We stayed at Sandy Shores for 10 days over Christmas and New Year with our small dog. We was quite surprised to learn our stay was the last before a full refurbishment. We have stayed in at least 7 other properties on the Bay at Filey, Sandy Shores was definately up there as one of the best even in its current condition. We loved our stay, it was home from home, super cozy and warm with everything we needed to chill and enjoy the festive period. Special thanks to Mark, Becky and Teddy for the most beautiful hand chosen tasty 'Yorkshire' hamper, we all loved it. We will keep an eye out on the refurb and be sure to book again.

I would definitely recommend and stay again. The house had everything you needed and was in a prefect position for the beach.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had such a lovely stay at Sandy Shores Cottage! The place was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and so comfortable — it really felt like a home away from home. The beds were super cosy, and we loved relaxing in the living room after long walks on the beach.

Our dogs absolutely loved it too — plenty of space for them to settle and a perfect location for coastal walks. It’s so nice to find somewhere that’s genuinely dog-friendly and still feels luxurious. We’ll definitely be coming back again soon!

We stayed at Sandy Shores for four nights and enjoyed every minute. It did help that the weather was warm and sunny and were able to make full use of the balcony which has a lovely view of Filey bay.
The house is lovely and clean and we felt well catered for. Thank you.

We recently had a weekend break at Sandy Shores. The cottage is in a perfect location, only seconds from the path to the beach and a couple of minutes from the facilities, close enough for convenience but far away enough not to be disturbed by everyone using them. The Balcony is a fabulous addition and we were fortunate enough to enjoy a stunning february day so took advantage and sat out enjoying the view with a cup of tea. We’ve stayed at The Bay a number of times over the past 6 years at various cottages and this was our first time at Sandy Shores and definitely not the last!
The cottage was immaculate and well cared for, definitely our favourite by some distance.

We had a wonderful few days at Sandy Shores. The house is clean, comfortable and warm, which was really welcome after a day out exploring the area. Equipped with everything we needed for a lovely stay. The site is absolutely spotless and beach is just a few minutes walk away from the property. What more could you want? We will definitely be back.

We adored everything about Sandy Shores! Highly recommend it for a dog-friendly and child-friendly holiday. To have a completely dog-friendly beach just 10 mins walk away was a big win. We only used the pub once but there are lots of amenities within easy reach. A great adventure playground (though needs a bit of upkeep as one swing was broken). Clean, comfortable and spacious house. Especially loved the balcony, outside seating area, comfy beds, and open plan living/ kitchen area. Will definitely be back!!

We had a lovely stay in Sandy Shores. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The site was peaceful and the walk to the nearby beach was pleasant. On site, we enjoyed use of the pool and gym, the pub/restaurant and the kids enjoyed the park and amusements. The onsite shop was handy although we did get a supermarket delivery on arrival. Ideal place for families or couples and although we didn't bring a dog, the site and area were very dog friendly. The location is great for day trips and we enjoyed exploring Filey, Scarborough, York, Whitby and Robin Hoods bay as well as a fun trip to Flamingo land. Recommend for a great holiday.

Second time visiting Sandy Shores and good to know you can trust the accommodation to be everything you need for a stress free break. Weather was poor so we enjoyed the Filey Bay distillery visit and the pie pub. Had a nice meal in the Jon Paul restaurant on site and the on site swimming pool was also handy! When the weather cleared we enjoyed Sewerby Park and Bempton Cliffs.

We had a great stay in this well maintained, clean house in an excellent location. We are a couple with a child and a dog, and the house was a good size for us, with plenty of space. We had a problem which was sorted quickly over text, Paula was very accessible and provided excellent customer service. We hope to return soon.

The cottage was spacious, clean, close to the beach, and had all necessary utilities and equipment.
It has been the first time we had been to the beach in Filey, wanted to check out the area. If you like the location and walking your dog on the beach or meeting other dog owners in the pub on site then I can definitely recommend this cottage as the place to stay.
We encountered one minor issue with the heating (late autumn stay and arrived on a cold day) - that had been sorted out very promptly by the owner, thank you.

A real home from home that had everything we needed.
The balcony was a lovely place to sit and relax and the cottage was in a good spot ideal for the beach with its own parking.

We enjoyed our break at Sandy Shores. The location can overlook the sea and is 10 mins walk away to the beach. We have a one year old baby who is crawling so hygiene is very important to us. Kenny went out of his way to ensure it’s thoroughly cleaned before our arrival and we have everything we need for a happy holiday. I would recommend Sandy Shores.

A very nice stay and great location very close to the beach and on site park for our kids which was great !
Enjoyed the stay as a family and found everything great.
Only issue we had was that we had some gone off milk left in the fridge bottle to be fair was unopened but had just been out of a fridge for a while and the kitchen had not been cleaned fully but overall the cottage was brilliant and a good stay !

We’ve just had a week at Sandy Shores, had a fantastic week & we were expecting to spend more time in the house than we did but the weather was amazing every day so we were out most of the time! It’s a beautiful property & one of my favourites - we’ve been to The Bay lots of times. A great location, clean, comfortable & I would definitely return. Unfortunately we have to visit in school holiday time which of course is maximum price, but it was worth it! Great communication from FBD, will definitely use them again.

We had an amazing break at Sandy Shores. The location is perfect with a very short walk to the play area, leisure complex and restaurant. It is also next to the path to the beach which is about 10 minutes away with beautiful views the whole way. The property was lovely with lots of home comforts included and very clean. Overall it was a great place to stay!

We loved Sandy Shores. The house was cosy and clean. Lovely to soak in a nice deep bath after a brilliant beach side walk to Filey. Swimming pool was great for a rainy day and sitting out on the balcony looking at the sea when the sun came out was really relaxing. Can’t wait to stay again.
