Alana bay is a beautiful chalet set in the Meadows at the bay. The chalet was so spacious and spotless with everything you could need. Perfect location for us to walk our dog in between outings. Would definitely stay there again if available.

I have been to the Bay many times and stayed in various different properties from the houses, apartments, lodges, this is my second time staying in Alana Bay and I don't think I would book anywhere else on The Bay now! Lovely and spacious, comfy beds, amazing enclosed front decking for dogs. I was lucky to get a really sunny day on the Saturday and it was lovely to sit out on the decking in the sun on the garden furniture and relax after a long walk in to Filey. There's everything you need, I'm a serial over packer but I managed to cook up a full roast dinner with the utensils in the kitchen. Alana Bay has everything you need for a relaxing weekend away. Cant wait to come back!

I've been coming to The Bay for years with my dogs, and always struggled with the lack of enclosed garden space across many of the properties. It never stopped me going, was just one of those things I put up with! Alana Bay address's this problem as the front decking area has had clear Perspex added between the gaps of the decking fencing so is completely enclosed. As a dog owner to little dogs, I've been to many places where it has been advertised as dog friendly to find fences with big gaps so this was a breath of fresh air to be able to let the dogs out with no worries. Inside the accommodation also did not disappoint. Well equipped kitchen, full size fridge/freezer, big bedrooms, a bathroom with a bath (which is a luxury to me as I'm not a massive shower person!) and then a lovely shower room en-suite with a big shower, which I imagine of you like showers would be luxury. Will definitely be booking again and very much looking forward to my next stay.

Wonderful lodge, well looked after and ideal for someone with limited mobility.
The addition of a log burner is perfect made it really homely, it’s a place we would return to.

We found Alana Bay to be bright, clean and modern. All the facilities were in great condition. The living space was very spacious and well equipped. We loved the location on the Meadows as it was quiet and great for dog walks. The property is only around a 10-15 minute walk down to the beach or 5 minutes from the facilities.

In general excellent spacious accommodation, great location and facilities. Very well equipped with everything you need. If I was been picky would like somewhere to put you toiletries in the shower, the tiles on the wet room shower need some attention, a pouffee or foot stool would be a great addition.
Would recommend and hope for a return visit.
Booking and check in were excellent.

Thanks for the review. There is a footstool already and we will look at adding a caddy for toiletries too :-) Hope to see you again soon too.

Very comfortable spacious lodge. Nice interior touches make it a cut above. Location is central at the top of the meadows behind the lake. Comfortable beds, multiple balcony areas to catch the sun. Everything we needed

Very nice accommodation, very well equipped for the stay. Front balcony is enclosed which is a great idea as it leads onto the road.
Things to improve would be:
- tea towel, washing up utensils/liquid, fair enough only 1 dishwasher tablet provided but it is expecting a lot to bring a full washing up set up, would make keeping the lodge clean easier.
- state what type of coffee machine it is so coffee pods can be bought in advance.
- more cooking trays, especially pizza trays as this must be a very common thing cooked.

These are minor things but overall was very good.

Thanks for taking time to review Alana Bay. Our housekeeping team would have dropped the tea towel etc in for you as they must have forgotten those. Glad you enjoyed it overall

Fantastic accommodation and location

The lodge was spotless.
Beds comfortable.
Had a problem with the drain to the shower which was dealt with straight away.
Our daughter is in a wheelchair and there was plenty of space.
Would highly recommend this accommodation.

We holiday at The Bay every year and this is the best beach house we have stayed in. Location was fantastic, very spacious and clean. Paula was great in keeping in touch from booking to our departure. We will definitely be back.

Excellent lodge, very well laid out, air fryer would be an improvement, the two rear deckings could be made more dog friendly

Roy from Mexborough stayed at Alana Bay for 6 nights in August 2025

Paula replied 214 days ago

Thanks for the review. We do avoid air fryers as they are a fire risk if people are not familiar with them, and we are limited in what we can do with the rear decks as they are a fire exit in an emergency so we have to ensure they are both in keeping with the planning permission and allow easy exit if needed.

Lovely accommodation

Really nice lodge, with lots of homely touches, dish washer and washer, the enclosed deck was great as my granddaughter could play out and not escape. We asked re a bed guard and the manager got one for us. Nothing was too much trouble.
Would stay again

Just had 11 nights at Alana bay lodge and the weather was lovely. Lodge is very comfortable and the enclosed front decking is a great idea when you have a dog. The only downside is the gravel road which is constantly leaving white dust over all the cars and covers your shoes when walking back to the lodge. Will still return for another stay later in the year .

Thanks for the lovely review. Hope to see you again! And unfortunately we can't do anything about the gravel road as that was a condition of planning permission.

The lodge was comfortable and nice to have 2 double beds and ensuites. The Kitchen equipment could do with some attention and we made the owners aware of our suggestions.

Glad you enjoyed another stay with us. And we will certainly look into getting a coffee machine and bigger wine glasses
