  The property had all we needed for an enjoyable holiday - including a splendid view to enrich the morning coffee.

  Spectacular view and conversion. Really well stocked with kitchen equipment. Very short walk to pub and train station. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

• "What a fantastic property!"

  It ticked every box, catered for all our needs and more. It was a great 5 day stay, lovely small village, which is accessible to Whitby and other towns. The Chapel was a wow for views, and very tastefully decorated. We would highly recommend

• "Excellent property in every department."

  Most importantly pet free. My son has allergies and regularly has to go home from holiday early due to pets having been in property. There needs to be more excellent properties like this that are dog free. Thank you

• "Great stay in Grosmont."

  Property was exactly how it was describe. Clean, tidy, and lots of amenities. Good info folder on arrival, as well as tea, coffee, milk, and sugar, so everything there to make a good brew upon arrival. The road to the chapel is tight and single file so be careful and parking is on a slope but no issues for us. The views from the windows across the hills and valley were stunning and to add a bonus we saw the steam train chugging on by.

• "Lovely property but the photographs of the twin room make it appear more spacious than it is."

  The stairs with their 180 degree half spiral caused one of our party an issue....to be fair the description does allude to an issue with steps......probably not a property for the unstable. Overall an excellent stay as always from a Sykes property

• "We had a wonderful stay the cottage beautiful and offers magnificent views."

  We felt very comfortable and everything was good. If we had any negatives, it is worth mentioning the walk to the pub and shop, is not far but on a very steep incline. Just a small thing, the frying pan needs changing, as some of the non stick is coming off. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you very much.

• "At the risk of making it harder to find an available week to rebook the Chapel on the Hill we highly recommend it for a holiday stay."

  The conversion from its previous use has been imaginatively done and to a high standard. The interior is both very well equipped and comfortable with the views across the village and up the Esk Valley being the icing on a rather nice cake. The location is good (excellent if you like the sound from time to time of steam engines working hard) and with the surrounding area offering so much for a holiday then what’s not to like. Highly recommended.

• "What a fantastic property with everything we needed for a relaxing holiday."

  It was furnished to a high standard, it was well equipped, had comfortable beds and the views from the living area were stunning. We loved that we could walk from the property to the railway station. We enjoyed walks from the house as well as catching a train a few stations along then walking back. We barely used our car. There was a friendly pub in the village and a well stocked and welcoming shop. We had a high quality meal at a pub (The Postgate) in a neighbouring village and again very welcoming. We parked in Robin Hood’s Bay and walked along the coast and headed back on the cinder track. We wished we had two weeks instead of one week there was so much to see and enjoy. I highly recommend Chapel on the Hill as a place to relax after long walks exploring the glorious North Yorkshire Moors.

• "The accommodation was very comfortable, warm and welcoming."

  It is well appointed and if you want to go on a true self-catering holiday, this place has everything you need! Grosmont is well situated to do walks "from the door" as well as being convenient to explore the rest of this beautiful area by car. We had a wonderful week's break and highly recommend Chapel on the Hill.

• "Ticked all of our boxes."

  Whilst only the 2 of us, our requirements are demanding; 4 or 5 star, no pets, 2 bathrooms, parking, views and wi-fi. Chapel-on-the-Hill met all of these. A comfortable, well thought out property in a quiet location. Ate out so did not use the kitchen but appeared to be well equipped. Would happily return.

• "Comfortable and well appointed accommodation with the owners supplying some items you're likely to have forgotten."

  The upstairs living gives a superb view across the valley and it's, nice sitting on a night watching the car lights going up an down the other side. Places to eat in Grosmont are limited but it's a short hop down the road to Goathland where The Homestead Kitchen does some excellent food. Can highly recommend The Chapel as an excellent base for exploring the area.

  Great facilities kept immaculately clean and wonderful views from this upside down converted chapel. Would have been 6 stars if one of the settees was as large as the other to enable both of us to stretch out after a hard days walking! How minor can you get!!! Fabulous!

  Well located for a number of local attractions (steam railway, Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay etc.). But best of all are the views from the upstairs old chapel windows; fantastic.

• "Excellent accommodation."

  Very clean, warm and comfortable. Comfy mattress on bed always important. We had everything we needed for a weeks break. spacious and nicely decorated and furnished. Parking for one car was spot on outside the front door. The views from the front arched windows are fabulous and we were able to watch the sunset from the armchair.

• "A splendid welcome pack awaited us and everything we required was provided at this old chapel which has a well considered and modern lay out."

  It is beautifully decorated and has a spacious interior. Unfortunately, as stated, the property would not suit people with mobility problems as there are several steps outside and inside. The owners have every right to be proud of this property. Thank you Rod and Jill.

• "Fantastic !"

  The initial hillside views and impressive chapel were just a prelude to the accommodation itself. Every room and appliance were spotlessly clean down to the smallest utensil and there was absolutely everything you could need for your stay and more. It is obvious the owners have put a huge amount of thought into the layout and decor. Very spacious but warm and cozy at the same time. The location means you do not need to travel very far to visit both coastal and rural towns. We would and will, recommend a stay here to others.

  The view from the first floor was indeed wonderful, but with the overdimensioned very black (uncomfy and not our taste) sofas the living area lost its very unique charme. Had we seen the sofas before, we would have choose different. Apart from that the cottage is very well equipped and the welcome pack was delicious.

  Especially when you could see the steam trains back and to in Grosmont from the beautiful arched chapel windows of the upstairs lounge of the property. Inside the chapel was bang up to date. Well furnished and equipped and tastefully decorated. A great location for trips to the coast or just walking out of the door and exploring the countryside. Walking in this area can be pretty tiring but then you come back and sit on the sofa and watch the sun go down over the hills through those fabulous arched windows.

• "Our fourth fantastic stay in these lovely properties (Chapel-on-the-Hill and Sunday Cottage)."

  Outstanding as always. A lovely discovery this time was the new 'Albert's Gallery' in the stunning restored Wesleyan Chapel on Church Street, Whitby. We found it too late to book an evening meal but it was great for even just a coffee and fab cheesecake. Also shows old films maybe once a fortnight. The Station Tavern in Grosmont is under new management and was closed for repairs most of the time we were here so not sure how it will have changed. We had a couple of lovely meals in The Postgate in Egton Bridge though and bumped into Andy (the old Station Tavern barman) who now works there. Great days out in Filey, Bridlington, Whitby, Scarborough and Pickering. Also cosy times in this lovely property just cooking, reading, doing jigsaws and chilling out on the rainy days. Thank you!

  Great Sunday lunch at The Forge at Aislaby (best to book) and also had a very tasty meal at lunchtime in the Mallyan Spout Hotel in Goathland. The Magpie at Whitby was still as good as we remembered for fish and chips, etc. The Station Tavern in Grosmont can also be recommended for bar meals. Loved the walk along the Rail Trail to Goathland and back. The cake and wine were much appreciated. Hope to return in the future!

  Places to visit - Robin Hoods Bay is a fabulous little town with a massive hill; Sandsend - excellent beach and pizza restaurant was perfect; Mallyan Spout Waterfall - worth the walk and our 2 and 4 year old children managed. A big hill and rock at the bottom; Falling Foss Waterfall - a beautiful tea room. Take wellies for children; Pickering or Whitby on the steam trains - Pickering Castle was great, huge portions at the Black Swan. Amusements in Whitby good on a rainy afternoon.
