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.

Short notice Christmas break

Booked on Christmas Eve and the assistance and customer service from Filey Bay Direct (Paula) was fantastic. The cottage is one we have used before and it could never disappoint. The comfort and cleanliness are exemplary and the location ideal for a short walk onto the beach path. There is everything you could wish for within and around Sea Urchins to enjoy a stay at Filey Bay.

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.

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.

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

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

Best holiday home we have stayed in at The Bay over a period of five years.

Everything was catered for and the goody bag and chocolates on arrival were very much appreciated after our journey. We were all impressed with the carpeted upstairs including the dog and my granddaughter was over the moon with the blue bathroom her favourite colour. The sea views from the verandah and the nearness to the beach enhanced our stay immensely. We enjoyed it so much we have already booked it for next year.

What a lovely cottage.

We had a great stay at Sea Urchins Cottage. There were 4 of us, 2 adults and 2 young children. The cottage was very clean, spacious, and decorated beautifully. The beds were so comfy and having an en suite on both bedrooms was great. We had everything we needed. It was a short 2 minute walk to the main area where the pub was. And the coastal path was also a short walk so the location was brilliant. I would recommend this cottage if you were looking to stay at the bay. It’s also pet friendly but sadly our dog passed away before our holiday.

A home away from home

Another excellent stay at Sea Urchins cottage. Its an absolutely gem of a house with all the little touches that really make it feel like home. It has two generous bedrooms both with their own bath/shower room with the primary bedroom having a balcony that overlooks the sea. This was our dog's favourite place to sit and watch everyone go by! It has a really well appointed kitchen with everything you could ever need (including dishwasher and coffee machine) as well as lovely lounge area with wood burning stove (though it is fully centrally heated) for those colder nights. Situated on The Bay holiday village right on the path down to the beach - you can be on the beautiful sandy Hunmanby end of the beach in 10 minutes from the back door. It's quite a steep path on the way back from the beach but knowing you have this cottage to get back to makes it worth it! The Bay has lots of facilities such as pub, pool, tennis court etc and has a really nice atmosphere as it is full of people who are on their holidays. In general the condition of the property really is excellent but I did notice on this stay that its starting to show signs of wear and tear here and there - really only minor things though and with the amount of people that have stayed here its no real surprise. We will definitely be back soon.

A wonderful holiday.

This was our 4th visit to the Bay and this cottage was the best house we have stayed in. The location is fantastic being close to the beach and the resort centre. There is limited traffic so it is ideal for children’s safety. The cottage was spotless on arrival and was very well equipped. We had a sealed bulb go in the downstairs toilet and Paula sent someone out to sort it straight away. All in all a great cottage and a great holiday, despite some dodgy weather. Our 4 year old granddaughter loved the cottage so much she asked if we could stay. She did 3 activities whilst here, slime making, build a bear and tie dying a T-shirt and she loved them all and Jordan who took the sessions. Thank you for a great holiday. Mark, Tanya and Heidi-Rose.

A home away from home in a fabulous location

Really lovely home in a great location. Sea Urchins cottage has all the amenities you could need for a great stay. It was nice and clean and well looked after and the little touches of books, puzzles, charging cables and super duper wi-fi made it perfect. Its a great size for 2 adults though there is a second bedroom that can fit two single beds too, so space for children or a third adult too. Both bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and there is a downstairs toilet too. The balcony overlooking the sea was extra special too - that was our dog, Bailey's favourite spot! Sea Urchins cottage is also close to the pub, shop, pharmacy and leisure facilities on The Bay so everything is just a short walk away. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back. The Bay Filey is a fabulous spot for a relaxing stay. Follow the beach path right down to the sands and turn right for a walk towards Hunmanby (great beach cafe at Hunmanby gap!) or left to walk to Filey. The walk to Filey takes around 45 minutes though you can make it longer if you want to - just join the Caledonian way, a way-marked route that goes all the way along the coast, and you can walk to Scarborough and beyond.

Lovely detached cottage

Quiet location, very close to the beach path. Very clean, well equipped. Beautiful en-suite bathroom and shower room. Comfortable mattress and great sea views from the main bedroom. Fourth time we have been to The Bay, this was the best cottage we have stayed in. Great customer service from the moment we arrived. Thank you for a much needed holiday after a very close family bereavement.

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.

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
