On the ground floor you enter into the spacious and well-equipped kitchen adjoining the dining room. Where you can enjoy meals together.
Up on the first floor you have the living room, enjoying views out across the river from the glass double doors leading out onto the balcony. A blissful spot for taking in the beautiful surroundings, you can even watch the steam train passing by as it puffs its way into Whitby. On this floor you also have a single bedroom complete with a dressing table as well as a shower room. Up on the second floor there are another two bedrooms, a master king bedroom bathed in light from large Velux windows. The king bedroom has wardrobes for your belongings as well as a dressing table.
There is also a twin bedroom with beautiful river views. The property is completed with the bathroom, where you can relax beneath the bubbles whilst looking out of the Velux window up to the towering viaduct where the cinder track passes overhead.
The river is home to a variety of wildlife, where herons fish for salmon, seals sometimes bask on the bank, and the friendly resident ducks often wait on the doorstep hoping to be fed. In this peaceful location you can launch your own paddleboards or kayaks, taking in the scenery from the water. Or even bring your own fishing rod to go fishing.
For children there are two play areas as well as communal landscaped grounds to play on, with picnic benches where you can soak up the sunshine. For those walkers and cyclists amongst you, this property is the perfect place situated right next to the famous Cinder Track; the old railway line that runs over 20 miles between Scarborough and Whitby. After 80 years of service, the line closed in 1965, leaving a wonderful off-road route for cyclists and walkers.

Wonderful holiday home, set in a beautiful place surrounded by amazing wildlife and alongside the river Esk. We fed the ducks every morning which amazed my grandson, even though it felt quite remote it’s only a short ride into Whitby for shopping and fish and chips. I would definitely book this holiday home again as it was so warm and comfortable, 4 nights didn’t seem long enough.

The house was so warm and cosy.
The house was so warm and cosy. We really enjoyed our stay there and was well accommodated. There were tea, coffee ect on arrival with all the essentials you need. We went as a family with our 2 year old grandaughter she loved feeding the ducks every morning. The views and location are fab with only about a 15 min walk into whitby via the vioduct. We definitely want to return.

We had a nice week however we spent money on purchasing fishing equipment.
We had a nice week however we spent money on purchasing fishing equipment. We was so excited to go fishing outside the cottage on the river Esk but there was a sign to say No fishing by law. Maybe the cottage needs to update the advert.The cottage was beautiful and I don’t like to complain but just a couple of points that’s I did leave a note for the cleaner was the oven needed a clean and there was an issue with slugs each morning in the kitchen. I understand how remote the cottage is and this was probably the issue.
