Fern Lea

Fern Lea is a substantial semi-detached Victorian villa in Sleights, North Yorkshire, sleeping up to 10 across five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The property comes ready to use: bed linen, towels, Wi-Fi and utilities are all included, and heating keeps things warm. You get a fully fitted kitchen with electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher and microwave; laundry facilities in the utility room; and enough living space to spread out across the three floors. One well-behaved pet can stay at no extra cost.

Ground floor layout centres on a living room with Freeview TV and DVD player, separate dining room opening onto a patio, and kitchen with breakfast bar. Bedrooms upstairs include a kingsize with ensuite shower on the first floor, three further rooms with twin beds, and a double on the second floor with its own ensuite. The main bathroom has a bath and shower. There is an enclosed garden, larger patio with seating and a barbecue, bike storage and on-road parking. A cot and highchair are available if needed. The house does not permit smoking.

From here Whitby is four miles away, while the North Yorkshire Moors and Heritage Coast lie within reach for walking and exploration. Goathland village, the Moors steam railway at Pickering, and Ruswarp with its river walks and miniature railway are all accessible for day trips.
