About this property

Enjoying breath-taking, riverside views in the pretty village of Grosmont, North Yorkshire is Riverbank View, a charming, two-bedroom cottage. Centrally positioned near the shops and eateries of Grosmont, whilst resting within the North York Moors National Park, Riverbank View offers a homely abode for a self-catering stay, inviting four guests. Benefit from a private off-road parking space and an EV charger, before making your way into your new home-from-home. Be welcomed into the traditionally-styled living/dining room, featuring original beams, dining seating for four, a rustling woodburning stove, and plush seating, whilst also enjoying access out to the private balcony. Head into the kitchen to prepare delectable meals, before gathering alfresco, with the River Esk in your backdrop; you'll also get the chance to watch the steam trains go by, crossing the nearby bridge from the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. As the night unfolds, locate two well-appointed bedrooms, including a double and a twin, before awakening to a refreshing shower in the bathroom. Watch the world go by from your riverside position, before heading into the village to stock up on the essentials, to grab brunch from Old School Coffee Shop, or a tipple from The Station Tavern. Fabulous transport links are near Riverbank View, with Grosmont Station a stone's throw away, offering services towards both Whitby and Pickering. Within proximity you'll find the Museum of Victorian Science, the stunning landscape of the Mallyan Spout Waterfall, and a plethora of walking and cycling trails zig-zagged through the national park. Head for the coastline, reaching Whitby and its hub of attractions, where you can hike towards the Larpool Viaduct, tour Whitby Museum, enjoy a leisurely afternoon at Pannett Park, climb the 199 Steps for an elevated view, devour a bag of fish and chips along Whitby Sea Front, or take in the towns culture by discovering the remains of Whitby Abbey. Box off your break by strolling along Robin Hood's Bay Beach, or visiting Robin Hood's Bay Museum, before heading to the Browns Robin Hood Bay for a delicious, sweet treat. Experience the best of the coast and the country at Riverbank View.
