Set on one of the most naturally beautiful stretches of the Yorkshire coast, you will find The Bay in Filey. This is a really prestigious and family friendly site, as you have direct access to a safe sandy beach, which has blue flag status, from where you can enjoy miles of unspoilt coastline.
The Bay stands among peaceful parkland, woodland and meadows, but is also an ideal base to visit local areas of interest. You are only one hour drive from the cities of York, Leeds and Hull and within easy reach of the stunning Yorkshire Wolds and Moors. Helmsley, on the edge of the North York Moors, makes a lovely day out inland. In all you will find The Bay is ideal for a relaxing break and one which the whole family will enjoy. There are more ideas in our Yorkshire family holidays guide.
The Bay offers a whole host of activities including a large indoor heated swimming pool; and for those who enjoy sports, there is tennis, archery, fencing, bike hire and a fully equipped gym. Indeed the challenge will be how to fit everything in during in your stay. Up the coast, Whitby is well worth a trip for fish and chips.
Accommodation on offer at The Bay includes modern two storey cottages that can sleep up to 8. They are decorated and finished to a high standard with spacious living areas and fully equipped kitchens, complete with comfortable bedrooms on the upper floor. A good choice and sleeping up to 4 is the Brigg – a traditional styled cottage with an open plan living area, plus a large feature fire place with log burning stove, ideal for cosy nights in. There are also french doors leading onto a large patio area which is perfect for socialising, or perhaps enjoy some alfresco dinning if you catch some warm summer nights. Prefer a lodge?

This is an amazing theme park and has the added bonus of a fabulous zoo as well. You will find a good choice of of restaurants, bars and cafes, as well as picnic areas, so you can enjoy the full day and also take time out to relax.
