We had such a fantastic stay in Filey, staying at the Starfish Shack at The Bay. Everything was as expected from the pictures and description. The apartment is beautiful, so well decorated, has everything you need, and has a real home from home feel. The beds (sofa bed and kingsize bed) were comfy and enough for the 4 of us. Plenty of bedding, pillows and clean towels. We stayed with two children aged 11 and 7. The hob and cooker were both great, and there was everything in the kitchen to be able to cook as you would at home. It's worth noting that the TV is not a smart TV as listed (just incase anyone was expecting Netflix etc), but this was not a problem at all. Their were lots of DVDs to watch, and the TV's both had all the usual freeview channels. The shower was good, and the shack also provided a hairdryer which was great! We made use of the washer/dryer, and dishwasher which were all really easy and handy. The wifi was great and reliable. The shower was fab. Everything was just spot on; it really was faultless! Check in/out was super simple. We did speak to our host whilst here, and she was lovely! A lovely 3 mile walk to Filey Briggs from The Bay, an hour to Whitby, short drive to Scarborough, Flamborough (lots of seals there at the moment), Bridlington. We didn't use the pub on site, but did use the shop and found it quite expensive. We used the tennis court once which was easy to book, aswell as swimming too.

Ideal location, short walk to the beach where you can walk to Filey, short drive to Bridlington and Scarborough. There is also the use of the leisure facilities with swimming pool, gym etc - ideal if it's raining. Couldn't ask for anything more.
