Everything about the accommodation and location was perfect.
This was a wonderful place to spend our anniversary and the house was big enough to comfortably sleep 10 people of a variety of ages and needs. Everything was just perfect!
Loved this beautifully well furnished house in an unusual location with great facilities on hand; a pub across the road, bus stop outside and scenic walk between river and railway to Whitby. Steam engines of the NYM railway passing by provide interest, and rowing on the River Esk is a delight. A good house for those with a dog, the courtyards are secure and entry via the laundry room was useful in wet weather.
This was our second visit to The Station House and loved every minute. This is a lovely home full of warmth and character. The location is perfect for a walk into Whitby and the owners are always helpful. We have already booked our third visit for next year. Can't wait!
For us the use of 2 sitting rooms was a real bonus which gave us plenty of seating. Being dog friendly, the addition of the utility area was brilliant for damp dogs to dry off in and preventing shoes going onto the carpeted areas. The pub opposite is very handy for food, it gets busy so book or arrive early. It was great to walk into Whitby but even better to get back on the train and be on your doorstep. Overall 10/10, can't wait to return.
This is the 4th time we've stayed at The Station House and we always find it a lovely, relaxing environment which has great access to all the local amenities and attractions. We love that it is a real home from home.
This was a holiday for a family get-together, the accommodation was spacious, comforable and clean and situated for easy access into Whitby and surrounding towns and villiages.
An extremely well equipped, spacious but cosy and welcoming house. Very conveniently situated for amenities and access to the town and lovely countryside/riverside walks. The occasional steam train or scheduled diesel (only 4 a day and only two carriages) made an interesting diversion - and did not detract from the overall peace and comfort of the house. We spent a lovely week here in December and would thoroughly recommend this property.
The cottage was lovely and in a great position for walking into Whitby. Fabulous for family gatherings and the children loved the trains going past.
A wonderful characterful property in an excellent location, with plenty of space for us all. The steam engines were a particular bonus and going out to see them while they waited for the level crossing was great fun. A real gem of a cottage and we'll be back.
Great location. One of the best cottages I have stayed in
Although it was only a short break, we enjoyed the access to the walks nearby across to Whitby and the general setting. It was very relaxing to just enjoy the patio garden and restful being in the house when the weather was a bit damp or chilly. It was a good base for any kind of holiday, and having two sitting rooms, and a good utility room was great for a big family or a group of different ages.
This is our second year at The Old Station House, and it never fails to make us happy. In fact, none of us really wanted to come home, even the dog was upset. The owner keeps a very tidy House and looks after it really well. hoping to go back next year too.
The comfort, cosy feeling of the property gave you the feel good factor. Location was very good in walking distance of Whitby, a fantastic property. Would certainly consider staying again.
It was my fathers 80th birthday and to have children and grandkids in one house was very special. The real beauty was the space, it allowed us to eat and socialise but also have our own space - from the utility room, to the warm kitchen, to the eating area and the sanctuary of the back sitting room.
Spacious and characterful with lots of small touches to make a very enjoyable stay (2x TVs, books, DVDs, games, basic food items)
A dream house, just as a station house would be imagined, even to the trains stopping at the station.The house was warm and cosy, with enough rooms to prevent a family of eleven getting on top of each other. The Aga, woodburner, pub across the road and the Santa Special train trip made our whole experience at the Station House unforgettable. A must rent property for all train lovers, young and old.
Loved the house. The 4 poster bed was very very comfy. We will definitely return didn't want to leave!
We loved everything. So warm and welcoming and comfortable. We could have done with another week, just to get over the chilled out feelings we all had. We all slept very well in the fabulous warm and relaxing beds. We would all like to return again one day.
Excellent holiday home. Well positioned for Whitby and walking. House well equipped, warm and spacious.
What a treat to have steam trains passing the windows every day. A very well maintained property in a great location. It was a privilege to have the chance to stay there.
Excellent family property, location, access to amenities and Whitby. All in all, one of the best self-catering holidays we have had, and we have had a good few!
Excellent location, trains enjoyed by everyone.
The cottage was perfectly based in an ideal location, just a short 40 minute walk from Whitby. It was great having the train literally on the 'doorstep' and we were lucky to see steam trains throughout our week at the beginning of May. The courtyard area was a real sun-trap and perfect for a family BBQ.
Clean and comfortable accommodation in good location. We look forward to going again.
The station house was everything we were hoping for but when we arrived it was even better than we imagined. Truly stunning!
Convenient, cosy well equipped house. Aga and log burner just right for the weather we had.
The accommodation was fantastic. So much space! The Aga was an added bonus, all of us said we would go back with family. Whitby is only a 30 minute walk too.
It was altogether excellent.
This was our third visit to the Station House. It is such a beautiful, relaxing place to stay and very well equipped. Our boys loved seeing the trains whizz past the windows. It's brilliant that you can now walk into Whitby along the railway line too.
The house is beautiful. It is well-furnished and has lost of plants, pictures on the walls and ornaments - you really feel like you are at home. I have already recommended this property to friends and would love to come back again. I wish there were more properties like this.
The kitchen was so well equipped, pub so handy, trains very convenient for our railway-mad family. Parking good, nice walking paths close by.
An excellent property with lots of character and we loved watching the steam trains pass by. Good base for visiting Whitby, Scarborough, Saltburn and other places. Loads of space for the 3 generations of our family.
A great location. Ideal for a large family with a lot of room to spread out.
Had a great holiday at The Station House - it was a perfect location for walking and travelling. Would recommend it to friends and family.
A totally wonderful and relaxing time was had by all. The Station House at Ruswarp was very special. Many thanks.
The house was very spacious and the children did not get under our feet. The house had lots of books, games and jigsaws to keep them happy. The steam trains passing the front window was a great attraction for the children as was the pub across the road for the adults.
We booked this property for my brother's 40th birthday as he is a rail enthusiast. The house is amazing. There is so much room for everyone (8 of us) and the furnishings are exquisite! Everywhere was spotlessly clean and, despite the house being so big, it was very warm throughout, we visited in December. It was also lovely to be able to bring the 2 family dogs!
The Station House is an excellent holiday home in a wonderful location. It is extremely well equipped and the owners were very helpful and friendly!
This is a spacious property kept to a high standard. The Bridge Inn is in easy walking distance with a warm welcome and acceptable food. Made extra special by the passing of steam trains.
The Station house is a wonderful property. The owners have thought of everything you need to feel at home. Very clean, quality furnishings and plenty of steam trains going by. A perfect holiday for 4 generations of our family.
The Station House was fantastic, every little detail of it oozed charm and warmth. So everyone reading this go and stay it is brilliant. You also get a Steam train going right passed your window; How cool is that - FANTASTIC!
The Station House and the village of Ruswarp were beautiful and I'm already planning to return next year. The location of the Bridge Inn was excellent too! Being able to walk out onto the station platform and watch the steam trains go by was worth the cost of holiday itself.
Ruswarp is a lovely quiet location but with some good activities on offer. Great walk to Whitby and train ride back onto the doorstep - literally! Enjoyed watching and waving to trains. Loved the space the house gave us to enjoy 8 adults being together.
Station House was just what we wanted over the weekend. It accommodated 10 adults and 1 child comfortably. Cleanliness, facilities, accommodation and location were all first rate.
The location of the house - on a bus and train route into Whitby. Local amenities were excellent. We particularly liked the 'quirkiness' of the property!
Our party had 6 adults, 4 children and a dog. Excellent! Plenty of space, clean, everything you need to make you feel at home. Added bonus was that steam trains stop at the platform outside the front door. We all loved the whole holiday. Good pub grub in the local opposite. If looking for a family get together, try this one.
Our 3 small grandsons loved the access to the trains. House was very user friendly - 'good' standard of decor/furnishings was ideal - we didn't want to have to worry about things too much. House was fantastically well -equipped and I loved the AGA.
Great area and loads to do - we ran out of time!
Steam engines outside the window!
We liked the situation of the property.
The well equipped and comfortable rooms. Easy to get to a lot of the local tourist areas. Plenty of places to dine out.
The Station House was excellent for all our family, from toddlers to grandparents. Lots of space and so well equipped. The steam trains passing through were great fun and it was so handy for Whitby and Sandsend beach for the children. The whole house was well presented and wonderful for a family holiday, the 6 of us had a great time and would definitely recommend it as a high quality holiday let. Thank you.
The house was great for our family gathering. Some comments from the children aged between 6 and 11 :- fantastic time; best ever holiday; can we come back next year?
Loved the atmosphere and the location. The accommodation was great. We had a great time. Helpful and friendly owners.
Very cosy, well equipped and well situated. Had lovely time.
The fantastic location and the attention made to fine detail. Every aspect covered, did not want for anything. Excellent pub opposite and good local butchers. It was perfect!
Great property for seeing the steam trains. Lovely house, useful enclosed patio area.
The cottage was very well equipped and done to a high standard. The welcome tray from the owner was a lovely way to start our holiday. The location was perfect and gave us a great base to explore the area.
Building quirky and interesting. Good location for exploring local areas. Family and dogs enjoyed house and garden.
We had a lovely second stay in this lovely house.
Very spacious accommodation. Well equipped. Aga in kitchen. Location with steam trains passing regularly.
A lovely cottage very close to Whitby.
The grandchildren loved the trains passing at regular intervals.
The house was large enough for 8 people without any problems.
Excellent accommodation for a truly wonderful family holiday. The house was fully equipped for all our needs and the trains being literally on the doorstep were an added bonus. The location was fantastic and we will definitely come again. A good time was had by all!
Lovely location and ideal base for a large family holiday.
The house was wonderful for a large family party. The situation of the house was perfect - 50 yards from an excellent real ale pub and a brilliant local butcher/baker. The absolute BEST thing was that steam trains trundled past the front window four times a day!
All round excellent accommodation, in a superb location for the coast and the Moors.
The house was perfect for our get together family holiday more than enough room for everyone to do their own thing or all to be together. The trains kept the grandchildren entertained not to mention grandad. The aga was the perfect cooker. A try before you buy experience. The walk into Whitby a delight.
House was amazing, would definitely recommend to friends and family. Great area and the steam train going past was a real treat. Would definitely return soon.
The house has considerable character and is most comfortable and well-equipped. The steam trains going through added further character and interest. The Aga was superb for cooking! The location is excellent. The owner was most helpful.
A well presented house, very well equipped. Lovely surroundings with plenty of places nearby to visit.
It was like taking a step back in time with a beautiful setting and the steam trains passing regularly. Also ideally situated for visiting different places of interest around that area. Lots to see and do.
The Station House was fantastic. So much space yet still cosy. Location was ideal.Well presented and for a larger family group very user friendly.
It would be hard to fault this lovely idiosyncratic property in any way. A wondeful cottage for aging adults and I imagine irresistible to families with young children.
Ideal situation for people relying on public transport. Bus stop within 50 yards and trains literally on the doorstep.
Excellent property in a great location.
We loved our break at the Station House in Ruswarp, one of the best presented and maintained places we have ever rented. I can't say anything bad about it at all, many thanks for letting us stay, I and my family had a wonderful few days!
The Station House was warm, clean and extremely well stocked. In particular the owner was extremely helpful.
The place is absolutely gorgeous.
Excellent weekend, great accomodation.
Brilliant building, well appointed, 8 of us had a weekend we will never forget.
We like being able to have all our family together. Having 2 sitting rooms was a bonus, and the house is a great for "Hide and Seek". Absolutely adore the Whitby area, whatever the weather! Eden camp well worth a visit. Crazy golf at Whitby and fossil hunting were a hit with the children. Watching the trains - the children especially loved waving at the steam trains as they passed in front of the house. Loved the Aga cooker!
Everything we could possibly want was available in the house...
Plenty of room for adults and children. Comfortable accommodation. Excellent setting.
Spacious well equipped house, good location. Plenty to keep young and not so young entertained!
The property was very comfortable.
Excellent property affording plenty of spacious, clean accommodation. We were extremely delighted and all felt that in some ways the brochure and details didn't do this property justice. It was ideal for all the family to get together, loads of crockery, cooking utensils, saucepans etc.
A great venue for a family holiday. The children loved the space in the house, fantastic for hide and seek. We had fun catching the train into Whitby from our back door.
Fantastic house full of character, we really enjoyed our stay which would have been great anywhere but had the added bonus of being in a wonderful location - thank you!
We had a fantastic time on holiday, the good weather did help. The cottage was everything we hoped for. Our thanks to Sykes Cottages and the owners.
We loved the accomodation as there was plenty of room for both families and for the children to play together.
Lovely location. House was roomy enough to take 5 children (5 - 10 years) comfortably and still leave a 'quiet room' for the adults.
