About this property

Sea Urchins Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 5 guests in 2 bedrooms

Sea Urchins Cottage is situated on Turnberry Drive, and is one of the cottages closest to the beach path, plus only a few minutes walk to the playground, tennis court, and village centre.

Enter through the front door into the spacious hallway with coat and shoe storage bench, plus downstairs cloakroom under the stairs.

To the right is the open-plan lounge / dining / kitchen space. There are two sofas, a log burner, dining table and 6 chairs. The kitchen is well-equipped with a tall free-standing fridge-freezer. French doors open onto the patio with seating. The 2 parking spaces are also at the rear of the house, where there is also a large communal lawn with shrubs.

Upstairs, there are two self-contained bedroom suites. To the left is bedroom 1 with kingsize bed, full bathroom (bath with shower over), TV and storage, and a door onto the full-width balcony with seating and sea view.

To the right is bedroom 2, with a zip & link bed which can be set up as twin singles (3ft) or a superking bed on request. This bedroom has a newly fitted walk-in shower ensuite too.

On request, we also provide a camp bed for the 5th guest (child) which fits in the main bedroom or downstairs.

We leave games, toys, jigsaws, books, beach toys, pool toys and more for our guests to use. The log burner makes this cottage warm and cosy for breaks all year round.

​Please note the parking bay sleepers can be uneven and slippery when wet.

Amazing, sunny October break

A lovely cosy cottage with everything we needed for our stay. Comfortable sofas and beds. We chose sea urchins because it had two ensuite bathrooms and a TV in each bedroom. And most importantly it was close to the beach and walks for the dogs. It even had a sea view. We all had an amazing stay and would go back again. Very dog friendly.

A wonderful stay at Sea Urchins

Just returned after our first stay at sea urchins cottage. We couldn’t recommend this highly enough. It is in a great position close to the main facilities but also near the beach path and sea views. The cottage was super clean and the beds and chairs were extremely comfortable. Everything you could think of in the kitchen for cooking and eating. Lots of little touches which make all the difference. We shall certainly be back again.

Vey nice cottage in a great location

This is a lovely property, excellent condition through out and high spec of furnishings, towels, bedding, kitchen appliances etc. Very well presented and thoughtfully designed - a real home from home. Location is excellent too just a five minute walk to the beach, we really like The Bay as well as not stayed there before. Will definitely look to re book this property.

Great location with everything you need

The cottage is a great space in a brilliant location. Well stocked with everything you need. Paula is great! The only disappointment was that the fantastic balcony wasn’t clean and could benefit from updated outdoor furniture. We would also have benefited from a property that doesn’t welcome dogs

A lovely cottage by the beach

Our second stay and still a delight - though not so keen on the abundance of overly powerful synthetic air fresheners!

Beautiful

Absolutely stunning property Very clean and tidy, has everything you need and more for a cosy relaxing stay. Location on the bay is perfect. The walk in shower is an added bonus, didn't want to get out.. Will definitely book again in the summer to make most of the balcony from main bedroom

Lovely place to stay

This cottage is ideally placed only a short distance from the amenities on site and the beach walk. The cottage was very comfortable and had all you could need during a break near the seaside. We have used The Bay a number of times and this cottage was the best so far.

A great experience

Just what we needed for somewhere to stay for a local family wedding. A very clean and comfortable property with all of the equipment etc which you could want for self-catering and close to the huge beach.

Excellent location. Property immaculate.

Visited this property and location several times. Always found a very high standard of cleanliness. Excellent location for cliff and beach walks. Short drive to North Yorkshire moors and seaside attractions. Well equipped with home comforts. Easy parking, quiet peaceful location.

No complaints at all, lovely location with a fantastic view. Second time at this property, last time we were there we mentioned that the key safe was in a awkward place, reading the numbers was difficult, so it's been moved to eye level, much better

Nearly perfect

This cottage is the best one we have stopped in at the Bay , The only gripe was getting into the key safe when it was dark , it took over 20 mins to get it opened .

Sea Urchins Cottage is a lovely house set in a lovely complex

What an excellent modern, clean house with all the mod cons you would need to make any length of stay a good one. Good Wi-Fi, excellent TV. The decor throughout is lovely and the bathrooms are superb. The location is great and only a 10 minute walk to the beach. The bay is a lovely quiet place and we will be back.

Absolutely loved it !

We loved this cottage, everything we needed for a home away break was in the cottage. Location was fabulous for the beach and the local pub on site and the log fire was the perfect ambiance in the evening (fluffy socks & cosy toes). Loved the balcony in the master bedroom, open the blinds to a sea view with a nice cuppa. We will most definitely book this cottage again

Excellent break

Lovely house with all the amenities you would need. The Covid cleanliness was excellent and gave much needed reassurance in these odd time. We have stayed at The Bay before , but this property has an excellent location and being able to see the sea was lovely.

lovely place and very comfortable. Well equipped everything there to make your stay relaxing

The place was very pleasing. Just a couple of issues, but it didn't spoil the holiday. The large bedroom wardrobe was difficult to open, because it was positioned near the bed. Perhaps moving it around to somewhere else would solve the problem. Where the table and chairs are near the front door there was dust on the skirting board. Putting these issues to one side we loved the place, we would still recommend it to other people. All the comforts of home and everything you could possibly need.

About the host

Hosted by Paula Foster

Host profile image
We are Paula and Tim Foster. We live in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.

We have 3 school age children, and love visiting Filey - the children love it too and have their favourite shops, cafes, and ice-cream stalls, as do we!

We regularly visit "the Bay" - staying in our first holiday home (Sea Urchins beach house ref 8162520) which we have owned since March 2014. We've owned the Cottage since September 2016, and I (Paula) now manage both properties.

Why they chose this property

We love visiting the Bay - staying in our first holiday home (Sea Urchins beach house ref 8162520) every couple of months. On one visit, we found out they were building some homes with balconies and sea views, and we just had to have one as its always been a dream to have a view of the sea and Filey in the distance!

We were first introduced to the resort of Filey around 9 years ago and we have holidayed there nearly every year since.

The beach is excellent - clean, sandy and not too crowded. We have spent many happy days building sandcastles, paddling in the sea and playing beach cricket. The town of Filey has a variety of small shops and cafés, and glen gardens park is excellent for children. We like the fact you can walk easily from one end of Filey to the other, down to the harbour to watch the fishing boats and play in the arcades, or up into the country park to get some great views.

We have our favourite places to visit - Sewerby Hall (with a small zoo), Bempton cliffs RSPB, Flamborough, Scarborough and Whitby (including the steam railway to Pickering). All within a short drive.

We now stay at either property when we visit, and make them available to others when we are not there.

What makes this property unique

The Cottage has the benefit of both bedrooms being ensuite for extra privacy, and the second bedroom can be made up for children or adults as it has a zip and link bed. As we are a family of 5, we have a further camp bed, as we appreciate the difficulties in finding holidays when you are not a family of 4!

The master bedroom has a full width balcony with seating to take in the sea view to the front and side.

The downstairs is open plan, great for family time, and the kitchen has all the mod-cons (dishwasher, washer-dryer, microwave etc).

The Cottage is also very close (one of the closest) to the path down to the beach, making it really easy to explore the beach. It is also only a few minutes walk to the resort centre where there is a pool, pub and cafe. There are no passing cars (apart from those staying at the final few properties before the beach road) which makes it quiet in terms of road traffic, but you can sit and watch people passing on their walk to the beach.
