Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the cottage to be clean and well-kept, with only a few noting areas that could have been cleaner. The attention to detail in cleaning was highlighted by some, suggesting room for improvement.
The cottage's location is consistently praised for being quiet and peaceful, with easy access to local attractions and towns. Its proximity to Whitby and other favourite spots makes it an ideal base for exploring the area.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the property homely, though some have mentioned the sofa and shower pressure could be improved. The cottage is generally seen as cosy, with a few comments on areas that could enhance the comfort level.
The cottage is well-equipped, with a particularly well-received kitchen. However, some guests noted worn-out frying pans, blunt knives, and a noisy bathroom fan. While the facilities are good, there is room for maintenance and updates.
The welcome pack left by the owner is frequently mentioned and greatly appreciated by guests, adding a personal touch to their stay. It is noted, however, that such gestures, while delightful, may vary and are not guaranteed.

Sleights is a great destination for both coastal and rural vacations. It is situated on the edge of the stunning North Yorkshire moors country, which is popular with hikers and bikers, and is only 4 miles from the lovely Yorkshire coastline. Sleights has a pub, a fish and chip shop, an antique shop, a butcher's, a bakery, a hair salon, and a post office inside a Spar store, despite being a quiet town. The end of the North Yorkshire Steam Railway is only a short drive away, and Sleights is served by frequent public transportation to and from the adjacent port of Whitby. Whitby, which is located at the mouth of the River Esk, is in a prime location for exploring this stunning region of Yorkshire. It is an eerie village with narrow alleyways and secret passageways, a lovely harbour, secure sandy beaches, and, of course, the abbey, which is accessible via the fabled 199 steps.

The owner had left some biscuits, cake and prosecco which was a lovely touch. Whitby was only a short drive away, there are some lovely walks around the area and had everything that we had needed

It is fitted out well with all the appliances you would need..however as an older couple ..(late sixties) the stairs were narrow ,quite steep with a turn in them ,making them difficult to negotiate. The Bed albeit very comfortable was extremely low and again difficult to get out of.. for us older clients. The welcome pack was a lovely gesture and much appreciated. One criticism would be the attention to detail in cleaning..there were a number of areas that could have been cleaner..the drawer in the wahing machine..(now cleaned by us)..the rack in the oven needs a better clean..cobwebs on lights in Bedroom. But the general tidiness was good. On the whole we thought that it was lovely but probably better suited to a younger couple.
