We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Grosmont. It had all that we needed and our Labrador Lily enjoyed her local and beach walks. The view from the main room was lovely. Thanks also for the much appreciated goodies.

Lovely clean apartment, ideal for 2 people, very friendly owner greeted us and gave information on local area, beautiful surroundings, sheep and chickens everywhere was special. J do think it could benefit with a slightly larger sofa and maybe smaller dining table if staying longer, but was fine for a weekend.

Fantastic apartment and great value. Ive certainly paid a lot more for worse! Great communication and very clear instructions. Apartment was very well equipped with plenty of kitchen appliances and utensils, for the odd occasion I fancied cooking. Would definitely recommend.
