Situated just 1.5 miles inland from Whitby, the small village of Ruswarp lies on the River Esk, with old stone cottages lining the main street. Ruswap has excellent amenities, including a local pub with hand-pulled real ales, a village shop and a renowned local butcher. The Esk Valley Walk runs through the village, and it is an easy 25 minute walk to the centre of Whitby.

Previous visitors' comments about The Ticket Office:
The cottage was very cosy and quirky and a good base from which to explore the Yorkshire Moors. It was very comfortable and well equipped.
Enjoyed walking along the disused railway track into Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay.

Excellent location, very clean, well equipped. Unique due to the passing steam trains - overall a really enjoyable holiday!
Mr Lee, Rotherham, April 2012
Enjoyed being on the station platform and being within walking distance of Whitby. The bed was extremely comfortable!
Mrs Bywater, Paraparaumu Beach, March 2012
The Ticket Office's location was very convenient as we arrived by train. We loved the decor and the cosy feel of the cottage. We stayed for our second wedding anniversary and found it a very romantic bolthole and a joy to come home to after some lovely days exploring the local area. We are holidaying without a car and found the local area perfectly accessible by public transport and on foot.
