The Cottage, Marske

A really good base for walking the coastal path. By using the excellent public transport we were able to walk from the mouth of the Tees to Runswick Bay in five easy walks. With one exception we were always able to park the car on the road below Cliff Terrace within view of the house, but I expect that this would not always be possible in the height of Summer. The cottage was clean and as described and everything worked perfectly. It was wonderful to be able to sit in bed and see the waves on the beach and we would recommend this property. Being owned by a company rather than an individual the communication was rather impersonal, and I got the impression that messages were responded to by AI rather than a real person. For example we were there there there was no recycling bin and when I contacted the company for advice I just received a copy and paste reply from the house manual. As no useful advice was forthcoming we just had to leave the recycling bagged up in the kitchen.

Location was fab, right on the beach. Nothing we didn’t like about the cottage. Just a shame the small town didn’t have more amenities. But for a short stay had enough.

Lovely cottage and location right by the beach. All nice and clean, good communication from the host throughout.

The house was perfect. We loved the close access to the lovely beach and nice shops and cafés.

Shower die not work, nur bathtub was fine :)

Wonderful location and really lovely house. Had everything we needed and more, very clean and comfortable.

The property was amazing and the location was excellent, we walked into saltburn and also redcar and visited Whitby for the day . The weather was fab too . The cottage was so cosy and quiet , very relaxing The only thing I could say was the shower was a bit hit n miss , and the bed in the smaller room was a little hard but I’m used to memory foam .

Location was absolutely gorgeous. Beach down the road and not far from Marske town centre. Everyone around the area were really nice and treated us like locals. My family are from Marske so it was like I never left. The only downside to this property was unfortunatley, the parking. There is no specific space for number 7 and nobody would allow us to park the car outside their property which I completely understand. Cliff house which is a residential care home allowed us to park there thanks to the lovely manager Stacey.

The location was perfect for us, just a few steps from the beach and not far from public transport. Well furnished and decorated. Good kitchen, nice bathroom. Wonderful view from the front window. Disappointed to learn shortly before travelling that a security deposit was required. It would have been better to pay when booking. It was cold and rainy the first days but we couldn't work out the heating. A file with instructions for some details would be helpful, especially for visitors from abroad.

Beautiful Air bnb, highly recommend. It is a gem. A couple of minor issues, too trivial to mention here, were highlighted to the Host, with promise of being addressed for next guests. We WILL be back. Thank you.

Great location and lovely characterful house. Didn’t have a travel cot which was stated and had to go through Airbnb support to get it sorted. Host and stay replied pretty quick but had issues with communication and sent the house keeper who was dropping off the travel cot to the wrong house so we waited 2 hours before it came which meant it disturbed the whole evening waiting around and not being able to put our child to bed. They didn’t seem that bothered and didn’t give any partial refund for the inconvenience caused. Also we weren’t aware until the day before the booking that we had to pay £25 for accidental damage cover otherwise we wouldn’t get the details to stay. I feel like this needed to be made clearer when booking as it was an added cost or should be part of the cost when booking initially.

I have stayed here twice before and the cottage is lovely in an excellent position. For the first time the kitchen was really lacking, no cleaning products, anywhere in the cottage, no washing up liquid, no kitchen roll. The kitchen was extremely grubby, the kettle microwave and coffee maker were all dirty, the fridge shelves had to be wiped down (just with a wet cloth as there were no cleaning products) and the work tops and chopping board needed a good clean, The ornaments and tv remote in the lounge were very dusty. When I have stayed before the place has been spotless. I had to go and buy some cleaning products the next morning and give the kitchen a good clean. I emailed Host and Stay to let them know and on the evening before I came home a lady appeared with a bottle of washing up liquid!!!!! Meanwhile there was a problem with the blind in the bedroom which had obviously been broken at some time and stuck together with tape. I emailed photos to Host and Stay and explained and they have replied to me so that has been dealt with. It is a shame that this time the kitchen did let the cottage down as it is an important room. But overall the cottage is lovely.

I’m afraid it just was not cleaned to my standard

Great place, right by the beach. Clean, lots of space, quiet. The village has everything you need too. Would definitely come back here.

The Location The Parking

Lovely cottage in a great location ideal for the beach and walking in to the centre. Great walks along the dog friendly beaches. Just a couple of niggles, the bathroom was downstairs but it clearly states on the details it is upstairs which was a little bit annoying. Also the tiled floors were still very wet from cleaning, a wipe over with a dry mop would have been appreciated to avoid any slips. Kitchen missed kitchen roll but apart from that we had a great time and look forward to visiting Marske again in the near future

A great property in a great location with sea views and easy access to the beach. Unfortunately upon arrival the property was filthy and the shower was broken. The host did respond, by sending a cleaner and plumbers but even after re-cleaning the property was still grubby, and the shower was fixed after 2 of my 3 nights staying there.

We stayed at ‘The Cottage’ Marske by the Sea. Wonderful stay. Super location; literally a stone’s throw from the beach. Beautiful, clean cottage, with lots of lovely original artwork in a wonderfully peaceful location. Just the tonic, as my younger brother unexpectedly died back in January. We had a glorious week. Great communication with Charlie from Host & Stay. We’ll definitely be using them again. Many thanks again.

Location was good right next to beach,parked outside the cottage Only had salt but no vinegar no sauces and only 4 tea bags for the weekend no storage for food and you need a blind up at patio windows because if its sunny and you are sat at the table you are blinded by the sun

Beautiful cottage in a great location, loved being so near the sea. Plenty of shops in Marske all within easy walking distance, good transport links (train and bus) and lots of coast to explore on the doorstep. Nothing

This cottage is everything you need, instantly from walking through the door it feels like home, the location is perfect. The host was both informative and friendly recommended lots of places to go. The cottage is perfect for exploring the beach and is only a few minutes away. There is a costal walk into Saltburn or plenty of buses to explore Middlesbrough over to Whitby. A real must stay cottage and we will be back.

The cottage is situated in a lovely, quiet location, you can hear the sea when you are laying in bed at night. Comfortable bed and pillows. Shops and pubs within walking distance. The only downside was lack of basic cleaning materials, we had to go out and buy a scourer and sponge for the kitchen so that we could clean food left on cutlery and eggs on a pan from a previous visitor

Great location and local amenities and overall a nice place to stay. However it was clear the management company had not been into the property recently or had done any checks before arrival. The house was tidy but not clean. There had been a build up on post that had got wet and blocked you opening the front door. The chimney had debris come down and wasn’t clean. The boiler was not working and had to be found and reset. It had clearly not been cleaned properly from the last guest with toothpaste stains still on the mirror and dirt marks still on the floor. Also having to pay a secondary fee for potential breakages when legally you have tental insurance in the UK feels like a rip off fee. Bar these management company oversights the house is very nice and has everything you need or want

Overall, beautiful property in a gorgeous location. Perfect for the beach - walkable in 2 minutes. See view from the main bedroom was gorgeous. Host and stay are a company, I have stayed with before, and I’ve never had an issue with them; the properties could probably be cleaner but they’re not terrible. A few things in the kitchen needed re washing before use, and there was a few spiders / cobwebs around. But nothing that stopped the stay from being enjoyable, the location more than made up for it, and I would stay again.

information provided prior to arrival was first class - no issues - straight in - property was absolutely lovely - we had a great stay nothing

Great location for walking along beach to Redcar or Saltburn. Also North Yorks Moors only short drive away. Property was clean and tidy and had everything you could need. Beautiful view of sunrise from upstairs bedroom with views over the beach and. Sand dunes. No major faults only personal preferences. I prefer an upstairs bathroom and did not like the fact I had to close wooden shutters to stop passers by looking through front window, blinds would have been better.

Lovely cozy place in an amazing location. I will definitely return.

The location and view, but this did not include the parking. The loose sink, loose towel rail, sunken bathroom door, exposed carpet tacks which myself and my son cut our feet on, shower that didn't drain, lack of headboard on children's bed and exposed radiator edge behind the bed, lamp in child's room that could only be turned off at the socket switch and was covered in pillows?!, downstairs TV not tuned in, very small seating area in kitchen. No space immediately inside for shoes, coats etc especially when coming in from the beach.

Great location, perhaps becoming more shabby than chic but overall a nice place.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. The only thing that let it down slightly was the back garden being a bit overgrown and in need of weeding, we would have definitely used this space more had it been a bit more taken care of. Everything else was as described. Plenty of room for my husband and I and our 2 year old. Parking is not really available directly outside the property, however it is readily available on the street leading down to the beach which is a 30 second walk away. The neighbours were also very amenable to us parking outside the cottage to load and unload our car. Overall the cottage is lovely and we would definitely book again!

Location Bedroom upstairs, bathroom downstairs

Good place great location

Perfect

Lovely cottage, great location will definitely be back in the future

Spacious beautifully decorated and right by the beach. The hosts had provided everything you could possibly need and then everything you didn’t realise you needed!!!! Central for visiting the East coast No toilet upstairs. No parking at the actual property. Front door difficult to open - lock needs looking at - but still had a fabulous holiday

This cottage made us smile and relax! Loved the location, perfect beach walking and views. Great attention to detail, very tasteful, light, airy and original decor. Particularly loved the seaside garden and beach combed treasures. We had no problems parking and the neighbours were friendly. We liked it all and had no complaints, so much thought has gone into ensuring comfort and practicality. Only as a minor suggestion, some kitchen cupboard space given over for food storage would be good.

Lovely cosy cottage with private garden. Full of charm filled with seaside curiosities and decor. Excellent facilities with everything you need for a short break.

Host and stay are not customer friendly

A simple place for simple pleasures. Great for the beach.

a great spot I loved being so close to the sea A comfortable bed and a homely free

Wonderful little cottage in the perfect location for the beach and shops. Loved all the art and craft work. Main bedroom at the front is certainly a 'room with a view', however being east facing and with only a flimsy venetian blind it is full of light from the early hours making sleep difficult. The neighbours are all very friendly and we had a great stay.

Very clean,tidy and modern. The cottage was warm with plenty of hot water. The location was great with adequate and safe parking. Nothing.

Very peaceful and exactly what I was hoping for

It was really easy as we didnt need to arrive at a specific time One very small suggestion is to have a handrail on the stairs. We were also hesitant about trying to park outside the property given others' prior comments about it being a problem. It might also be worth mentioning that one of the neighbours cuts through the back garden to get to their back garden.

It was a cottage so no breakfast! It was great ! We will come back We hadn't read instructions properly to use the correct key code!

Some utensils in the kitchen are a little dirty Overall is good

Great location in a lovely terrace of cottages almost on the beach. Fantastic view from the front bedroom whilst having a morning cuppa! Two lovely restaurants: Gilbeys and Rose and Potter. Unfortunately when we arrived the cottage hadn’t been cleaned. However on contacting Host and Stay, they immediately sent a cleaner and paid for us to have a drink and some refreshment whilst the work was being done. When we returned the cottage was much cleaner!

The fact that there was ample space outside property but the neighbours either side made us feel we shouldnt park there this would put us off rebooking this lovely cottage again

n/a low water pressure. electric oven seemed to take ages to heat up? parking was an issue with the neighbours

Wonderful quirky cottage. Perfect location, beautifully furnished and equipped. Really loved our stay here.

Fabulous crafty local artisan decorative items, wonderfully comfortable beds, superb quality bedlinen, Everything that you could imagine needing in a holiday cottage , superb ,gem of a place, rebooked for November Absolutely nothing wrong with the cottage

lovely right by the sea

Very cosy and lovely. My wife and my girls enjoyed it. Literally on the long and vast beach.

The location was amazing! There was an issue with the drainage so the shower took ages to drain and the toilet didn’t flush very well

Lovely cottage, great location. Very well equipped with everything you need. Quality bedding and towels. Beautiful art and craft work dotted around the cottage. We didn’t get to use the garden because of the weather, but it would have been a great place to sit out at the end of a long day on the beach. Good communication with host.

Parking could be a problem in high season

Fantastic location with views over the beach and sea. Fully equipped kitchen, etc. Very clean and tidy. nothing

super clean and well equipped in a beautiful location. not a big thing but the lack of parking wasn’t ideal particularly with a baby - the unloading and loading of the car was more difficult.

The position of the property was fantastic right beside beach . The stairs in the property had no handrail. This was quite difficult for me as a pensioner especially coming down stairs to use the toilet. The tap in the kitchen was very difficult to use. Also although we were advised not to park outside property the neighbours parked across our space making it difficult for us to get our cases into car when leaving.

Lovely house very close to the beach. The heating didn’t work the whole time we were there (a snowy November weekend). However the company did try to get it fixed and provided 3 x electric plug in heaters and a refund. Parking is problematic, neighbours do not want you to park in front of the house. Won’t be staying here again mainly due to parking issue. Owner should have been honest in info on Airbnb, you have to park on an alternative road, not the road the property is on. This was not good for us arriving in the evening when it was dark with sleepy children to carry up a hill.

This property is absolutely lovely, the little touches make it comfortable and homely, and the views from the front rooms of the house give you the most amazing views of the wild sea waves and the breathtaking sunrises x

Fabulous location!

Beautiful location and beautiful house to stay, decorated nicely, essentials provided, clean and travel cot provided when asked. We will definitely be looking at staying again!

Very professional service with Stay. Excellent communication, attentive and would recommend staying in a cottage which they manage.

Beautifully decorated cottage, much more spacious that it first appears, both inside and the garden. Just steps away from the beach, lovely & quiet there late in the day for our little one. Easy lock-box check-in, no problems parking. Friendly neighbours. Coffee/tea supplies. Easy drives to Saltburn/Staithes/Redcar. Marske is a lovely village with pub/supermarkets within 10min walk. The safety gate & toy kitchen were much appreciated for our toddler, thank you!

parking is ok but a bit tight.

Lovely house, great location, practically on the beach. The views overlooking the beach and sea from the property are fantastic and in the main bedroom you get a real treat as you sit in bed with a cuppa (Yorkshire Tea obviously!) in the morning and look out at the sea. The house has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

Great location, great stay, super facilities wouldn't hesitate to book again!

Everything was lovely and clean, we had everything we needed. The bed was so comfortable too! The beach is a stone’s throw away and there are some lovely walks close by. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful house, beautiful location. I loved waking to the sea views from the master bedroom!

Lovely location. Nice for beach walks. Cottage well supplied with everything you need.

A beautiful place, thoughtful touches and we can't wait to re book.

Immaculate accommodation and perfect location
