We had a very welwor5h family stay and the on site parking was a great bonus and also parking in front of house . We only would suggest to supplay a antislip shower mats for safety reason in the shower. But a great stay very clean all the way around the house so credit to the cleaning company

The house, fittings and furnishings are excellent, but badly let down by the cleaning company hired to clean the property. The owner would be better giving the money away! There was ? scrambled egg on top of the oven and as previous guests mentioned pots and utensils were put away dirty. The centre of Filey and the beach are both nearby. We were told there is on street parking but everyone coming to Filey parks there, many leaving their car for the duration of their break away.
