The Folly
Our holiday home is available for welfare breaks all year round for serving and former members of the RAF and the RAF Family. It is a charming four-bedroom, four-bathroom dormer bungalow situated only a 15 minute walk from the traditional seaside town of Bridlington. The Folly is available from 18 November up until 23 December 2024.
Bridlington is a holiday resort in Yorkshire in England, UK. The town is situated on Yorkshire's East coast, north of the Hull and the River Humber just south of Flamborough Head in Bridlington Bay.
In the seaside town of Bridlington, you can find a variety of different shops, restaurants and popular seaside attractions. With its fantastic range of activities and attractions, Bridlington is the ideal destination to visit for a holiday with the kids or for some peace and quiet.
The bungalow is situated off Fortyfoot in a small, secluded hideaway location. It is ideal for families with a large kitchen/dining/sitting room, a cosy separate lounge/snug and four spacious bedrooms (three with ensuite). The bungalow is suitable for wheelchair access, along with a disabled friendly bathroom. A real home from home, with everything you need for a memorable holiday. This opportunity has been made possible by the generosity of The April Fools’ Club and the Libor Fund who both made a significant donation towards the cost of the property.
