Lovely accomodation

Blue Anchor Retreat had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It’s in a good location close to site amenities with good parking and many nearby places to visit. Being on one level and having two showers was just the type of accommodation we need so we will be back again.

Great place to stay

Blue Anchor Retreat is a really great place to stay. We have had several holidays at The Bay and this is defo one of the best parts of the resort, close to the centre and access to the beach path. Very quite, private and safe for the dog with access out onto a grassed area off the decking. Booking and communications were great and we would definitely stay here again.

Lovely comfortable lodge.

We were delighted with the lodge, it was very clean and comfortable. We only had a couple of problems which were quickly sorted. The only fault was that there were no instruction manuals for any of the appliances, so using the oven was guess work.

Nice chalet in good location

This is our second visit to The Bay and again we really enjoyed our stay. The chalet is in a quiet location but near to the centre of the village and the swimming pool. Parking right outside the chalet is a real bonus for loading and unloading on arrival/departure. The chalet was lovely and warm and had everything we needed for a short stay. We also thought the boules was a nice touch as the boules court is right outside the chalet. We will definitely visit again - Thank you!

Lovely stay at the Bay.

Another lovely stay at the Bay. This was our 4th time there but 1st time staying at Blue Anchor. Every place we have stayed has been clean, comfy, good location and this was no different. Beds were lovely and comfy, kids liked their own little room sharing together. Games for the children to play with and a little welcome pack when we got there was great. It was very quiet, Didn't hear anyone else but only a 3 minute walk to the pool! Would definitely recommend.

Perfect holiday ✔️✔️✔️

The accommodation was excellent, it provided everything we needed. The Bay Filey complex is very impressive and there are so many different types of accommodation to suit everyones requirements. The location next the beach cannot be beaten. There is an excellent bus service nearby, no need to use the car. Our booking through Filey Bay Direct was extremely professional and friendly. Hopefully will be back next year.

Wonderful winter break

We decided to have a winter break away. Our intention was to have a cosy few days. The chalet did not disappoint. It was so warm and welcoming. The beds were super comfy and everything was in the chalet that we needed. There weee clear instructions for everything should we have needed them. The whole experience was great. We will be booking for next year so my daughter and I can have another week away together.

Great 4 night stay out of season

Delightful lodge, peaceful location, bijoux but fully equipped. Plenty of room for us as a couple with one spaniel. Adored the bifolds opening onto decked area which has a quiet aspect overlooking a small boules/garden area. Despite it being March, we managed to sit outside with a glass of something on 2 of the days. Would be fab in summer. Lounge/dining area worked well because the corner sofa defined both areas providing seating for 4 adults comfortably. Short walk to leisure centre. Enjoyed the pool which wasn't particularly busy at this time of year.

Renew the beds if I was to come again

Lovely accommodation,, everything you need in a property but beds/mattresses so uncomfortable to the point we considered leaving a night early. It appears a lot of properties put in all good features, decor etc but you go to bed and poor beds/matress. When I go on holiday I go to rest and not been able to sleep waking with back ache doesn’t give a restful holiday.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 January 2024
I'm sorry that you found the bed uncomfortable at Blue Anchor Retreat. It is a softer mattress than some other properties which might not suit some guests, so if you do wish to come again, please contact me as I can advise you on other lodges with firm or orthapedic mattresses in the same street.

Perfect location

In our opinion, having stayed at Filey Bay in the past; Blue Anchor Road is ideally positioned on the site. A lovely quiet area and the Beach Houses are amazingly warm and comfortable. All facilities are near at hand including tennis, archery and a large size indoor pool which is a real attraction for those who fancy a swim numerous times a day. All areas are kept spotlessly clean. A pass is provided by the owners of the property to allow free use of the pool and spa. The private path to the local sandy beach is a real plus and ideal for dog owners. Perfect holiday retreat. We look forward to our next visit. (Please make sure the bollard lights are on at the bottom of Blue Anchor Road as it is very dark at night for the properties around the bottom corner if they are switched off.)

Time for a change

Accommodation beginning to look a little tied. Patio step very loose, bordering dangerous. Lack of towels
Response from VrboOwner on 20 September 2023
We have already reported the step to the Bay team as they manage the outside, but have asked them again and they have it on their list for this week. We also have a decorator booked in for a full re-decoration, and apologies my cleaners missed a couple of hand towels and delivered these late to you.
