Discovering Anchor Bay Holidays
Specialists in distinctive, high-quality holiday cottages along the Yorkshire Coast, Anchor Bay Holidays share their story - from local roots to a handpicked portfolio of nearly 100 exceptional stays
What if your next indulgent escape didn't require an airport lounge or a passport? What if, instead, it started with a spontaneous decision, a scenic coastal drive, and the soft hush of waves greeting you within the hour?
This is the art of the elegant escape – relaxed, refined, and refreshingly close to home. Welcome to the Yorkshire Coast, reimagined by Anchor Bay Holidays.
Where Spontaneity Meets Style
With a handpicked portfolio of unique coastal cottages, Anchor Bay Holidays offers more than just a place to stay – it offers a seamless way to escape the everyday. Whether you book in advance or on a whim, many of our exquisite properties are ready for you the same day. Book at lunchtime, redirect your online food shop delivery and you could be watching the sunset from your balcony by early evening.
From panoramic beachfront apartments and stunning beach houses to large detached cottages with hot tubs and log burners, each stay captures the character of the Yorkshire Coast – paired with the elevated comfort and attention to detail today’s discerning traveller expects.
Discover a Coastline of Distinction
Stretching from the sweeping sands of award-winning Filey Beach to the dramatic white cliffs of Flamborough Head and the vibrant coastal charm of Bridlington, this part of the Yorkshire Coast offers luxury in its purest form: space, serenity, and unspoiled beauty.
Just a short drive away, Bempton Cliffs is a haven for nature lovers – home to soaring gannets, puffins, and some of the UK’s most spectacular seabird colonies. Whether you're exploring cliff-top trails, enjoying an unhurried lunch with a sea view, or strolling the expansive, dog-friendly sands with only the sound of the waves for company, the Yorkshire Coast invites a slower pace – offering time, space, and the kind of restorative simplicity that stays with you.
Anchor Bay Holidays also offers a range of handpicked holiday cottages in Sewerby, a sought-after spot perched on the Flamborough Headland Heritage Coast. Often described as Bridlington’s premier coastal village, Sewerby is perfectly positioned between the bustling energy of Bridlington, the rugged charm of Flamborough, and the peaceful birdwatching haven of Bempton. It’s an ideal base for those wanting to explore the coast's natural drama without compromising on comfort, style, or convenience
Exceptional Stays, Thoughtfully Curated
Anchor Bay Holidays offers a carefully curated portfolio of nearly 100 distinctive holiday cottages across the Yorkshire Coast, all within a short drive of their base – and where it all began – The Bay, Filey, and the charming seaside town of Filey itself.
Founded by long-standing property owners frustrated by the lack of quality alternatives to mass-market agencies, Anchor Bay Holidays was created with a clear vision: to deliver a high-quality, high-value experience for both discerning guests and like-minded owners.
Every property in the growing collection has been personally selected and is held to consistently high standards. From stylish sea-view apartments and large detached family homes to romantic boltholes and dog-friendly cottages with hot tubs, there is a stay to suit every type of traveller, trip, and budget.
To ensure the highest quality, Anchor Bay Holidays enforces strict minimum standards for décor, inventory, and equipment – each property is inspected monthly against a comprehensive 40-point checklist.
Now, co-founders Anthony and Kirstie have thoughtfully expanded their offering beyond The Bay, bringing their personal, owner-led approach to coastal homes across the region. From one owner to another, they understand what it means to entrust a holiday property to someone else – and what’s needed to deliver peace of mind.
For holiday homeowners who share the same high standards, Anchor Bay Holidays welcomes conversations with those considering letting. To learn more, get in touch directly or download their Owners’ Guide here.
