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 butchers, 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.
Sleights 0.5 miles. A fabulous, detached stone period property, a former farmhouse, in the hamlet of Iburndale on the edge of Sleights village. Oozing olde worlde charm and character, this delightful Sleights cottage retains beamed ceilings, stripped boarded doors and original fireplaces. Upstairs in this Sleights cottage are three spacious bedrooms, one boasting a double ended bath, each individually styled to provide very restful sleeping accommodation.

A five minute drive brings you into the popular seaside town of Whitby, with its pretty harbour, narrow winding streets and famous Abbey.

Congratulations to Cliff Farm Cottage in providing first class accommodation and helpful support for customers. We look forward to returning there in the future! Thanks Sykes staff one again for arranging our holiday in a lovely cottage at short notice and on a non-standard start day. As usual we were not disappointed, as we have been with other cottage companies. It's great to know we can always rely on you.

The cottage was very warm and cosy and the beds were comfortable. It was also private but near to lots of amenities.
