  • "Great location, private but needs massive improvement."

    The very small lounge absolutely stinks, the sofas disgusting and full of fleas, spent the whole week scratching and our two poor dogs were infested with them. No tea towels, had to buy our own bath sheets as the two bath towels are the size of flannels.Garden is disgusting , garden furniture a joke 2 wrought iron chairs no use to anyone. Back gate totally rotten and not secure. General waste bin taken away one day and left in the car park for 3 days ! On the plus side decent kitchen and bedrooms.

  • "The property has its charm but it is also tired and in need of some redecoration."

    The ceiling between the ground floor and first floor has no insulation so you can hear everything from upstairs (talking) and downstairs (talking and the TV). Two main concerns that need immediate attention are the cracked ceiling beam by the lounge ceiling light, and all the loose, broken, and unsafe light switches and sockets throughout the property. None of the interior doors close properly. The kitchen lacks some basic items such as pizza trays, oven gloves and a colander, and the pan set needs replacing as the non stick coating is coming off. The bathroom is a good size, the shower is okay, but is affected when the kitchen tap or washing machine is used. The bath towels would benefit from being replaced with better quality ones, as well as having bigger bath sheets. There was no non slip mat or bath mat provided for the shower. The bed linen was good though. The lounge does smell of dog, and the sofas would beneft from a treatment as we had to cover with throws to stop us from itching. The vacuum cleaner itself needs cleaning and a freshener adding because as soon as you use it, it smells of dog. The garden is a good size, but not secure. The broken gate, overgrown borders, rusty outside furniture that can only accommodate two people, loose kerbs, and bent light post that incorporates the washing line, dosn't give the best first impression. You get what you pay for, and despite all this, our party of five had an okay stay. The owner was nice and welcoming when providing the keys, and sorted the electronic parking permit for us on arrival.

  • "The cottage needs a lot of maintenance and a deep clean."

    Unfortunately the living room has quite a fusty old smell possibly coming from the sofas. Plug sockets hanging off and cracked, stained cushions in the main bedroom and a dirty oven Outside was dissapointing, no adequate outdoor furniture to use and the garden is unkempt and covered in brambles. Its a shame because with a little bit of TLC it could be absolutely stunning. Two positives, parking was never an issue and the beds were comfortable!

  • "Comfortable cottage in a quiet location but is in need of TLC in areas - some sockets and a light switch are not fixed to the wall properly, stained duvet (however the beds are comfy) and a strange smell in the lounge which may be due to the age of the property but appeared to be from the sofas."

    The garden is a semi wilderness, although the owner advised that a gardener was booked a simple sweep of leaves and a pull of weeds in the meantime would benefit the look, rusted garden furniture is of no use to anyone! Of note the stairs are particularly steep.

    Although in a town centre location, it was in a secluded and quiet courtyard, and very quiet at night. We loved the decor and homely touches. The bread,milk, cookies and chocolate were a surprise and much appreciated. Thank you Laura, we hope to be back someday.

  • "I had an issue after checking out and tried contacting the owner but their phone was off and it took 20 minutes of knocking their door to have them respond."

    They came to collect the bins at 9.20pm without letting me know first and we were all in bed with the windows open so that was a bit of a shock. The beds are super comfy and the garden is wild, my cocker spaniel absolutely loved exploring but he did come in with twigs and grass seeds stuck to him. The cottage is cosy and the oven is great. The washing machine was a bonus but there wasn't a lot of pegs so I bought a pack and left them there. There was washing up liquid and detergent for the clothes. The welcome basket was lovely, the chocolate and biscuits were eaten straight away! Someone hadn't washed the pans up properly and they are very well used so I did not use those. The parking is sometimes a nightmare. There is a permit provided to park on the road and parking in the car park is free after 6pm and all day on Sunday so I did have to move my car around.

  • "We enjoyed our stay at Laurel Cottage."

    It was a pretty cottage and spacious. The welcome pack was a nice touch. It was in a good location and very quiet at night. We managed to park our two cars during our stay following the owners instructions. However, we were disappointed with the level of cleanliness and general maintenance of the property and garden. The house was clean on a surface level but the walls were marked and the radiator in the kitchen was quite dirty. Cobwebs in the orangery. Several plug points were loose and cracked. We had to wash the plates, cutlery and glasses before we used them as they were not clean. There is no dishwasher and no tea towels provided so we assume the previous occupants didn’t clean them very well and they were not checked by the owners before our arrival. It’s a shame as the cottage has a lot of potential and is in a good location for accessing sections of the Cleveland Way.

  • "Great location for exploring the North Yorkshire moors and coastline, and easy access into the town centre with a good variety of shops."

    The garden has great potential but was very overgrown, including nettles and brambles, and we couldn’t let our dog roam free as he came back in with garden weeds and seeds matted into his fur. Whilst there was a permit to park along a section of Redcar Road, there weren’t always spaces and we ended up moving the car around a bit in the day, eg using the supermarket parking or disc parking on Westgate for up to two hours. However, the cottage was cosy and quiet, tucked away in a peaceful location, and there is so much to do in the local area and the owners live close by and are very welcoming, and we enjoyed the holiday.

  • "Very enjoyable holiday."

    Quiet location and near shops etc. Very friendly welcome from the owner, giving an explanation of how things worked. Also received a nice welcome pack, including treats for the dog. The property was very comfortable, with all you would need from an holiday home. There were a few minor issues, firstly, the draws in the single bedroom were very dusty. Used the extremely noisy vacuum cleaner to resolve. The string holding the blinds in the conservatory kept disintegrating. The owner did state it was to be fixed. We still enjoyed the holiday, as the location enabled us to visit the places we wanted without having to travel too far. For walkers or cyclists there are plenty of walks cycle routes close by. Also, it was nice to wake up on a morning and watch the wildlife in the garden, while having breakfast.

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.
