Garden Cottage

Ideal for stay in Guisborough, doing more sections of the Cleveland Way, very handy for town centre.

The house was very clean and well kitted out. Very handy for walking into town centre. There was a tribute band festival going on at the rugby club not far from the cottage. After booking Carolyn very thoughtfully told us that we might want to reconsider due to noise from the festival, but it finished each evening at 11 p.m so there was no problem. In fact we quite enjoyed hearing the different tunes as we went to and from the house ! Communication was good. Would stay again.

Cottage in Guisborough, North Yorkshire

The kitchen was well equipped, everything we needed, plenty of space to sit and eat at the table. The lounge was a nice place to sit, plenty of books and magazines about. plenty of storage space in the bedroom and comfy beds. Good shower. Everything lovely and clean. Loved the south facing garden, great sun trap. The weather was kind to us so we made good use of the garden.

− As it says in the write up and other people's reviews, the steps to go upstairs are very steep. Has 2 sixty somethings with dodgy hips they were a bit challenging.. We did enjoy our stay and the surrounding area is lovely..

Very good, we will use this property again.

Host was helpful and friendly. House was decorated to a very good standard, some funny and querky touches! Great location for visiting all the N.E coast beaches

− Parking wasn't always straight forward

Excellent stay but suggestions for improvement

− Interior no issues but first impressions let down by rotten back gate and I also had to clean up back yard to remove moss and leaves before letting dogs out , back yard could do with a general overhaul but otherwise no issues

Location is walking distance to the town, which had plenty of amenities. Cottage was clean and tidy.

− There were 2 important things not made clear when booking, which negatively impacted our stay, and could cause others to arrive and not be able to stay. The stairs are super steep and not very deep. It was like climbing a ladder. They are varnished floorboards, no runner or carpet, so very slippy. We managed, but lethal for anyone with young children or disabilities. This should be clearly stated when booking, I would not have booked if I had known. Secondly, the garden. A patch of overgrown grass and weedy patios, with a broken gate. Not in the slightest bit private, secure, or suitable for dogs. The garden was the reason we booked this cottage, and I was hugely disappointed. It could be a huge selling point, but needs work and to be made a private and secure space. Parking... "should be able to park close by, no need for booking." We parked a 5min walk away in paid parking. People were parked in back street by the house, and lay by parking is resident permits only. Again, this should be made clear.
