"Spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated, very well equipped cosy cottage."
Great location for visiting the surrounding area. Marske has a lovely beach and a coastal walk to neighbouring Saltburn. Staithes, Guisborough, Runswick Bay, Roseberry Topping, Northallerton, Great Ayton all within easy reach and well worth a visit.

"Overall we had a lovely week and the cottage was perfect for our needs, near beautiful beaches for walks, on a good bus route so we could walk further along the coast and bus back."
Also a good supermarket only a few minutes walk away.
The cottage was more spacious than we expected and the bathroom lovely, especially the big bath. The conservatory a nice area to sit. We stayed during very hot weather but the cottage did not get too hot.The bed was very comfy and it was nice to have the welcome pack. There were plenty of little extras including toilet rolls, kitchen roll, hand soap dispensers and tea and coffee.
A few tweaks would make the cottage perfect. The garden area was very overgrown which was not as shown in the photo and the area needed a good sweep and tidy. There were no blinds in the bathroom and kitchen windows which would be a real privacy problem in winter when it gets dark early. The carpets were nice but the hard floors were not clean.
Overall a lovely cared for cottage in a nice quiet area with the bonus of a private parking space. Marske by the sea is a hidden gem.
Thanks for your review. Pleased you liked the facilities, cottage and location. We have been allowing the green area to grow into a wild garden but with the sunshine it has grown wilder than expected so will give it a cut back soon. The leaves do blow into the garden though. The hard floors had all been steam mopped before you arrived? Pleased you enjoyed your stay.

"We booked a last minute short stay at Salt cottage."
Firstly thank you for providing a lovely pet free property. We don't have pets and my husband is allergic, so this is a must for us. The cottage was very nicely presented and more spacious than we anticipated. We instantly felt at home. The conservatory and outdoor seating were great and helped us make the most of the good weather. Marske itself really surprised us, with plenty of amenities, shops, bars, cafes and restaurants and the bonus of being only a short walk to the beautiful beach. We wished we could have stayed longer. There is so much to see and do nearby, and down the coast. We would not hesitate to book again, definitely for longer next time!
Thanks so much for the lovely review and we do look forward to you coming back and enjoying the area and our cottage. We have allergies too so really pleased you were able to enjoy a pet free stay :-)

"We had a good stay but sadly a major issue was the poor cleanliness of the kitchen and living room floors."
They were very dirty. The rug in the living room was also very dirty and had not been cleaned. We did use the floor mop but it was still very dirty. It really needs a proper scrub down. In the end we brought slippers and my 10 month old baby we had to ensure was never placed directly on the floor.
Minor issues:
Toilet seat in ensuite is lose
No hair dryer
Parking seems to be an issue as neighbors not happy with our 2nd car and asked us to park over at the CoOp (which we did). We had parked out the way but they seem to struggle due to other cars to manoeuvre in and out of their drive. I would suggest stating there is only parking for 1 car and additional parking can be found eg CoOp on holiday description and folder.
The cottage did however have good facilities, well equipped kitchen, good clean bathrooms. Just a real shame the kitchen and living room floor were terribly dirty.

"What a superb holiday cottage!"
This was our second visit and it didn't disappoint. The new bathroom was amazing and both the showers were excellent. The cottage was spotless and is extremely well equipped. The owners had thought of everything. The welcome pack with the lemon cake was very welcome after a long journey. The cottage is well placed for the beach and local restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.
So lovely to hear that and we are delighted you liked the new bathroom too! Thanks for taking the time to leave such wonderful feedback

"Lovely stay in Marske by the sea!"
The cottage was fully equipped with literally everything you need. Great to have milk coffee and cake on arrival!
Very handy location to explore the area. Lots of shops on the high street if self catering and restaurants/ takeaways if not. A regular bus service took us to Whitby with stops along the way to Staithes and Runswick Bay. Will def be back!

"We really enjoyed our stay at Salt Cottage."
Had everything you needed. Main bathroom was amazing. Lovely big shower. Well equipped throughout. Morning coffee in the sunny conservatory was a great start to the day. Thanks for the lemon drizzle cake which went down well. Ideally situated and although just off the High Street in Marske it was very quiet. The owner was very accommodating. Great Sunday lunch at the local pub and two good restaurants just a stones throw away as well as the usual take aways. Plenty of good walks too.

"This was a much needed break for 2 aging "carers" and it met all our requirements."
The beds were lovely and comfortable as were the sofa's. The property was clean and warm and the kitchen adequately stocked. From the property details I wasn't sure if a dishwasher was included so in case anybody else isn't clear......there is a dishwasher. Yey.
.
We were even lucky with the weather especially on Feb 15th when we took a stroll along Scarborough sea front. The sun was shining and it was warm at 18c with a lovely warm sea breeze.
.
For those with children, the garden is small but secure and there's a gate which leads onto a footpath with access to what looked like a well equipped children's park and also another "gym" park for those that like a good work out.
.
We loved the ultra modern bathroom with super shower and large bath and the en-suite shower room and downstairs toilet were a bonus as well.
.
The hosts must have known that lemon drizzle cake is my favourite because they very kindly left us one......thankyou. ;-)
.
The local area is also very well served with very many different retailers and all within walking distance.....and the people are lovely and friendly.
Would we consider booking again? Yes we would.....without a doubt. :-)
What an absolutely lovely review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your well-deserved break. You can't beat a lemon drizzle cake. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave these comments. You are most welcome back any time. Best wishes ;-)

"This is a brilliantly situated cottage, well maintained and tastefully furnished."
Its near shops, pubs, restaurants and childrens play park, and only 10mins walk to beach. I found the host to be very generous and thoughtful with welcome pack of assortment
of teas, coffees, sugar, milk and cake. It was also a refreshing change to have ample supply of such things as soap powder, cleaning product and toilet rolls, without having to immediately run out purchase them ourselves, as often is the case. I was very impressed by the whole set up of the property. I would love to visit again and would not hesitate to recommend this property to my family and friends. Many thanks for a great holiday.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such lovely comments - we are so pleased you enjoyed the cottage and enjoyed the location too - you can't beat those beach walks. We look forward to seeing you again.

"We had a lovely holiday at Salt Cottage, this holiday home beats the rest by a long way."
Super comfortable with quality fixtures and fittings, beautifully decorated and accessorised throughout. Lots of games and entertainment at the cottage to keep kids occupied on rainy days. The location was great, with Saltburn and Redcar within walking distance and only a short walk to a supermarket, the local playground and plenty of places to eat out, Home From Home. Would recommend this property to anyone.
Thanks so much for your lovely comments - we are delighted you enjoyed your stay and liked what we have done to make it a home from home. Hope to see you again soon!
