Esk View Cottage

Beautiful property.

Very comfortable. Very convenient for visiting Whitby and surrounding area

We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay at Esk View Cottage.

We had everything we needed for a pleasurable stay.

Lovely little cottage In a beautiful location.

Very cosy and well kept. Parking a bit tricky but we parked at the Station as it was out of season. Would definitely stay again!

The most beautiful, relaxing place in a wonderful location.

Our second visit and booked again for next year. Peace and tranquility of the river below the balcony, the wildlife interspersed with steam trains passing by on the bridge is just perfect. The cottage is simply one of the best we have stayed in, very comfy and clean.

Absolutely lovely cottage overlooking the Esk.

We had a gorgeous 3 nights here, 1 min walk to Grosmont station and the start of the rail trail is a short wander en route to the engine sheds. Very comfortable and peaceful, we will definitely return.

Another fabulous stay and won't be the last!

Comfortable and stylish don't change a thing. Didn't move the car all week, so easy to use the train. Love everything about it. Thank you for sharing this special place.

Amazing property with everything we needed.

Very comfy and cosy. Fantastic view and we loved sitting and watching the birds on the river and the trains going past. Great location for exploring North Yorkshire. Only slight issue was the parking as the road is so narrow and was blocked by other cars a few times and we had to park elsewhere, this wouldn't stop us visiting again though.

The perfect holiday cottage.

Fully equipped with everything you need and immaculately clean throughout when we arrived, it is a beautiful, cosy cottage. Every morning we sat listening to the river and spotting wildlife before venturing out for an adventure in the Yorkshire moors. We can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely stunning cottage which we were sad to leave.

The design made the most of the Beautiful location and we loved listening to and watching the river and steam trains. Perfectly positioned for walks, tea rooms and trips on the trains.

Beautiful, warm and cosy cottage.

Our 2nd visit here, love it!

The best holiday we have ever had in this beautiful gem.

Location and facilities were just perfect for us and we loved it so much that we have rebooked for next year. Total peace and quiet apart from the steam trains that we were so excited about every time one went be. A real gem .

Beautiful, warm, cosy, clean, well equipped & comfortable cottage.

Very disappointed there was no hairdryer. Never had that happen before.

Lovely cottage.

Very well equipped and comfortable. Great location for the trains etc. parking wasn’t a problem but guess it could be. Interesting watching the river rise. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Not a complaint but hated the vacuum cleaner which just didn’t work well particularly with dog hair ! Recommend a Shark!! Hope to be back.

We had a great stay at Esk View Cottage.

Well equipped, clean, comfortable and cosy. Locals all extremely friendly. Loved the location both for its proximity to Grosmont Station and its position by the river. Details on parking could have been a lot clearer before we arrived, maybe a photo showing where to park? Would definitely return

Recently enjoyed a weeks stay at this comfortable and stylish cottage.

Everything we needed and some goodies too. Thank you for sharing, we certainly hope to be back!

A beautiful stay!

We took our two year old son who loves trains, and made memories to last forever! The noise of the river at night made for a perfect sleep, and I can’t wait to return again one day. The cottage may not look much from the outside, but it is spacious inside. Would highly recommend.

We felt that the cottage had been nicely set up but have to agree with previous reviews about the seating in the lounge area.

The leather settee and armchair seemed too big and cumbersome for the room and we found them too low and uncomfortable. The heating was not set to the temperature stated in the information pack but being familiar with hive we were able to adjust this to suit us. The parking was awkward as detailed in the description but more detail on exactly where to park would have been helpful, luckily the neighbours were very helpful and accomodating. Additionally, if the shrubbery overhanging the wall opposite were cut back it might have reduced the amount of bird mess on our car. The location was great for access to the train station both the NYMR (heritage steam railway) and Northern Line (unfortunately closed for maintenance during our stay) and in easy reach of Whitby Park and Ride (highly recommended for visiting Whitby).

We had an amazing stay here at Esk View.

The cottage was so clean, quiet and comfortable, very light and airy, and the river views and sounds were wonderful. The rocking chair in front of the patio doors overlooking the river was a highlight for the kids. We would have benefitted from a clothes airer. We did use the washer dryer but being a family of 4 in hot weather the airer would have been really useful. We also weren't really sure what to do (if anything) with the bins. We made good use of the NYMR, the cottage is literally a minutes walk from Grosmont Station, which was perfect. The parking was a little tricky but manageable, but we only used it twice during the whole week so wasn't an issue. Brilliant stay, we really didn't want to go home and would love to come back. Highly recommended. Thanks the owners and the cleaning staff who clearly look after the property so well.

It's time for the owners to replace the sofa and chair that goes with it, it's not comfortable for older guest s, They are to low.

We have been there three times in the last year, we love it there, apart from the sofa think about the older foke. Thanks Ian and Catarina.

Our third visit ….

says it all!

A beautiful cottage, would definitely stay there again and highly recommend

Very clean comfortable and homely.

Very handy for the train station and to visit Whitby.

Open fire was disappointing as seemed to have a blocked chimney and no draw so gave it up as a bad job in the end , a little unsure about carpeted bathroom but overall was a fantastic cottage and a fantastic location

Absolutely lovely accomodation and beautiful surroundings.

Only drawback was the parking wasn't great. We couldn't get our car into the allocated space as it was a very tight, up a single track road and other houses wouldn't be able to get their car passed us as it was a dead end road.

Fantastic property in a great location, easy access to the Steam trains and plenty of walks.

Try the Station Hotel for a friendly chat with the locals and the dairy farmer and try the Witching Post Inn (Egton) for fantastic food and friendly staff.

Only very minor, front door lock has to be wiggled to get the key to turn from outside

This Cottage was absolutely perfect, the location is spot on for our needs!

We fell in love with the river being right outside, the Steam trains that go just meters away across the bridge is a brilliant sight to see, Goathland walkable distance on the Rail Trail! We were there for the Steam Gala it was so enjoyable! The only suggestion I can make is maybe a bit of weeding at the front and a clean up, maybe jet wash the front of the property. That's it I cannot fault this property or the location, absolutely perfect! Thank yo

Brilliant accommodation,lovely relaxing stay!

...Will be returning..

Absolutely loved our stay - so tranquil.

We will be back.

An absolutely beautiful cottage, with everything we needed.

Loved being able to sit at the table and listen to the river - and the steam trains! Such a special place - thank you!

What can I say except Perfect Perfect Perfect even though the weather was not very kind there was plenty to do within the area,Highly recommended Valerie

A great property in a good location for us.

The beds are extremely comfortable, the kitchen is well kitted out . From a personal point of view we didn’t find the leather settee and chair very comfortable a footstool would be beneficial.

Fiona at YCC was especially helpful regarding our stay.

Thank you to her for showing real customer care.

Absolutely amazing place to stay, great area great cottage for dogs and adults as well as would be for kids with the local places to go.

Well maintained and clean.

Perfectly equipped, perfectly laid out and perfectly situated!

Lovely welcome pack!

Arrived late tea time (6:30pm) due to work commitments, the cottage was very cold and took an age to warm up, no hot water till 9:30pm. TV would not work due to ‘antenna’ not connected. Contacted Yorkshire coastal cottages Saturday morning who rectified within a few hours. The cottage is beautiful, a little tired looking and in need of a coat of paint in places, particularly downstairs, that said we had a lovely break. Lots of fabulous places to explore, the cottage is ideally located.

Beautiful cottage, lovely view over the river watching the cormorant swimming for breakfast and the flash of a kingfisher fly by also very close to the railway kids loved watching the steamers from the windows if not from the station!

Had a very minor problem with the shower which was reported and fixed within about 6 hours with no inteferance to our stay. Shop and pub nearby. Would definately consider returning probably for a little longer next time so could explore more (only had 3 night stay this time) Many thanks

Beautiful cottage looking over the river.

Peaceful setting in an interesting village. Enjoyed exploring different walks from the cottage with the dog. Ideally situated for Whitby, coastal villages and the moors. Thank you

Great discount, more affordable and the right price for the property.

Love the hamper welcome pack.

A little gem of a cottage.

This cottage was in a perfect location and clean to a high standard and with all the facilities you could need.

A home from home with a balcony view that was perfect for relaxing and watching the steam trains that go over the bridge. Fantastic walks minutes from your doorstep. We also received a welcome pack which was a lovely gesture. We cannot rate this cottage highly enough and would not hesitate to recommend.

Lovely cottage, great holiday… be nice to have a TV in the main bedroom.

We would defiantly recommend to our family and friends.

only problem with holiday was parking,absolute nightmare,not helped by bolshy residents

Lovely cottage, could see steam trains from the patio, sound of water running in the stream very peaceful.

Reported that fire detector was bleeping and battery was replaced same day. Cottage, bedding and towels lovely and clean. Very enjoyable stay. Thank you

This was an amazing place to stay.

I stayed with my four year old grandson and my husky. Gorgeous and had everything we could possibly need inside the cottage. The only thing we could’ve had that would’ve made our stay 100% was a hose outside at the tap. As the walk from grosmont to goathland has horrid black shale and due to rain and sleet my once white and grey husky was black and filthy. Outside tap was great idea shame wasn’t a hose to do his belly and legs before entering cottage. Views out the windows of the river where beautiful I would definitely stay again. So peaceful. But as it’s a dog friendly place definitely a little hose outside would be a fabulous addition. This place is amazing fantastic walks in the area.

Couldn’t fault anything.

We loved our stay there and would definitely book it again.

Overall, we were very happy with the property.

It was very nicely decorated, comfortable and clean, with a lovely river view. We really prefer an enclosed garden for our dog, but we did realise the property was without that when we booked. We found parking difficult, but again, we did know about the limitations when booking. For those two reasons only, we'll look for a different property next time we're staying in the area.

Excellent stay

The cottage was situated well in and had the local shops and pub just around the corner.

Although I can’t fault the cottage as such I wouldn’t say that it’s really suitable for a long stay as a family of 4. If you wanted to eat out a lot then it would be fine, we could have done with a few more bowls, plates, pots and pans etc. We had to buy kitchen ‘extras’ - cling film, tinfoil (which we left for the next visitors) salt and pepper etc. Maybe these things were missing due to Covid and trying to keep things safe for other people. I would go and stay at the cottage again however I think it was a little over priced.

We had a lovely stay, no issues other than a problem with the hot water and heating which turned out to be the boiler trip.

Our main criticism was that lack of any logs for the fire on arrival. For nearly £700 for 4 nights a £5 bag of logs to start off wouldn’t be much to ask! The property was well equipped but would benefit from the addition of a salt and pepper set and a toast rack The dishwasher needed rinse aid and we weren’t about to rush out and buy that! The towel rail in the bathroom didn’t work. A nice peaceful location right in the river in a lovely village, nice walks and the wonderful trains.

We had another very enjoyable stay at Esk Cottage, I marked down the cleanliness as there was a ball and some dog chews under the chair which I found after dropping my phone .

We will definitely be back again

Average property, way over priced.

Lovely location in a pleasant village!

The glazed dining area with views over the river and steam railway viaduct is really the highlight of this property. We were able to watch kingfishers at breakfast! Kitchen is well appointed, though it would be useful to have a bit more crockery (only 4No of each item provided) and more than one chopping board. Property was generally well cleaned. However there was quite a bit of dog hair on the living room carpet. Also, carpet in bathroom is never a good idea.

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.

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.

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 ?. Sam

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

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.

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

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

Very relaxing break. Loved Grosmont, felt I was stepping back in time. Visited Sandsend, Staithes and Saltburn. All well worth the trip.

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!

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.
