About this property
Ruswarp 0.5 miles. An attractive stone terraced cottage, in an elevated position, above Ruswarp village near Whitby. One of eight, in a small development of converted barns, the cottage is ideal for families wanting to enjoy the peaceful location, but be within five minutes drive to the centre of Whitby seaside town. There is a spacious open plan living area, comfortably furnished, with character beams and a stone feature fireplace that houses a gas woodburner-effect stove, creating a lovely, cosy feel. There is a modern, well-equipped kitchen and separate dining area, whilst stairs lead up to the three bedrooms, all boasting views to the distant hills. A stable door opens onto a gravelled patio, which takes in superb views over the countryside, with sheep in the neighbouring field, this is a lovely spot to sit and relax with a glass of wine and watch the sun go down. A short walk brings you into this popular village, with excellent facilities, including a renowned butcher and a local inn serving real ale and food and a village shop. Enjoy boating on the River Esk, or partake in coffee and cake in the river front tea room! Children will enjoy feeding the ducks on the river, a ride on the miniature steam railway, or a fun afternoon at Mini Monsterz soft play centre, perfect for a rainy day. Whitby offers many attractions, with its long, sandy beaches, historic harbour and famous abbey. Explore the cobbled market square and narrow ginnels, climb the 199 steps up to the abbey or enjoy an atmospheric 'ghost' walk in the evening. Surrounded by the beautiful scenery of the North York Moors and pretty market towns, including Pickering and Helmsley, this cottage provides a wonderful base.

The bed was comfortable. The shower is great and the bath fills up really quickly. Gas fire worked really well, just had to be patient for the pilot light to work but that's because we're not used to gas. Central heating worked well. Great idea for the tray for our muddy boots and hooks for our coats on the back of the door. Plenty of crockery to fill the dishwasher up which was fab. The walk up to the cottage is steep but it was fine for us plus we saw a couple of Roe deer and a Barn owl while walking up to the cottage. The walk into Whitby was great, as soon as you get into Ruswarp village you can walk along the footpath next to the railway track, it's a flat path, and from the house it's a 2 mile walk, you'll need a torch if it's dark... We also caught the train from Ruswarp to Grosmont there's a 2 mile climb out of there onto the moor, and walked through the woods to Little Beck then along the River Esk. Also caught the train to Great Ayton and did a circular walk to the Captain Cooks Memorial and Roseberry Topping, beautiful views. The cottage is ideally situated for us, there's a regular bus the 95 that passes through every hour to Whitby. You can catch the train. There's plenty of taxis in Whitby, which is a great town lots to do and see, plenty of places to eat and drink. And lot's of lovely walks. I must also mention The Bridge Inn in Ruswarp was cosy, good home cooked pub grub, good portion sizes but they also do smaller portions too. All in all we had a fantastic holiday, the hosts were really friendly and helpful too. Thank you
