We had a lovely stay in Ruswarp, its an ideal base for exploring the area. The cottage had everything we needed and having your own off street parking is very welcome. The only minor comment I would make is its at the side of quite a busy main road which can be a bit noisy, so if youre a light sleeper bear this in mind.

The cottage itself is beautiful and very nicely located. It is about half an hour walk to Whitby (choosing the flatter walk alongside the train track) or longer if you tackle the hills over Ruswerp fields. There is a local pub and butchers that sell high quality food along the high street and we were very impressed with the services. We were diRead moresappointed that there was an electrical fault whilst we were staying in the property that left us without access to the washing machine, dishwasher and half the plugs in the kitchen. We rang the numbers in the brochure but it took two days for someone to come out and sort things. In the meantime, it left us apprehensive about using appliances in case of further power cuts or worse. The brochure in the cottage does have useful information in. However, the farmers market advertised is for Whitby in Canada! Its a good job we used google. Whilst the property states is it pet friendly and is, the property also states it has an enclosed garden. The garden is not enclosed and a dog could easily get out and onto a main (very busy) road. With all this is mind, we would still stay at the property again and would recommend it to others. I would advise anyone with dogs to take them out on a lead at all times and do your own research about the local area (the pub has lots of brochures) Hide

Plenty of information given before our arrival. We were returning to our "home" town for a family birthday so didn't need the directions but this would be useful for anyone who doesn't know the area. Lovely cottage. Thoughtfully decorated, very clean and plenty of room for 5 adults and a dog. Lots of extra touches that I wasn't expecting, like a piRead morent of milk in the fridge. We really enjoyed our stay. Hide

The property was to a very high standard, very clean, comfortable beds and sitting room and very well stocked kitchen. However, the dishwasher could perhaps benefit from a clean run and the tin opener was not very effective. But these things did not take away from the high quality of a superb holiday cottage.

Very clean and kitchen has all we required to self cater in style. Welcome pack and instruction on how to use the equipment were most helpful and coffee machine was a dream. Outside area was most comfortable and location was very quiet at night to allow for a easy and restful sleep. 10/10

Thought that website description should have mentioned proximity to main road with some traffic noise. Otherwise, a great base from which to explore the area.

The well-equipped property is located in a quiet and peaceful village, just a 30 minute walk to Whitby. Close to all amenities, including local pub and a very good butcher's shop. We stayed for 2 nights from the 19th May, on our first day we had a lovely walk into Whitby for food and drink then walked back for a nightcap in the local pub. On our seRead morecond day we walked to Robin Hood's Bay on the cinder track, which was a lovely 2hr walk, got the bus back (which runs every 30 mins). Overall, this 3-bedroomed house in Ruswarp is a fantastic place to stay, the perfect place to relax and unwind. 10/10 for location, house and outdoor space. Hide

We had a lovely stay in this well-equipped cottage. The location is perfect for visits into Whitby and there are a number of great walks on your doorstep. A couple of minutes walk and you are by the river, which is well worth a visit. The local butchers are also worth a visit as it is much more than a butcher's shop! We will be back! 5 stars.

We were lucky enough to stay in the cottage at Easter. It has been completely renovated, finished to a very high standard and beautifully furnished throughout.
