Overview
Property code: OC-WA060

This cosy cottage for five is situated in the centre of the pretty village of Grosmont, at the heart of the picturesque North York Moors, yet only 7 miles to the coast. The cottage offers great views of the Grosmont Station and the passing steam trains. Enjoy dinner by the warmth of the wood burner or head outside to the patio and spark up the BBQ.

Enter from the patio and come into the kitchen. This galley-style space has everything needed to cook up delicious Yorkshire meals which can be enjoyed in the dining room next to the wood burner. There’s also a utility cupboard under the stairs here. Settle down in the lounge after dinner and rest on either of the three-seater sofas and watch a DVD on the TV or watch the steam trains go by. The first floor houses all the bedrooms comprising two doubles (one has limited access to one side of the bed) and a bunk bed. All three rooms share the family bathroom and there is a separate WC. Outside, the enclosed patio has bench seating and a BBQ, perfect for al fresco dinners.

Grosmont is a popular tourist destination, famous for its heritage line with connections to Whitby (7 miles) and Pickering (17 miles) and the beautiful main Esk Valley railway line between Middlesbrough and Whitby. There are also various independent shops in Grosmont where you can pick up a souvenir or gift and even an art gallery where you can admire the work of local Yorkshire artists such as Robert Brindley and Ailsa Nicholson. The North York Moors National Park offers fantastic opportunities for walking and cycling, and the historic town of Whitby has a beautiful sandy beach and many tourist attractions, such as Whitby Abbey, the 199 steps, the Church of St Mary, Whitby Swing Bridge and a great choice of boutique shops, tearooms and restaurants.

The cottage has had an internal make over which has really made it very pleasant, including a new cooker and carpets. It is a great location to base your self, park up the car and travel by historical transport.

Four of us plus our dog had a lovely three night break in this property over the August bank holiday weekend. The main reason for choosing this accommodation was its proximity to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and as far as that goes, well you couldnt get any closer! Watching the activity on the station and the locomotives passing by was a reaRead morel highlight. The cottage itself was spacious, well-equipped and comfortable. Lots of railwayana dotted about the place which is a nice touch. We had an issue midway through our stay with the hot water but this was quickly resolved. We would definitely return. Hide

Fabulous location, great for families and dogs. Lovely property but It is in need of a deep clean. We are not clean freaks by any stretch of the imagination (3kids and dog!!) but as the stay went on we noticed more and more dust and dirt which has clearly been there a long time. Weve paid less for other properties which have been cleaner and also bRead moreeen left with basics such as washing up liquid. Also needs a pair of scissors and the first aid kit was years out of date and no plasters. However this did not ruin our stay. Hide

Great location for a peaceful family holiday before Christmas. The kids loved the Santa special train ride over the weekend. We're already booked in again for next year

Loved the cottage, the proximity to the station meant we had a front row seat to see the steam trains. Not noisy at all which I was worried about. Beautiful surroundings, like stepping back in time. Ver cosy and comfortable. Would have loved a dishwasher but really everything was just perfect. Wil be returning.

Outstanding place. Our only feedback points are 1) advertised that on street parking was on first come first served basis - the only on street parking was 30 mins. The pay and display was 5 per day which we ended up using. 2) we expected a welcome pack as per the photo, both looking forward to a cup of tea on arrival however nothing there, so it Read morewas a good job the shop was close by and open.

The quality of the accommodation was superb but I have given only 4 star for equipment as it would be helpful, as there was no welcome pack provided, to have some basics provided such as - washing up liquid, scouring sponge, bleach, bin bags, kitchen rolls and more than one toilet roll etc... Apart from this the accommodation is highly recommendedRead more. Hide
