This delightful stone cottage with a lovely garden located on the outskirts of a picturesque village above the Esk Valley. With the surrounding natural splendour, this is the perfect holiday home for a couple or family of outdoor enthusiasts.The nearby village of Grosmont is popular with tourists who come to admire the historic train station (0.5miles) and steam trains. Vintage enthusiasts should take a ride on the heritage line of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. Or grab one of the modern trains which regularly connect Grosmont with Middlesbrough (28 miles) and the seaside town of Whitby (7 miles). If you’d rather explore the local area under your own power, discover the many walking and cycling trails of the beautiful North York Moors National Park.

The pretty stone cottage is home to comfortable rooms and beautiful grounds. A couple of rough steps lead up to the front door, which opens onto a small hallway. The downstairs rooms feature ceilings crossed with atmospheric wooden beams, smartly painted black and white. The inviting living room has a large leather corner sofa and a beautiful rocking chair set in front of a wood burner. Next door, the bright farmhouse kitchen includes a dining area with a solid wooden table and is well equipped. Upstairs you’ll find a bathroom with bath and shower over the bath and two bedrooms - one double, one twin - each with a charmingly sloped ceiling and windows looking out into the lovely garden.

The large garden has a good-sized lawn, rustic stone walls, paths and rockeries and a seating area shaded by trees. It's ideal for playing games, relaxing in the sun and eating al fresco. Secure storage for multiple bikes makes this an excellent base for cyclists.

All would have been 5 but our bed and settee was very uncomfortable and made sleeping difficult. Other than that the whole holiday and cottage was wonderful

Great holiday cottage has everything, good local walks and train ride, our grandson loved them. Wood burner topped the holiday off. Thanks very much

We were thrilled that the cottage was warm and decorated for Christmas. It was so thoughtful to have teabag's and milk, so welcoming (and logs). We appreciated all those things. We loved our walk on Runswick Bay and our visit to Castle Howard which is spectacular. The views even from the cottage are amazing. We had a wonderful week. Thank you.

This is a great location for people with many interests - walking, steam trains, shopping in lovely small market towns, seaside scenery etc. Never short of things to do and eating out is a joy. Our second stay here and it's a very reasonable price in comparison to many others in this area. Thank you owners for providing lovely accommodation.

The property looked great in the photos but appeared smaller in reality. It was, however, very warm and comfortable. In terms of facilities we would normally book somewhere with a washing machine and dishwasher so that was a bit of a miss. The description referred to on road parking but parking on the road right outside the house wasnt possible at Read morethat location. It would have been helpful to have had a bit more information about where guests are best to park. We didnt want to take the regular spot of a full time resident and ended up parking on the sloped verge nearby. Also, the garden isnt immediately outside the house and is not the one visible from the property. This didnt affect us as we wouldnt have let our children play unsupervised or tied our dog up but it would have been useful to know in advance. The location was ideal. That was the main selling point for us. Hide

Everything was very good but a downstairs toilet would make the property excellent for us. Maybe a toilet with a macerater could be installed either under the stairs or in part of the kitchen. The TV stations are poor and we noted the difficulty with the mast.

Another lovely stay in this cosy cottage. Lovely and warm on days we stayed in. Visited Falling Foss and had a short stroll in the woods and a lovely scone and coffee at the tea rooms. Great crab sandwiches at The Hart Inn, Sandsend. Another lovely relaxing week to recharge the batteries.

A lovely week spent in a very comfortable, well equipped cottage. Walked along the rail trail and visited the waterfalls in Goathland along with visits to Thornton-le-dale and Whitby. A roughly 90 minute drive but can recommend a trip to Beamish if you wish to travel back in time.

We had a great holiday and the property was lovely. It would have been useful to have known that the garden was shared and not directly outside the property. A washing machine would be a useful addition to the property as well as a kitchen cleaning spray.
