Hawthornden Cottage in Filey is highly praised for its spaciousness, comfort, and quiet location, particularly during off-peak seasons. Guests appreciate the dog-friendly environment, secure garden, and proximity to the beach. The property is well-situated for exploring local resorts and the North York Moors & Coast. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is positive, with many guests planning to return.
Cleanliness
The property consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with numerous guests describing it as 'spotless' and 'very clean'. There is a single mention of a dirty washing machine, but this appears to be an isolated incident.
Location
The location is frequently commended for its quietness, proximity to the beach, and ease of access to local attractions. Some concerns about potential noise in the summer due to the nearby caravan site are mentioned, but overall, the location is seen as a positive feature.
Comfort
Guests find the property comfortable, with a spacious layout and a secure garden for pets. However, there are a few comments about uncomfortable sofas and soft beds, which suggests that while comfort is generally high, there is room for improvement.
Facilities
The property is well-equipped, with a log burner and modern amenities. Some guests mention a lack of cleaning essentials, a creaky bed, and a small en-suite shower. The washing machine and fridge issues are noted, indicating that while facilities are good, maintenance could be enhanced.

About this property
Filey 2.8 miles. This fabulous single-storey property, an annexe to the owner's home, is situated in a quiet spot two miles from the traditional seaside town of Filey. With just a 10 minute walk to the beach, it is in the perfect location for an enjoyable family holiday, within easy reach of the Wolds, the North York Moors and the larger resorts of Scarborough and Bridlington. With all ground floor accommodation, there is a wonderful light and spacious open plan living area, with high apex ceilings, large feature glass windows and French doors that open onto the enclosed patio garden - an ideal suntrap from which to relax and soak up the sun. With a streamlined contemporary kitchen and comfortable leather sofas set around a cosy woodburner, it caters for all weathers. Both bedrooms are tastefully furnished, the double with an en-suite shower room and the twin with the flexibility of zip/link beds, which can make a king-size double on request. With a family bathroom and little added extras, including a Smart TV, families or groups of friends won't be disappointed. An easy 10 minute walk brings you to a superb sandy Blue Flag beach that stretches for miles and enables children and four legged friends to let off steam! Stroll along to Filey centre, with its promenade, brightly painted beach huts and pretty ornamental gardens. Enjoy an ice-cream on the promenade, a pony ride along the sands, or crabbing in the rock pools on Filey Brigg. Just outside the town lies a country park with an animal sanctuary nearby, whilst for walkers, Filey marks the start of the Cleveland Way long distance trail. Nature lovers must visit the RSPB Reserve at Bempton, to see the puffins and kittiwakes nesting on the high chalk cliffs. For an action packed fun-filled day, take a trip to Flamingo Land near the market town of Pickering, or explore the stunning countryside of the surrounding moorland. For the more adventurous, why not try your hand at coasteering, kayaking, sailing and stand up paddleboarding on the Yorkshire Coast, available at local specialists Bay Watersports. A well placed cottage for a very enjoyable holiday at any time of the year.
