We love visiting the Bay - staying in our first holiday home (Sea Urchins beach house ref 8162520) every couple of months. On one visit, we found out they were building some homes with balconies and sea views, and we just had to have one as its always been a dream to have a view of the sea and Filey in the distance!
We were first introduced to the resort of Filey around 9 years ago and we have holidayed there nearly every year since.
The beach is excellent - clean, sandy and not too crowded. We have spent many happy days building sandcastles, paddling in the sea and playing beach cricket. The town of Filey has a variety of small shops and cafés, and glen gardens park is excellent for children. We like the fact you can walk easily from one end of Filey to the other, down to the harbour to watch the fishing boats and play in the arcades, or up into the country park to get some great views.
We have our favourite places to visit - Sewerby Hall (with a small zoo), Bempton cliffs RSPB, Flamborough, Scarborough and Whitby (including the steam railway to Pickering). All within a short drive.
We now stay at either property when we visit, and make them available to others when we are not there.
