  • "A stunning little cottage with the most amazing view of the balcony of the river and steam trains passing by!"

    (Even caught a glimpse of a herd of deer, lots of stoats and plenty of birds!) The cottage was clean, well layed out, spacious and well equip! We cannot thank you enough for creating this beautiful space for people to stay in! We loved the small touches like the welcome hamper of biscuits and crisps and my partner and I couldn’t stop using the lazy boy sofa ! The kitchen has everything you need and more. The local area is also beautiful. A 30 second walk to Grosmont station and a local pub and a stunning hours hike to Goathland which we did 2 days in a row! Highly recommend the inn on the moor. Reasonably priced and gorgeous food! The beds are a little hard to sleep on but other than that everything was so perfect. We have already recommended to so many friends and family and will absolutely be returning! (Could also do with a pen to write in the guest book) Thank you again!

    Thank you for your lovely feedback and I am glad you enjoyed your stay. Comment about the lack of a pen has been noted ! Property Owner

  • "The main double bed is unfortunately uneven and we were rolling downhill both nights."

    The main issue for us is the lack of hot water. One bath and all supplies used up. This is an immersion heater set up and there is limited hot water. Would be an issue if 4 people all fancied a bath / shower within a short space of time. Nice local shop sells cheap logs / kindling supplies. No pets is great, no doggy smells like in other cottages we’ve booked previously.

    Thank you for your feedback, your comments have been noted. Property Owner

  • "A lovely family break in a village that had woodland and countryside walks on the doorstep and beaches only a few miles away."

    Really enjoyed the view over the river and spotting Kingfishers, cormorants and dippers whilst we had breakfast. A compact but well laid out cottage with easy access to the village shop, steam trains, local walks. We hadn't spotted that there was no washing machine but this was no big deal. Everything worked as it should. Would quite happily return in the future.

  • "So central but quiet location."

    Ideal for us as we used train every day. Nice to relax on balcony with river running by

  • "The cottage was everything we wanted and it was great having the electrical recharge as well, although the railway was so close that we used the trains more."

    The facilities were as described and we had enough of everything. Thank you for the welcome treats. Parking is a little awkward, we would recommend that you suggest driving down and reversing back in your instructions. As any car driver would have to reverse one way or the other it's only a minor change.

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. Grosmont itself lies in the ‘Heartbeat Country’ and is famous for being the home of the North York Moors Steam Railway. 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. It makes a great base for exploring the many pretty farming villages along the Esk Valley and the wider North York Moors National Park, as well as the North Yorkshire Coastline with characterful harbour towns and villages.
