  • Superb rural three-storey cottage sleeping eight people with garden and elevated enclosed patio area
  • Four bedrooms and two bathrooms providing ample space and privacy
  • Homely and cosy interiors blending rustic features with modern touches including a toasty wood burner
Property code: OC-G0040

A hidden gem, located a mile down a farm track but less than 3 miles from Whitby town centre with a whole host of activities are nearby. Visit Whitby Abbey, 2.5 miles away, and visit the birthplace of Dracula himself. Atmospheric to say the least, it is a great place to soak in the ambience and enjoy the views. Speaking of views, 6 miles away is Robin Hood's Bay. An old smugglers village with sweeping vistas across the sea, it is absolutely worth a trip, especially with a picnic basket in tow. For a special twist, head off at night and visit Dalby Forest, 16 miles away. One of the best dark sky discovery sites in the country, the Milky Way can be seen by the naked eye.

The location for this cottage is extra special, set down a quiet country lane in the tiny hamlet of Golden Grove, on the outskirts of Ruswarp and a few miles from the gorgeous Yorkshire Coast. You have the best of both worlds here, peace and quiet in a rural location (and parking right outside!) but with the delights of Whitby (2 miles) just a few minutes' drive away.

Boasting handsome exteriors, the inside of this jaw-dropping property never ceases to impress. Wander into the large lounge and let yourself be immediately won over. With fantastic feature stone walls, huge window with countryside views and a double-sided wood burner that also faces into the kitchen/diner, you won't know where to look next. Choose your favourite seat and relax with a book or watch a DVD or catch up with your favourite series on Netflix. With games and books to chose from, all generations will find something to occupy themselves with on rainy days and chilled out winter evenings. On the opposite side of the wood burner to the lounge is the kitchen/diner. Here, oak floors, neutral decor and stylish furnishings create a handsome space and charming atmosphere. In the kitchen itself, an oven with electric hob, dishwasher, toaster, microwave and helpful extras make meal prep easy. For extra peace of mind, a washing machine and tumbler dryer is also provided in the utility room outside. When you are ready to come together, a grand dining table with plenty of space for everyone affords lovely views through the window and a great space for socialising. Stepping up to the first floor, you will find the master bedroom, benefitting from far-reaching views, king-size cast-iron bed and large en-suite shower room, it is a beautiful space. Another bedroom can also be found on the first floor, home to a double bed and the family bathroom can also be found on this floor. On the second floor are the two remaining bedrooms: two twin rooms. The second twin room is complete with table football, TV and a DVD player with a selection of DVD's to choose from.

Outside, an elevated garden is the perfect setting for long summer afternoons in the sunshine. Relax on the sunny enclosed patio area complete with rattan furniture, BBQ, and breathe in the fresh country air. The garden is set on different levels with a further patio area and garden furniture at the top. Garden is enclosed by a border hedge (with some gaps). There is off-road parking for two cars located next to the cottage.

Disappointing outdoor space - in need of some TLC and tidying up with steep steps and not really secure for children and dogs. House was warm, clean and comfortable.

An excellent place! It suited us perfectly. The cottage is a way from the main road up quite a steep access, but is a great compromise between being in the centre and being away from hustle bustle. The Bridge pub is a great place to Visit. An excellent place to get away from life with all the comforts and ample Basics to kickstart your relaxation.

We found the cottage well equipped and clean and we had an enjoyable stay. The cottage is unique and remote but ideally situated for enjoying all the delights of the coast and moors.

On arrival we found dog muck in the garden, the kitchen sink overflow pipe leaking, the tap constantly dripping and the bathroom tap not attached properly and spinning when used. The foods which were left presumably as a welcome were all out of date, the coffee by 5 years. The garden is NOT enclosed as stated and the patio slabs are loose and dangeRead morerous. Weekdays builders are constantly walking past the windows, there is a skip on the drive, scaffolding in the garden and noisy work begins at 7am.
