About this property
Resting in the heart of the charming coastal town of Filey in North Yorkshire is Yorkshire House. This wonderful, dog-friendly holiday home benefits from a fantastic location just a stone’s throw away from the beach on North Yorkshire’s picturesque coast as well as an inviting interior completed by four well-appointed bedrooms and a rear garden with barbecue; the perfect choice for families or friends looking for a coastal getaway. After a day spent by the beach, kick off your sandy shoes and cross the threshold to find a sitting room, here you can unwind on the plush sofas in front of the Smart TV while the designated chef of the groups gets acquainted with the fully-equipped kitchen. Tuck into their culinary delights in the dining room or on a sunny evening step outside to fire up the barbecue for an alfresco affair as the sun begins to set over Filey. When the evening draws to a close, travel inside to wash off the day’s adventures in either the bathroom or second-floor shower room ahead of catching your rest in one of four bedrooms; there is a super king-size, a second-floor king-size, a twin and a family room with two sets of bunk beds. In the morning take a short walk to the local shops where you can stock up on all of self-catering essentials or head down to the golden shores of Filey Beach, bask in the sun as the kids splash around the rock pools or simply enjoy leisurely strolls with the dogs in the sea air. The town is also home to an array of eateries, perfect for when you fancy a break from the kitchen, these include The Star, The Dark Witch Music Bar and Grill and Charlottes of Filey. Test out your swing at Filey Golf Club, tour the Nature Reserve or follow the coast up to Scarborough where you can tour its breath-taking, ruined castle or embark on an open water adventure on speedboats, fishing trips or marine safari with the chance to spot seals! All this and more awaits at Yorkshire House.
Filey is a classic English seaside town with a welcoming vibe, perfect for a relaxing holiday for hikers and wildlife watchers any time of year. A rare beauty on the coast of Yorkshire. Set beside the lovely Filey Bay, a long stretch of gorgeous beach, and Filey Brigg and its shallow rockpools to the north, this North East Coast fishing town has earned a reputation as a resort since Victorian times. You can see birds and marine life all year long from the comfort of Filey Brigg, a low headland that guards Filey Bay. Some 250,000 seabirds spend the summer on the 400-foot-high Bempton Cliffs (rspb Reserve) to the south of Filey Bay. Several species of seabirds, including gannets, kittiwakes, puffins, guillimots, and razorbills, make their nests there. Divers have spotted gannets swimming in Filey Bay, where they likely hunt for fish. Common and uncommon waders, seabirds, and migratory warblers, finches, and thrushes can all be seen in the Brigg area. Seabirds, seals, porpoises, dolphins, and even minke whales have all been spotted in the waters near the Brigg. It's almost as if time has stood still in this town, which still has its unique stores, winding alleys, and ginnels. Charming beach huts are available for rent in the summer, and there is also a tiny coble dock and slipway where local fisherman keep their boats. Two promenades line the bay's shore, and numerous gardens host brass bands on Sundays. This community is great for families, as it features both crazy golf and sweets floss. The Filey Dams Natural Reserve is a wetland area where a variety of birds, including common and unusual waders and wildfowl, as well as fall gatherings of swallows, sand martins, and house martins, can be observed. Additionally, not far away from Sycamore Avenue is the hidden gem of Parish Wood, which is home to a diverse array of species. Many species, including the willow warbler, chiffchaff, blackcap, and tree sparrow, make it their home, while a plethora of others, including great spotted woodpeckers and sparrow hawks, are frequently sighted in the area. Many migratory bird species use Parish Wood for both shelter and food. They include goldcrests, pied and spotted flycatchers, warblers, finches, thrushes, and woodcocks. Scarborough, a larger town not far away, is home to the UK's first and only waterpark of its kind, the Alpamare Waterpark, and a plethora of other attractions.
