May half term break

We have stayed at the Bay several times in the past in a one-bedroom apartment. Now that our children are getting bigger, we needed to stay somewhere with more room. Anchor Down was perfect. Spacious, clean, well located and had everything we needed! Beds were comfy and the kids loved having their own room this time. Thank you! We’ll be back!

A lovely stay

As an owner with Filey Bay Direct, my property was booked, so I decided to book another with my 3 children and dog for the Easter holidays. We all felt right at home. There was plenty of parking nearby, and the kitchen was well-equipped. It was handy having TVs upstairs too so we could use one for my son's games console.

A lovely cottage!

We had such a lovely stay at Anchor Down! A family-friendly cottage that had everything we needed and more - I love the little games and books that were available too as well as children's cutlery and plates - these little touches make all the difference. We stayed here with our 6-year od and twin 4-year-olds and it was fine for us. The location on the Bay was great too with a short stroll to the beach and amenities on site. Would definitely recommend it and would also return!

Amazing Stay

This is the second time i have stayed at anchor down with family, i can honestly say once again it didn't disappoint. Paula and her team have thought of everything in this gorgeous cottage down to the smallest detail. We had an amazing stay and although chilly outside we were warm and cosy inside. I would highly recommend staying here to all of my friends and family. Great location close to all amenities and a short drive to some beautiful places. The cottage was pristine with access to all manor of pots, pans etc we were able to stay here with a home from home feeling. Massive thank you to all of the team that work hard to ensure you have the perfect stay.

A very nice and comfortable cottage. My only problem was the thumb turn to lock the front door my wife as dementia and could easily open the door meaning I couldn't even go to the shop without leaving her and I think it could be an issue for families with children.

Lovely house, well equipped and very comfortable, a short walk from the sea.

Anchor Down is a nicely situated, very well equipped and furnished house in The Bay Holiday Village. Although we did not use any of the extra facilities on site (except the shop) they seemed to be good. The beds were comfortable, we slept very well, and enjoyed lying in the bath after a strenuous walk. This was the second property we have stayed on at this site, and by far the better of the two. The owner has taken a lot of care to make the house a 'home from home'. We plan to return.

Great place to stay

We absolutely loved our stay at Anchor down! We just wish we could have stayed longer! All the facilities you could possibly need for a stay away from home. The only suggestion I could make would be to put some rubber grips under the door mats as they were super slippy and my son often skidded on them coming in and out of the back door. I also wondered if the site provided a recycling option as we had no means of recycling our rubbish as there was only 1 bin at the bin store

Anchor Down good but The Bay tired

Facilities at the Bay were very tired, grounds overgrown. The amusements did not work, but took your money. Pool was cold. Coffee shop closed. The experience was not as good as the last time we stayed at the Bay. Would recommend the property but not the facilities on the Bay.

Great family weekend away

Booked last minute weekend away as we were let down by away resorts. Well what can I say best thing that happened to us. This was booked so my mum and partner could have their only holiday this year. This place was like a home from home comfortable, clean and cosy. Every thing was thought of for our stay. Great welcome pack on arrival instructions on getting to the property were spot on. We’ve stayed at the bay before bu this is by far the best we’ve stayed in. I’d recommend this property to all of my family and friends. Paula went above and beyond to make our stay the best. Thank you Paula and team

Filey Bay, lovely seaside get away

Great facilities on The Bay site though disappointed the coffee shop that shows on Google maps is no longer there. Pool, activities and pub (which is a bit pricey) are good. Short walk to the beach - very steep path down which might be useful for some to know and a lovely walk up to Filey town. Would’ve been nice for there to be some ‘welcome info’, local leaflets and tips for nearby restaurants/takeaways etc left in the property but we couldn’t find this. House was lovely and clean, bed very comfy and perfect amount of space for our short stay. Could do with better oven gloves and some coffee pods being provided (why have a fancy machine if not providing the pods?!). Also, desperately needs a fly trap! Seemed a Filey issue re the flies rather than Anchor Down as they were everywhere but some provision to deal with them would’ve been much appreciated. Also, would’ve been useful to know in advance that there’s no space for the travel cot in the second bedroom. So, a few niggles but a good place to stay overall.

Comfortable and quiet

Anchor Down was excellently kitted out. The furniture was quality and the bed super comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom are modern with all the utensils one could wish for. The accommodation was spotless and the garden area was great for relaxing and having a barbecue. Parking was very convenient and information on the facilities of the park were in the accommodation. All in all we had a really relaxing stay with our seven year old grandson. One criticism of the actual park facilities is the football field area. The nets in the goals are really dilapidated and need replacing.

A short stay

Location is excellent and the area is kept clean and tidy.. Not impressed with the stained mattress cover or the missing pillow protectors and old stained pillows. Kitchen sink was not overly clean. Considering the fact that you have to leave by 10am and you are not allowed to enter until 4pm the should be plenty of time ensure a better level of cleanliness. The property had definitely not been hoovered. If I was to recommend I would say the above as a caution.

Short break

We came to Filey as a family with 2 dogs. We all loved the location near the beach. We went to Filey bay beach 2 days then Filey beach for 2 days. We preferred Filey beach as it was easier for us to get to as you can park very close on the promenade. We went to the Royal Oak Inn and Harry’s for meals which were both great.

About the host

Host profile image
ANCHOR DOWN is owned by Pat and Graham Gallagher and managed for them by Paula Foster, Filey Bay Direct (FBD).

Pat and Graham Gallagher are from Bradford and they just love Smiley Filey. This is why:

Beautiful award winning beaches and so much to see and do. We only came to The Bay for a look and fell in love with the cottage. Anchor Down is a home from home and though we love being here we would like others to share the experience.

We are happy to accept a couple of small well behaved dogs by prior arrangement.

Why they chose this property

Anchor Down is in a lovely private sunny location on a quiet part of the Bay. The patio doors open onto a wide expanse of communal lawns and a boules court. We just fell in love when we first stepped foot inside.

What makes this property unique

Plenty of parking nearby. Quiet sunny location.
