Gisborough Hall Country House Hotel & Spa in Guisborough, England

Gisborough Hall has 71 individually styled en-suite bedrooms, each offering views of the Cleveland Hills or the hotel grounds. The Old Hall Feature Rooms include original period features from the time of Henry VIII, such as exposed beams and grand fireplaces. The Woodland Wing provides spacious rooms with Molton Brown toiletries and both a bath and large walk-in shower.

The hotel holds an AA Rosette for Culinary Excellence, which is delivered through the award-winning Chaloner's Restaurant that focuses on locally sourced ingredients. De Brus Bar & Grill offers an informal setting with pizzas, steaks, and grilled fish for a relaxed evening. Breakfast is served in the bright dining room with a full cooked menu and buffet options.

Sakura Spa is set within peaceful woodland grounds and offers immersive wellness retreats, spa days, and treatments. The spa includes two outdoor saunas with large picture windows overlooking the woodland, plus outdoor relaxation areas blending with the environment. The Revival Zone provides facials, body treatments, and massages by highly trained therapists, including advanced skin analysis.

The hotel sits on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, a short walk from the moorland and a 10-minute drive from the International Wilton site. The extensive grounds include rose gardens, woodland views, and a terrace where guests can take drinks outdoors. Guisborough's cobbled market town is a 15-minute walk away, and the coastal town of Whitby is 22 miles east via the historic milestone route.

Three luxurious shepherd huts named Pheasant, Partridge, and another sit in a secluded field within the hotel grounds, each with a roll-top bath and a wood-fired outdoor tub. The huts include a hob, coffee machine, and utensils for self-catering, with fire pits provided for outdoor evenings. Pheasant hut offers the most privacy at the end of the row, with clear views of bats flying over the sky window at dusk.
