Peaceful 2 bedroom cottage in rural location 3 miles from Whitby
Lowdale Farm Cottages are nestled between the North Yorkshire Moors and the historic seaside town of Whitby on the edge of the village of Sleights.
We are delighted to offer this 4 bedded cottage in a beautiful, peaceful location with off street parking. Perfect for couples and families looking for a quiet restful holiday. We are very much dog friendly and happy to welcome up to two dogs, but we ask that they are NOT left unattended at any time in the cottage.
Lowdale Cottage is a cosy 2 bed cottage sleeping 4. The bedrooms comprise a double and twin room. There is a family bathroom comprising a bath with integrated shower.
Downstairs is the open plan kitchen, dining room and comfortable lounge area. The back door leads to a walled patio area with table and chairs leading to a lawned area and overlooking our field.
The cottage has a modern well equipped kitchen with all the essentials for a self-catering holiday including a dishwasher. There is a washing machine and freezer in an external laundry room. We have reliable WiFi throughout the cottage and our smart TV box provides catch-up TV, Sky entertainment channels and access to Netflix.
There is exclusive off street parking directly in front of the cottage for 2 cars.
We DO NOT have EV charging facilities. Charging from a normal socket is strictly NOT permitted on safety grounds.
We also have a neighbouring 6 bedded cottage.
A warm welcome awaits you.
Situated on the edge of Sleights village we benefit from the facilities in the village including the renowned Radfords Butchers, Bothams Bakery and Eskdale Fisheries Fish and Chip Restaurant and take-away. Perrys Plant Centre - a pretty garden centre and tea rooms is a short stroll away and situated overlooking the River Esk. The village also has a pub serving meals.
The cottages are ideally situated with Whitby just 3 miles away. Many other points on the North East Yorkshire Coast are easily accessible, the busy holiday resort of Scarborough with all its attractions is 19 miles away. Sleights station is on the Esk Valley Line with trains running into Whitby (NYMR Heritage steam trains run through during the summer months) and regular bus service giving an alternative to the parking issues in Whitby particularly at busy times.
Please note that in high and peak seasons we only accept 7 night stays as a minimum with a Friday check in.

About the host
Hosted by Jane Le Blond
We are Jane, Bryan and Harvey the dog.
We followed our dreams and after several years of holidaying in the area made the move to Sleights in December 2018.
We left a busy and stressful lifestyle of running a Bus and Coach Business in Hertfordshire.
We were delighted to be able to purchase Lowdale Farm and its two adjoining cottages. Since we have been here we have spent much time improving the grounds and cottages. We love the area and hope that you will too.
Harvey joined us in May 2021 at 8 weeks of age. He is a Golden/Fox Red Labrador and very friendly and playful.
Why they chose this property
The cottage is ideally located in a quiet, rural location surrounded by beautiful views, with walks from the cottage, dark skies and wildlife in abundance. The North Yorkshire coast and Moors are easily accessible from the cottage.
What makes this property unique
We have an adjoining 6 bedded cottage - Farm Cottage which enables larger family or friendship groups to holiday together whilst still having their own privacy.
