We had a short but comfortable stay at Bluebell Cottage. Its homely and has good access to the beach. Only things I can recommend for better is it to have it deep cleaned before next visitor.

We had a lovely weekend and visited Pickering, Thornton Le Dale, and Whitby. The weather was good and we enjoyed some good food at the Glasshouse @Charlotte’s in Filey.

We stayed in Anchor Bay with our little boy and had a great time. The cottage was well-equipped and equally well located and we liked how close the pub was for food and drinks. The pool on site was also great, as was the park.
The beds at the cottage were extremely comfy and we slept well. A great stay and we're looking at going back with our large, extended family (30+ of us) next summer.

As in most holiday places we have visited the bathrooms lack shelving for personal things, in this instance the mirror was unusable unless you were a child. The none slip bath mat for use in the shower had black mould on. For females the mirrors in the bedrooms were inadequate one was in a cupboard with no light or plug available the other in a corner over drawers but no plug available. Everything else was first class. A really well equipped kitchen and a comfortable sitting/ dining area. The beds were excellent very comfortable and warm bedding. The Bay itself was a little disappointing with the only choice of eating was the very expensive pub, the Four Cats restaurant was never open, no where to get a coffee until mid day when the pub opened.



Anthony replied 100 days ago
Thank you so much for your review and bringing the mirrors to our attention - this has not been feedback in the three years we have had the property so this is useful feedback. We are not responsible for the opening hours of the eateries on site but will pass the feedback on. We are so glad you had a lovely holiday and look forward to welcoming you back soon!

From the moment we booked our stay at Bluebell cottage, the communication from Anthony was outstanding. The cottage itself was immaculate and very homely. We stayed for 5 nights and The Bay is a wonderful base to explore the Yorkshire Coast. Bluebell cottage itself is so relaxing with a modern decor and comfortable beds. You are provided with plenty of towels for your stay. I would definitely stay here again and it has genuinely been our favourite UK break

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely book with Anchor again. We had no issues whatsoever regarding the accommodation.

Had a lovely short break, in a very conformable cottage. We'll equipped for couples and families alike. From small child equipment today, out at the beach. Everything you need, for a homely stay. Felt more like a small village. Than a holiday stay . Only thing we found, was unsure where to park. But we had availability behind the cottage. We didn't use the pool. But looked very quiet. Cottage didn't need heating on, as was very warm. Very close to lots of different beaches. Would definitely recommend. Cottage came with everything you needed. So just pack your case and enjoy Anthony was a great guy to talk with. Very helpful . Looking to another stay with anchor bay.



Anthony replied 276 days ago
Thank you so much for your review. We do put in the arrival information a note specifically to park at the rear and send you a map with this shown on it. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Thank you again Anthony

Very comfortable and well kitted out. Plenty of crockery and utensils. We have stopped here before as we know the owners. We tried to use swimming pool but always full maybe some sort of booking system would be good. Beach was nice but hilly to access.

This was a nice house for a family of 4. We are in fact are a family of 5 and opted for the sofa bed for our eldest daughter. What we didn't consider however was them sleeping in for ages or wanting an early night and that put the downstairs largely out of action for times we might have used it because its small and open plan downstairs so even boiling the kettle is loud.

Location was good. The walk to the beach cafe is recommended and is the food in the pub. The shop is handy but closes early. We never used the other facilities as limited availability and preferred to venture out for the day.

Finally e didn't take our dog, although was going too but in hindsight I'm glad because there is no garden to let them run free and you have to keep them on leads until you get to the beach. We have a springer and he likes to run free so glad we didn't take him although the other dogs there seemed to enjoy the beach of course.

All in all - nice purpose built complex.





Anthony (manager) replied more than 1 year ago
Hi Thank you so much for taking time to write your review. We offer the sofa bed to ensure that larger families can get the best value without opting for a three bedroom house - and we do list the location of the sofa bed in the listing. We sadly are not allowed to enclose the gardens on the bay and we have a dedicated dog page on our website. Some of the houses do have balconies and enclosed decks now (e.g. on the lake) and these are marked on the pet icons on the site. Thanks again and look forward to welcoming you soon.

Fabulous well stocked cottage. The tea, coffee and biscuits were a nice touch. Exceptionally clean, lovely decor, beds very comfy.
One slight issue, could do with a rubber bath mat, bath is so deep, tricky to get out off without grab rails. Otherwise,
everything was perfect, even the weather.

Blue bell cottage was the perfect accommodation for our family holiday.
The cottage was spotless and very comfortable we were very happy to be staying there.
The heated towel rail in the bathroom was a Godsend, no soggy towels to deal with, thank you Sarah and Iain and all at the Bay.

We have stayed at the bay many times before and loved this cottage . Newly refurbished in a get location close the the entrance of the complex . The back of the cottage is tucked away a little which was perfect ! We’ve noticed some cottages face on to big open spaces making your patio less private and sometimes a little noisy. Comfort a 4 as I didn’t get on with the pillows but that’s nothing new for me . Had everything you could possibly need and more in the kitchen , the washer dryer came in handy after swimming.

We enjoyed a lovely stay and the cottage was ideal for our needs, it was very clean and well furnished.
It is well situated for exploring the local area and we went to a different place each day to explore (Whitby, Scarborough, Bridlington, Hornsea, Filey).

We twice had a lovely meal at The Glasshouse at Charlotte's in Filey.

We are looking forwards to coming again in October to stay.

Lovely cottage very clean and modern perfectly situated on the Bay
Very spacious
The only gripe I've got is that the heating was locked.and we couldn't turn it on in the day and we had my 83 year old mum with us and the weather was very cold
Will definitely book again but maybe not in march



Sarah and Iain replied more than 1 year ago
Thanks so much for your review and feedback, glad you enjoyed your stay. I’m sorry you were unable to adjust the heating. Given the energy crisis we hope you understand the reasoning for locking the heating. It is set to come on at colder times of the day to try and maintain a comfortable temperature. Hope to welcome you back soon.

Bluebell cottage is home from home. There is everything you need and more for your stay. Loved the cleanliness and decor of the cottage with a comfy sofa and comfy beds. The location was great, just a short stroll to the amenities. Which we used. We visited Filey and Whitby for the weather was kind to us. With lots of walks on the beaches. We all felt relaxed and can't wait to return

Myself, my wife, 2 boys and dog spent a week at Bluebell Cottage during February half term. On arrival, the place was spotless, and the owners had left a bottle of Prosecco and some biscuits as a welcome treat, which was lovely. The beds were comfortable and bathroom was clean. The Bay as a site has everything you need and is dog friendly. We had a lovely stay and would go back to Bluebell Cottage in a heartbeat.

Lovely cottage in a great location. Lovely walks to beach through woodland or through village.
Unfortunately not somewhere we would visit again because of garden situation. Would have loved a closed in area to let dogs outside but all areas round cottage are open so they had to remain indoors while we were indoors.
Cleanliness could have been better. And New bedding and pillows a must.
Thank you for a lovely stay



Sarah and Iain replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you so much for the review and glad you enjoyed your stay. Unfortunately it is a stipulation from the Bay that no property is allowed to fence off the garden area. We have fed back to the cleaners about the cleanliness and bedding and will ensure spare pillows are available.
