The property, in a row of ex miners cottages, and situation were beyond what we expected. Very easy to explore the York Moors, sites and towns. The hosts were extremely thoughtful and helpful.The steam trains were a joy to watch from the back door and bedroom. We returned home with great memories.

Lovely cottage in a great location
We had a comfortable stay in this lovely cottage, despite a week of mainly eet weather. We chose this cottage because it was central to all the places we wished to visit. It is located a 15 minute walk outside Grosmont, alongside the railway track, and almost as long a journey by car. We enjoyed the fairly remote location and would certainly consider staying again - preferably at a warmer, drier time of year.

A Christmas to remember!
We had an absolutely magical time we arrived in darkness so was truly amazed in the morning to see the views around us. We had a lovely cozy stay in a well prepared house, there wasn’t anything missing we wished we had. I was slightly worried being in a different kitchen and environment for Christmas I was a bit concerned about but we were fine and we loved every minute. When the weather was nice the walks were great and we had the treat of seeing the last Christmas trains literally outside the front my children thought it was amazing. We had a lovely, cozy and quiet place which felt home from home and we loved it so much we will be booking again.

A lovely little house in a quiet and peaceful location
My wife and I spent a week in Mallard Cottage at the end of November 2021. What a charming place to be. The kitchen is spacious, with everything you could ever need in. The living room is smaller, but still a lovely room to spend time in. The large window looks out onto the small front garden, fields, hedgerows, and the railway line. It's akin to a widescreen for birdwatchers, which my wife and I definitely are. I've never seen quite so many different species while having my breakfast. There are two bedrooms, one with a four poster double bed, and one with bunk beds. Obviously we had no need to try these out, but we found the double to be really comfortable. The decor and furniture in Mallard Cottage perfectly suit the style of the building and location. There is solid wood throughout, which leads to a homely feel and relaxing atmosphere. The house is also a lot warmer than we thought it would be. This is probably as much to do with how thick the walls are and how well the modern windows fit. It's also part of a terrace, which also helps. Therefore the heaters don't have to be on that much to keep the house toasty warm. I should point out at this point that the beautifully tiled bathroom doesn't have heating, but the airing cupboard is in there. This generates the hottest water I've ever encountered. You could probably make tea with it.... Mallard Cottage is located in the Esk Valley, which also happens to be most of the address. It is remote and exceptionally peaceful there. Therefore it takes some getting to. There are steep valleys either side, then roughly a mile of single track road. I've been driving for 25 years, and drive many different vehicles as part of my job. I pretty much had to recalibrate my driving style while we were there. Any bad points? None worthy of mention really , although the stairs are similar to the landscape, steep and twisty. We always found them somewhat of a challenge. Pauline and Peter, who own the house, are probably the nicest people you're likely to meet. Pauline sent us concise and accurate directions and a map, although due to time constraints, we had to find it in the dark. It was more than worth it when we eventually did.. In summary Mallard Cottage is a beautiful house, owned by two lovely people, in an incredibly scenic location.. If you happen to live in a town that's never completely quiet, as we do, even during the night, then there's no better place to get away from it all.

A lovely little cottage
This cottage was perfect for our needs. It had a fantastic surroundings and the cottage contains all we needed. The steam train going past was great fun to wave at. The owners were very welcoming even though we were a bit early in arriving. The access road is very steep and we were lucky not to have met a vehicle coming the other way. We would certainly return again.

Tranquillity
Lovely, clean and cosy cottage in the most peaceful location we've ever stayed in - and we've stayed in some VERY quiet places. No through traffic, no shop, no pub, no amusements... it's perfect (if this is what you're after). Great walks around the area and Whitby is less than 10 miles away if you want sea and a few more amenities. Would definitely recommend.

Esk Valley in the NYM
Definitely a quiet cottage at the bottom of a valley. I loved the drive down every time we did it. Pre-comms and check in was good, a nice owner couple partly lives next door. Place was cozy and seemed clean. It is a bit dated and could use a other few minor upgrades (a coffee press, decent knife or two). All in we enjoyed our stay and the area.

Lovely house in a great location for both enjoying the coast and discovering what Grosmont has to offer. Plenty of good local walks and pub/restaurants to enjoy. Granddaughter loved all the country noises from passing trains to clucking hens and bleating sheep.

August in Grosmont cottage
We had a very comfortable week in Pauline’s cottage, which was cleaned to a very high Covid standard. Very relaxing time in this traditional cottage with all the essentials for a great holiday. Pauline and Peter were very friendly and welcoming, we had great walks, some from right outside the door. The coast is easily accessible but we stayed local , there is a pub in Grosmont which serves food, only a 20 minute walk away and numerous others in Egton if you use the car. Certainly on our list to visit again in the future.

If you want peace and quiet then this is definitely the place, you literally cant hear anything, it's perfect! Waking up to steam trains going passed the bedroom window is an experience! Would definitely recommend and will probably return next year if possible! Thank you.
