    “Well appointed cosy cottage with fine views out over Grosmont village and the railway below.”

    It is an ex Methodist chapel that has been converted to a high standard, with underfloor heating and is very well insulated. The Station Tavern pub was a short walk away, very welcoming and had a great range of the local delicacy, the Parmo! Good description of the property re the step and stairs. The steps up from the dedicated parking space are unlit, though a torch is provided in the entrance hall (and it does enhance the fantastic view of the night sky when the skies are clear). Ideally ...

    It is an ex Methodist chapel that has been converted to a high standard, with underfloor heating and is very well insulated. The Station Tavern pub was a short walk away, very welcoming and had a great range of the local delicacy, the Parmo! Good description of the property re the step and stairs. The steps up from the dedicated parking space are unlit, though a torch is provided in the entrance hall (and it does enhance the fantastic view of the night sky when the skies are clear). Ideally suited for exploring the locality with the NYMR station just down the hill. We took the short train trip to Goathland visiting the not to be missed Birch Hall pub at Beck Hole. Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay, the Hole of Horcum and Old May Beck / Falling Foss are just a short drive away. Overall a fantastic place to stay, highly recommended.

The property

Ground Floor The superb, luxury holiday cottage retains the character of the building including the fabulous sweeping arches and mullioned windows - take a look at that view!

- you hear the steam train as it pulls into the village in the distance. On the ground floor, enter this stunning chapel conversion via an impressive arched entrance leading to hallway.

There is a stylish, king-size bedroom with a smart en-suite shower room with shower, WC and hand wash basin. There is also a twin bedroom on this floor with full size 3' single beds and an en-suite bathroom with bath, shower over, WC and hand wash basin. First Floor A wonderful central staircase leads to the first floor which has three magnificent arched windows with spectacular views.

This floor is open plan, light and airy, with stunning views across the valley and comprises a seating area with comfortable seating and TV/DVD. The dining area is a lovely spot to enjoy meals together including pews for seating which were found and restored from the chapel.

A fabulous, well-equipped kitchen with granite work surfaces also has a breakfast bar with stools; the appliances include an electric hob and oven, microwave, dishwasher, combined washing machine/dryer, fridge and separate freezer. Outside Outside there is a pretty courtyard with seating area - take a moment, sit back and look out over the valley, seeing the steam train as it passes through with its plume of white; whatever time of the year the view is beautiful - meadows, moorlands and woods, green and luscious in the summer and golden in the autumn.

An idyllic spot.

About the location

GROSMONT

Whitby 5 miles.

The pretty village of Grosmont sits at the junction of the River Esk and Murk Esk in the midst of striking North Yorkshire Moors scenery. The area is characterised by its narrow roads, steep hills and scenic views over valleys of patchwork fields and wide-open expanses of moorland. Grosmont itself lies in the ‘Heartbeat Country’ and is famous for being the home of the North York Moors Steam Railway. The Railway has been preserved and run by enthusiasts since 1973 and today carries upwards of 300,000 passengers a year. The village has a general store, post office, book shop, art gallery, cafes and a pub. It makes a great base for exploring the many pretty farming villages along the Esk Valley and the wider North York Moors National Park, as well as the North Yorkshire Coastline with characterful harbour towns and villages.
