The accommodation had everything you could need plus more! There was a small food tray with bread and some other items aswell and milk and butter in the fridge! Everything has been thought of! Very clean and modern and felt really comfortable. Ideal location next to the pub station and bus stop.
Would definitely stay again.

"A modern, well maintained and spotlessly clean property."
It was absolutely ideal for a break with my two teenage daughters.
The only reason I'd give a 4* and not 5 is that the location is good but not perfect. Views from the property aren't great and the lack of a local convenience store would be difficult for people without transport. Having said that, these are minor points and nothing that could be changed.
Had a wonderful time and would recommend to a modern family for a break.

The pub is a stone's throw from the property and is very welcoming for a rural Inn. Just past the pub is the walk that takes you along side the train track, where you often see old steam trains on their way to Whitby. It's a flat picturesque stroll around 30 minutes all the way to Whitby harbour.
As mentioned in other reviews the floor boards are very creaky but you get used to them in no time.

"What a lovely little house, extremely clean and comfortable, had everything anyone could ask for in a lovely area of Whitby."
The addition of the very generous welcome pack was a lovely surprise and very much enjoyed by us all! The only very slight negative was the squeaky floors upstairs, not good if you have light sleepers with you but as there were only 2 of us for most of the week this wasn't really an issue for us.
Would definitely recommend this house to anyone who loves Whitby but doesn't want to stay in the heart of it. The lovely walk at the side of the railway line takes roughly 1/2 hour to get from Ruswarp to the centre of Whitby itself. Thank you once again for a lovely stay in your perfect house.

Lovely quiet village. Boating on the river was great fun and a lovely cafe just next door. You can walk in to Whitby along a path, which goes between the railway line and the river - great when the steam train comes along. Great location for both the coast and moors. Lovely local villages and beaches, coastal & moors walks, plenty of places to visit. Fish and chips galore, but if you are wanting to eat in a nice restaurant or country pub, book early or ahead of your stay. Would highly recommend Dabbling Ducks!

"We had a lovely time at Dabbling Ducks."
The property is beautifully presented with excellent facilities. If I could add one thing it would be curtains in the bedrooms in addition to the blinds that are already there. A fair bit of light gets in during the summer even with the blinds closed. The beds were comfy and the bathroom was lovely, rain shower over the bath was fab. There is a church in the village with bells that toll every hour but you do get used to it and don’t even notice them after a while. There is no actual garden. The picnic bench sits just at the side of the house in front of where you’d park your car in the shared driveway area. We sat and had a BBQ there one evening which was pleasant. The little front garden area of the property adjoining Dabbling Ducks is a bit unsightly with a various bits and bobs lying about, but the people seemed pleasant when we spoke to them. There are lots of things to see and do in the surrounding areas. The boats on the River Esk are lovely, as is the miniature railway. Both are just a few minutes walk from the property. We cycled to Whitby along the side of the railway and river, it took about 20 mins with two very small children in tow! There is a soft play across the road from the boats which was great for a rainy day. Falling Foss Tea Garden is worth a visit, a lovely outdoor cafe in a Forrest setting. We would recommend a stay at Dabbling Ducks.
