The garden was in need of maintenance, it was difficult to access because of an overgrown holly bush all the way up the path. The hob was very rusty and didn’t get hot enough to cook on. We didn’t find a dryer, just the washing machine. The property just needed some TLC, it was in a lovely friendly village, the parking was difficult but that’s something that can’t be solved.

The property is in a great location in the beautiful village of Ruswarp. We enjoyed the quiet of the location compared to the hustle and bustle of Whitby, and having the option to get a two minute train into Whitby, walk down the Esk river to the harbour or taking the woodland path.The cottage is lovely, it had everything we needed and we had good communication from Laura throughout. There is a great butchers less than a minute down the road and local amenities.
