About this property
A superb, modern terraced property, situated in an enviable position on the banks of the River Esk, in the bustling village of Ruswarp, two miles from the centre of Whitby. Set in the grounds of a former mill, this spacious Ruswarp cottage has been beautifully furnished to provide first-class accommodation, with contemporary styling throughout. This Ruswarp cottage boasts a bright and airy first floor sitting room, with lovely views over the river, whilst downstairs, the well-equipped kitchen leads into a sunny conservatory, a perfect room to sit and relax in and watch the abundance of wildlife on the river. Offering four stylish bedrooms, this Ruswarp cottage provides a very comfortable holiday home for both families and friends. Outside this Ruswarp cottage, a small enclosed patio has gated access to the river, a lovely spot to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the steam trains that regularly pass by in the summer months. Ruswarp itself offers good amenities, including an excellent butcher's, local shop, village pub and boating on the river. A nearby public footpath provides a pleasant walk into Whitby, with its narrow cobbled streets, long sandy beaches and famous abbey. With the stunning countryside of the heather-clad moors close by, and a spectacular coastline, this Ruswarp cottage provides a good base to explore this beautiful area.
Just two miles inland from the seaside resort of Whitby and the Yorkshire Coast is the quiet little North York Moors village of Ruswarp. As well as a nine-hole golf course, this quaint little place also enjoys the use of a village pub and shop as well as both sea and river fishing facilities. The river which runs through town provides excellent opportunities for a boat ride, or just a few minutes away is the local miniature steam railway. With so much to do in the area, this is an excellent base for those looking to enjoy the Yorkshire Coast.

A lovely home from home in a delightful position overlooking the River Esk. The house is well maintained and the kitchen is fully equipped making eating âinâ an easy task. Beautifully situated for Whitby on foot. Decent pub and an award winning butcherâs shop just around the corner. Highly recommend this property âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸

It was equipped with everything we needed and had wonderful views of the river where we enjoyed watching the seal each day at high tide along with bird life including a kingfisher. The lounge and conservatory were both great places for relaxing, the bedrooms were very comfortable and we were easily able to make large meals and even party food in the well designed and equipped kitchen. We enjoyed the walk and quick train journey into Whitby and visiting the local area. Many thanks for a memorable holiday.
