Yorkshire Coast Cottages with sea views above
a sandy beach now with free WiFi
Filey self catering holiday accommodation in cosy
beach cottages on Filey seafront. Each Filey self
catering cottage is in a prime beachfront
position with magnificent sea views over Filey Bay
and the award winning Yorkshire coast beach . The
sea views from the cottages extend along the
Yorkshire coast from Flamborough Head to Filey
Brigg . There are three self catering cottages.
Each beachfront holiday home has a living room at
the front of the cottage enjoying these good sea
views. In effect each cottage is on Filey beach
and the address of the cottages is 24 The Beach,
Filey. We have recently installed free WiFi
internet access to all cottages.
Two cottages are 3 bedroomed and sleep 6. One
cottage is 2 bedroomed sleeping 4. These
coastal cottages have been in the Watkinson family
for over 100 years. In 2005 the holiday
accommodation was managed for the first time by
the two brothers John and Peter Watkinson with
their wives Cath and Sue. We take pride in
providing clean comfortable self catering
accommodation and are currently upgrading many
aspects of the accommodation for our guests. Our
aim is to continue to invest in our Yorkshire
coast holiday cottages to make this self catering
accommodation amongst the best in Filey and on the
North Yorkshire coast. Each cottage has everything
you need for the perfect summer holiday or that
essential winter break. The sea views are
magnificent and the sandy beach so close.
The cottages are in the centre of Filey seafront
on the corner where Cargate Hill meets The Beach.
The white painted cottages can be clearly seen to
the right of centre in this picture of Filey sea
front. You really are by the seaside with
fantastic sea views
There is easy access up into the main shopping
area and down the Bridge Hole to Filey's award
winning beach. With the shops close by self
catering is easy. Sitting in the garden at the
front of the cottages looking out over Filey Bay,
drinking your morning coffee and taking in the sea
views is definitely one of the holiday's most
delightful pastimes.
What to do in Filey.
There is plenty to do on your doorstep. Walking
and playing on the sandy beach or swimming in the
sea, ideal for the traditional family beach
holiday. Filey Coble Landing, where the Filey
fishing fleet and lifeboat are kept and launched,
is a few hundred yards away. A short walk along
the beach takes you to the rockpools of Filey
Brigg which is also famous for its angling. Filey
is a mecca for bird watchers and has its own
reserve "Filey Dams" as well as the nearby world
famous RSPB reserve on the 400 foot Bempton cliffs
with fantastic sea views. Filey Brigg also has its
fair share of rare birds. Filey and the
surrounding area boast many beautiful walks, on
the Yorkshire coast, North Yorkshire Moors and the
East Yorkshire Wolds. Filey Brigg is where the
Cleveland Way ends and the Wolds Way begins.
Filey has been a seaside resort since Edwardian
times and a fishing village for much longer. It is
smaller and more refined than Bridlington and
Scarborough and there is much less noisy
development on the sea front. There is also
Filey bird garden and animal park on the outskirts
of Filey and Playdale Farm in nearby Cayton
village
Interesting attractions in near by Scarborough.
The Harbour , Castle and Seafront. With
magnificent sea views and lots of attractions.
Sealife centre Lots of different fish but
nowhere near as good as the deep in Hull.
The Stephen Joseph Theatre in the round in
Scarborough. Alan Ayckbourn is the artistic
director and many of his plays are put on here. It
was the old Odeon cinema and has had millions
invested to make it a remarkable venue. See some
brilliant plays.
Interesting North Yorkshire attractions.
Walks on the North Yorkshire Moors.
Eden Camp, an interesting second world war
museum. near Malton and Flamingoland. Well
worth a visit while on Holiday.
The North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
Timetables and much more for this working steam
railway which threads its way through the
beautiful North Yorkshire Moors walking country.
Very popular while you are on holiday.
The National railway Museum,York. All the
trains and history you could possibly imagine. A
wonderful museum and best of all it is free.
Several popular York Museums. Including the
Castle Museum with its famous recreated cobbled
street
Interesting attractions in and around
Bridlington.
Sewerby Park Attractive gardens
overlooking the bay with sea views (also a
childrens zoo and pitch and putt) with a stately
house containing a small museum. Various events
through the year attract large audiences.
Bridlington Spa A very large old theatre
type venue that holds all sorts of concerts, shows
and events. The Spa has now had a major
refurbishment and is the largest venue in the
area.
Flamborough Head A protected coastline with
spectacular white cliffs, arches and stacks as
well as massive seabird colonies. Places to visit:
Bempton cliffs, Thornwick Bay, North Landing, The
light house and Silex Bay, South Landing, Danes
Dyke, Sewerby and on to Bridlington. There is a
coastal footpath all the way round.
Yorkshire Belle sails from Bridlington Harbour
It goes on various cruises and sometimes goes to
the magnificent Bempton Cliffs which tower
vertically over 300ft above the sea. See this
important sea bird colony from a very different
perspective. Well worth it if the sea is calm.
Interesting attractions in and around Whitby.
Whitby itself The setting is fantastic. Walk
out along both East and West piers and along the
narrow winding streets. Walk along the beach if the
tide is out to Sandsend. Try taking some pictures.
Can you beat Frank Meadow Sutcliffe's photos.
Go to the gallery and have a look.
Whitby museum Not a large museum but well
worth a visit with loads of information on
local fossils.
Whitby Abbey A ruin but in a magnificent
position on the cliff tops and next door to a church
where Dracula supposedly sheltered after he jumped
ashore from a sinking ship . Great sea views. To get
there you can walk through the old narrow streets
from the town centre.
Lifeboat musem A very small museum on the
harbour side but free and you can read all about the
local rescues, view some amazing photos and leave a
donation for the RNLI. The centrepiece is the old
Whitby rowing lifeboat. Nearbye you can take a trip
on an old motor lifeboat.
Robin Hoods Bay. This used to be a fishing
village and is perched on the edge of the cliff. The
rock pools are some of the best in the country at
low water and there are some lovely walks to
Ravenscar a few miles away. Walk along the cliff top
(or beach if the tide is out) and back along
the old railway track that goes through the old alum
quarry .
Interesting attractions in Hull.
The Deep. This houses one of the worlds
largest aquarium tanks in a stunning building on the
banks of the Humber Estuary close to the centre of
Hull and all the local museums. It attracts visitors
from all over Europe. It really is worth visiting if
you have not been and why not visit some of Hull's
other museums, especially the maritime museum.
Hull Museums. Several really good museums and
I think all free with the unique chance to be taken
on a guided tour around the Arctic Corsair one of
the last of Hull's side-winder trawlers (not open
every day so check and you may need to book). If you
visit the Maritime museum look out for a photo of
our great grandfather peering out of the wheelhouse
of his fishing boat.
Other interesting attractions
Hornsea Freeport. Shopping by the sea.
Hornsea is a small seaside town with a good discount
shopping centre. Top brands at low prices. Visit Mr
Moos home made ice cream cafe/shop (just after
Skipsea village on the way to Hornsea). Hornsea also
has a seafront and a Mere (the largest natural lake
in Yorkshire).
