5.0

If your idea of a perfect getaway is combining a love of steam trains with a thoughtfully designed cottage, look no further. The pretty arched windows of this charming home in village of Grosmont looks directly on to the station tracks, a true delight for trainspotters (or anyone that appreciates the bygone majesty of a steam train). Grosmont's position at the terminus of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway means you can sneak in a visit to the engine sheds and tour the world's oldest passenger tunnel. But make sure you grab a pint with the locals too at The Station Tavern, the village's beloved pub. In the summer months, the combination of watching trains pass and being near the seaside town of Whitby (twenty minutes by car) is irresistible. Spend evenings in the long living and dining room with its stove and low ceiling keeping the chill at bay. Huge cottage windows and French doors let in tonnes of natural light. This home, lovingly taken care of and waiting for your arrival.

Home truths

    This home does not allow pets – those travelling with four-legged friends should look elsewhere

    Train enthusiasts will love this home, but it does come with the odd toot of the train whistle and chug of pistons punctuating the day

    For larger groups, this cottage can be combined with the two-bedroom cottage next door

    Parking is not immediately at the front door of your cottage, but at a nearby car park. There is a small hill to reach the home from here

    The WiFi connection can be patchy

About The North York Moors

Stretching from the coast at Whitby to the Howardian hills inland, the North York Moors National Park covers a huge swathe of the north’s wild countryside. Ancient and awesome (in the old sense of the word), the wind-beaten moorlands have inspired gothic novels and romantic epics for centuries.
