  • "We loved our week at Arbour Retreat, felt right at home on entering this warm & cosy cottage."

    Our dog also settled in very quickly. Thank you for the welcome pack - coffee, tea, milk, chocolates & dog biscuit treats, washing up & bathroom goods - much appreciated. Plenty of room for us & her (she sleeps in a crate). Very comfy double bed, pillows a bit soft for me (my personal choice, so i always bring my own) Plenty crockery & cutlery. I loved having suitable cutlery for my use - as well as 'normal' cutlery there was also lighter, smaller, perfect for persons with arthritis. Fabulous walks right from the door step. The area of Filey is clean, vibrant & well looked after. We will be back. Thank you Sharon.

    Thank you for your lovely review. Our aim is to make our guests feel comfortable and ‘at home’ and it seems we achieved that during your stay. We are fortunate to be located near Parish Woods and the Cleveland Way, not to mention the glorious beach. The Filey in Bloom team do an excellent job in maintaining the public gardens. I look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner

  • "Fantastic stay at the Arbour retreat can not fault our stay."

    I will definitely be back to stay in the very well equipped bungalow. We needed for nothing except our own food. What i thought very useful was to not have to rush to the shops to get tea and coffee and washing up liquid , cloths , soap it was a very nice touch to be able to have the basics already in the place. The lovely chocolate was a bonus and a very nice treat and the doggies biscuits to keep woody happy. The furnishings, beds are very comfortable and very clean . I met the cleaner and the owner on leaving as our pickup was late and both couldn't have been more accommodating and patient with us holding them up from getting it ready for the next visitors. Very understanding lovely people and I thankyou both for that. Used the taxis and they are very cheap, on time. Very pleasant drivers who helped out with my disabled mother and friends mobility. Any body who chooses to use the Arbour retreat will not be disappointed with their stay.

    Thank you so much for your lovely review. I’m delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Arbour Retreat and found everything you needed.

    The bungalow was perfect for our needs. It has everything you need, a real home from home holiday accommodation. Communication with Sharon was very good from beginning to end and in between when there was a burst water main in the area which was swiftly dealt with by Yorkshire Water as it was external in the area and they had to shut off the water to the properties in the area. Sharon immediately went to action and provided us with large bottles of water for drinking as well as a larger container filled with water for other uses! The water board did fix the issue swiftly and we didn't need the extra water but really appreciated how Sharon dealt with the issue that was completely out of her hands. The bungalow is very well maintained, very clean and comfortable. The location was very good for Filey and further exploration of the area, we had a wonderful week exploring Yorkshire. It is very welcoming to dogs too with treats for them as well as wonderful chocolate treats for us. I would highly recommend a stay at Arbour Retreat, it is a very clean, well equipped, nicely decorated and comfortable holiday home. The garden is nice and enclosed so great for the dog. Parking off road too is a bonus. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

    Thank you for your very positive review. I’m delighted to hear you enjoyed your holiday in Yorkshire and the comfort provided by Arbour Retreat added to your enjoyment. Thankfully, Yorkshire Water were able to fix the water leak and the bottled water was not required. Property Owner

  • "The accommodation was very clean and comfortable."

    A 10 min walk to the town and sea front. Very quite area and easy to find. We had a problem on arrival due to a mix up in the provision of sheets/towels on the bank holiday weekend but after calling the contact for this property it was resolved quickly the same day.

    Thank you for your kind review. Once again, I apologise for the mix up with the linen - to be fair to the laundry this was entirely my fault and I’m glad the issue was resolved immediately. Property Owner

    Immaculately clean and everything you could need for your visit. A short drive to the town centre and beach. A short walk takes you to Parish Woods and the fields beyond are perfect to walk your dogs.

    Thank you for your lovely review. It is always reassuring when guests appreciate all that Arbour Retreat provides. I’m pleased that you found Parish Woods - the adjoining fields extend as far as the cliff top walk, The Cleveland Way, so walks can be anything from a gentle stroll to a strenuous hike!

    Property is located in a quite part of Filey approx 15minutes steady walk into town .Also handy for the bus service to Scarborough and Bridlington did not need to use car as good bus service. Would definitely stay again if coming to this area.

    Many thanks for your complimentary review. It’s good to hear that the furniture was comfortable and you were able to explore nearby resorts by bus rather than using your car. When guests provide a mobile number I always try to let them know when I finish cleaning to allow them to check in a little earlier - I am pleased to hear you found this useful. Property Owner

    Excellent condition and full of equipment. Only one thing we found to be a little unusual was that there were no blinds or curtains in bathroom, felt a bit exposed and on view, otherwise a great holiday let and we will definitely consider booking again. J. Brooks

    Thank you for your glowing review. I’m pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Arbour Retreat. We bought the bungalow as our own holiday home and had many years of enjoyment there until moving to Filey permanently. As the neighbouring property does not overlook the bathroom, we decided not to install curtains or blinds to maintain the clean lines of the window recess. Our last intention is to make guests feel uncomfortable, in any way, and none of our previous guests have mentioned this issue. However, if the absence of a blind would deter guests from making a return booking, we may have to reconsider. Property Owner

About the location

FILEY

Scarborough 7.7 miles; Bridlington 10.5 miles.

Set in the magnificent Filey Bay, Filey is a traditional English seaside resort with a friendly atmosphere, offering a restful holiday, making it an ideal place to stay for walkers and wildlife watchers at any time of the year. Filey Brigg is a low headland that protects Filey Bay and provides good bird watching and seawatching opportunities all year round. The 400 ft high Bempton Cliffs (RSPB Reserve) to the south of Filey Bay are home to over 250,000 seabirds in the summer. The town itself seems almost caught in a time warp, retaining much of its character with individual shops, narrow paths and ginnels and there is a slipway where local fishermen keep their boats, plus delightful beach chalets that can be hired through the summer months. The bay is edged with two promenades and there are various gardens, where brass bands play on a Sunday afternoon. This small town is family orientated and there are loads of family activities such as Alpamare UK waterpark, Filey Bird Garden and Animal Park and the Filey Dams Nature Reserve, a wetland reserve where all kinds of common and rare birdlife can be seen. A short drive brings you to the busier town of Scarborough where you will find great beaches, a castle, the Rotunda Museum and the acclaimed Sea Life Centre. Other towns worth visiting close to Filey include Bridlington, Whitby, Hornsea and Saltburn, which all demonstrate the vibrancy of this picturesque North Yorkshire region.
