About this property

Filey 3 miles. This modern end-terrace property is situated on The Bay holiday village, 3 miles from the traditional seaside town of Filey. Ideal for families and groups of friends, this accommodation has a great seaside location with superb on-site facilities for all to enjoy. The cottage has a well-equipped kitchen and a sitting room with a dining area; perfect for those home cooked meals. The cottage is well-equipped with WiFi throughout. There are two cosy bedrooms with a family bathroom as well as the convenience of a downstairs cloakroom. From the sitting room are French doors leading onto a private patio with furniture, an ideal place to sit and relax after a full day out and about.

On the complex is a leisure centre with a large indoor heated swimming pool, children's pool, sauna, steam room and a gym, which guests have unlimited access to. Outdoor pursuits include tennis courts, a fishing lake, bike hire, a putting green and archery, which can include a charge. A pleasant short walk from this Filey holiday cottage brings you to a lovely, sandy, Blue Flag beach which is perfect for families, whilst the delightful resort of Filey offers fine promenades, lovely parks and interesting shops. The surrounding area has so much to offer, with the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Wolds and stately homes such as Burton Agnes Hall and Sledmere House to visit. The larger resorts of Scarborough and Bridlington are not too far away and make a great day out. With something for everyone, 100 Sunrise Drive makes a great base for a great holiday at any time of the year.

Filey is a traditional seaside resort with a friendly atmosphere. A fishing town on the North East Coast, Filey has enjoyed a reputation of being a resort set beside the magnificent Filey Bay, a long stretch of beautiful sand, with Filey Brigg and its shallow rockpools to the north. The town retains much of its character with individual shops, narrow paths and ginnels. There is a small coble landing, a slipway where local fishermen keep their boats, plus delightful beach chalets that can be hired through the summer months.

    The beach is in easy access and it was only short drives to Filey, Scarborough and Bridlington. We had a lovely time and would stay again.

  • Susie

    We had everything we needed. It was a comfortable place to be at the end of a day exploring the beaches. The only thing which didn't come up to expectations was the TV reception. BBC news was ok, but most of the others were terrible.

  • Marie

    This cottage was nice, good location, nice homely touches and comfortable. Yes it does have a bit of wear and tear but that is to be expected and nothing that bad (although the mould around the bath does need attending to). It is unfortunately let down by three things though: one it was very dirty! The owner needs to get a new cleaner. We arrived at 2.30 at the same time as we saw the cleaner go in, the cleaner then left 15 mins later! Not enough time to do a proper clean and it showed! Bathroom was filthy; hair, dirt on bath and sink, I had to clean it. Thick dust everywhere on tvs, etc. Floors still had bits everywhere so wasn’t hoovered properly. I think only the kitchen surfaces had been cleaned (other areas in kitchen were dirty) and the beds made. Second, Wi-Fi is terrible, very intermittent, tried to reset the router several times made no difference, wouldn’t work on my phone at all, couldn’t stream Netflix or BBC iPlayer on tv (plus tv signal wasn’t great); lastly, it needs better outside seating as the bench is very uncomfortable. We had a lovely stay though, weather was great, walks on the beach were fab!
