Guests say
The Garden Apartment in Filey is highly praised for its spaciousness, stylish decor, and prime location close to the beach and town centre. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable furnishings, and the cleanliness of the property. While some minor maintenance issues and a lack of welcome gifts are noted, the overall experience is very positive, with many guests planning to return.
Most guests found the apartment to be spotlessly clean, with only a few isolated comments about specific areas needing more attention. The high level of cleanliness contributed positively to the guests' experiences.
The location is consistently lauded for its convenience, being within walking distance to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The easy parking and proximity to local attractions make it an ideal spot for visitors.
Guests frequently mention the comfort of the apartment, noting the quality of the furnishings and bedding. The spaciousness and homely feel contribute to a comfortable stay, although a few guests mentioned issues with pillows and scratchy linen.
The apartment is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and guests are generally pleased with the amenities. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as the need for updated information, attention to the outdoor area, and minor repairs, which slightly lower the score.
There is insufficient information to score thoughtfulness accurately. While some guests noted the absence of a welcome pack, it is not clear if this is a standard offering or an occasional oversight. Therefore, a score cannot be provided, and guests should not expect welcome gifts as standard.
About this property
Set in a desirable location right on the seafront in the seaside town of Filey is this beautiful and grand dwelling, The Garden Apartment. Opposite the pretty Crescent Gardens just a few minutes away from the centre of Filey, this apartment would be perfect for a couple retreat to the coast, or a small family holiday to the beach. Once you have stepped down from street level to the property entrance, make your way into this delightful property, entering the kitchen/diner first where you'll find a beautifully presented fitted kitchen, complete with all the appliances you will need for your self-catered adventure, including a dishwasher and a washing machine. Enjoy your morning coffee at the dining table and talk over what the day ahead will bring and where to go next, before preparing a picnic lunch to eat later. For a rainy afternoon when staying in to watch a film seems like a better option, relax in the sitting room on either the large leather sofa, or take up space in one of the armchairs, and get the gas fire going for some extra warmth. When it's time to head to bed, there are two bedrooms to choose from; a king-size with an en-suite shower room, and a twin room, decorated to an excellent degree with matching bed-spreads and a cream and gold hued theme running throughout, you will look forward to winding down in these splendid rooms. Along with the en-suite, there is another bathroom which features a bath. Back outside the property there is a raised patio furnished with a table and chairs, so you can enjoy some sun on your doorstep and maybe a bit of alfresco dining too. There are seven miles of stunning beach practically on your doorstep, so take advantage of this and get out on a beach walk, stopping for a paddle in the sea or a spot of sunbathing. If you manage to walk all the way down the beach you can visit the RSPB Bempton Cliffs Seabird Centre, where there are excellent viewpoints and nature trails for spotting seabirds, including Puffins from April to July. Filey itself is home to a whole host of wonderful eateries and restaurants and the all important fish 'n' chip shops! The Garden Apartment is a delightful property that will take you back in time with its classic style and architecture.
Filey is a small town and civil parish found on the coast of North Yorkshire, set between Scarborough and Bridlington, all popular seaside towns. Filey was originally mainly a fishing town, going on for a multitude of centuries until it became a resort like the neighbouring towns for the Victorians. It is home to many shops, restaurants and pubs for all the essentials you would need on your holiday.

It was our first visit and we would definitely go back. Easy parking just outside also. Lovely gardens straight across the road with a sea view. Very close to shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs too.

Very clean and everything supplied that was needed. We had a couple of issues but Julie was very quick and happy to help and resolved the problems. The TV is just freeview through a dish, so the fact that it is a basement and council are picky about where the dishes are located maybe tv through internet would be better and allow more choices. But the overall experience is EXCELLENT
