A very pleasant break, the property is very impressive and everything provided for you to make it a home from home. If the weather is not great we had lots of games provided in the property to keep you occupied. Even a leisure pass was provided for you to use the site facilities.

As a party of three we cannot think of anything negative to say about Oyster Cottage, it had everything we wanted, well equipped kitchen, homely and comfortable living area, doors leading to a lovely patio area with table and seating. The balconys accessed from the bedrooms were a treat to sit in the evening and morning and watch the waterfowl coming into land in the nearby lake. Oyster Cottage is in a quiet and peaceful corner of The Bay, yet less than 5 minutes walk to the Pub and shop etc, and with plenty of parking. The furnishings and decor was modern and tasteful, and the cleanliness of the place was excellent.

Disappointed with the check in time of 16.30, very late in the day and then had to leave by 10.00am on check out day.

Cleanliness wasn't brilliant but I understand that the cleaners probably have a short window for each property.

Impressed with the customer service up to and during the stay. Anthony at Anchor Bay excellent job




Anthony replied 94 days ago
Thanks for taking the time to do a review. We are sorry your were disappointed with the check in time and the cleaning. Upon discussing this with you I did stress that our customer service prides ourself (you said this was excellent in the review) on being reactive and all you had to do was ask and we would have accommodated an early check in and or late check out at no cost to you. In addition you mentioned the cleanliness - we are sorry we missed a stray daddy longlegs next to the fireplace (the property is next to a meadow and semi rural) and apologise if this caused you upset - again we would have willingly come out and rectified this should you have contacted us as we ask in the arrival information if anything is wrong. Thanks again and safe travels.

We enjoyed our short stay. We found several things quite minimal - ie no shelf in showers, not enough tumblers. Very disappointed (especially at this time of year) to find that the washing machine was only that and not a dryer as well - advertising needs updating. Otherwise a good stay - warm and comfortable.



Anthony replied 345 days ago
Hi - thank you for taking the time to review our property - we are so glad you had a lovely holiday. I have checked the advertising and it clearly states washing machine and not washer dryer in the listing - so I am not sure where you got that from? We will of course take the feedback on board and look to have shelves in the showers as well as stocking the tumblers back up. Thanks again and we look forward to welcoming you again soon.

Another excellent stay

Great location to relax and enjoy facilities on site and surrounding towns. Beautiful, comfortable house that is equipped well with stunning balcony’s.
If travelling with young ones, encourage to take a plastic cup/plate or two. None available and whilst no damage, was a concern.
Whole family loved the house (including day tripping grandparents) and having stayed in the Bay prior, our favourite holiday home by far.



Gaynor Rogers replied more than 1 year ago
Hi there Laura, A massive and sincere thank you for your lovely review. We are delighted that you had such a great holiday at Oyster Cottage. We loved your comments about the balconies which are indeed a lovely addition and the Cathedral windows make it very special. A good point about the child cutlery and crockery and we will look into this. Hope you have a great rest of the summer and please come back to Oyster any time or you could check out her lovely sister Gingerbread Cottage too https://www.anchorbayholidays.uk/accommodation/gingerbread-cottage Take care Gaynor

Lovely looking cottage, clean and comfortable. This cottage is light and bright with four sets of bifold doors, two downstairs and in the bedrooms leading to a balcony. Three adults, two children and two dogs stayed and we had plenty of room even on the rainy days!

Wow! Beautiful cottage with stunning windows and full length balcony accessible from both of the good sized bedrooms each providing en-suite facilities!
Quality fixtures and fittings throughout the cottage providing a very comfortable stay.
Loved the coffee / tea / milk and biscuits welcome pack too.
Very peaceful location on a lovely site with easy access to a beautiful dog friendly beach.
Please note the cottage is overlooked by a couple of other lodges but this did not in any way spoil our wonderful holiday.
Parking was never an issue for us and spaces were just outside the cottage.

Can I please suggest providing key fobs to highlight which keys are for the downstairs bi-fold doors/windows and which keys are for the bedroom bi-fold doors/windows? The weather was extremely lovely during our stay so we opened these every day but this did become a bit of a chore working out which key fitted what door every time.

On site: Lovely dog friendly family pub, menu limited but meals were lovely. Costa coffee and cake also available at the pub.
Coffee shop on site was closed during our stay but looked a nice place to visit with outside seating available at both the pub and the coffee shop
Mini supermarket shop on site well stocked for essentials but extremely pricey!

We had a perfect holiday in a perfect cottage
Thank you

Hi Michelle, I just want to say a massive thank you for this wonderful review. We really appreciate your positive feedback as it means the absolute world to us. We love Oyster Cottage and we also love it when other people come along, and can share in the joy of staying at such a special place. Really strange that you mentioned about the keys, as we are in the process of organising all the bifold doors to have thumb locks, which are all operated by 1 key [Emoji Removed] So actually, it is really relevant feedback to us and just shows that we are on the right track with this. We would love for you and your family to come back at any time to stay at Oyster and we wish you all the very very best and have a great rest of the year. Kindest regards Gaynor and Mark Rogers Owners.

What a wonderful property and also a beautiful site. The cottage was bright, clean and comfortable and had everything you could need. The full span windows and balcony were amazing. It's location was fabulous and a short walk to the beach, the on site pub served delicious food and my children enjoyed the arcade. Only problem we had was after traveling 4 hours we arrived to find the area had a power outage. So the first night was a write off! After getting out from school/work and traveling for hours we really needed a cuppa and a shower. We weren't informed of this etc, couldn't charge phone or get internet to check and ended spending the night sat in the dark unable to do anything. Saying that though I would definitely return again! We had a lovely time and thought the little finishing touches where lovely. My family and Rambo our dog would love to return!



Anthony replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for the review and we are so pleased you enjoyed your break. As you said on that evening we had a major power outage in the area. We attempted to contact all guests but due to the power outage we understand that some messages didn't get through. The power cut was a huge power outage across the Filey area and was outside of our control. We did get support from the village pub and these were open to you if you needed power. The power was restored a little over two hours from the power cut so you should have had wifi and power for most of the night.

A lovely first holiday with our baby

We had a fantastic stay at Oyster Cottage and we’re wowed by the windows at the property.
I had initial issues locating the leisure pass, and despite it being bank holiday, Anthony replied within 30 seconds to help!

The property had been freshly cleaned when we arrived but unfortunately the rug and sofa still had lots of dog hairs on. Whilst it’s a dog friendly property so I understand finding a few completely, the rug was pretty gross and it meant we wasn’t comfortable putting our baby down on there to sit it or roll around.

Other than that, we would highly recommend. The rooms were lovely, plenty of towels. The little welcome pack was greatly received.

We would return.



Gaynor Rogers replied more than 1 year ago
Hi there Josie, Many thanks for taking the time to provide this review and we are delighted that you loved the cottage. May I sincerely apologise that the rug and sofas were not cleaned to the usual high standard we expect. We are very disappointed with this and should anything like this happen again, please contact the letting agent and he would arrange for a cleaner to come round and rectify immediately. I have passed on your feedback to the cleaning company to ensure that this does not happen again. I am so pleased that you will return and thank you so much for your lovely comments about the windows, towels and welcome pack. Hope you return soon, Gaynor

This was our first holiday taking our dog with us so we were a little apprehensive but this could not have been a better choice. The cottage itself was amazing, clean, fabulous location, well stocked with utensils, kitchen equipment etc. the best towels I’ve ever had in a holiday cottage!!!! And plenty of them. A lovely little welcome back with teabags, milk, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid etc just enough for a long weekend. Little things that are very thoughtful. The upstairs balcony was beautiful to sit out on and we were very lucky with the weather. We had the added bonus of watching a bird with her chicks in the nest she had built in the corner. The location to the shop, the beach, the coastal path was so close yet also very very private and peaceful. We will definitely be returning. The owners called as they were on site when we had a tiny problem with the key box and they were so friendly and helpful as was the man we called about the key. Excellent customer service that makes you keen to return. Thank you

We have recently returned from a lovely stay. We arrived mid evening so we just about had time to have our tea and get settled. When I went to make breakfast I realised that we didn’t have any kind of washing up liquid and on reading the welcome pack it stated we would need to pop the dishwasher on at the end of our stay, but we hadn’t brought any dishwasher tablets either. We got in touch with housekeeping and it was very easy. The team had forgot our welcome packs which included the basics of what we needed to keeping the kitchen clean and also some tea, coffee, soft drinks and biscuits. We also asked at the same time for some towels that we could take to the pool - this all happened extremely quickly. The property is lovely and we had a very comfortable stay. I’ve dropped a star for the location for two reasons. The first (main reason) is that the photos of the property do not show the many lodge style properties that now occupy the land directly out of the rear of the property (bedrooms) . Presumably they were taken before these were in situ, however I was a bit disappointed as we partially chose this property because it wasn’t overlooked and we could have additional privacy from the balcony and to the rear of the property. This wasn’t the case. Also- and something that may be unavoidable but on one occasion we couldn’t get parked in any of the parking bays. Our son is disabled so this is quite important to us. We had to park partially on the grass (which is not ideal for any party) and keep an eye out for when a space was free which was late at night and move the car so it was parked correctly. Whilst this wasn’t a major issue I felt very uncomfortable parking like this and it would have been a challenge should we have needed any kind of accessibility equipment. I have to end by saying that we would return and are very likely to. The positive points of our stay far outweigh what are minor points in the grand scheme of things .



Gaynor Rogers replied more than 1 year ago
Hi there Lorna, Many thanks to you for taking your precious time write this review. We really appreciate your feedback and want to start by saying how delighted we are that you enjoyed your stay at Oyster Cottage and for bearing with the cleaning company when they missed the welcome pack. Thank you for bringing it to our attention so we could sort this out asap for you. We are sorry about the misunderstanding about the lodges in front of the property. We have checked the website photos and they are a true representation if you look carefully you will see where they are situated but I wish we could indeed do something about this but sadly it is beyond our control- as is the parking. But thank you so much for bearing with us and for not it letting this mire your stay and for your very fair evaluations. This does really mean everything to us. We do have a sister cottage to Oyster and she is really lovely too and has her own dedicated parking spot with an EV charger too. If you wish to take a look you can find the details on https://www.anchorbayholidays.uk/accommodation/gingerbread-cottage. We would love to have you and your lovely family stay with us again any time Lorna. All the very best, Gaynor and Mark

Hi, lovely holiday home very comfortable, we were there for 3 weeks very central for walks to the beach, the towels and bed sheets were changed after 2 weeks. The only slight negative was the central heating was set too low, it has been very cold and it it became quite chilled at times. There is a log burner which was very handy, but we did burn a few trees during our stay. Overall i would recommend this holiday cottage and would return.



Gaynor Rogers replied more than 1 year ago
Hi Peter, Thank you so much for your great review and lovely comments. They mean the world to us. So very sorry that you felt the heating was low.
