About the host

Host profile image
We bought this property in 2015 to run as a holiday rental. We had always dreamed of having a holiday home we could run as a business and this is it! We refurbishing the house, decorating it from top to bottom, including a lot of re-plastering, landscaping and fencing the back garden, so that it makes a real home from home for all our guests, who love it as much as we do!

After a lot of blood sweat and tears we are open and looking forward to the next chapter in our dream.

Why they chose this property

We love this area, and when searching for a house were looking in the North Yorkshire Moors and villages around when we by chance came upon Fern Lea in Sleights. Sleights is the main village between the Moors and the Coast when coming over the Moors from Pickering and has a great pub and excellent fish and chip shop, plus a butchers, bakers and small Spar store.We fell in love with the character of the old property and decided this was the place to be. With the Moors being on the door step the advantage of Sleights is that you get the best of both - being close to the coast and the wonderful beach at Sandsend, as well as being a stones throw from the Moors, and some breathtaking scenery. Whitby being on the doorstep is an added bonus as there is always something happening, whether it be a music weekend, the famous Goth weekend, or just a visit to the Abbey.

There is no finer view then looking down the hill to Lythe over Sandsend beach and Whitby in the background. A perfect place!

What makes this property unique

The property is raised up from the road (Sleights is built on a hill) and because of this the front room is always light and bright. There are lovely walks from the front door, up the hill for a fantastic view over the village and rolling hills, or along the river where the steam trains run to Whitby.
The kitchen is wonderful, light and bright with doors onto the patio and the breakfast bar enables you to have an informal snack, and to sit and chat while cooking.
The garden is fully enclosed and so a safe area for the dogs to roam - we have two dogs and they love to go for a walk on Sandsend beach.
We love the village as it has everything you need on your doorstep there is no need to go any further if you don't want the hassle, a truly perfect holiday location.
