The situation overlooking the river with its wildlife, plus the steam trains in the quaint village was exceptional. Our only negative comments concerning the cottage were the lack of any drying equipment (hairdryer, fan heater), and lack of any microwave suitable containers. Also, the reversing of our car down the narrow lane was a challenge - hence 'Facilities' rating above. Also ,no mention of bedding or towels in listing - hence 'Accuracy' rating above. The surrounding countryside was fantastic - will definitely come to this area again. All in all, a wonderful getaway from the current difficult world.

The cottage and everything was lovely exactly what we wanted quiet and relaxing ..only thing was wasnt sure whether we were allowed to park outside the cottage..and I couldnt find any info xx perhaps I missed it but a note on the cottage ?.

Super holiday cottage in a lovely position overlooking the river. Very well equipped and comfortable. Lots of lovely walks and amazing countryside.
Quiet village though so if you're after a choice of cafes, restaurants and takeaways you'll need to go further afield.
Mrs Smith
Dont want to nit pick as we had a lovely time and enjoyed staying in the cottage but there was a large noticeable cobweb on the chandelier light fitting. Otherwise lovely. Would have been useful to have some. information on the locality/walks/places of interest
Mrs Stevens
Parking and access is not mentioned but is not easy. Don’t bring a big car or attempt to park close if you are not confident at reversing. There is also a very rude man at no.11 who does not help and seems to dislike visitors. The helpful neighbours next door told us we could use the NYMR car park overnight but strictly speaking we shouldn’t have. Access is not great on foot from the Main Street if you are not steady on your feet and I wouldn’t recommend to anyone who isn’t. The promised welcome pack was not provided.
But...the house is very comfortable and the position overlooking the river really good, also excellent for train spotters! Overall would recommend but perhaps a more full description of access would be helpful.

If the house is ever for sale - let us know.
The location was wonderful; walks with the dog in every direction, character village and even pub over the road!
Wonderful place to relax and we will re book.
Mrs Jorgensen
This holiday cottage was lovely, and the host even gave us a lovely little welcome pack - which we were not expecting.
The place was clean and tidy, beds were comfy and the description was very accurate.
The only down side was that we were expecting a fully working jacuzzi bath but this did not work - or we could not work out how to use it.
I would recommend this as a place to stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday - found the cottage delightful , full of character , very relaxing & very well equipped . Location superb - loved the river views , steam railway , walks from the cottage k local cafes
Our party comprised 2 elderly & 1 middle aged so the only drawback for us was that we found the settee too low & uncomfortable .Availability of higher/ easier to get in & out of armchairs with greater back support would have made the experience complete perfection for us . The beds were bliss - so comfortable . Thank you very much for enabling us y

Lovely long weekend break. Great view over the river and spent time bird spotting from the window seating. We went to Whitby on the steam train and walked along the 'Rail Trail' from Grosmont to Goathland. As for the cottage, don't change a thing! Everything we would need for a break away in the country. Well done to the owners. Fantastic place to stay and I hope it brings you much joy. Hope to stay again!

Great cottage in a good location! Lots of trips on the steam trains. Good view of the Tour de Yorkshire in Whitby and Grosmont.

Lovely seating area with doors opening to the River Esk. Wonderful trip to Whitby by train. Had wonderful food at Postgate in Egton. A lovely bath too! Thank you to the owners for all their efforts!
Pam and Tony
Lovely week with fantastic weather. Cottage everything we could ask for. Enjoyed watching the steam trains over the bridge. Loved feeding the birds on the bird table, even saw a Kingfisher. Can recommend the Rail trail from Goathland to Grosmont even saw some deer. Loads of lovely places to eat locally in particular 'The Fox and Rabbit' on the Whitby to Pickering Road. Will definitely be back thanks for making our stay comfortable.

Well....we finally found this wonderful diamond - a place to switch off. There is nothing negative for us to say regarding the cottage. What is not to love? It has been a sheer joy waving at the train travellers, walking around the village and catching the steam train to Pickering. We will 100% come back. Thank you.
Tracey and Craig Chaplin
Very relaxing break. Loved Grosmont, felt I was stepping back in time. Visited Sandsend, Staithes and Saltburn. All well worth the trip.
Pamela and Stephen
We have just arrived at the cottage and what can we say...WOW it is beautiful. You have made it so warm and welcoming. ....... We have had such a lovely time, thank you for everything you did to make our weekend very special
