About this property
Ruby's Retreat is a spacious townhouse set in Filey, North Yorkshire. Offering well-appointed accommodation across three floors, ideal for families and groups of friends looking to enjoy the coast and surrounding countryside. Pull into the off-road parking and take a moment to appreciate the handsome exterior before stepping inside and into the hallway, where the sense of space begins to unfold. From here, you can move into both the snug and the sitting room, linked by a striking double-sided woodburning stove that gently radiates warmth between the two areas. One side invites you to settle in with a film or conversation, while the other provides a quieter corner to pause with a book as the fire flickers softly between the spaces.
Continue through to the kitchen and dining area, where a thoughtfully designed layout reveals a bright and spacious hub, finished to a high standard, where you can move with ease from preparing meals to gathering around the table. The flow carries naturally through to the utility room, a practical addition that keeps everything running smoothly during your stay, before leading onwards to a ground-floor shower room. Doors near the utility draw in fresh air, offering an easy transition between inside and out after days spent by the coast. Heading up the carpeted stairs to the first floor, you will find a selection of well-presented bedrooms.
A double bedroom offers a calm retreat, while another double sits nearby, each providing a restful space at the end of the day. The shower room on this floor stands out with its blue hues and patterned tiles, bringing a touch of character as you begin or end your day. The master bedroom is generously sized and features its own bath and basin, allowing you to unwind with a long soak in your own private space. Climb further to the second floor, where the accommodation continues to unfold. A single room offers a quiet nook, accompanied by a conveniently placed shower room, ideal for guests staying on this level.
Continue upwards once more to discover the remaining bedrooms tucked into the upper reaches of the home, where a double with Velux windows invites natural light to pour in, alongside another double and the final single room, each neatly arranged to provide flexibility for a larger group. The layout across the upper floors creates a sense of privacy, allowing guests to spread out while still coming together in the sociable living spaces below. To the rear, the garden provides a pleasant outdoor spot, where seating encourages you to take a quiet moment with a drink or gather together after a day out exploring.
A short stroll brings you to a nearby shop and pub, while the beach sits within easy walking distance, making it simple to spend time along the shoreline whenever the mood takes you. In Scarborough, you can step back in time as you wander the dramatic ruins of Scarborough Castle, take to the water for a peaceful boat ride across Peasholm Park, and enjoy the traditional seaside atmosphere along South Bay, where the sound of the waves and scent of the sea fill the air. Bridlington offers its own coastal charm, where you can explore the elegant grounds of Sewerby Hall and Gardens, watch the activity unfold around the harbour, and uncover local history within the walls of the Bayle Museum.
Venture into the North York Moors National Park to experience sweeping landscapes, with scenic walking routes that guide you through open moorland, traditional villages where time seems to slow, and far-reaching views that shift with the light throughout the day. Ruby's Retreat in Filey brings together generous living spaces, considered design, and a setting that makes exploring North Yorkshire both simple and rewarding.
Set in the magnificent Filey Bay, Filey is a traditional English seaside resort with a friendly atmosphere, offering a restful holiday, making it an ideal place to stay for walkers and wildlife watchers at any time of the year. Filey Brigg is a low headland that protects Filey Bay and provides good bird watching and seawatching opportunities all year round. The 400 ft high Bempton Cliffs (rspb Reserve) to the south of Filey Bay are home to over 250,000 seabirds in the summer. The town itself seems almost caught in a time warp, retaining much of its character with individual shops, narrow paths and ginnels and there is a slipway where local fishermen keep their boats, plus delightful beach chalets that can be hired through the summer months. The bay is edged with two promenades and there are various gardens, where brass bands play on a Sunday afternoon. This small town is family orientated and there are loads of family activities such as Alpamare UK waterpark, Filey Bird Garden and Animal Park and the Filey Dams Nature Reserve, a wetland reserve where all kinds of common and rare birdlife can be seen. A short drive brings you to the busier town of Scarborough where you will find great beaches, a castle, the Rotunda Museum and the acclaimed Sea Life Centre. Other towns worth visiting close to Filey include Bridlington, Whitby, Hornsea and Saltburn, which all demonstrate the vibrancy of this picturesque North Yorkshire region.
