Guests say
The Old School House in Sleights is a well-received cottage, praised for its cosy charm, cleanliness, and underfloor heating. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and the thoughtful welcome basket.

While the garden size and road access are noted, these do not detract from the overall positive feedback.

Location
The location is generally praised for its proximity to Whitby and other attractions, with good local amenities and dining. Some concerns are raised about the busy road and limited outdoor space for dogs, but these are minor compared to the overall positive feedback on location.

The comfort of the cottage is frequently highlighted, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the underfloor heating a delight. The cosy atmosphere contributes to a comfortable stay, although one review mentioned the property being compact.
Facilities
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the well-equipped kitchen. However, some guests noted an overabundance of kitchen items leaving little space for food storage, and one mentioned the lack of a freezer. The parking situation also received mixed reviews.
Thoughtfulness
The welcome basket is frequently mentioned as a thoughtful touch, enhancing guests' experience. It should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are subject to change and not guaranteed for every stay.
