottage

THIS IS A REALLY LOVELY PROPERTY A REAL HOME FROM HOME ALL THE COMFORTS YOU WILL NEED.

CONVENIENT FOR THE NEARBY BEACH AND FILEY ITSELF.WOULD THOROUGHLY RECOMMEND.

Lovely cottage, very comfortable.

Only thing to report was the shower head in the main bathroom wasn’t functioning properly, however after a few adjustments my husband managed to get it to work.

Great property, in a good location for visiting the area and regarding the site facilities.

Would have liked a cafetière, and had a few problems with the tv (some instructions would be useful). Overall we enjoyed our stay and we’ve already booked again for next year.

Excellent location and beautifully kept property.

Second time booking at this time of year and already booked again for next year. Highly recommend both the property and the Bay for a dog friendly, relaxing break

We have stayed at The Bay at least a dozen times , but I must admit that ‘Fit flops’ is one of the best in terms of location- proximity to the beach and amenities .

The property itself was very comfortable, clean and provided with basic household products.

Flip Flops is a lovely property, home from home.

It is clean, comfortable, warm and well equipped, love it

This was our 2nd stay at Flip Flops & it was just great.

The house has everything we need for a stay away. Everything in the house is clean & comfortable and the facilities available on site are perfectly adequate. We love Filey & come back year after year & wouldn’t hesitate to stay again at Flip Flops if available.

Lovely accommodation, but compared to another cottage that we booked it was lacking in general items.

Great property and location.

We had an issue with the external drains which was sorted by the site team but otherwise a perfect holiday

Had a brilliant refreshed holiday stay.

Very clean , excellent quality , comfortable in a great location. Hidden gem.

Our second time at Flip Flops - Great location.

We will be back

Really pleased, a beautiful cottage, very clean and well maintained.

Close to the beach and in a perfect spot for visits to Scarborough, Bridlington, Flamborough & Whitby!

This is our fourth time at the flip flops, had a lovely holiday and it was nice to see bigger tv and new sofas.

This property is so handy for nice walks as just round the corner you can see the sea especially if you can’t walk far. It is very quiet location.

Fabulous property in the perfect location for lovely walks

We had a lovely break at Flip Flops, the property was very clean, warm and comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped.

Would happily return.

We had a great week at Flip Flops.

The house was clean modern and comfortable. Everything we needed had been provided by the owners. It is a short walk to the beach where we enjoyed walks with the dogs. Even the weather was kind to us. I would have no hesitation n recommending this property to anyone looking to visit this beautiful area.

Fantastic stay at a lovely clean house.

Everything needed is provided. Will be booking again soon. Thank you.

Lovely week in flip flops, really well equipped house - home from home.

Can’t wait to book our next stay at The Bay, the whole complex is fantastically maintained.

We had a relaxing week again Beautiful and clean house Looking forward to our next stay at flip flop in the near future

What a beautiful house and location.

We have had such a brilliant time and Flip Flops is exactly as described and felt so homely. Within an hour we were settled in and felt totally relaxed and The Bay is a well maintained and safe site , close to the beach and amenities. Lucky with the weather in late November / early December but i think we would have had a great time, whatever the weather. Excellent joining instructions and communication from the owners. 5 stars from our family

Really enjoyed our stay in this lovely property.

We will definitely be back and will also be recommending it to our friends and family.

We've just returned from a fabulous week at Flip Flops.

The accommodation was absolutely as described and the owners literally have thought of everything! The accommodation was immaculate and probably one of the best holiday stays we've ever had. This was our first stay at The Bay but we'll certainly be back. It's an ideal base for exploring the area and it's great that everywhere is so doggy friendly. Thanks for an amazing stay...highly recommended.

A lovely spacious house.

Has pretty much everything you need. Good wifi and plenty of dvds and games to play. Beds very comfy and towels are a good size too.

Lovely property in great location on The Bay between the beach & site facilities.

Spotlessly clean, comfy beds and great log fire for the evenings when it’s chilly. Would highly recommend and hoping to visit again!

New Enhancements not featured in the Photos : Second visit to Flip Flops and the owners have listened to feedback and actioned upon this with new additions not in the listing photos : The upgrade to a larger TV on a swivel mount in the lounge is amazing also the Ensuite now has a larger shower cubicle and a shower with a hand spray : This is a very well maintained cottage with excellent facilities looking forward to May 2023 Also The Bay now has a small shop and the John Paul serves Costa coffee as a take out facility as well as drink in

Lovely property, well equipped and spotlessly clean.

There is nothing I could fault.From arriving there we felt relaxed and enjoyed the stay.Excellent location for everything both on and off site including the beach. It would be even better if it could have a sofa bed and sleep 6 as there is space to do so. We hope to book again in the future.

We loved flip flops.

Great location and allocated car parking. Everything we needed the house had. Close to the beach, pub, and facilities. Superb. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely stay, Flip Flops is just like home from home but by the sea,everything you need for your holiday.

A clean, comfortable well furnished house. The balcony was a added bonus as gets the evening sun. We didn't watch TV alot but had no problem with the signal. We have been to the Bay many times and this is the best property so will definitely be booking again.

This was our fourth time to Flip Flops but sorry to say it will be our last the first day we arrived we could watch TV but then that night the TV downstairs and upstairs wouldn’t work we contacted the owner and also went to speak to the receptionist at the bay who wasn’t very helpful at all the owner did apologise and offered for us to go out for a meal to compensate but nothing happened.

we was issued that it would be fixed on the Monday which it wasn’t had to keep contacting the owner who could only apologise but my husband is highly vulnerable so we don’t tend to go out much to pubs and restaurants so all week we had no TV to watch at all we actually left a day early than planned because we just couldn’t stand the boredom anymore it’s a lot of money to stay at the bay and on an evening I like to relax and watch TV but we couldn’t do that we just felt like we were left to get on with it it wouldn’t have been so bad it was offered a part refund but nothing even if it was out of their control they should’ve offered something but since returning and looking at other peoples feedback it seems to be a common problem so we wasn’t happy at all. The owner suggested we go to the pub to watch TV but he wouldn’t advise it because the drinks were so expensive . We couldn’t of gone there every night. The man who works at the bay did come out to have a look at the TV I don’t think he knew what the problem was said he would go away and get back to me which he didn’t . Went back to reception again to ask what was happening, so all in all not a good experience and it did ruin our holiday because we were just waiting every day to see if it will come back on. . We also had no water the first night problem somewhere in Filey and they did send us some bottled waters out so we could flush the toilet . So all in all not a happy holiday sorry to say .

We have stayed three time previously but this was best property so far.

Would book again

Excellent Cottage with everything you need, great location and very cosy.

Fabulous.

Already booked for 2023

Great house in a great location.

Felt very homely. Very clean. Would definitely stay again.

3rd year Stopping here , although it is a lovely cottage and very clean , in my opinion it is starting to look tired and could do with a re-paint just to spruce it up a bit we cant fault the cottage and the area it is in , shame that next year prices are really high considering this years price

This was the 3rd time we have stayed at flip flops and found it lovely and clean and everything you need.

Very helpful and great location Love going to the bay at Filey. Only downside is the small shower from the main bedroom. But used the one over bath but when your older don’t feel as safe .

Our 2nd visit to Flip Flops.

Great location with quick access to the beach. The south facing balcony was very beneficial and particularly so with the winds off the sea so the balcony was wind free. Covid guidance obviously changes some aspects of the rental but they never caused us any issues. Bed was very comfortable (firmer than previous stay with new replacement recently). The beach is just glorious and the area is very scenic. Great rental and sure we will return again in the future.

Flips Flops is an amazing property, perfect location, spotlessly clean, stayed many times and will be staying many more.

...

Wonderful accommodation and The Bay has lovely views and walks along the beach.

The log burner makes a cosy evening in. Great take aways delivered.

This is the 2nd time we have been to flip flops and fourth time at the bay and found the house to be very clean.

We had a lovely week and have already booked for next year . The house has all the things you need , the soap dispenser didn’t work but we brought our on anyway . We totally understand the later check in times because of covid but what may be a good idea is a text message to say the house is ready as the cleaning could of been done first thing but we are having to wait until four 0 clock . Feel like we loose half a day as check out is at 10 . Lovely house and great for us as not far from walking the dog down to the beach. Can’t wait to return. Always clean around the bay . Found the drinks at the pub expensive. Could do with a little shop on site .

This was our second stay at Flip Flops and despite the conditions being very different to the first it was a breath of fresh air.

The owners care about their guests and the cleaning staff set a high standard (it was spotless, thank you). We and our little dog enjoyed walking on the sands of Filey Bay and Bridlington (whole cooked lobster bought for £12 at Arnolds fish merchants). The grounds of The Bay are well looked after and nearly all visitors staying smile and say hello. To say we enjoyed this stay would be an understatement. Thank you all.

The ‘Flip Flops’ was an ideal place for our family to stop for our holiday in Filey.

The accommodation was spotless, spacious and a perfect location for early morning walks along the stunning beach, the children body boarding on the waves and watching the sun set over the ‘Brigg’. In times of uncertainty we couldn’t have wished for a more welcoming cottage to let our family have some sort of normality even if it was just for 1 week.

FAB - U - LOUS

We have stayed at The Bay before in different accommodations all nice, but the owners of Flips Flops have made a special effort to ensure that the property is spotlessly clean and well equiped and very cosy.

We love Filey and have booked Flip Flops again.

Lovely cottage.

Very clean. Everything we wanted.

Lovely cottage very well equipped, in a nice quite location, excellent bus service.

Pub nearby that servers a very good selection of food. Booked our return as soon as we got home.

Flip flop had everything it's was great got there the was milk in the fidge so we could make a brew just what we needed

Accommodation excellent clean comfortable couldn't ask for anything better, perfect for a peaceful relaxing holiday.

Flip flops is a lovely house and close for everything.

House was clean , maybe could do with new mattress in main bedroom. Would stay again. And The Bay as always is spotless. Think you should inform guest who bring dogs that the meadow is closed. This is our 3rd visit to the bay and will be back.

The freestanding shower was tiny, none of us could shower comfortably and the fixed shower head meant that again, none of us could rinse away soap suds, shampoo, sand etc.

, etc. Like wise the shower over the bath was also a fixed head and the bath was quite high to climb in and out of with no hand rail. The built in wardrobe in both bedrooms had a lot of items already in them (towels, bedding, stairgates etc) made full hanging space impossible and no room to store suitcases. Blackout curtains would have been a bonus. Downstairs wasn't too bad apart from four adults, two two-seater settees but nowhere to put a cup of tea or a glass of wine. Cleanliness was a big issue. We moved the badly frayed rug so we wouldn't trip on it and there was a lot of sand, dust etc that we swept away. But the general cleanliness was lacking, thick dust on the towel radiator in the master bedroom, on the lamps, skirting board. Ornaments were dirty - did we really need them? Sorry about my rant but I needed to say this. We've had four visits to The Bay and will be coming back but not to Flip Flops - shame because we had always thought how nice it looked when we went on beach walks. And last but not least there was no clothes airer so items that couldn't go in the tumble drier had to be draped over radiators, not a pretty sight!

It is a shame that the meadow walk at The Bay is closed.

This is an important facit to the site and customers using the site should be warned of this. I hope that the site is not being greedy and building more properties on this land? Beautifully clean and fresh smelling property. The freezer was a great adition. Constructive criticism: a shower shelf inside the en-suite shower cubicle would be a great help, as shampoo etc have to kept on the floor - wet hair every shower and not everyone wants to wash their hair every day! :)

Excellent resort with everyone catered for.

Very dog friendly and ideal location.

Lovely home in a perfect location.

We hope to be back soon.

The house was fabulous and in a perfect position for everything.

I can only pass one negative comment and it is not directly at the house. I feel the cleaners let the owners down a little. The doors and kitchen cupboard doors had dirty finger marks on them and the curtains covering the patios were covered in dog hairs from quite a large dog. I must reiterate this is no negative on the property as its beautiful and I will definitely stay there again

Great location .

Great cottage . We would go back , hopefully next spring.

This was the first time we had been to this cottage/house, we only booked four nights, had we known how wonderful it was, we would definitely had booked for longer.

The property is excellent, spotlessly clean, very comfortable. Everything you need is there, the detail and quality is 100% . We took our two dogs with us , which for us is a plus. The walks to the beach are breathtaking, really relaxed place. We will hopefully be returning soon. A definite 10/10

Brilliant cottage and the best one yet we have stayed in.

Cleanliness was perfect, and comfort was excellent, and I would definitely stay here again, and I would give it 10 out of 10. Love The Bay Filey, and love to go Spring or September when it is a bit quieter. I can't recommend Sykes Cottages, Ease of booking and I have already booked my next holiday with them. Always recommend Sykes Cottages, and never dissapointed.

Flip Flops is a lovely property which is well equipped, extremely clean and very comfortable.

It is ideally situated within The Bay complex and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property for an enjoyable break.

the holiday village was absolutely brilliant and kept spotlessly clean lots of great facilities for the more energetic but lovely and quiet for a more relaxing holiday.

The cottage we stayed in Flip Flops was the best holiday home we have ever been in there was everything could need for a very pleasant time and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend both Sykes holidays and the Bay holiday village especially Flip Flops

Flip Flops is an excellent cottage and the cleanest we have stayed in at the Bay.

Location near to the pub and closer access to the beach is a nice bonus. Facilities are as listed on the Sykes web page but be aware that although it does have wifi it is extremely slow ( around 0.14 meg ) whilst we were there. Any issues during the stay were quickly resolves by Kenny or the owner - Peter. Bedrooms are large and two bathrooms was an excellent resource when you have a son who takes forever in the shower. Liked it so much we rebooked during the week for the same time next year.

The Bay resort has everything for a great holiday and the staff were an absolute joy .

We made good use of the pool and gym and of course the beautiful beach . Flip Flops our holiday home was lovely , very clean and smart a tribute to the owners . It was our first time to Yorkshire and we had some lovely days out from our base at the Bay . Thanks all again we will be back !!

yes enjoyed our time in the cottage its very clean and brilliant for our dog ,good walks for him so close to shops .

And the pub even allows your dogs very dog friendly which is important for us had another lovely time there

Love the bay cottage very clean and comfortable with great weather what more could you want

We had a wonderful time at flip flops, our 6th stay at the Bay it is beautiful and this accommodation exceeded our expectations, it was so comfortable and clean, we would highly recommend.

We shall definitely return here.

Having used Sykes’ and The Bay for the last 5 years I have to say this was probably t.

We best holiday we’ve had. The cottage is beautiful, clean and well situated for the facilities. We will definitely be returning.

Great cottage, nice and clean , great decor whilst at the same time purposeful ( wooden floor .

.. cottages near the beach ). Great communication making it easy to get to the cottage and use the cottage.... flip flops is very nice and well maintained.... should really give it a low score so availability would be better for me !!!!

The cottage was warm, very comfortable and clean.

There was everything we required in the cottage. We enjoyed our stay from the moment we walked in the cottage to the day we left. The beach was easily accessible. Would definitely stay again in this cottage.

Really great holiday, will come again.

The house was amazing, really clean.

We really enjoyed the balcony and would love to come back in summer for a different experience. Everything was here that we needed and Filey bay is a great place. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful house, well equipped and comfortable.

Would highly recommend, we were very impressed and grateful for all the provisions left,for our use.
