The property is in a great location in the beautiful village of Ruswarp. We enjoyed the quiet of the location compared to the hustle and bustle of Whitby, and having the option to get a two minute train into Whitby, walk down the Esk river to the harbour or taking the woodland path.The cottage is lovely, it had everything we needed and we had good communication from Laura throughout. There is a great butchers less than a minute down the road and local amenities.

Hi Kevin Thank you for your feedback. We are unsure what you mean by 'updating'? Eskmoor cottage is a Grade 2 listed building with many original features, most visitors think this is a plus point of the property and say it is excellent value for money, we haven't had any complaints about this before and have been renting the property out for over 14 years now with quite a number of repeat bookings. Kind regards Peter & Laura

The garden was in need of maintenance, it was difficult to access because of an overgrown holly bush all the way up the path. The hob was very rusty and didn’t get hot enough to cook on. We didn’t find a dryer, just the washing machine. The property just needed some TLC, it was in a lovely friendly village, the parking was difficult but that’s something that can’t be solved.

Hi We are sorry about the problems you have encountered. The gardener has usually been to do any gardening including a severe cut back of the holly bush but it has been delayed due to bad weather. As far as the hob is concerned we have never had any problem with it with the instructions provided. There isn’t a dryer but there is a clothes airer in the bathroom. Kind regards
