Outstanding Property that exceeded all expectations

This was, without question, the finest home we have ever rented. The owners of The Mount Ruswarp are exceptional hosts, ensuring the property is impeccably maintained and every guest feels genuinely welcome and comfortable. Everything from the luxury bedding to the high-end appliances was of the highest quality. The furnishings and decor are elegant creating a home that is warm and inviting. Located just minutes from Whitby within an exclusive gated community, the setting is ideal. The beautiful gardens, relaxing hot tub, comfortable outdoor seating, and every convenience of home made it difficult to leave. Our heartfelt thanks to the gracious owners for sharing this remarkable home with us. Staying at The Mount Ruswarp felt more like being welcomed into a private castle. It is an experience we will never forget. Neil & Shan Cormie ”

Stunning home in a sublime part of England

Gorgeous house in an idyllic location. Perfectly situated for exploring the coast and North York Moors. Myriad beautiful walks on the doorstep. House is spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Owners very helpful. The outside space is a bonus. We enjoyed coffee in the sun and unwinding out there in the evening. Would love to go back and further explore the area. Thank you so much!!”
