Lovely peace and quiet. I visited once before in 2012 with the previous owners and this stay was exactly how I remember. Quiet. Peaceful, lovely hosts who let us do our own thing and were available if we needed it. Comfortable stay - best sleep of my life 10/10 we will be coming again!

Perfect!

Fabulous base for what we wanted from our holiday. Walks inland & coastal, beautiful scenery, steam trains were breathtaking… The property was immaculate, welcoming & exceeded expectations. We will definitely return, a credit to the owners.

Away from it all, except the trains

Very welcoming host. Lovely clean apartment, right at the side of the train track, a short walk away is Grosmont station. A couple of nice walks also without having to use the car, the one to Beck Hole particularly nice.

This was good but could have been so much better

This was an expensive hire so it should have been excellent in all respects. The internal accommodation was pretty good (except for noisy heating system which the owner failed to solve), but the stay suffered from both a lack of any external private sitting space and a difficult parking area and egress.

Unsuitable

Booked in for a week, stayed one night. Totally unsuitable for electric wheelchair. No grab rails. Stones that the wheelchair kept getting stuck in. Sofa to low for wheelchair user to sit on. Also down a very steep embankment.

Clean and comfortable.

Clean and comfortable. Good location. Property heating kept the cottage warm. Note that parking is down a small steep slope, but level with the property.

Ideal for train spotting

This cottage was in a great location in Grosmont and if you opened the curtains the steam trains ran alongside the property. We were not bothered by noise but rather fascinated by them. There were great walks in a beautiful area - the best was to Goathland of Harry Potter and Aidensfield fame. The only negatives were that we didn't learn how to control the heating in the bathroom and there was a pervasive smell of damp in the kitchen though we stress this didn't impact on the main living area and the bedroom which were ideal. We are sure the owners will address the damp issue and other than that we would recommend the place as we had a lovely break there.
