The cottage is decorated beautifully and felt very homely. This place has everything to offer and more. Only a short walk into Whitby. Local pub with great food. I will definitely be returning next year and recommending to people I know.

Very clean and comfortable, had everything we needed. Lovely welcome pack & owners popped by to make sure we were happy with everything. Friendly pub nearby serving good food.

"We really enjoyed our stay here."
The owners have thought of everything and even personally welcomed us when we arrived. There’s a lovely pub close by and we bought bacon and sausage sandwiches from the local butcher. They were delicious. The weather was kind to us and we walked into Whitby 4 times along the side of the railway track. There’s a lovely back garden which attracts the ducks. I can recommend this holiday property. You won’t be disappointed.
Thank you Sylvia and we are really glad you enjoyed your stay. We try to make our guests' experience as good as possible , hopefully we'll welcome you back one day. best wishes Helen and Nick Property Owner

"We have had a wonderful holiday at your lovely cottage."
The location is perfect, immaculately clean and so comfy and relaxing. The property has everything you could wish for and more. We really enjoyed the welcome pack which was a nice surprise, thank you. Our granddaughter loved feeding the ducks which made an appearance every day. Helen met us at the property and gave us lots of local knowledge which was much appreciated. We will definitely be back.

Awesome location, great pub almost on the doorstep, and Jacksons the butchers are defo the best (great recommendation from the owners! Thanks). It was fab to hear the steam train going past throughout the day too. Homestly, would give 10 stars if I could... Great place! Will defo be going back!

"We have just had a wonderful stay!"
The cottage was perfect for our stay. The decoration is beautiful, the whole cottage is very well equipped to a high standard and the welcome tray is a lovely bonus. All the little extras helped make the week so much easier. With a very young family, the garden was perfect and the passing trains and visiting ducks provided lots of entertainment. The cottage is located brilliantly for easy exploring of the local area. The owners are very helpful and couldn’t have done any more. We will be returning again.
Hi Claire we are so happy you enjoyed your stay and we hope to welcome you again in the future. Helen and Nick Property Owner

"Gorgeous cottage in a quiet neighbourhood and well positioned."
Cottage was immaculate, modern and felt like home from home. The hosts had thought of everything (and we have stayed in lots of holiday lets over the years). Nick met us at the cottage to welcome us in and I had great communication with Helen too. We were made to feel very welcome at the Bridge Inn (literally 1 min walk away!) by Sarah - fabulous little pub with great home cooked food and dog friendly. Sandsend is lovely to visit (dog friendly beach) as well as pretty Whitby. Would recommend Wits End cafe for a bite to eat. Bonus that the cottage is so near the train station too. Lots of steam engine spotting and pretty walks by the viaduct. Thank you for a brilliant stay!
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We're utterly delighted you had such a good holiday and enjoyed Esk Side Cottage. We love it when we get 5-star reviews! We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Property Owner

"This is a fantastic cottage in a lovely village and the welcome we received from the owners was above and beyond what had been expected."
The property is kitted out to a very high standard and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. It is in an ideal location for the local pub (lovely food) and also a steady 20-30 minute walk into Whitby. I very much look forward to visiting again in the future.

Ruswarp is a quiet village with lots to do – a short walk along the river you can hire boats or kayaks, there is a soft-play area nearby for younger children and there is a lovely riverside café and restaurant.
The pretty seaside town of Whitby is within easy reach – either a short drive by car or there is a nearby bus-stop.
Alternatively there is a flat, easy walk of about 20 minutes alongside the nearby railway line – which in itself provides an opportunity to see steam trains along the North York Moors Railway.
Whitby offers many attractions – a stroll down historic cobbled streets, a scenic walk up the 199 steps to the atmospheric ruins of Whitby Abbey, try the Dracula Experience or enjoy a walk around the harbour.
A visit to Whitby is not complete without trying one of the many fish and chip eateries that Whitby is famous for.
Visit Whitby Museum for a deeper insight into the town's rich history or enjoy beachcombing under the brightly-coloured Whitby Beach Huts.
Only slightly further afield are the majestic North Yorkshire moors, seaside villages such as Robin Hoods Bay and the traditional British seaside attractions of bustling Scarborough.
Esk Side Cottage provides the perfect base to explore and enjoy an unforgettable visit to the North Yorkshire coast.
