  • "We had an amazing week in this property and will be returning very soon we hope."

    Could not fault it in anyway or form.

  • "Excellent and well presented."

    Made special by the homely welcoming touches like tea, coffee, milk and biscuits. A very very light, airy delightful property. Information provided by the owners about the history not only of the property but the local area was very interesting. Would certainly revisit and recommend to others.

  • "We have had a wonderful week at Limber View!"

    The cottage is warm and cozy and has spectacular views of the North Yorkshire landscape! Very handy for our many explorations of this stunning area! We had a fantastic day with the NYMR and loved our visits to the coast! Thank you so much for the cake and biscuits! We have enjoyed our stay in your gorgeous cottage!

  • "We had a wonderful holiday with friends at Limber View."

    The property was everything we hoped it would be, very comfortable, warm and clean. It was well furnished and the kitchen was well provided including freezer, dishwasher, microwave etc. The property was ideally located for walking in the moors and dales, sight seeing and the North York Moors Heritage Railway. It was also close enough to the coast. We had a great holiday.

  • "The cottage is excellent and had everything we needed."

    The only thing that wasn't mentioned by Sykes and is important is the very steep hill which made it impossible for us to walk to the village shop and pub.

  • "I had a an amazing week at Lumber View."

    What a beautiful and relaxing cottage; I had everything I could have needed (and more). The cottage was very spacious and well equipped. All the fixtures and fittings were of a very high standard. The kitchen was well equipped. It was easy to get to and a good centre to explore the local area. It was lovely to be greeted with some goodies, including milk, cake and biscuits. Thank you for a lovely stay !

    Excellently sited for amenities. Clean and comfortable. Good parking for one vehicle. One drawback was a two slice toaster when 4 people staying.

  • "A really quality property in every way."

    Very very clean and beautifully presented, in a word faultless. Parking was not a problem for us but if you had 4 people staying with 2 cars you may find it could be.

  • "Our stay at Limber View was excellent the place was clean and welcoming with a drink and cake provided."

    The place was fully equiped with everything you needed. The only hic-up being parking for only one car that was not so much the issue but finding a safe place to park the second car for a week. We felt the village car park was not 100% safe being on the edge of the village. We did find a more safe place to park after speaking to the staff at the Steam Railway Station they said we could park in their carpar, no need to get a daily ticket just give a donation to the railway. One car parked safely for the week we went on to have a great holiday. Views from the house were great and the many places visited. We have been to the North Yorkshire Moors for hoildays many times but we still found places and narrow lanes, fords. In all a wonderful holiday, we would visit again.

    All facilities of a high standard, very clean and nothing lacking. Large lounge windows with splendid view across the valley. Would certainly make a return visit it holidaying again in the area.

  • "Excellent base to explore the area."

    We managed Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay, Scarborough, Sandsend, Malton, Durham, York and Helmsley in the week we were there. Well appointed holiady cottage with a great kitchen area, comfortable bedrooms/lounge and bathrooms aplenty. Grosmont is lovely too, but only thing to be wary of is if you don't like driving down narrow/twisty roads, this place probably isn't for you! If you can handle that, it's a truly wonderful place to stay. The welcome gifts from the owners (cake, milk, wine - three life essentials obviously) was also a very thoughtful touch. View from the front is also spectacular. We definitely want to explore the area more (discovered some family links on the Yorkshire/Durham borders), so when we do get back up to visit the area, would be delighted to stay here again.

  • "Limber View is a lovely well appointed cottage, well equipped, well decorated and stunning views- but with one major problem - the bed."

    The bed is described as king size but is actually a small double. Worse, it very uncomfortable and mattress is of poor quality. We had achy backs and did not sleep well - a major component of a holiday. We would love to stay in this cottage again but would not do so unless there was new mattresses. The owner did provide a single foam mattress topper for us which marginally improved things but did not mask the real problem of the mattress. Such a shame when everything else was of high quality.

  • "Limber View is beautifully appointed and very well equipped."

    It is decorated and furnished to a very high standard and it was a perfect home-from-home for us. It's in a very peaceful location and it was lovely to lie in bed and listen to the owls at night. Whilst staying in Grosmont, we visited the following locations: Falling Foss Waterfall and Tea Garden Mallyan Spout Waterfall Goathland Thirsk Whitby & Whitby Abbey Staithes Runswick Bay Robin Hood's Bay The only information that may have been helpful is where to find the nearest petrol station and supermarket. We found them easily with our mobile phones but the mobile signal and roaming internet access is not always reliable when out and about and we didn't see many petrol stations in the area.

  • "The cottage was very well equipped and had lovely views."

    Being close to the steam trains was a bonus . We did find the bed a bit too firm and missed the cushions on the kitchen benches , but these should be there now . The owner was very helpful when we needed help printing tickets for our RSPB boat trip at Bridlington , (that is to be recommended.!) We enjoyed doing alms in this beautiful part of Yorkshire .

    The cottage was very well equipped and had everything we needed plus a big thank you to the owners for the welcoming bottle of wine, cake, milk, tea and coffee. The flowers also were a lovely touch. Grosmont a good location for easy access to coast and countrside. The only disappointment was that the steam trains were not running for passengers until 17 May but we did manage to see them in action getting ready for their first trip out in many months.

    As well as enjoying fantastic weather, we have also been on some very beautiful scenic walks (copies of which we have left should any of your future guests be interested). We will definitely be taking some wonderful memories back to Dorest with us in this 'land of contrasts'! Thank you too for our very welcome complimentary gifts of milk, wine and delicious Yorkshire curt tarts. To sum up - An absolutely fantastic place to stay in every way!

  • "We have had another lovely stay at Limber View."

    Travelled very light this time as cottage is so well-equipped. Only a short say but enjoyed he walk back from Goathland Station - via the Old School House Cafe which does lovely food and cakes. Can recommend Robin Hood Bay for a lovely long walk and Whitby is a wonderful place for a wander. Lots of beautiful scenery to photograph/paint. The Station Tavern does a lovely meat pie and The Station does a good cheap and cheerful breakfast. All in all a wonderful relaxing break. Thank you for a lovely stay and the welcome package. (Magpie Cafe in Whitby does lovely fish and chips - but it does get busy!)

Once a village Sunday school and now lovingly restored and furnished to provide quality, 4 Star Gold, accommodation in the village of Grosmont, 7 miles from Whitby. An idyllic retreat, ideally situated for families or couples seeking to explore the splendours of North Yorkshire’s moors and coastline.

Stone steps lead to the front door of this pretty cottage.

An entrance hallway opens onto a sitting room with stunning valley vistas.

How wonderful it is to watch the sun go down over glorious countryside on a summer’s evening.

Comfortable seating and TV/Freeview and Blu-ray player provide entertainment after busy days outdoors. There’s an immaculate and well-equipped kitchen with granite worktops and a pleasant dining area for you to enjoy sociable meals - or simply linger a while with your morning cuppa and enjoy the morning papers and crossword!

Relax at the table and chairs, perhaps dine al fresco.

Listen out for the nostalgic sound of an heritage steam train as it whistles into Grosmont station – a great means by which to explore more lovely places, such as Pickering and Whitby. Those with an interest in railways, can visit the engine sheds at Grosmont and see the world's oldest passenger railway tunnel, built by railway pioneer George Stephenson.

There’s also a Pullman’s dining car at certain times of year which is a gastronomic delight!

Stretch your legs with a pleasant 3.5-mile saunter along the Rail Trail and follow Stephenson’s original railway line from Grosmont, via Beck Hole, to Goathland – there’s a wonderful display of bluebells every May. It’s a ten minute drive to the coast from Grosmont.

Take your pick from picturesque fishing villages such as Staithes, Robin Hood’s Bay or Runswick Bay – all of which offer excellent coastal walking opportunities.

Or head over to Whitby and wander its cobbled ‘old town’ and discover its fine maritime heritage, literary connections and iconic Abbey.

There are regular services from Grosmont on the Esk Valley Railway, to and from Whitby. Limber View is a tranquil retreat, well placed for discovering the area your way – by foot, bike or train.

About the location

GROSMONT

Whitby 5 miles.

The pretty village of Grosmont sits at the junction of the River Esk and Murk Esk in the midst of striking North Yorkshire Moors scenery. The area is characterised by its narrow roads, steep hills and scenic views over valleys of patchwork fields and wide-open expanses of moorland.

The Railway has been preserved and run by enthusiasts since 1973 and today carries upwards of 300,000 passengers a year. The village has a general store, post office, book shop, art gallery, cafes and a pub.
