When a Leeds/Harrogate boutique hotel came to Filey.
This cool little venue really puts Filey on the map.
A classy boutique hotel, with gourmet food that wouldn't be out of place in London, Leeds or Harrogate.
Absolutely fantastic stay and wonderful dining experience.

I found this hotel to be rather difficult to categorise due to the very quirky decor. It's a place that you will either love or hate.
Personally, I love it, but many will be put off by some of the artwork.
Plus points are the brilliant front of house staff for whom nothing is too much trouble. Food is superb, although a little overpriced.
Negative points, for the price, the owners should be available, and introduce themselves to their guests.
We stayed in room 4, and first impressions were of a well maintained room. On a closer examination, the carpet, being a light colour was extremely dirty

Called in for lunch with family. The hotel is perfectly positioned just across from the sea, beautiful scenery to sit for a meal. We all had the Steak and ale pie which was excellent and I would have again. Recently refurbished to a very high standard. If you are in Filey call in you will not be disappointed.

We thought this hotel looked really nice and asked to sit on the terrace for a drink as we had a dog.
A member of staff said just sit down. My daughter and I walked in to use the toilet, leaving the others to find a seat. A woman in a white sheet dress asked if she could help, we asked for the toilets and she directed us in.
She then followed us in to the toilets and asked rudely where we were sitting!!
I said on the terrace with the dog. She said “well there’s no table for them!”
I apologised. It seems although the waitress had told the family to sit down this other waitress in the white

Couldn’t have asked for anything better for 2 night relaxing getaway. Easy check in, beautifully furnished and finished room. Very comfortable large bed, slept so well especially after a long walk along the beach and a trip up to Whitby Abbey. Made dinner reservations for both nights when we booked, glad we did as justifiably the restaurant was full both nights. Dinner was extremely good, we were very impressed having Beef Wellington, steak and chips, amazing fish and chips and baked salmon during our stay with a great selection of good quality wines. The hotel itself is beautifully decorated

Booked dinner this evening Monday 31st May following a recommendation from a stranger. It was a very good recommendation indeed. It is STUNNING here. The attention to detail of absolutely everything is fantastic. Such a great ambience. Classy and relaxed. Great attentive staff. The food is worth every penny you pay, it's so good. Such a fantastic varied menu. Amazing puddings. Even the toilets are a cut above with great smelling hand products which linger and stay in your memory just like this decadent hotel/restaurant. Only wish we lived here'
