“Overall we found Preacher's Rest to be a comfortable, clean and well-appointed rental property that suited us as a family of two adults and two children.”
The property had everything we needed for our stay and it was kind of the owners to leave us some fresh milk and a cake to welcome us. It is a fascinating property, being the rear part of a converted chapel, and Grosmont is a quiet little moors village, with a station on the heritage North York Moors railway. It is well located for hiking and exploring the Moors and very close to the towns of Whitby and Pickering. We did not have any issues with wi-fi reception apart from in the single bedded room, where it was patchy. The open plan top floor, featuring kitchen, dining and living area, is airy, light, warm and welcoming and the star of the show. The twin bedded and single bedded bedroom are small, but this can be noted from photos. In terms of room for improvement we can not fault very much, just the following: we found the mattresses to be a bit uncomfortable; the en-suite to the twin bedded room has an unpleasant smell (possibly a drainage issue); with no access to an airing cupboard and no heated towel rail in the property then it meant towels stayed very wet during our visit. Even though we visited in the height of Summer, the bedrooms remained quite cold while the upstairs living area was very warm indeed. Overall we had a very pleasant stay in this comfortable and well apppointed accommodation in a lovely location in the North York Moors.
