Haven Blue Dolphin Holiday Park Filey

Picture this: it's Day Four of your holiday, it's raining sideways for the third morning straight, and your eldest has just asked (for the dozenth time) if it's "pick-up-your-kid-from-the-park-yet time."

Filey has an earned reputation for being England's quieter version of a seaside town. It sits on the North Yorkshire coast like a secret that's only been shared with people who drove down the A164 on purpose. (Or got hilariously lost on the way to Yorkshire, but that's another story.)

(Quick note: bring extra marshmallows. You're going to meet said neighbour.)

The Activities — Because Mums and Dads Need a Break Too

Before I let the kids loose on the swimming pool, we did a lap of the indoor leisure complex, and I have to say, that heated pool is magic after a beach day. There's also an entertainment venue that runs family bingo on evening, a soft play area, and archery sessions that made my husband SO mad (he lost to our eight-year-old).

Speaking of kids — Blue Dolphin is practically built around the childhood dream: go-karts, a mini golf course, an adapted adventure playground, and a nature trail. If your child doesn't return home sunburnt and talking about a new**
