  • "This is a lovely cosy little cottage, perfect for couples."

    It is beautifully decorated and very clean and ideally located for accessing the seaside and the local towns and countryside. The owners were really helpful and responded quickly when we needed them. The only drawback was the parking which was a bit of a pain (had to pay during the day if we couldn't find an on street spot) but was unavoidable due to the location. Thank you so much!

    Rosie, We very much appreciate you taking the time to list your review. And thank you for your lovely comments regarding the cosy feel, the decoration and cleanliness of Chimes. As you experienced it provides an ideal base for exploring the local area, while allowing you to be in the heart of the town. Hopefully the parking did not prove too painful, and fortunately is free from 6pm outside the cottage and the main car park off Redcar Road is just over £2 for 24 hours. Also thank you for your kind comments regarding our guest communication and response, we are so pleased you enjoyed your break at Chimes. Thanks again Andrew & Christine Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely stay at Chimes cottage, it is perfectly situated within the town and easy walking distance to all of its facilities."

    The cottage’s was warm and cosy and had everything we needed for the week and the parking pass was very useful, we managed to find a space just around the corner. Although we didn’t use the small courtyard our dog Ava did, it was very handy to let her out safely first thing in the morning and last thing at night. There were lots of dog friendly walks from the door and many more within a short driving distance. We would thoroughly recommend Chimes and look forward to our next visit.

    Thank you for taking the time to post your review of the cottage and surrounding area. We are pleased that both proved a great success in terms of comfort and location. We very much look forward to welcoming you back to Chimes. Thanks again Andrew & Christine Property Owner

  • "Lovely little cottage that provided a great base for a week away."

    The house was warm and comfortable and beautifully decorated. Lots of shops, bars, cafes and restaurants were within easy waking distance and there were nice places to visit within the surrounding area. We thoroughly enjoyed our break.

    Gillian, first many thanks for your review, we are so pleased you enjoyed both the cottage and everything the area has to offer. We very much appreciate your comments about the decoration and comfort. Chimes has been up and running for around 10 years now but we took over ownership last Autumn and gave it new feel, we are pleased you liked it. I know this was your first visit to the area but sounds like it may not be your last. Thanks again Andrew & Christine Property Owner

  • "Lovely little cottage."

    It has everything you need along with some personal touches to make it feel homely and cosy. We loved our week in Guisborough, a great central location for getting out and about, plus it’s a lovely town to stay in.

    Happy New Year and thank you for spending it at Chimes. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay over the holiday period and it is very kind of you to leave such a positive review. We spend some time ourselves staying at the cottage and so we do try to give it a home from home feel, plus Guisborogh, as you say, is an idea base to explore the local area. We look forwards to welcoming you back soon. Andrew & Christine Property Owner

    Great location for exploring the region . We have stayed twice as perfect in Every-way . The Christmas decorations were beautiful and made the cottage truly magical .

    We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Chimes Cottage, we bought the Cottage in September as a existing holiday cottage that had successfully been welcoming guests to the region for over 10 years. We set about changing the decor and feel of the cottage and it is encouraging that so far customers like the look and feel, especially at Christmas. Thank you for taking the time to publish your review it is a learning curve for us so having feedback is key in helping us make visitors stays as welcoming and comfortable as we can, thanks again Andrew & Christine Property Owner

  • "Ideal for town centre and walking in the cleveland hills."

    Perfect.

    Simon so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Chimes Cottage, as you say it is a perfect location being in the town and yet close to the Cleveland Hills and North York Moors. Judging by the weather forecast looks like you had some snow filled days too to add to the beautiful scenery, I am sure Chimes gave you a warm welcome on your return each evening.

  • "We booked last minute so we could accompany family who were staying in Guisborough, we had used Chimes Cottage before and we fell in love with it then so it was an easy choice to use it again."

    For a single or couple with or without dogs it's fantastic!

    Mark thank you for taking the time to review the property, and welcome back to Chimes Cottage. The cottage has been welcoming visitors to Guisborough for over 10 years now, in fact we stayed there ourselves earlier this year for the first time and loved it too, so much that when we found out it was for sale we bought the cottage and took ownership in early September in the hope we could continue to provide a great place to stay, it is a relief to know that as a returning guest we are achieving just that. Thanks again and we look forwards to welcoming you again in the future. Andrew & Christine Property Owner

Chimes Cottage has been welcoming visitors for over 10 years to the region as a superb base for exploring the town itself and the delights of the area.

The popular Main Street of Westgate is just a 2 minute walk, take in the shops and stroll down Challoner Street for something different from the tempting sweet shop, cross the road to wander around Candlewick, then on to Daisy Bloom for something quirky. The North York moors are on your doorstep or take a short drive to explore the famous seaside town of Saltburn, or discover the relaxed feel of Runswick Bay. Drive a little further to spend a day in the Victorian splendour of Whitby and have lunch at the Magpie. Or for lovers of walking easily trails start at the front door of the cottage with the footpath by the Church leading you on to easy county circular walks out towards Guisborough Hall and surrounding woodland. For the more adventurous there is walks out through the local forest Rosebeery Topping and Captain Cooks Monument.

The owners have gone to great lengths to renovate this North Yorkshire cottage to the highest standard, set over two floors, the cottage exudes charm and character throughout.

Upstairs, you will find the double bedroom, with iron framed bed and exposed original beams giving the room a stylish, romantic feel.

However if you feel like eating out the cottage is a short stroll to some of the towns best places to eat or drink.

The Monk for a relaxed pre dinner drink before walking down to Cookfella’s for dinner is a firm favourite evening for many of our guests.

GUISBOROUGH

Saltburn-by-the-Sea 6 miles; Staithes 13 miles; Whitby 21 miles.

Guisborough is an attractive market town set in rural surroundings on the edge of the North York Moors National Park. Steeped in history, Guisborough is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the town's most notable feature is the beautiful ruined abbey, Gisborough Priory; standing in full glory, to its original height of 97 feet, the dramatic gothic east gable towers high over the market town and has become a well-known icon of the town. This bustling small town has twice-weekly market days, a good selection of eateries, excellent pubs and many independent shops. Around Guisborough sits the spectacular woodland of Guisborough Forest. Guisborough Forest & Walkway is situated in Pinchinthorpe on the outskirts of Guisborough at the northern end of the A173. It extends for 2.5 miles along part of the route followed by the old Guisborough Branch Railway line, heading west towards Nunthorpe, and east to Guisborough Forest, which is managed by Forest Enterprise. It is a gateway site to the North York Moors National Park and offers splendid views of Roseberry Topping to the south. Points of local interest include Highcliff Nab and Hanging Stone. Captain Cook 92s Monument is also within walking distance. The Cleveland Way and the Tees Link walks pass through Guisborough Forest, and are just two of the many walking routes easily accessible to visitors. This super country park has cycle trails, walking routes, bridleways, a trim trail and an easier sculpture trail. The park includes the Guisborough Walkway which runs along the former trackbed of the Middlesbrough to Whitby railway line. This includes a wetland area with boardwalks, woodlands and grasslands. You can also climb Highcliff Nab for fabulous views of Teeside and the coast. The park is also very popular with mountain bikers with a number of super trails to explore. There is an excellent visitor centre with full details of all the trails in the park. The long distant trail of the Cleveland Way passes close by, whilst nearby Roseberry Topping is well worth the climb to take in the spectacular views. An easy thirty minute drive brings you to the Heritage Coastline, with historic villages and resorts, including Staithes, Saltburn and Whitby to enjoy.
