    "A lovely cottage which was well equipped and clean."

    The garden was a very good place to sit and relax. There is also a private parking place, which is also important. The information packs in the cottage were excellent. Grosmont is the perfect location for finding lovely walks because it is centrally placed within a walking area, having lots of National Routes nearby. The steam railway is nearby and the fact that there is also a limited national rail line going through the village as well, makes it an ideal place to stay.

    "A very clean and well equipped cottage; a lovely place to stay."

    Lots to do in the area, including visiting Whitby itself. The off-road parking was very much appreciated. The garden and decking is up a steep path without handrails and through another cottage's garden so is not ideal for small children and anyone with mobility difficulties.. The walk down to Grosmont station, although fairly short, was very steep and coming back quite a challenge.

    Thanks for your great feedback and I’m delighted that you liked the cottage and local area. We’ve tried to show the communal path and steps leading to the garden in the photos and although the cottage garden is enclosed young children will need supervision on the steps. Property Owner

    "Great location."

    Very clean and everything you could want. Lovely garden that we sat in to eat scones and cream after. The beds very comfortable and incredibly peaceful place. No issue with parking as you have your own allotted spot. Had to call owners as we had slight plumbing issue and they were very friendly and helpful and thankfully we sorted it quickly. House has lovely feel about it.

    Thank you for your fabulous feedback and so glad that you had a good time. Thanks for your note regarding the dishwasher. We managed to get it replaced with a new one just in time for our next guests. Property Owner

    "The cottage was very well equipped, comfortable and clean."

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found it a lovely base to return to after our walks and especially after climbing up the hill! It is ideally located for exploring the area. There was plenty of information in the cottage which was useful however some information on where to buy logs locally would have been helpful. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage.

    Delighted that you enjoyed your stay and thank you for your note regarding logs. This is an oversight on my part and I will add some suggestions to the information pack. Property Owner

    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.

    "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.

GROSMONT

Whitby 5 miles.

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.
