  • "Superb cottage in gorgeous countryside."

    Everyone in our party agreed this was the best cottage we’ve stayed in for comfort and facilities. The owners/hosts seemed to have thought of everything. We picked the Maybeck walk from the comprehensive collection of local walks provided and had a fantastic autumn walk through the woods. Would definitely book again.

    Glad you enjoyed the Maybeck walk and delighted with your great feedback regarding the cottage. Thank you for booking and hopefully you’ll return again soon. Property Owner

  • "My wife and I enjoyed 2 weeks at The Old Sweet Shop."

    Situated in Grosmont, it is the perfect location to explore the Yorkshire Moors, Whitby, Pickering, Scarborough plus lots of quaint villages and seaside towns. There are also some superb walks such as the Cinder Track. The cottage was cleaned to a high standard. The kitchen is very well equipped and the furniture in all rooms is good quality. Although local traffic drives past the cottage, it’s a quiet location and silent at night. We felt very relaxed and ‘at home!’ Would definitely recommend staying at The Old Sweet Shop!

    Thank you for your fabulous positive feedback and for recommending the cottage. I will pass on your comments regarding the cleanliness to our house keeper. Great to hear that you had a relaxing holiday and managed to explore the local area. Property Owner

  • "A charming cottage, full of character and in a peaceful setting."

    We stayed here as an extended family of 5 (4 adults and a teenager), using it as a base for walking the Cleveland Way and cycling in nearby Dalby Forest, and the cottage had ample space and comfort for us all. Can highly recommend the Witching Post Inn in Egton and Eskdale Fisheries in Sleights for evening meals, however the cottage has everything if you also want to cook and eat in (we didn't!). Already planning dates when we can come back.

    Thanks for your great feedback. Delighted that you enjoyed your stay at The Old Sweet Shop and hope you manage to return soon. Property Owner

    And a special thanks to Mari the housekeeper. She found £100 that my mum had lost and called us to let us know so that we could go back and retrieve it.

    Well equipped and lovely quiet area. Useful having a private parking area and the outside storage was a bonus for storing the bikes. The garden was good to, to just sit and have a brew. Everything we needed for a short break.

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.
