About this property
Grosmont 1.5 miles. An attractive mid-terrace cottage nestled amidst beautiful countryside, in the small hamlet of Esk Valley, near Grosmont. Originally an old railway property, it is the perfect spot for a relaxing holiday, with the advantage of watching the steam trains on the North York Moors Steam Railway passing close by. Entry to the cottage is via the back door, into the spacious kitchen with a dining area to one side. This bright and cheerful room leads into a charming sitting room, with comfortable sofas set around a cosy open fire, ideal for warming your toes on a winters evening! With a lovely homely feel, the cottage feels warm and inviting. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, both with superb views over the glorious scenery. The immediate surrounding countryside is a haven for nature lovers and a walkers paradise, with a network of public footpaths from the doorstep, including the popular Rail Trail that takes you to Goathland. The small village of Grosmont can be reached either on foot or by winding country lanes and is the home to the steam railway. Wander around the engine sheds, watch the trains puffing in and out of the station, or partake in tea and cakes in one of the tempting tea rooms, including the converted school. The local inn serves tasty home-cooked food and the art gallery has many interesting exhibits. Just a short drive brings you to the historic seaside port of Whitby, with its long sandy beaches, famous Abbey and picturesque harbour. With pretty inland and coastal villages to explore and the nearby market towns of Pickering and Helmsley an easy drive, Chapel Cottage provides an excellent base for a family holiday.
The village of Grosmont lies in the centre of 'Heartbeat Country and offers a general store, post office, cafes and a pub. The village is close to many lovely villages, walks and the coast. The popular resort of Whitby is close by and is well worth exploring.

The cottage is in a lovely location but would benefit from some updates several of the window panes need replacing as they are blown (full of condensation) the standard light in the lounge we couldnât get to work and the fan in the oven is very loud at times but it did not affect our holiday just observations Ideal location for rest and relaxing

Very clean, very comfortable and in a brilliant position with fantastic views and walks. Some nice little touches such as the fresh milk and bread awaiting us on arrival. Very informative booklets informing us on how to use heating, internet, to, immersion, etc. we would love to come and stay again a, perhaps next summer. Wonderful weekend.
