  • "Lovely clean, well equipped apartment, in a perfect location."

    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.

    Thank you for your lovely review Marie. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

    The Garden Apartment was spotlessly clean. Very central for all amenities. Only down side really hard bed pillows & no hairdryer Everything else was spot on . The weather was good too lots of sunshine & starry nights Thank you Anne

    Thank you Anne for your lovely review. We have now replaced the pillows and supplied a hair dryer. We look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

  • "Property in a fantastic location, well equipped and lovely decor."

    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

    Thank you so much Kim for your fantastic review. We are very pleased that you enjoyed your holiday and look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

  • "The Garden Apartment is comfortable and well situated being across the road from the beach and park."

    It is also well equipped especially in the kitchen. Most of the apartment looked clean. However, the shower was not clean. The shower head had dirty slime between the holes as did the shower attachment pipe where the water runs out from. I set to and cleaned these as it was a health hazard . Black grime and slime came off both of these on the cloths I used. Furthermore, both bathrooms had the same dirt down each plug hole and around the plastic parts of the plugs. These should be checked often to prevent illness and disease occurring as a result. Mirror lights in bathrooms not working also 2 in kitchen TV system worked fine until last night

    Thank you for your positive review. We will arrange to change the shower head and replace the mirror lights. We did leave our contact details in the apartment and would have replaced the bulbs immediately had we been told at the time. Property Owner

  • "Absolutely beautiful apartment, everything you could possibly need is on your doorstep."

    Very good sized rooms and comfortable beds the kitchen is very well equipped. (The en suite could do with a little tart up in regards to grouting and a new shower head, but again goodsized and convenient) The beach has Beautiful views with a very good park up one end for the kids to enjoy and arcades/icecreams/fish and chips thr other end. We had one query at the start of our stay which the owners sorted out very quickly for us and came to check in on us the following day which we both thought was a really nice touch. We would highly recommend the garden apartment and will return again in the future for sure. Thanks again. Liam, chelsey, the kids.

  • "Lovely, very well equipped property in an excellent location."

    Everything you could need in the kitchen, beautifully furnished and we highly recommend this property. Just be aware if you are arriving when the food festival is on, which is opposite the property as on arrival we had to park about half a mile away! After that, parking was no problem. Our only issue was the TV. It had no BBC channels at all due to the non HD signal having been turned off in January. We contacted the owners who came round straightaway and tried to sort but being the Easter weekend they could only get someone to sort it on the Wed at the earliest. They were very apologetic and we left it at that. However it was disappointing later on to find out that the same problem was flagged on here in January, obviously when the non HD channels had just been turned off. The reply to that comment was that it had been sorted when it clearly hadn't! It is done now for future visitors but was just a shame it hadn't been sorted before now. Despite this minor glitch, we had a great week in a fabulous property and would return again!

    Thank you for your fantastic review. It was a pleasure to meet you both and we are pleased you had a great week and will come back again to the apartment. The glitch with the BBC channel on the TV had previously been reported to us but the guest told us that the issue appeared to have resolved itself. We are sorry you had this issue but we have, as you know ,now permanently fixed the problem by purchasing a new free view box and also installing a new satellite dish outside. The reception we are told is perfect. Thank you again for recommending the property so highly and we look forward to seeing you again . Property Owner

  • "The Garden Apartment is spacious and stylish."

    Stepping into the kitchen from the January chill we always felt comfortable and warm. The place was spotless and well equipped. Location could not be bettered as it sits on a corner two minutes from the beach and two minutes from the town centre. Filey in January is quiet (suits us!) and as the weather was quite good for that time of the year we were able take long walks on an almost deserted beach. We visited Scarbrough andf Bridlington but would also recommened Flamborough Head (watch the seals!) Humnaby (neat little village) and especially Cayton Bay. The Garden Apartment is definatley five star ..... but, what is the deal with the TV? Dont know if the owners are aware but the Sky box no longer supports any BBC station. The Sky remote works when it wants (we even changed the batteries). Why not buy a freeview box and chanel TV through the Wi-Fi? Having said which there were a number of DVD's on site and thanks to Fileys charity shops we added to the collection!

    Thank you so much for your fantastic review. We have recently installed a new TV aerial and a new free view box and added a large number of DVDs. We have also invested in some additional paintings and prints of Filey which have been hung in the master bedroom. Property Owner

    The outside area needs attention (weekly in my opinion), it needs sweeping weekly( not done in along time ) , patio area needs tidying up and good be so much prettier to sit in & look at , windows outside need cleaning desperately and paint work cleaning down at least once a month. The information on the apartment needs looking at ASAP , much of it is out of date and goes back at least 10 years or more, needs organising into files so its easy to find ,read.

There is list of people to contact in one of the files , we tried 2 numbers & left messages no one got back to us . The 3rd lady did answer but she was shocked to find out her number was still listed as she no longer works for these people , she also told me that the other numbers i had tried did not either. ( so out of date ) . Wifi code on back of router but its so tiny to read , why not just include in Welcome Pack so its easy to read and on hand . Finally the info on rubbish removal is so poor , listed on 2 stickers and stuck on the local info file . Recycle ?? told to use the council waste bins across the road , no info on glass bottles . Was really disappointed in this as i like to do my bit

The 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.

About the location

FILEY

Scarborough 7.7 miles; Bridlington 10.5 miles.

Filey is a traditional English seaside resort with a friendly atmosphere, offering a restful holiday, making an ideal place to stay for walkers and wildlife watchers at any time of the year. A real gem on the Yorkshire coast. A fishing town on the North East Coast, Filey has enjoyed a reputation of being a resort since Victorian times, set beside the magnificent Filey Bay, a long stretch of beautiful sand, with Filey Brigg and its shallow rockpools to the north. 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. Gannets, kittiwakes, puffins, guillimots and razorbills all nest there. Gannets are regularly seen diving for fish in Filey Bay. The Brigg area is an ideal place to watch for common and rarer waders, seabirds and migrating warblers,finches and thrushes. As well as seabirds, seals and other marine life, such as porpoises dolphins and minke whales can be seen in the sea around the Brigg. The town itself seems almost caught in a time warp, retaining much of its character with individual shops, narrow paths and ginnels. There is a small coble landing, 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, crazy golf and candy floss. Also in Filey there is the Filey Dams Nature Reserve, a wetland reserve where common and rare waders and wildfowl can be seen as well as autumn gatherings of swallows, sand martins and house martins. Also there is Parish Wood (just off Sycamore Avenue) an unexpected gem that offers a wealth of wildlife. Willow warbler, chiffchaff, blackcap and tree sparrows breed there and a wide variety of other species are regularly seen such as great spotted woodpeckers and sparrow hawks. Parish Wood also provides shelter and food for a wide range of migrant bird species such as goldcrests, pied and spotted flycatchers, warblers, finches, thrushes and woodcocks. A short drive brings you to the busier town of Scarborough where for family fun you can visit the Alpamare Waterpark, a waterpark unlike anything the UK has ever seen before, as well as plenty to explore and discover in this lovely area.
