Wychwood

A great little property, in a great little friendly village

The spaciousness of the cottage was ideal for three adults and a dog.

It is a quiet spot in a quiet place, it was very relaxing. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was very good, everything you could possibly need, and a welcome pack was a very nice touch. The bathroom was clean apart from some mould on the sealant around the bath. The boot room smelt damp and one wall clearly had mould. The furniture in the lounge was not up to expectations. A touch of paint inside and out would help. Grosmont has a friendly and well stocked village shop. The pub is good for beer and food. The Crossing Club is friendly and open to non-members. At Sleights, a short drive away is an excellent chippy, a top class butchers, and a great bakers. Some lovely seaside resorts are within easy reach. There are plenty of local walks, nice pubs, and two railways. Driving on well surfaced roads in lovely scenery and little traffic made getting about a pleasure. Local people are welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed our stay in this comfortable cottage and would be happy to return.

Nice quiet location but only round the corner from Grosmont station & the station tavern, that did good food.

House well appointed with all essentials provided. Low water pressure on the shower but a note to explain it's a low pressure area. It does need to be on ecco setting though as on high it alternates between very hot & very cold so needs some attention. Overall accommodation is as listed & the enclosed garden area was good for our dog..

To remote was dead, windows needed a clean, like many other properties it had notes asking holiday maker to do part of service teams job, eg strip beds, collate towels etc.

location was excellent and quaint setting.

A cosy, welcoming cottage.

The welcome hamper was appreciated and enjoyed. Well equipped kitchen. Well maintained garden area. The log fire was certainly needed as it was cold at times with the heating set at 17.5 degrees. Had to keep boosting it. The sofa and single chair despite being comfy needed a good clean. It was very grubby. It was not the one pictured. Some of the upstairs bedroom pillowcases were stained. Location was excellent. 2 min walk from the local pub. It was peaceful and perfect for a much needed weekend away.

This is second or third visit to Wychwood.

The Cottage was spotlessly clean and has all the fascilities needed. The double downstairs ded is very comfy and will guarantee you a good nights sleep.Overall the cottage is in a perfect location. and a great Hub for local attractions. The Thing i picked up on that could do with improvement is new downstairs bedroom curtains. The shower was not brilliant but that is down to water pressure. We will return.

What an absolutely fantastic cottage tucked away in the beautiful Grosmont with everything you could have wished for.

For my early morning walks with Foley to the peace and quiet for Jax to have a well earned lye in whilst we explored. The cottage to us was so well presented and equipped it made us feel at home straight away. The walks views trains the whole holiday has been amazing

Had a lovely stay at Wychwood.

Please note I know others have commented but the hot water is Dangerously hot and not appropriate for children to wash their hands unsupported. You need to fill the sink with cold then hot to wash your hands. There are notices telling you it’s hot be please be careful with children. The kitchen has everything you will need to cook a lovely meal enough crockery and pans etc. The settees are low so if you have reduced mobility and or tall difficult to get out of as low, there is no longer a leather settee as shown on web page. Towels are great in size and plentiful. The proprietors left some lovely arrival gifts milk. Crisps, wine and cake. The dog friendly pub is great we were fortunate with weather and managed a pint or two after walks sat outside. Wednesday evening we eat there and great value 2 X chicken parmo meals for £25. No starter or sweet required ensure your hungry before going perhaps skip lunch that day. We enjoyed our yearly walk from goathland back to Grosmont on the old railway track calling in at beck hole to an old small public house there! Lovely cottage in a great village.

We had a lovely stay at Wychwood.

It had everything you'd need for a comfortable stay away. The location was great for us to visit the areas we'd planned, so 25 mins drive to all was ideal. The Station Tavern was just on the corner, so after a long walk, it was definitely on our stop. Would recommend booking wychwood, we would again when visiting Grosmont.

Nice cosy old cottage but with plenty of space to relax.

Ideally locally in friendly village centre with various attractive walks from the village and with short drives onto the Moors or numerous coastal attractions plus steam train rides to Pickering and Whitby.

We had really lovely stay at Wychwood.

So close to the amazing steam railway which was a bonus. My little dogs enjoyed the enclosed garden where we could sit and enjoy a coffee or meal. The house was a good size, comfortable and provided everything that you need.

We loved the property.

Was perfect for what we wanted. We used it as a base to go on the Pullman Dining train. The weather was lovely so we used the garden. It had everything we required and the welcome gifts were a nice touch.

We had a lovely week stay at Wychwood Cottage, although we had an issue with the oven on our first evening but this was quickly rectified by the owners maintenance chap.

Although it was June it seemed quite chilly in the downstairs bedroom and we think the very established creeper planting on the outside walls of the cottage could do with being cut back a bit as it appears overgrown and restricts daylight into rooms. Just a 5 minute walk from Grosmont Station so could hear and see the steam trains coming and going along the NYMR was a bonus!!

Had a lovely stay location fab would of liked more than one bath towel per person if possible but the towel was very good quality

Unfortunately due to both myself and my husband being allergic to dogs we had a slight reaction, sneezing and watery eyes.

future bookings must be made for cottages that dont take pets. The cottage was gorgeous in a beautiful village that we have visited many times. We wanted to spend time together, go for walks, my husband was able to work the log burner so he was happy, pop to the pub things like that, and we were able to do all of those things. we had a slight issue with the bedroom being downstairs and the loo being upstairs, a couple of times toes were caught on furniture, but as i said the cottage was gorgeous with everything that you needed.

Amazing cottage, beautiful location.

Just be careful with the hot water in the kitchen

Really warm, cosy cottage and generally very comfortable, including the bed (often disappointing in holiday cottages).

The owner, Danielle, was incredibly helpful when we needed her and there was a really lovely welcome pack on our arrival, as well as tea and coffee. The local pub and shop were friendly and there are some lovely walks from the cottage door. The only issue is that the hot water is scaldingly hot so needs caution!

We booked Wychwood for a weeks stay in Grosmont and luckily we had some great - although cold - weather.

The property benefits massively from its own parking space and if you know the village then this is a massive plus point. Overall well equipped cottage and we were very happy with our stay and the welcome box of goodies was really appreciated. We found the kitchen well equipped to do whatever you need to do and all the appliances worked well I found the log burner a challenge to keep lit - mastered it towards the end of our stay tho and it kept the lounge really warm and cosy. The bedroom downstairs was the only one we used and found the mattress super comfy ! No issues at all getting a good nights sleep after days out walking. There are plenty of walks direct from the property - for a short one would recommend waking the old Toll Road (Barnards Rd) into Egton where you can get food and drink a plenty! It’s also a couple of mins walk to the local pub The Station Tavern who serve excellent food and proper ales - try the Parmo !! The village co-op is also right on the level crossing and stocks pretty much everything and you can withdrawn cash from the Post Office inside when it is open. Further afield it’s a relatively easy walk on the old railway track bed to Beck Hole or Goathland. Do check opening times of the Birch Hall Inn at Beck Hole if you plan this - and it’s cash only. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable stay in a brilliant former iron workers cottage which is well appointed well equipped and clean and tidy. If you do have any issues then the owners are quick to respond either by text or call. There is no wonder it is rarely available ! We will be back !! Thanks again Mark, Di and Oscar the retriever.

This is a beautiful cottage nestled in the heart of Grosmont.

Great location, very warm and comfortable! We intend to return at some point and recommend this property as a lovely place to stay! There was a power cut one evening which meant we were without Central Heating for one late night, however, the owner came the following day and restored the heating promptly. All in all, a very nice stay and would recommend definitely!

This is a wonderful cottage, and we had a superb time at Wychwood.

In the kitchen there is everything that you could possibly need, and the property was clean and very cosy. The welcome basket was a nice surprise! We would definitely like to return. The home made preserves option was also a nice surprise, and very reasonably priced (use the 'honesty' box if you are using the preserves!) Hope to be back next year!

Very comfortable, clean and warm cottage in an outstanding location.

Plenty of walks directly from the door, friendly village, with a very well stocked shop. A very generous welcome package was supplied and the owners were friendly and helpful, with a rapid response to minor issue with one of the ovens and ensuring we were ok after a power cut. This meant them travelling from a nearby village to reset the central heating. Would definitely return if we were to return to the area.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Wychwood.

The location was perfect as we could travel there by train and enjoys walks from the door so no need for a car. The cottage was well equipped, cosy and comfortable. The welcome pack was very generous and much appreciated. Thank you.

The hot water was dangerously to hot shower was only used 1 the next 2 times we went to use it went to perfect to burning hot to ice cold with 2 people staying with limited mobility couldn't use the shower small bedroom felt damp and came away with a sore throat we've stayed in other cottages but unfortunately won't be returning to this one

A fantastic little cottage.

Located in Grosmont, parked up the car and let the train do the work... Lovely walks close by and a lovely pub on the doorstep .. Enjoyed the days out and came home to sit infront of a log burner... Will be returning again in the future

A very comfortable, well equipped cottage.

Generous welcome box provided in the spacious family kitchen on arrival. A small garden at the front of the cottage provides a shady place to sit and there is a larger, dog friendly, garden along a small lane. Great location in the village of Grosmont providing a base for exploring the North York moors and places such as Robin Hood’s Bay, Staithes and Pickering. Whitby is easily accessible by road or by train from the station at Grosmont and there are lots of local walks to explore. A steam train service also operates as part of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. Highly recommended.

Cute little cottage in the heart of the North Yorkshire Moors.

We had a lovely week here with the children and dog. Everything had been thought about including a towel for the dog! Very well equipped kitchen. We were also blessed with hot weather but the entrance porch would be useful if it was a wet week! I’m sure we will be back to stay here again!

Lovely comfy cottage.

It took us a day or so to realise that we had a proper garden to use - it's not in the instructions. Only from reading the guest book comments.

Stayed at Wychwood for 4 nights at the end of June 2024 and what a wonderful little cottage it is, extremely cosy.

On arrival we were greeted with a welcome pack which included wine, biscuits, and cake which was a lovely gesture. The cottage was very clean throughout and had all the amenities we needed. The log burner in the living room was not used by ourselves as it was warm during our stay but I've no doubt it would be lovely when needed. There is a small private garden to the side of the property should you need it but we didn't use it. Parking is at the front of the property, if like us you have 2 cars to park then it can be a little tight to get them both in but we soon found a way to get both car on easily. All in all we had no complaints about out stay in Wychwood and would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone. Thank you to the owners for a lovely stay.

We have stayed at wychwood a couple of times before probably about 10 years ago but it seems to have lost it sparkle, furniture and decor are very tired, also not one door in the cottage closes properly not even the toilet door and the windows need cleaning, don't think it value for the money, will nor be booking this cottage again in the future

Lovely accommodation ,clean and tidy ,a lovely welcome pack on arrival,we would definitely recommend this cottage to family and friends, and will be going back we had a lovely stay ,many thanks to the owners .

Very comfortable cottage - high standard of furnishings and they had thought of everything you might need.

Lovely welcome box

Not as clean as I would have expected - dirty mugs so really felt like we had to wash all the crockery to start off with, thankfully there is a dishwasher.

Beds Clean and cottage tidy. Welcome pack pretty poor a basket wish crisps and a few bits then another basket with half a dozen tea bags and a few pencil sachets of coffee and sugar thankfully we arrived in time to go to the shop for supplies had we arrived late this would have not seen us through to the morning which is the least we would expect. Jam for sale ? Very poor, I think if they had spent an extra £10.00 on these types of things it would make a huge great difference and given we were paying over £800 for 4 nights for 4 adults I think they could have supplied a little better on logs / tea / coffee/ milk. The other thing that urks is a long list of what we have to do on exit...strips all the beds and put linen in bags - make sure the dishwasher has finished it cycle by check out time of 10am - its all a bit much - sadly wont be re-visiting

The area beneath the burner had not been cleaned & the cupboard below the tv was full of dust.

We cleaner both. The kitchen had a rather unpleasant smell. We have stayed in 5 Sykes recommended properties but unfortunately this was below the standard we expected. The furniture & property is in need of some real TLC. Sorry to say this as the area is lovely but we were disappointed with our stay at Wychwood.

Really enjoyed this holiday, 2nd visit.

We love this cottage and the private location. We stayed in April last year and the steam trains were passing through every day. This was great when sitting in the garden and you can see the steam rising up from the trains below together with the trains whistles. Just creates the atmosphere of Heartbeat tv programme. Log fires great and mega easy to light it. Really enjoyed the holiday.

Wychwood house, highly recommend to experience.

Easy to find if following directions, parking outside. Clean, cosy and homely, the organisation of the property is good. A welcome pack, preserves for sale at a reasonable price. Special touches were noticeable and appreciated. We slept down stairs and the bedding was feather down, a firm mattress. The area is quite special, if you want to experience peaceful scenery. We would visit again .

A beautiful cosy retreat in a great location for exploring the northeast coast.

Lovely to escape to after a day in the busier resorts. Everything you need is there. We would definitely stay again. Had a power cut whilst there - apparently not uncommon- only off for a couple of hours. Neighbours were helpful and the owner was straight up to see if we were ok! Didn’t spoilt it at all .

beautiful cottage,loveley welcome pack on arrival.

wonderful warm log fire

This was a lovely comfortable cottage with everything you could possibly need for your stay.

They had also trimmed it up for Christmas which was lovely and very welcoming. The box of goodies was lovely with biscuits, cake and wine what more could you ask for. The weather was very bad when we got there and we had to shovel our way up the little entrance way to the row of cottages so I would suggest that anyone going in wintertime to take a shovel and sand. We could not get out for 2 days but I think that is unusual at this time of year. I think it caught us all out. We did get out to go down into the village and see the Santa steam train which was great. Overall a nice holiday. I would recommend it to anyone. Thanks to the owners. P.s. they also left some biscuits for our cocker spaniel too Thankyou most welcome. Darrill and David Chambers

Lovely cottage in the heart of grosmont.

Very comfortable beds. Downstairs room does get a little chilly on a night but plenty of bedding provided included blankets. Amazing welcome pack (thank you very much!) as other guests have said parking is a squeeze and does take some getting out especially if there are 2 cars but not a major issue. Overall fabulous stay. Very beautiful cottage.

We loved your cottage it is so cosy and welcoming.

It is has everything you need, instructions and explanation of things are very clearly marked. Furniture and beds very comfortable. The gift box was very generous. Thank you very much for allowing us to park up our car on your drive early to allow us to go on the NYMR moorlander diner. The only thing to nit pick was the shower going hot and cold, but as explained this is due to the water pressure in the area. Otherwise a wonderful homely cottage in an ideal location for the NYMR and the coast and lovely little villages especially Slights and Ruswarp We will definately be back.

We absolutely loved Wychwood cottage!

It’s was like getting a big hug of a cosy country cottage. We arrived a little early as wanted to see trains. It’s less than 5 mins walk to Grosmont Station, Perfect. We had a Tesco delivery grocery slot booked for 4pm. All arrived exactly as planned. We used the co-op to ‘top up’. Station cafe filled the gaps on snacks for baked potatoes, sandwiches and cakes! The pub was closed until Thursday night…so take something with you, or book a slot, or pre-order at the co-op We even had Interflora deliver massive bouquet of flowers. Ok - the house….I love a kitchen diner, it had everything you need. The king size bed is downstairs and if you need a pee in the night, you have to go upstairs, just leave a light on up there! We didn’t use the other 2 bedrooms so cannot comment. The king size bed is very comfortable. It got abit cold in the room late at night, so I took my robe and wore that too. Good mattress, great bedding and good quality towels. Need to get some new pillows, as they were abit worn and flat. Again, since covid, I travel with my own. I love a long soak in the bath, lashings of hot water. Husband had showers, it was a pain, ran abit hot and cold, but he got there in the end. We knew there was a woodburner, so we took our own firelights, matches and some logs, just initial supply provided. Furniture is a leather sofa, comfy for two, an upright wingback and a cuddly comfy big chair. The car is parked on private drive down a country lane. It’s fine for my big estate car, access no problems. The enclosed Garden is off set opposite across the quiet back lane, literally just across from front door. There are chickens next door, so keep an eye on ‘Rover’ and sheep and ducks near by. If you want a 20 mins drive, you will be in Whitby. Big supermarkets, best fish and chips, the abbey etc. If you want walks, they’re on your doorstep. If you want steam trains…wow! You’re in the right place. If you want TMC (the model train shop) I know, I know, but it’s 10 mins away in Beck Hole. Robin Hoods Bay is not too far either. I mean it’s the holiday that keeps on giving! We stopped at Harrogate on the way up. Shopping! It was 90 mins away. We usually stay in seaside cottages, this is our first country cottage, but chosen really because of Grosmont station. Well worth a chat to all volunteers. We visited their engine sheds, the signal box and sat on most of the foot plates. thank you for letting out your cottage. We really loved our 4 nights there. Booking for next year for a week.

Lovely property well equipped and comfortable beds.

Loved the quality of bedding and towels although the towels had a damp smell to them. Garden was in need of attention but ok. Upstairs double and bathroom doors needed filing as did not close very well. Appreciated the welcome pack thank you. Great location near to railway so only used car once in the whole week.

Bathroom is upstairs so disabled may have difficulty.

We enjoyed our stay with grandchildren, one of them wanted to see the secret cupboard under the stairs to visit (seen Harry Potter) and were amazed to see all the games, dvds etc! The folder about the property is worth reading. Parking tight but Ok even for our SUV. The welcome pack was most welcome. Only a short walk down to the Grosmont station, cafe, pub and co-op.

We had a lovely week at Wychwood - the beds are very comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped, and the owners were very quick to resolve a small electrical issue we had.

Our main reason for booking Wychwood was the secure garden, which I assumed could be accessed directly from the house. This is not the case...and whilst it does mention in the listing I didn't pick up on it which is my fault, however it was disappointing and wanted to highlight it for other guests. The other disappointment was the Station Tavern ...the only pub in the village. If we had checked reviews on TripAdvisor we would have been aware of how inhospitable the owner is. We arrived at 7.35pm on the Friday evening, after a six hour drive, and asked for a menu to be told he stopped serving food at 7.30pm. The only shop in the village closes at 5.30pm...so not a great start to our trip. On our second and last visit to the pub on the Sunday we witnessed 4 young walkers being told they couldn't get food as they hadn't booked. Obviously this is no reflection on the owners of Wychwood but again worth noting for future guests...be prepared and take dinner for the first night at the very least.

Arrived on 9th June had a fantastic week cottage was great very clean and comfortable Kitchen well equipped ,beds very comfortable.

Jessica + Mum and Dad plus 3 Grandparents had a fantastic week weather was perfect for the whole 7 days. really enjoyed it so did a 2 year old (Jes) loved the train trips into Whitby and beach. Garden good little sun trap can you tell we had a great time hope to be back again. Thank You

gorgeous cottage in beautiful spot

It was absolutely perfect.

Had such a lovely feel to the place. Everything we needed and wanted. Lovely area. Extremely clean and spacious. Would definitely be coming for another stay in the future.

Clean, comfortable, well equipped and maintained.

Nicely situated for anyone interested in the steam railway, just a couple of minutes from the cottage. Some pretty walks close by and the local Co-op has a good range of essentials.

A perfectly lovely cottage in a perfect location.

The train, cafe and coop in town were excellent experiences and the area is breathtaking. The cottage is well stocked and we loved the throw blankets to curl up in at night. Thank you for the lovely stay. We couldn’t have asked for more.

This cottage is a little gem.

Fabulous location for all we’d planned to do over our short break and it had the perfect layout for easy garden access for our fur babies, one of who is a very early riser. Will definitely stay here again if we can get booked in; it’s very busy because it’s so very nice. Would VERY highly recommend. Marie, Janice & Jacqui 15.5.23

Clean well equipped property, very comfortable bed .

Great location for exploring both inland and coastal areas of this lovely part of the country

We had a lovely week at Wychwood!

The cottage was well equipped, clean and comfy. We found parking 2 medium sized cars was tricky but possible, the parking space is big enough but the narrow lane makes manoeuvring tricky. The garden was great to sit and relax as well as being secure for our dog. Grosmont is a lovely scenic village. We visited lots of beaches, Runswick was our favourite. All in all, a fabulous break!

A great cottage, been here before and will definitely be back again.

Cottage is so homely, so well equipped and so comfortable, loved our stay at Wychwood.

Lovely cottage,well equipped and the owners had thought of everything,to make our stay a good one.

The private garden was perfect for our dog and it was secure,no holes in the hedge etc. The village of Grosmont is a good base to explore the countryside and also the coast. Not forgetting the steam railway engines and the history of the railways. We enjoyed our stay at Wychwood cottage very much.

Well-equipped, very clean and very comfortable.

Quiet location. Lots of things of interest within walking distance, including pub, stations, shop and bookshop. Highly recommended.

Lovely and clean.

Had everything we needed, a very peaceful and restful break.

We stayed at Wychwood for Xmas 22 and loved it.

The cottage is beautiful and everything you could possibly need. The beds were comfy and the hot water plentiful. There was enough of everything and we managed very well especially as we had tons of food and xmas presents. We managed to park a transit van and car in the small space with no problem what so ever. There was a couple of minor problems which were the radiator in room was not hot and just warm. There was a leak in the small bedroom which got worse over the week due to the weather so my son was a bit fed up as it was cold and damp. The owner left us a note to advise us of this and is been fixed in the new year. We would defiantly stay here again and really enjoyed our xmas holiday here. We will be back Wychwood thank you for a xmas to remember.

In a self-catering cottage advertised as sleeping 5 we would expect at least a large saucepan capable of cooking pasta/rice for 5 adults.

Additionally we would expect there to be sufficient crockery and cutlery for a full day of meals. This was not the case and required washing-up or excessive use of dishwasher. Car parking was as advertised, but we feel it should be highlighted that large cars will struggle to access the parking space and whatever size of car will need to reverse for some distance ( maybe up to 100m) down a narrow back lane. Other than these points, we were very happy with the accommodation and the property was very comfortable.

Yes we had a very nice stay at Wychwood, nice quiet location and lots of birds.

Cottage was clean and tidy and we wanted for nothing. We did spend some time watching the steam trains go by, it was great. Ken

Stayed at this lovely cottage before, we love everything about it, the beds are like heaven, wish mine was as comfy!

Love the spacious kitchen, my doggies were happy as well. Hope to be able to return a 3rd time, worth the long journey from Essex.

Very good location Very welcoming for the humans and pets And a very good night sleep

A very suitable property in an extremely pleasant area.

We would stop there again in the future. Thank you

What can I say, lovely property with everything you can need.

Everything was lovely, clean and comfortable. Lovely welcome card with some flowers and tea/coffee, biscuits and milk. Also biscuits for the dog which was really appreciated. Lovely location, close to Whitby. Had a slight issue with the Free Sat remote which I had to ring the owner about but I had it fixed before he arrived. Think the remote is on it's last legs. But nothing major to worry about, played board games that were in the chest. Will definitely be coming back.

A wonderful cottage, very cosy and plenty of room.

Great location for Grosmont, Goathland and Beckhole. Certainly worth a visit, have stayed there twice now.

This is our second visit to this property and we loved it just as much this time around.

Great location, if you like steam trains. Very quiet and well equipped. We’ll look forwards to our next visit

Very nice cottage in need of some checks.

Bathroom door wouldn't shut or lock the new owners sent someone round quickly sort it out, he was able to make it shut but sadly we found it still didn't lock! All it needed was a small piece of wood! The bed in the 3rd bedroom was used by an adult of no heavy weight. The slats collapsed when he sat on the bed causing there mattress to fall through, this happened a couple of times it looks like the bits holding the slats are inadequate, plus any slight movement it just creaked and groaned! As experienced renters of holiday cottages my son says "this was the worst bed he's ever had "and he couldn't sleep that well at all. The main bedroom is a long way from the bathroom, if the new owners could put in a downstairs toilet it would greatly improve the facilities. I believe this has also been suggested by others. Instructions for the washer/dryer would be helpful.

This is one of the most comfortable cottages we have stayed in, everything you need is in the cottage, on the plus side the garden has now been done so you can sit and have an evening drink, must be good that is the 4 time we have stayed here.

The only downside we could find was the lack of none slip matt in the bath.The dogs loved the treats and a nice touch was the fresh flowers, no dout we will be back again.

We had a lovely week at Wychwood.

The property was clean but needed airing and the bathroom was a little tired in places. The carpets appeared to be brand new and the bedrooms were very clean. The master bedroom is on the ground floor so a bit of a trek to the bathroom. It was lacking blackout curtains which was a major issue for us sleeping when it became light in the morning. The owners should look at rectifying this, along with adding a full size mirror in the room. I would suggest swapping the master and the twin bedrooms round if possible as the rooms were similar sized as it would be a lot nicer upstairs with better views and the bathroom next door if you were a lone couple stopping. The twin bedroom was lacking a wardrobe as was the single so hanging space was limited. The garden was fantastic, a great little sun trap and had sun all the way to the sunset. There was a table and chairs with an umbrella to relax on. We had an issue with a faulty cold water tap leaving no water in the kitchen and a broken gate, both were rectified within a day so very impressed. Parking was very tight however it was possible to fit our two big cars there with a bit of manoeuvring. The property was extremely well stocked with equipment and I would think you would have everything you needed in the kitchen to make some of the biggest of meals. Overall a great stay and we would recommend Wychwood. Great location for the railway and exploring the North Yorkshire moors and coast.

Fabulous cottage, lovely location, clean and tidy with everything we needed.

We will have to come back to use that lovely wood burner in the lounge which was all set up with instructions for lighting - it was just too warm to warrant using it!

An absolutely brilliant week.

The cottage, as usual, was first class and close to all the amenities we needed. The cottage itself is well presented and has everything a family would need for a perfect stay.

Great spot especially if you love the steam railways and moments away from beautiful Yorkshire Dales and moors.

Pub a few hundred metres away and also locals very friendly. Cottage was spot on

Another fantastic week at Wychwood, its a shame we had to wait 17 months to return because of Covid but it was well worth the wait, still a comfortable, cosy cottage and immaculately clean, things were quiet in Grosmont as the steam railway had not yet reopened but this makes you appreciate the beautiful surroundings and walks even more.

One of our favourite places to eat was Steam in the Geal galley but sadly the owners of steam have moved in to Robin Hoods bay, however the old school house tea rooms are now doing pizza three nights a week and it’s delicious, the witching post pub in nearby Egton is a lovely place for for food and drink and they are shortly opening a tea rooms too. Fish and chips from sleights were as good as ever . I know Wychwood is now under new owners and it would be great if they would consider putting a downstairs toilet in the boiler room, that would make this cottage absolutely perfect given that one of the bedrooms is downstairs, cannot wait to stay here again
