Whitby 4 miles.
Sleights is ideal for both a coastal and country holiday. Just 4 miles from the picturesque Yorkshire coastline, it is also on the edge of dramatic moors country, littered with attractive villages and scenery. Though quiet, Sleights boasts two pubs, a fish and chip shop, an antique shop (with cafe), a butcher's, bakery and a post office. The North Yorkshire Steam Railway terminus is a few minutes’ drive, together with regular public transport to and from the nearby port of Whitby. Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk and is ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire. It is an atmospheric town of winding streets and hidden alleys, with a picturesque harbour, safe sandy beaches and, of course, the abbey, reached by the famous 199 steps.

Beautiful cottage in an excellent position. Many thanks for a lovely stay.
Mr Land, Bexhill-on-Sea, May 2012
Well what can I say. The best cottage I have ever stayed in anywhere in the world. An ideal, quiet location and this cottage has everything you could possibly need. The owners were very helpful. This was a wonderful break from the office.
Mr Bentley, Clifton Springs, February 2012
Peace and quiet, lovely views, and a nice place to relax.
Mr Porteous, Tranent, November 2011
We enjoyed every minute of our holiday. The accommodation was excellent and the owners were more than helpful. The Piggery is like a home from home except it was more peaceful than being at home. The surroundings are beautiful and we had deer in the garden every morning. It was in easy access to shops and Whitby. We would just like to thank the owners for the use of their beautiful well fitted out cottage. We will be back next year.
