We particularly appreciated the provision for children's books and toys which our granddaughter loved. Great location but the parking can be an issue at times especially over the Bank Holiday weekend as we had 2 cars (not unusual for property sleeping 6) and quite understandably residents want to park outside their properties so put up signs or ask people to move. We ended up parking one car several streets away. However we really liked Filey as a destination and would definitely visit this area again.
