About this property
Filey 3.2 miles. This lovely, end-terrace property is situated on The Bay holiday village, close to the traditional seaside town of Filey. With superb on-site facilities, this cottage provides an excellent base for friends and families wishing to enjoy a family holiday. There is just a short walk to the beautiful golden beach and easy access to fabulous countryside. Downstairs in this lovely cottage there is a modern, bright open-plan living area which has a well-equipped kitchen with dining for four and comfortable seating with French doors opening onto a private patio. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, one double with a TV and one twin, together with a family bathroom, and a ground-floor cloakroom completes the accommodation. Outside there is a private patio with furniture where you can relax with a refreshing drink whilst planning your activities for the rest of your holiday. On the complex there are lots of outdoor activities to partake in, whether that's fishing, tennis, cycling or alternatively, why not take a picnic to the lake? Guests are able to book a number of activities including scuba diving, fencing and archery lessons, whilst also benefiting from free use of the indoor swimming pool, sauna and steam room, sure to be a big hit with everyone. Just a five minute walk from the cottage brings you to a café and pub, and a lovely walk through the communal grounds takes you to a safe, long sandy beach. The quaint seaside resort of Filey is only a short drive away and has fine promenades, brightly painted beach huts and pony rides along the beach. You can stroll through the ornamental gardens or down the cobble landing where the fishing vessels are moored. Why not spend an afternoon crabbing in the rock pools or take an exhilarating clifftop walk along Filey Brigg, with panoramic views along the coastline? Nearby Bempton RSPB reserve is well worth a visit, especially in the summer months to see the puffins, kittiwakes and gannets, whilst culture lovers will enjoy the surrounding stately homes such as Swerby Hall, Sledmere House and Burton Agnes Hall. Just a little further afield are the larger resorts of Scarborough and Bridlington, with some wonderful countryside to discover. This delightful property is ideal for a family holiday at any time of the year.
A traditional seaside resort with a friendly atmosphere, Filey is an ideal place for walkers and wildlife watchers all year round. The village has remained a popular choice since the Victorian era, with the magnificent Filey Bay with stretches of sand, and Filey Brigg with shallow rockpools. There are plenty of bird watching opportunities and dramatic coastline walks, alongside a variety of amenities in the village centre, home to two promenades and activities for the whole family.

The property is very welcoming, clean, well equipped, comfortable, and spacious enough for 4 people in a quiet part of the resort. It's conveniently located to use the on site facilities and you're just a short drive from Filey and Scarborough. Couldn't have been better as we had great weather all week as well

Well equipped with all the essentials( a small wok and extra frying pan would have been useful).The walk from the cottage to the beach with our small dog took longer than expected,about 15-20 mins,so we went instead to nearby Hunmanby Gap which is lovely, with good, reasonably priced parking, excellent Beach Cafe and great beach. We enjoyed our stay at Stak's Cottage and would recommend it for those looking for a relaxing break.
