  • Elspeth Brien

    Lovely house with very comfortable beds and very good facilities - kitchen well-equipped, plenty of room, warm. The village of Sleights has a brilliant butcher, baker and local store.The area is beautiful with lots to do; we walked the coastal paths and valleys, the children went crabbing, we caught trains and buses and ate well. Would love to spend more time there.
