Our Filey Respite Home

Our property in Filey is located at The Bay, a prestigious holiday development above a five-mile sandy beach stretching from north of Filey Brigg to Bempton Cliffs. The Filey house accommodates eight people and is furnished to a very high standard, providing a touch of luxury in a homely environment. Near enough to York to make travelling not too difficult and with a coastal setting, you feel you are away, but with the security of being close to home.

The property has two double bedrooms, a twin and master suite (one en-suite of which is situated downstairs), a wet room and house bathroom, a fully fitted kitchen and dining area and beautiful views from the balcony and bi-fold doors. It has a private drive with off-road parking.

The property is based only three miles away from Filey. On the holiday village there is a fantastic leisure complex and pool, pizzeria, pharmacy and arcade.

Pets (other than guide dogs) can’t be accommodated and the property is non-smoking.

Our Yapham Respite Home

Our Yapham property was generously donated to us by Hazel and Phil in 2022 as a respite break for couples affected by cancer. Based in the picturesque outskirts of Pocklington, it is surrounded by an abundance of nature and the ideal place for a tranquil getaway.

Suitable for two guests, the property has one double bedroom which is situated on a beautiful mezzanine. From a large picture window, you will enjoy stunning views across farmland which houses sheep and alpaca, and in the distance affords peaceful views of the Wolds. On the ground floor, the property has a spacious and beautifully furnished living and dining area with double doors onto a patio area. It also has a fully fitted kitchen and bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Pets (other than guide dogs) can’t be accommodated and the property is non-smoking.

How to apply

If you’d like to apply for a break away at either of our properties, you will need to complete an application form. You can download our application form, or come and collect one from our office in York Community Stadium, The Leveson Centre, one of our gift shops at York Community Stadium or York Hospital, or most GP surgeries. On the form, we require a signature from your doctor or senior nurse.

You can choose to stay from Friday to Monday (three nights) or Monday to Friday (four nights) at our property in Filey. Our Yapham property is available Friday to Monday or Tuesday to Friday (three nights). We ask you to be as specific as possible when listing your preferred dates on the application form to help us accommodate as many people as possible. You are unlikely to be allocated a space if you do not provide specific dates.

Both properties are booked three months in advance. Please send in your application form ahead of this. New patients will be given priority for bookings, however, one further visit is possible during subsequent years as long as the referral criteria is met.

Once a date has been agreed, we will require a £100 deposit to confirm the booking. This should be in the form of a non-refundable bank transfer or a cheque, which will be returned at the end of your stay unless you wish to donate it towards the upkeep of the apartment.

Further information about the properties can be found in our leaflet, which is available to download or collect.
