New Years Break
Firstly we love the Bay and will definitely be back this year.
It’s the first time we’ve stayed in what we would refer to as a Shally/Cabin and the weather was pretty poor so in giving 4 for Cleanliness and Condition did not affect our break at all and if it was possible to give 4+ then I would have done.

Lovely as always
Lovely stay at The Bay as always. We go every year in January for our dog’s birthday. The Blue Anchor was clean, comfortable and well equipped. A short walk to the shop, pub and beach. I enjoyed the beach themed decor! Beds were very comfortable, hot showers, everything worked. The timber slats used on the driveways are so slippery when wet but that’s an issue across most of those properties, so just be careful - especially in the dark! Overall we would look to stay again next year. Thank you :-)

Last minute getaway
Excellent service and quality accommodation on a holiday complex we have stayed at many times before. We even arranged to extend our stay whilst at the Blue Anchor very efficiently at a good price. We will book again with Filey Bay Direct and would highly recommend them.

Wonderful stay!
We had a fantastic stay, the lodge was perfect and had everything we needed, the location was great to walk to the pub and the beach. The facilities at the bay are really good, we had a great time and will definately return. The host was really good, sent lots of information upfront and offered an early check in of we arrived early. The key safe option was great as we could go directly to the property and get sorted. Everyone on the site was very friendly especially with the dogs.

Quality stay
It’s the second time staying on Filey Bay and we loved it just as much as the first time. We hired 4 units for a family break and Paula sorted it all out for me without a hitch. We even got a discount for being a returning customer. The accommodation had everything we needed and more. Even down to buckets and spades for the beach and camp chairs. The whole site is beautifully kept and its minutes walk to get to the beach. I can not think of a single thing to complain about, the whole break was spot on. I would definitely recommend and I can’t wait to return.

Our stay in Blue Anchor, The Bay Filey
We had a lovely few days in The Blue Anchor.
The location is very good within a few minutes walk of the shop, the pub and the path to the beach. The house is a good size comfortable and well furnished and has its own parking spot.
My only criticism is that the outside sleepers were very worn especially going into the side door.
Otherwise a lovely property.

Lovely accommodation
Paula was so helpful. The accommodation was spotlessly clean lovely and warm. Beds so comfortable. Plenty of crockery one small niggle there wasn't a bottle opener but that didn't stop us having a great weekend away with lovely friends. The beach is a lovely short walk away from the blue anchor which our rescue dog enjoyed. Thank you for our stay.

Clean and tidy with all equipment you need
Excellent property. Very clean and well laid out. There was all the equipment you needed for a chilled out break. The leisure facilities and swimming pool were excellent. My only gripe would be sort the Wi-Fi out it was very slow when it actually managed too work, most of thwe time I had too tether off of my mobile phone,if you are going to provide an all singing all dancing TV with Netflix etc make sure the Wi-Fi is good enough to support this.

Lovely family break
I stayed for a weekend break with my husband and two teenage children. The accommodation was ideal for a weekend, it was lovely, clean and well equipped. It’s decorated in a nautical style which adds to the holiday feel.
There was enough outdoor space to enjoy the sunshine and socialise. The only negative was the bushes need to be cut back when parking as they scuffed the car and the wooden parking area is a bit precarious as it’s uneven and slippy when wet.
The site was great, we didn’t use the facilities as we were out most of the time but there was a lovely village vibe of an evening.
Overall we had a great stay, we followed the sunshine and booked last minute and were glad we did. We would recommend The Blue Anchor, maybe for a short break if you have teenagers, but for longer with little ones.

Overall nice accommodation but
Nice accommodation but lacks a few comforts. We were lucky enough to have good weather and were not able to sit in comfort outside. There was a picnic table but for us oldies it was not ideal seating. Also the sofa was a little uncomfortable. I’ve since been told it’s a new sofa so perhaps it’s down to my old bones. I did feel that the property was not cleaned thoroughly. Doors and under the sofa had weeks of dust. Overall a nice spacious base close to the beach and nice that its dog friendly. Good customer service. I was kept up to date with everything regarding the holiday.
