My wife and I found Broom House delghtful, after a long drive in the dark over the moors it was a lovely surprise at the end of our journey.The host made us very welcome and the Cottage Suite was better than we expected.The food was excellent .We are looking forward to hopefully going back next year.

Just returned from our second visit to Broom House and once again we had an excellent stay. Located in a very quiet corner of Egton Bridge, this B&B offers accommodation to a high standard and the owners back this up with excellent service and food.

The lovely, isolated position of the house is still only a 10-15 minute walk from two enjoyable local pubs, both serving good food and real ales. The Horse Shoe can be approached via a series of stepping stones over the River Esk. Great on the way out but risky heading home after a few pints of beer! The village also boasts welcome transport links to both Whitby and the rest of the Esk Valley, with a train and local bus service to choose from.

If you want a quality place to stay, away from it all, yet only a short distance from Whitby and the rest of the beautiful North Yorkshire Moors - this is the place to stay.

Highlights - Egton Show is worth visiting and takes place every August (the 22nd in 2007). A typical Yorkshire country show with attractions ranging from giant veg to pretty ducks and well groomed ferrets.

This is a lovely B&B in a tucked away location with beautiful views and great hosts.

The B&B has plenty of parking and pretty garden grounds (the owners sell chutney made from the fruit in their orchard). Our room was at the top of the house and very comfortable with a good sized bathroom and the usual tea/coffee facilities. (With an added cookie jar which went down great when we got back from the local pub!)

There are 2 pubs/restaurants within walking distance of the B&B. We tried the Postgate first of all but unfortunately found the staff unhelpful and unwelcoming. We were told that without a reservation for the restaurant we couldn't get food - even though there were other people in the bar ordering while we had a drink. So, we took our money and went to the Horseshoe Hotel (accessible from Broom House by walking over the bridge (15 mins), or over the Stepping Stones (7 mins)), who welcomed us (and have a beautiful dog!), and served us good fresh food promptly.

When we mentioned we were going out for dinner and drinks to the owner of Broom House he offered us a torch for the walk home and then as we left ran out with the offer of an umbrella for the rain. Very kind and exceeds the service you would usually get elsewhere.

In the morning the breakfast was beautiful (we had a full english and herrings) with a great selection. The owner was also very lenient with us in regard to our checkout time allowing us an extra hour. (Oh! There's a lovely residents room with comfy sofas too.)

The only negative I can think of is that there wasn't a shower cubicle in our room, but there was a shower attachment on the bath which worked fine. The train track at the bottom of the garden was right outside our window and didn't cause any disruption at all. One train went past, but it was quite quiet.

Really nice B&B within 5-10 mins walk of Egton Bridge. Beautiful setting, big open Lawn with chairs etc for sitting out on. Lovely lounge for reading / relaxing. Dining room perfect. Great breakfasts, great hosts in a top area. Spot on for a weekend break. Room sreally clean and full of character. Cant go wrong!!
