“We had a very comfortable stay in a lovely cottage.”

Beds and chairs are comfortable, shower is good, TV excellent, and wifi fast. We parked on a side street and had no difficulty with that.

“Well equipped property and situated within walking distance of an extensive range of shops and amenities.”

Indeed the local pub was only a few paces away! Parking a bit of a lottery but we encountered no problems at all during the week of our stay. Owner very attentive to the needs of guests and readily contactable. Certainly considering another visit in the not too distant future.

“Accommodation clean and more spacious than I expected and few minutes on main st to the town centre.”

Many shops and mostly all pubs were very dog friendly. Parking is available first come first serve across the street and was always available. Great location and base for parks and walks. Redcar, Marske, Saltburn by the Sea and Whitby all within 30 minute drive. Enjoyed our time immensely and would come back to this very friendly little market town.

“Really lovely place, spotlessly clean and everything we needed.”

Guisborough is lovely with some nice restaurants and takeaways, while there we drove to Saltburn, Marske-on-sea, Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay and Scarborough which was the furthest. Really good location to explore the cost from. We could always get a parking space right across the road. Had a lovely holiday and would definitely come back to White Rose Cottage. Thank you.

“The only negative I would say is that there was no mirror in the back bedroom, my father had the front bedroom so found it very difficult to do my hair and make-up with no mirror, but apart from that, the cottage was very nice with everything that you could possibly need, with some groceries on arrival and a nice bottle of wine.”

“The cottage was absolutely fine .”

The only problem we had was the fact that the temperature is well below average and at times we had problems getting warm . There were no instructions about the central heating although we did eventually managed to fiddle our war through .

“White Rose Cottage is a lovely homely cottage with a home from home feel.”

It is nicely decorated and has everything you need - short of a larger bowl for fruit/ salad but that was all

“On arrival at the cottage, we were greeted by an extremely dirty white front door.”

When we got inside the cottage, there were damp patches on a number of the walls, with paint peeling in some areas. The cottage was spacious and light and had all the facilities that we needed. However, the cleanliness of the cottage was not satisfactory. The bin in the bathroom had not been emptied and was full of used sanitary towels, the toaster looked as if someone had just had toast and left crumbs everywhere, there was dried food debris inside the microwave and mould inside the bread bin. I messaged the owner who did visit the following morning to clean. However, due to the covid 19, I would have expected a higher standard of cleanliness and due to this, I would return to the cottage.

“Enjoyed our Christmas stay in White Rose Cottage, nice and warm, cosy and appreciated the tree and fizz!”

“Immaculate condition of property and closeness to all local ammenities.”

- Anne, October 2019
Catherine June 2019

“Nice cottage but layout is a bit strange, very small sitting room at front of the house on the street so constant flow of people going past the window.”

Would strongly recommend blinds on this window as we had to keep the curtains closed permanently for privacy. There is no toilet or bathroom upstairs and stairs extremely steep for older people. Kichen n bathroom downstairs lovely and nice patio area.

“Visited Guisborough in Teesside with my daughter in early March for a birding holiday.”

It was an excellent location for many birding sites in the area. Overall we were very pleased with the cottage. It was immaculately clean, it was warm, with plenty of hot water, good quality towels, and beds comfortable. Our only criticism was absence of one or two kitchen basics - important if you are self catering. We would have liked a very large saucepan and a casserole dish, and maybe a couple of tea trays but these are minor points, and we managed. A mirror in the second bedroom would be good. Could we suggest that more guidance about car parking would help future guests - although in the event we didn't have any problem putting the car just across the street. Also instructions about what to with our rubbish and recycling. Having said all that we were quite happy and had a lovely time in a very beautiful part of the U.K.

“The cottage was great, clean, good facilities to use and had enough room for 4 people.”

Guisborough has great places to visit. Would certainly recommend this property if you are looking for somewhere to stay in Guisborough.

“We had a lovely Christmas stay, the cottage was snug and warm with a well equipped kitchen for preparing a Christmas dinner.”

It's close to shops and restaurants, with easy parking along the main road. The Christmas tree and welcome fizz from Phil was a very nice touch!

“We had a lovely break, the cottage was very nice, clean and welcoming.”

“This cottage was adequate , maybe we are now spoiled with the quality/ facilities of the Best cottages we have used ( ie The Old Dairy , Gainford , Ulverston .”

Alison September 2018

“Ideal location near shops and pubs.”

Perfect base for travelling to Saltburn, Staithes and Whitby. The cottage itself is spacious and has everything you need for your stay. The beds are very comfortable. The shower was so easy to use and very powerful. The rear courtyard was a lovely suntrap. We found a lovely place call The Monk on the same street. So relaxing and friendly for a chilling drink. Check it out.

“The location of white rose cottage was really good in guisborough.”

so close to all amenities and loads of walks for us and the dog. We enjoyed days out at Whitby,runswick bay and redcar and we hit it lucky with the weather as well.

Marieke August 2018

“We really liked the facilities in this cottage.”

The fact that there was a dryer was really handy with the little clothes we had with us. The location was also very nice. In the centre with choise of a lot of shops. Even a 24 hour Coop nearby. We would recomend this cottage.

Sarah August 2018

“Cottage was amazing, home from home!”

Everything you need for your holiday including lovely comfy beds and a great shower! Cottage is ideally situated in the village, very close to the shops (Morrison's a 5 min walk, Sainsbury's and Iceland 10 min walk) Guisborough priory ruins in the village were lovely. Guisborough forest has lovely walks on your doorstep. Lovely beaches closeby Saltburn about 20min drive, Scarborough and Whitby about an hours drive. Plenty of takeaways in the village and market days on Tuesday, Thursdays and Saturdays. We did have slight concerns about parking at the cottage as it doesn't have it's own private parking but there was parking across the road (first come first served) or up a side road close by. We will definitely go back.

Anne June 2018

“White Rose Cottage situated in Guisborough was a good place for access to the coast & Yorkshire countryside.”

The town had all the shops & supermarkets you could wish for as well as plenty of eateries.

- Anne, June 2018
John June 2018

“We thought the location of White Rose Cottage within this charming market town, Guisborough was excellent.”

Being so close to the shops, pubs and restaurants was a bonus. The facilities that had been provided at White Rose Cottage were beyond our expectations, and as a result, we were able to have a comfortable and relaxing break. We found the parking to be quite easy. Guisborough is an ideal location to explore this part of Yorkshire. Following this experience we are more likely to choose to rent a cottage than stay in a hotel. We would certainly return to Sykes Holiday Cottages again.

“We had the most amazing four weeks whilst staying at White Rose Cottage from 27th April to 25th May The cottage,in Guisborough, was so central both for the coast.”

the moors and the dales and the town itself had every ameniity you could wish for. The cottage was fantastic, snug and warm, with a very comfortable bed!!! It was spotlessly clean and had everything you could wish for in a holiday home.. We took our cocker spaniel and it was very dog friendly with an enclosed back yard, which was south facing with table and chairs for sitting out. I would strongly recommend this property to family and friends and certainly look forward to returning in the future.

About the location

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.
