About this property

Homely bungalow cottage located within Perrys garden centre on the banks of the River Esk, Yorkshire. The cottage has great facilities and its location is great for families or couples who enjoy walking and the great outdoors. Guests will feel immediately at home when sitting in the cottage’s living area, with comfortable seating and gas fire, and they’ll be entertained in the evenings with a TV and selection of books and games. The kitchen/diner is also located on the ground floor and has all the amenities you’ll need to ensure meal times go smoothly. Also located on the ground floor is the property’s shower room. Guests will find both a double and twin bedroom. The garden to the rear of the property offers a great chance to catch some sun, and the table and chairs offer an alternative to the kitchen/diner for enjoying a meal. There is also a lovely summerhouse located in the garden, complete with a very comfortable sofa, it’s a great spot to unwind with a book and cold drink. A well behaved dog is also welcome. As mentioned previously, the property is adjacent to a garden centre, which is run by the owners of the cottage. Within here are many beautiful plants and flowers, and guests are welcome to wander round and take a closer look. There’s also a café, where guests can enjoy 10% off their food and drinks, and a croquet and putting green. Located to the rear of the cottage/garden centre is the River Esk, a very popular spot for dog walkers. Away from the cottage is the beautiful seaside town of Whitby. Whitby offers a lot for visitors to enjoy, with its stunning views of the North Sea and also a beautiful harbour and the Captain Cook Memorial Museum – which is located in the house where the famous explorer once lived! Guests are also advised that there’s a fine selection of pubs, restaurants and shops worth checking out. With its surroundings and homely atmosphere, River Gardens Cottage really is unique and offers a great location for families to enjoy a relaxing break in Yorkshire.

Sleights is situated just four miles from the Yorkshire coastline, it is also on the edge of the North Yorkshire moors, littered with villages and scenery. It is very popular with walkers and cyclists. Though quiet, Sleights has a pub, a fish and chip shop, an antique shop, a cafe and a Post Office within a Spar shop. The North Yorkshire Steam Railway is a few minutes’ drive, while the town of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk and is ideally positioned to explore Yorkshire. A town of winding streets and hidden alleys, with a harbour, safe sandy beaches and, of course, the abbey, reached by 199 steps.
