Weve stayed here before and it was just as comfortable and cosy as before. Clovers is an ideal base for touring the area. Guisborough has everything you need and fab beaches are nearby.

Last minute booking and so glad we did. Cottage was great, small but everything you needed. Bathroom was lovely with huge bath and shower cubicle, although shower head pleased itself mostly which others have put. Garden was a small shared courtyard, so if taking a dog be prepared. Kitchen lovely but could do with an air fryer for bacon butties as even though I opened the door and extractor was on the smoke alarm went off. The town is lovely and the cottage is opposite the Priory which is free and worth a visit. Great little high street and try Bras Monkey bar, dog friendly unlike Wetherspoons and fabulous choice of beers. Weather thankfully was great and we had a wonderful stay. Would highly recommend and will hopefully return.
