Our first visit to Filey and we really enjoyed it and hoping to return. Short walk from Poppywinkle to the shops, pubs and restaurants (a flat 5-10 min walk!) also a large Tesco within walking distance and small spar shop, bakery and butchers. Lots of choice of restaurants (Indian, Italian Chinese etc) takeaway and eat in fish and chip shops, and choice of pubs which offer food. Nice selection of gift and boutique shops etc. It is a fairly steep walk down to the seafront/promenade (from the town) …..fine going down but a bit of a struggle going back up! Didn’t stop us from doing it several times! We would be happy to stay at Poppywinkle again, very handy having your own parking space (for 1 small car) A great holiday!
