“Wren's Nest is a lovely little cottage, decorated to an extremely high standard and very quaint.”

It was great to be able to get a very last minute booking. We chose where we were going based on where we could get a booking and were pleasantly surprised by the location and area. Accessible to hills, seaside and a nice town. We really enjoyed ourselves and would go back again.

“This cottage is small but perfect.”

Everything you need is provided. The neighbour was lovely and was a mine of information. The owners provided a welcome basket which also contained dog treats. There is lots to see and a week wasn't enough time to do and see everything. The people we met were fantastic. Can't say anything negative. We plan on coming back next year

Mr Oldham July 2020

“A delightful stay at Wren’s Nest Cottage.”

Perfectly placed to explore the moors and the coast and for the facilities for Guisborough. The cottage is beautifully kept and perfect for 2 people - has everything you could need for a short stay. Many thanks.

Mr Miller December 2019

“It was all perfect but maybe you should make ptential customers aware of how small the cottage is.”

Not a problem but just to be aware.

- Mr Miller, December 2019
Mr Beal November 2019

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

We are so grateful to our hosts for our welcome goodies and for having the lights and heating on for our late arrival.

Mr Newlands October 2019

“Could possibly do with somewhere to hang coats downstairs otherwise spot on.”

- Mr Newlands, October 2019
Mr Shaw July 2019

“Only problem we had was parking, had to leave it overnight in a Car park which cost us extra money on most days.”

Then a 10 minute walk to cottage. All I can say is they need a residents parking permit so people stopping at wrens cottage could park in the street anytime in the day or night. The cottage was very clean and comfy and Neil and Laura were very nice and a big thanks for leaving us a complimentary goodies bag.

Mr Ralston May 2019

“The lounge and kitchen were far smaller than we expected, but the bedroom and bathroom made up for that.”

The owners had left a basket of goodies to get us started which included 2 small bottles of wine and treats for our dogs which was a lovely thought. The shared enclosed yard was a suntrap and we met the lovely neighbours of No 151. However. the yard needed some attention in respect to tidying up. Parking our car could be a problem given that the parking area was on cobbles raised between the main road and the pavement with not a lot of room to manuevour. Given that, it was really central for Guisborough shops, pubs and North Yorkshire and we enjoyed our week.

- Mr Ralston, May 2019
Mr Robinson April 2019

“We were expecting some problems with parking arrangements but as it turned out it all worked out okay, perhaps in summer it may be more of a problem but nothing that can't be overcome.”

The cottage was all we expected from the descriptions and the owners gave us a warm friendly welcome. As usual we were well pleased with all aspects of service received through Sykes.

- Mr Robinson, April 2019
Mrs Cowan March 2019

“Gorgeous little cottage, beautifully decorated and well appointed.”

Lovely town with lots of facilities and shops. Only downside was the noise from the pub - Friday is karaoke night and Sunday had live music which was very loud.

- Mrs Cowan, March 2019
Mrs Wilson March 2019

“Lovely cottage, lovely place,although weather a Was a bit rubbish we had a great time!”

- Mrs Wilson, March 2019
Mr Crossland October 2018

“Wonderful cosy cottage, ideally located near all amenities yet close to the coast and country.”

- Mr Crossland, October 2018
Miss Sweetland October 2018

“The cottage is small but perfect if you’re just looking for a base whilst you go out exploring.”

The pub 2 doors down is full of really friendly locals full of advice about the area and the proximity to all the different beaches was fabulous for us and the dogs. They had a wonderful short break and so did we! The only difficulty for us was the parking but there are spaces available, in front of the pub or around the corner, you are able to park across the street on the verge but we managed to break our bumper on it! Everything else was lovely though, thank you for a lovely stay in a beautiful cottage!

- Miss Sweetland, October 2018
Mr Mansour September 2018

- Mr Finch, July 2018
Mr Wigmore March 2018

“The cottage is a perfect for a couple wanting to have a base to explore the surrounding areas.”

It is small but, that adds to its charm and personality. The hosts are fantastic and very welcoming, with a few goodies to get you off to a good start. We became 'locals' for 2 weeks and nearly everywhere in the town was dog friendly, which was great for our 2. Amazing place, people and holiday - perfect for us celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary!

- Mr Wigmore, March 2018
Mrs Smith March 2018

“Relaxing Weekend”

The moment we stepped into Wrens Nest we felt right at home. The welcome basket was a thoughtful touch and the decor and furnishings gave the whole cottage a touch of class. The cottage is spacious for an old property and restored to a very high standard. Laura and Neil the cottage owners were really helpful with ideas and local knowledge and added that personal touch to our visit. Wrens Nest is ideally situated for excursions into the countryside or for a bit of local touring in beautiful Guisborough. I lovely place well worth a visit.

- Mark A, July 2017

The property

Wren's Nest Cottage is the most perfect excuse for exploring this beautiful area.

The cottage is a delight.

The owner has preserved the charming character of this Grade II listed cottage and added touches of luxury.

The freestanding bath provides an indulgent soak after climbing Roseberry Topping and exploring the Cleveland Hills.

The cottage features original beamed ceilings throughout and the multi-fuel stove in the sitting room adds extra romance to a cosy evening in this lovely retreat.

There is a double bed settee for an additional adult.

Cyclists will be in seventh heaven here at the foot of the Cleveland Hills and there is secure storage on site after a day's easy or challenging cycling.

The large shared yard is south-facing and is an ideal place to enjoy some sunshine and a cup of coffee.

Guisborough is often described as the gateway to the North York Moors and this ancient market town, listed in the Domesday Book, is steeped in history.

Gisborough Priory dates back to the 12th century.

There is no shortage of amazing attractions and events to visit across the area with something for absolutely everyone whatever their age and interest.

Rich in history and heritage there is an abundance of castles, abbeys, historic houses and museums.

The North York Moors offer lots of choices from a countryside picnic, a hike on the moors, a trip to the beach or following in the footsteps of Harry Potter on the North York Moors Steam Railway.

The delights of the Yorkshire coast are within an easy drive with Whitby, Runswick Bay and Staithes a must-see.

The drive to Helmsley via Rievaulx Abbey is highly recommended and this delightful market town has boutiques, delis, cafes and superb dining at a choice of hotels and pubs.

An excellent cottage in a wonderful location.

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.
