Sleights Holiday Retreat

Nestled in the charming village of Sleights, the charming cottage is a delightful retreat for couples or a family, providing a perfect base for exploring both the coast and countryside. With a cosy living room featuring an open fire and a suntrap garden for outdoor dining, this welcoming home is ready and waiting, whatever the weather or time of the year.

Step inside and experience a tasteful blend of traditional features and modern comforts. The ground floor welcomes you with a lounge/diner boasting beamed ceilings and a working Victorian cast iron fireplace for cosy evenings curled up on the comfortable sofas. The well-equipped kitchen is bright and spacious, providing everything you need for a self-catered stay. Upstairs, you’ll find two inviting bedrooms: a comfortable double room and a twin room, perfect for a restful night’s sleep. The generous bathroom features a freestanding roll-top bath and a separate shower for a relaxing soak at the end of the day. Outside, an enclosed cottage-style front garden awaits, complete with a bench, table, and chairs, providing a lovely spot to dine alfresco.

With its convenient location 4 miles from the coast and within easy reach of a pub and village shop, the cottage puts everything you need for an enjoyable break within touching distance. Explore the surrounding North York Moors National Park on foot or by bike, discovering rugged moorland, verdant forests and spectacular waterfalls along the way. The nearby River Esk, flowing below Sleights, is famous for its wild salmon, often leaping from the river, and fishing permits are available for those eager to catch their own dinner! Don’t miss the historic port town of Whitby (4 miles), famed for its sandy beach, Medieval abbey and pretty streets lined with welcoming shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants.
