We provide self catering holiday accommodation in cosy beach cottages on Filey seafront. Each Filey self catering cottage is in a prime position overlooking the sea in Filey Bay and the award winning beach which nestle between Flamborough Head and Filey Brigg on the Yorkshire coast, the dry East Coast of England. There are two self catering cottages and each holiday home has a living room at the front of the house looking over the sea and the beach. In effect each cottage is on the beach and the address of the cottages is 24 The Beach, Filey.

Both cottages are 3 bedroomed and sleep 6. 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 the holiday cottages to make this self catering accommodation amongst the most luxurious 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 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.

This gives 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 panorama 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 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 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. 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.
