A lovely cosy comfortable cottage right on the station. Ideal for watching the steam train (when it is running and not partly out of action due to bridge 42!!). Excellent location for walking and getting out and about exploring the area both by car and train.

The owner of this property demonstrated true concern for our comfort and addressed a mechanical issue (which was no fault of hers) just as fast as she could. The cottage was top notch. We are already planning a return next year. 5 stars!

It is a shame that the owner is selling up, as this is an ideal venue for train enthusiasts as it is within easy walking distance of Grosmont Station.
