  Coble House is a very individual property. It has a rich and interesting history which the owner, Vicki Bradley, has provided complete with photos. You cannot fail to appreciate that Vicki is proud of the fact that this is a family home, and she has allowed some of her family's art work and craft work to remain in the house. I found it totally enchanting. You may think that with all this history the house would be "stuffy". You'd be wrong - it's anything but! It's a bright modern(mostly) large house with a lovely ambience. The brand new kitchen has all the mod cons you could possibly need and the upstairs lounge has views which are just breath taking, I spent many an hour on the balcony just watching the world go by - the good weather helped with that. In my opinion Coble House is in the perfect position in Filey - close to everything, beach, Country Park, cliff walks, 5 mins to town and 15 mins to Glen Park. I stayed here alone, but I imagine it would be fabulous for a family or group of friends. Loved it!

  We had a nice stay at the cottage, however we had some issues in that no soap, tea bags, oven trays, or milk were provided.

  On its own this would not have been an issue but when reading the reviews of other guests we saw that some had Scones, bottles of wine, chocolates etc... It just made us feel a bit dejected. We had to buy these basics which was difficult after a 3 hour drive to a remote location, and added another hour before we were able to relax. When we messaged the property owner to make them aware for future guests we were offered compensation for the things we had to buy, which we accepted, and we were told this would be posted via the letterbox during our stay. We never received this however. In future we would recommend the property owner adds to their listing that these things are not provided, or even spend the extra £2-3 to make a guests stay a little nicer. We would also recommend a more thorough clean before guests arrive, as we had to spend a bit of our first day cleaning cobwebs and clearing out the fireplace.

  Lovely quiet hamlet location only 4 miles from Sandsend beach, gorgeous little cottage, tiny bedrooms but fine for couple with 2 small children.

  Would be good if twin beds could become double bed to house second couple, or in my case a singleton used to a double bed! Great to have 2 bathrooms. Lots of safe garden to play in, and friendly donkey and horse to visit close by. Very well equipped cottage except for lack of advertised washing machine!! Essential for family with beach loving or muddy walks children.. and it is listed in the info pack but has magically become a dishwasher. . Also a "home from home" should have soap in the basins, washing up brush, scourers, kitchen scissors really...and the "wealth of books" was missing. Communication with owner impossible and inbox full, and information pack in house needs updating. However! Plenty of wood and coal for open fire, and a BBQ hiding in shed, but it would have been helpful to know what not to bring! Two calls to Sykes did not resolve. Would def book again now we know what we're doing.

  We had a most enjoyable and relaxing fortnight at Holly Cottage.

  Kate was the perfect host, unobtrusive yet readily contactable. The cottage was ample for four adults, with a great open plan kitchen / diner, and was very well equipped - a washing machine rather than a dishwasher would have been our only wish. The three secure gardens and paddock completely surrounding the house gave ample space and shade for dog and human relaxation on hot days, while the sizeable porch made for easy canine comings and goings in wet weather. West Barnby is a lovely calm setting, away from the bustle of the tourist hotspots yet within easy access of coast, moor and forest - next to no passing traffic during the day and only the moos of the cows at night. We found great walks from the door along the permissive paths of the Mulgrave Estate, which we had to ourselves, and Kettleness is only a five minute drive away for stunning walks along the cliff tops or derelict railway track.

  Holly cottage Just perfect!

  If you are looking for a cottage close enough to all the bustle and fantastic sights of the Yorkshire coast and countryside but within a short drive of this quiet hamlet that you feel immediately at home in; then Holly Cottage is for you. Such a lovely place with all the facilities required for a fabulous time away. A very comfortable lounge with cosy open fire. Enclosed garden and paddock is perfect for your dog to run free and a nice decking to enjoy your breakfast and then later a glass of wine before supper. Highly recommend Holly Cottage.
