Self-catering holiday cottages in Sleights

Stay in a self-catering holiday cottage in Sleights at the edge of the North York Moors. Sleights is a charming village close to Whitby on the North Yorkshire coast and the North York Moors with walking trails galore in and around it. Perfect for a walking holiday or a break that centres around outdoor activities and extreme sports - bring your friends and family. We have properties large and small to suit all your requirements, from luxury houses and romantic country cottages to impressive barn conversions and dog-friendly accommodation.

Sleights is connected to the moors by a large stone bridge that crosses the River Esk, which cuts through the village from the Esk Valley. The Esk is Yorkshire’s only salmon river and it’s in Sleights that you can see a leap. Between October and December, you can see the salmon battle their way upstream to the spawning grounds there, it’s a sight to behold indeed. If you enjoy long walks, try out the Esk Valley Walk, which is bound to the river course as it runs 35 miles out to join the North Sea at Whitby. The path can be walked in sections and is an absolute scenic joy. Take a day trip to Whitby and climb the 199 stone steps up to Whitby Abbey, made infamous due to its appearance in Bram Stoker’s seminal novel, Dracula. Also, enjoy time well spent on the beach at Scarborough, the North East’s best-loved seaside resort.
