“Lovely cottage in a peaceful location” My husband and I stayed at Grosmont Cottage whilst visiting family in the Whitby area. The cottage was ideal, two very pretty bedrooms, nice living room and newly fitted kitchen. The TV reception was poor but we didn't mind that and I am only mentioning it as I know lots of families could not exist without constant television. There is plenty of good quality cutlery, china and cooking equipment. There is lots of grassy outdoor space for children to run about in with a couple of benches and picnic tables . Our grandchildren visited us for the day and loved it. We were extremely lucky with the weather and we used the picnic tables on a couple of evenings for entertaining family and loved the beautiful views and the silence - it was so quiet you could hear the sheep chewing the grass! We saw deer, rabbits and pheasant and numerous birds. The only thing that would have improved out stay would have been our own outside eating area. Just a small table and a couple of chairs outside the front door would have made our breakfasts idyllic and would have saved the running backwards and forwards that trying to serve a meal at the picnic tables necessitated.

Guestbook for Grosmont Cottage

Nice cosy cottage in a quiet location with lovely surroundings.Good base for exploring the North Yorkshire Coast, North York Moors and lovely Eskdale.

Enjoyed our stay at your well equipped cottage in a lovely part of the country.
It was good to have so much open space for the children and not to have to worry about where to park the car which is a problem with cottages in Whitby.

Our children loved feeding the ducks in Ruswarp and spent many happy hours on Sandsend beach just a short drive away. We hope to return to this lovely spot.

We loved the quietness of the surroundings and spotted alot of local wildlife, good to see the Herons fishing in the Esk and we spotted Pheasant, Woodpeckers and Deer close to the cottage access road.
