About this property

Skylark - a beach house that sleeps 5 guests in 2 bedrooms

Skylark Beach House is situated on Blue Anchor Road, a favourite location with Bay regulars as it is close to the beach, tennis court, playground and village centre, but also very private.

Enter through the side door into the spacious open plan living area. To the left is the large kitchen with all the appliances you need. To the right is the dining space with extendable table and seating for 4-8. And in front, is the living area, with corner sofa and armchair, coffee table, log burner and TV/DVD.

From the living space, there are large bifold doors onto the front deck, ideal for catching the morning and afternoon sun.

Down the hall, there are two bedrooms. Main bedroom with kingsize bed and ensuite wet room with rainfall shower and second bedroom with full-size twin beds (can be joined to make a superking on request), and ensuite bathroom with a bath and rainfall shower over.

We also provide a 4ft small double folding guest bed for the 5th guest (fits in the kitchen area) if required.

Off-road parking for 2 cars side by side. Log burner and underfloor heating make Skylark beach house cosy for breaks all year round. Ceiling fans in all rooms too.

The property has little extras like TVS in the lounge and bedrooms, and a Tassimo coffee machine. Lots of games, beach equipment, a hammock and more so you can pack light!

Things To Note

The driveway/path sleepers can be uneven and slippery when wet and therefore this property may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues.
There are two raised decking areas at the rear of the property which may not be suitable for young children (around a metre off the ground -- see photos.)

Short Stay at Skylark

We had a lovely stay and found the Skylark beach house very well equipped, clean and it even had a 'mud daddy' so we could wash our dogs after being on the beach. The location is excellent and we would definitely consider staying there again.

Very Comfortable Accomodation with Excellent Location

This is our 4th stay at the Skylark. We normally take our two dogs with us and enjoy the walks up and down the coast. Its very near the leisure centre, pub and shop, with a short walk to the Filey beach. The accomodation is very spacious , clean and modern. Allocated Car parking is outside and has an EV charger. We will return at some time.

Fabulous - home from home

Wonderfully equipped and comfortable beach lodge in superb location. Love the two bedroom two bathroom set up - works well for couples. The main kitchen, dining area and lounge is a warm sociable space - great for chilly evenings. Owner has made this home from home with everything you can possibly want or need! From condiments to shampoo, from books and games to dishwasher tablets…. Would highly recommend and will be returning soon!

Dogs getaway

From start to finish Paula is great to communicate with. The lodge was excellent, everything you could need was provided. It’s definitely dog friendly with poo bags, bowls treats all provided too. Appliances and kitchen utensils pans plates etc all in great condition and plenty of them! Comfy beds and relaxing bedrooms. The living area is brilliant. The only niggle was on closer inspection the cleaning company could do with being asked to dust tans clean the coffee table as the games were covered in dust and there was a coffee stain. Tops of picture frames and bookshelves areas are in need of some attention. But this did not affect our stay the overall cleanliness is excellent. Would definitely stay again.

A fabulous place to stay!

We had a lovely stay at Skylark. It was like a home from home with all you needed and with an added level of luxury. It was clean, spacious, light and airy with lots of outdoor seating. Having stayed at The Bay a few times, this was by far the best accommodation particularly as there were a couple of little ones who could enjoy the space. I am sure we will be back.

Lovely beach chalet

Skylark is such a charming beach chalet. The sea side decor is lovely throughout the chalet. The chalet has plenty of books, games and beach equipment too. Outside pace is private and there are chairs out front and out the back to catch morning and afternoon sunshine (if you're lucky!).
