Lovely cottage in a perfect peaceful setting with lovely views. One of the best areas to stay as close to the scenic moors, steam railway and British Rail line with station conveniently in the next village of Danby, Whitby and coastal resorts. Excellent food at the Fox & Hounds in the village. They even reserved us a couple of roast dinners for the Sunday evening. Unfortunately our week was spoilt slightly by atrocious weather but we made the best of it on the two good weather days. Memorable trip on the Nth Yorks railway from Grosmont to Pickering. Saltburn also worth a visit.
