Welcome to Applegarth
Applegarth is a lovely 150 year old former school teacher's house in a quiet spot in Grosmont village and ideal for visiting the moors and coast.
We are close to the Yorkshire Moors and Heartbeat Goathland. Whitby is a short drive or train journey away (8 miles), and Robin Hood’s Bay and Staithes are nearby.
There is a coffee shop, pub and locally-run Co-Op all within 100metres. The North Yorks Moors Railway (steam) runs near to the cottage, the station and the engine sheds are close by.
The fully-renovated cottage sleeps 4 plus two children and sits in its own pretty garden. There are fantastic country walks from the cottage.

- Updated and modernised main bathroom
- Indoor cloakroom/toilet - replacing the old outside loo
- Modern controllable electric heating - no more 'night storage'
- New carpets, redecoration, new pillows and bedlinen.
- Work to repair winter storm damage with a new fence along the riverbank.
- In addition we now have a stair gate, travel cot and high chair for small visitors.
