The property

Filey 2.8 miles.

This fabulous single-storey property, an annexe to the owner's home, is situated in a quiet spot two miles from the traditional seaside town of Filey.

With just a 10 minute walk to the beach, it is in the perfect location for an enjoyable family holiday, within easy reach of the Wolds, the North York Moors and the larger resorts of Scarborough and Bridlington.

With all ground floor accommodation, there is a wonderful light and spacious open plan living area, with high apex ceilings, large feature glass windows and French doors that open onto the enclosed patio garden - an ideal suntrap from which to relax and soak up the sun.

With a streamlined contemporary kitchen and comfortable leather sofas set around a cosy woodburner, it caters for all weathers.

Both bedrooms are tastefully furnished, the double with an en-suite shower room and the twin with the flexibility of zip/link beds, which can make a king-size double on request.

With a family bathroom and little added extras, including a Smart TV, families or groups of friends won't be disappointed.

An easy 10 minute walk brings you to a superb sandy Blue Flag beach that stretches for miles and enables children and four legged friends to let off steam!

Stroll along to Filey centre, with its promenade, brightly painted beach huts and pretty ornamental gardens.

Enjoy an ice-cream on the promenade, a pony ride along the sands, or crabbing in the rock pools on Filey Brigg.

Just outside the town lies a country park with an animal sanctuary nearby, whilst for walkers, Filey marks the start of the Cleveland Way long distance trail.

Nature lovers must visit the RSPB Reserve at Bempton, to see the puffins and kittiwakes nesting on the high chalk cliffs.

For an action packed fun-filled day, take a trip to Flamingo Land near the market town of Pickering, or explore the stunning countryside of the surrounding moorland.

For the more adventurous, why not try your hand at coasteering, kayaking, sailing and stand up paddleboarding on the Yorkshire Coast, available at local specialists Bay Watersports.

A well placed cottage for a very enjoyable holiday at any time of the year.

About the location

FILEY

Scarborough 7.7 miles; Bridlington 10.5 miles.

Filey is a traditional English seaside resort with a friendly atmosphere, offering a restful holiday, making an ideal place to stay for walkers and wildlife watchers at any time of the year. A real gem on the Yorkshire coast. A fishing town on the North East Coast, Filey has enjoyed a reputation of being a resort since Victorian times, set beside the magnificent Filey Bay, a long stretch of beautiful sand, with Filey Brigg and its shallow rockpools to the north. 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. Gannets, kittiwakes, puffins, guillimots and razorbills all nest there. Gannets are regularly seen diving for fish in Filey Bay. The Brigg area is an ideal place to watch for common and rarer waders, seabirds and migrating warblers,finches and thrushes. As well as seabirds, seals and other marine life, such as porpoises dolphins and minke whales can be seen in the sea around the Brigg. The town itself seems almost caught in a time warp, retaining 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 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, crazy golf and candy floss. Also in Filey there is the Filey Dams Nature Reserve, a wetland reserve where common and rare waders and wildfowl can be seen as well as autumn gatherings of swallows, sand martins and house martins. Also there is Parish Wood (just off Sycamore Avenue) an unexpected gem that offers a wealth of wildlife. Willow warbler, chiffchaff, blackcap and tree sparrows breed there and a wide variety of other species are regularly seen such as great spotted woodpeckers and sparrow hawks. Parish Wood also provides shelter and food for a wide range of migrant bird species such as goldcrests, pied and spotted flycatchers, warblers, finches, thrushes and woodcocks. A short drive brings you to the busier town of Scarborough where for family fun you can visit the Alpamare Waterpark, a waterpark unlike anything the UK has ever seen before, as well as plenty to explore and discover in this lovely area.
