Preacherâs Rest is one of two holiday lets in a converted chapel.

The chapel is set into a hill. Preacherâs Rest is at the back, facing the hill and another property above it. On either side are further properties. There is a steep incline leading to the chapel and a set of steps to get to the entrance which makes it unsuitable for people with mobility issues or the elderly. This information is missing from the description for this property. The upper floor of the property with the kitchen/dining and living area is lovely, bright, airy and modern. It has everything needed. The flowers, cake and milk on arrival were a kind and welcome gesture. Wifi and TV reception was excellent. The sofas were comfortable and the doors that open out to the gantry and the patio is a nice touch. Because this property is at the back of the chapel, walls surround it at ground floor window level. It makes the ground floor feel dark and more like a basement. The holiday lets next door look directly into the main bedroom. This made us feel uncomfortable getting dressed or undressed without the curtains closed. All three bedrooms are small. The single bedroom only takes a single bed from wall to wall, and the window cannot be opened. It is a tight squeeze in the bedrooms between the bed and the walls. In both double bedrooms there is a shelf protruding from a wall which you bump into when trying to squeeze past, particularly in the night. The bed in the main bedroom is not king size, it is a normal double bed. The mattresses are not the best quality. We had issues with the standard of cleaning in the bathrooms. We arrived to find mould on tiles and grouting in two of the bathrooms. There was dark mould and scum on the shower hose and in the bottom tracks of the shower. This came loose when we first ran the water, which was unpleasant. The owner came with the cleaner for a second clean but the dirt on the shower hose and some of the mould on the grouting was still overlooked. We couldnât be bothered to call them out again because we wanted to enjoy our holiday, so I removed the remaining dirt in the main bathroom myself. The drain cover for this property is situated just outside the main bedroom window and on a couple of occasions when it was sunny there was a strong sewage smell coming from the drains. The second bathroom at this property has a half-sized bath tub and no window. This isnât mentioned in the description. The picture shows a bathroom with a window. This should be corrected as it is misleading. The plastic strip which acts as a seal between the glass bath screen and the bath in this bathroom has not been cleaned for a long time. There is mould on the tiles and grout above the bath. We did notice a large number of sparrows nesting under the roof on the main bedroom side. We loved the birds and their noise but occupants of the neighbouring holiday lets pointed out the bird droppings on the wall and bathroom window of the chapel. We made the owner aware of a wasp nest under the roof tiles, next to the upper windows. We couldnât open the windows on this side of the upper floor due to wasps immediately entering the kitchen area. Although the idea of the chapel conversion is nice and the upper floor was lovely, we wouldnât feel comfortable enough to come back for another visit.

Preacher's Rest is an excellent holiday rental in a beautiful location.

There is plenty of space inside and the property was recently decorated and was very clean. The welcome pack of milk, tea, coffee, sugar and fruit cake (Yorkshire Brack) was excellent, and exceptionally helpful after a long drive. As well as the welcome pack we had toilet roll in each en suite, plenty of towels, bedding, washing up supplies, dishwasher tablets, and so on. A lot more than you get in many holiday rentals. Supermarkets do deliver here and we had no problem in getting a Tesco delivery on the day of arrival. There is a basic shop in the village but a better option is the Sainsbury or Aldi in Whitby which is a short drive away. Further afield there are places like Helmsley that have a good selection of local bakers, butchers and so on. Some reviews mentioned problems in the past with the wi-fi. There was certainly nothing wrong with the wi-fi when we visited and the TV had no issues picking up the internet for the iPlayer or YouTube. The owner was very friendly and helped us out with a problem with our car which he certainly didn't have to do. As stated in the description there is parking for one vehicle outside the property. The train station car park which is for other vehicles is a short walk down the hill. There are some steps up to the property and a good number of stairs inside the property as it is on three floors. I believe the owners have a disability friendly rental on the same site, so it would be worth checking that if you would find stairs an issue.

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.

Wonderful Yorkshire, wonderful weather and most importantly wonderful Preachers Rest.

One of the nicest holiday rentals we have stayed in. The upstairs living area and kitchen were enchanting with WiFi being spot on (no problems experienced even with 4 using WiFi at the same time!). All beds were comfortable and plenty of towels provided for our use. A thoroughly well thought out property and a delight to stay in. The holiday particulars should mention the steep steps up from the car parking area and that the property is over 3 floors... The 3rd and smallest bedroom was at the entrance alone on a lower level away from the other 2 bedrooms down a corridoor. This was fine for us being all adults, but might not be suitable if a young child has to sleep there away from all others! SUGGESTION: Another saucepan (or 2) would have made all the difference when cooking a meal for 4/5. Only 2 provided. Also, kitchen serving spoon with holes in - difficult to get poached eggs out without one. Would highly recommend staying here. We loved it and were sad to leave. EXTRA NOTE: If taking a second car there is a car park at the station charging Â£5 per day (for 24 hours). This itself is not a problem, but sadly this daily charge runs from 12 midnight and states that should a car be in the car park for more than 5 consecutive days it will be towed away. Not very helpful from whoever owns the car park!

Preachers Rest is a lovey converted church, it was very clean with all amenities, thank you for the wine, milk and cake it was very welcoming after a long drive, unfortunately we were not able to enter the cottage until 17.

00 which made for a very long day. Due to there being no cushions on the church pews at the dining table, sitting was very uncomfortable, we had to bring pillows from the bedrooms to sit on! Government guidelines do state that cushions can be used and covers washed weekly? The bedrooms are on the small side, the single room is more of a box room and the twin room is also rather small for two people. The bath in the twin room looks too small to accommodate an adult. There are several steps up to the sitting and dining area which are curved and rather steep, especially for an elderly person or one with limited mobility. Grosmont is stunning with beautiful views and the village only a five minute walk away, but with a steep hill to climb on returning to the cottage, two of our party did find this challenging and this wasnât repeated so we were unable to visit the shop or the pub in the village unless we drove down and back! The WiFi was very intermittent and for most of the five days were unable to watch Netflix, the programmes on Freeview were also intermittent due to pixelation. We did try to enjoy our holiday but we wont be returning to Preachers Rest! I recommend that some these important measures are outlined in the description as i would have not booked this cottage knowing them! ï¿¼
