There are also miles of cycle routes and footpaths to explore too!
Out of the four properties, The Chalet has the most unique location, at the bottom of the cliff and just yards from the beach. It’s just a stone’s throw away from a quaint café which serves delicious homemade cakes and warming teas and coffees. Step inside and get a feel for this cosy seaside bungalow. The open-plan living area has been designed to maximise the stunning views. The galley-style kitchen and dining area sit to one side and there is plenty of comfortable seating for four.

The house shower room completes the accommodation. Step outside and you will find an enclosed patio area with additional seating; just perfect for an al fresco breakfast whilst watching the sun come up over the English Channel. In under a minute you can be on the beach enjoying the miles of golden sands.
A short drive away is the pretty seaside town of Filey and the harbour port of Scarborough. Both towns offer lovely walks along promenades and a plethora of seaside attractions, tea rooms, restaurants and shops. A visit to rspb Bempton Cliffs is a must whilst staying at The Chalet, or why not travel a little further inland and enjoy the rolling countryside of the Yorkshire Wolds. This holiday cottage will leave you with ever lasting memories and is the ideal base for your seaside holiday.

Pros- Lovely location with a very short (steep) walk to the beach or cliff walk. Chalet was acceptable if a little dated. ( I think it might be too small for a family of 4.) The owners were very friendly and quick to sort a minor issue. Cons - The patio needed weeding and the enclosed fence is only ok for larger dogs. Little ones would be able to get through.Double duvet cover had strong washing powder smell that set me off wheezing. The patio is not private as the public walk past to the beach.Would I go again? No. As a single female I felt vulnerable at night even with the dog.

Amazing location, pictures don’t do it justice. Cottage needs upgrading but everything was clean and working. There is not much of a phone signal and no WiFi. The views are stunning and the beach couldn’t have been nicer. Nicely positioned for lots of local sightseeing as long as you have a car. Would definitely consider returning
