Victoria Cottage

We had an enjoyable stay and loved the location of the cottage.

We found lots of dust in parts of the cottage in particular the front single bedroom, did not look like the floor in that room had had a thorough clean for a while. The parking was really not good as very tight to access,. After unloading our luggage we parked in a nearby pub car park for the rest of our stay ( The Ship) as we were told this would be ok. Loved the area but would not return because of the issues mentioned.

Great place, been a few times now.

I tried to fix the soap dish in the bathroom — it has a snap on it though, so I slid it up; the snap was already there. Besides that, and the fact that I never had a text or call saying the code for when I left, I just used the code I was given once there. All was sorted. Plan on coming back again this year.

This is a lovely older house with lots of character and charm.

Unfortunately for us the stairs were a challenge for most of our party, although we were aware the property had stairs before our stay. The property has everything you could need for a stay, but we were pleased that we had taken along our own bath towels as the ones provided were on the small size. The beds for us were uncomfortable and very hard and dated and the noise from the road did have an impact on us despite the double glazing. And it has to be noted that access to the property is not for the faint of heart, although there is a space to park at the back it is difficult to negotiate the tight entrance and other cars that are parked. There are lots of lovely places to visit around the area with lovely beaches near doorstep.

We enjoy staying at this cottage - it's the second time we've stayed here in two years.

It has everything you need and is ideally situated in the quiet but lovely little town of Marske.

The property could have been cleaned better, especially in the kitchen (inside microwave and fridge).

The road is very busy and noisy. We were a group of 2, we were given 3 hand towels and 1 bath towel, despite requesting another this didn’t materialise. Great location for shops, pubs, restaurants and the beach. Good for travelling around NE Yorks. Lovely comfortable and well equipped accommodation.

The cleaner had failed to clean the plug hole in the bath, so when removing my own hair I got a wad of someone elses.

There was only 1 small hand towel per person left not as described 2 bigger towels per person. I found 2 tablets in the main bedroom on the floor and furniture hadn't been moved for cleaning as there were old wrappers under the table in the living room. Furthermore there was underwear left in the washing machine. The property itself was well presented. For comfort they should maybe consider changing the mattresses as these were acceptable but not necessarily as comfortable i would have preferred.

Excellent stay everything worked as it should and the beds were very comfortable.

Suggest reversing into the allocated parking and approach from the roundabout side into the alley and may well be staying again later in the year.

We were very disappointed in this cottage as it needs some TLC in several places such as the blind in the bathroom was missing, the soap dish in the shower was broken, a lot of the drawers & doors in all of the rooms didn't work properly, the storage cupboards were untidy inside, the toaster was rusty & no towels or tea towels in the kitchen.

There were no hand towels in the bathroom, only 2 bath towels & this was inadequate. The car parking space was very difficult to manoeuvre in & out of & the slabs laid for the space were a bit hazardous as they need attention. On the plus side as the weather wasn't too good at least the house was warm & comfortable as were the beds.

It was a nice roomy warm comfortable property to explore the surrounding area.

The traffic was quite noisy in the night, we didn't realise it was on such a busy main road which might be ok for some.

The house had everything you needed and and the location was perfect , however it wasn't clean , I had to clean the place on arrival there were even dirty towels in the bathroom , none of the floors had been hoovered , chips under the sofa , greasy cooker , dirty toaster and microwave , not really acceptable when you are coming on holiday.

A lovely property in an excellent location for shops, days out and local pubs.

Also very good for dog owners. Their are local businesses that welcome dogs and it is convenient for the park and the beach.

Lovely property, clean, well equipped and homely.

The house was much larger than we expected and really liked the safe private parking at the rear. We will book again next year.

Great property.

Had a wonderful week made all the better by good weather. In walking distance of shops, lively bars, beach. However yard and parking area require a tidy up

Handy for all the things you need like beach centre and neighbouring towns of Redcar and Saltburn easy parking at back of house and good sized classic house to stay in.

Marske is a nice town to stay in with plenty pubs and places to eat with a nice beach

Always enjoy our stay here.

It's well located for us to visit family and friends. It's also very handy for the park which the dog is pleased about.

The cottage is well maintained and equipped.

The village is so friendly.

Lovely house right in town.

Comfortable, clean , with everything you need. Easy walking to lots of things including beach. Great area for exploring. A really wonderful place to stay.

In need of some maintenance, ie, window gear and hinges as some windows won't open, frontroom window won't full close, so very noisy with being on a main road, NO bathroom blind !

Furniture smelled of dogs,

Lovely cottage, very clean comfortable and welcoming.

Would return.

Loved the house, spacious, pleasant, generally very clean & comfortable though some of the crockery, cutlery etc not as clean as it could be (previous holiday makers not washing up properly).

Convenient location for beach & moors & local food shopping. Handy dog park over the road. Parking space a hazard! The chain tripped me up on arrival & I was lucky not to break a wrist or rib. Weeds & nettles need clearing & chain removing. As it's dog friendly I suggest the occasional spraying of property with anti flea preparation. I found a flea on my dog (most unusual) after we left. May have picked it up elsewhere but unlikely. In spite of minor gripes I would definitely return & recommend to others.

Another pleasant stay at this cottage.

Hope we can return later in the year

I was a bit concerned about the property before we arrived, based on other reviews.

However whilst I acknowledge the comments made about décor and furnishings, I think that it was in keeping with the age of the property, which is very spacious. There were no issues about the cleanliness of the property nor the equipment/necessities required for a homely and comfortable stay. Parking is a little awkward if you have a large car. Directly opposite the house is a lane into a small park, ideal for children and dogs as so close. Marske is a great location with all amenities and a great beach. We are regularly in Marske so will be looking to book here again.

Cottage is in need of a deep clean, maintenance and money spending on it.

Outside needs maintaining, weeding, no room left in outside building for bikes as advertised, full of stuff! Bathroom blind should be binned, bathroom tap turns around when you turn it on, handrail coming loose, also key safe needs replacing as difficult to use. It's a shame that the owners are not keeping up with maintaining the property as it is spacious and ideally located, but looking back in the visitors comments book, looks like an ongoing issue!

A very comfy and clean house (not a cottage) with everything you could possibly need for a good holiday.

The beds were really comfortable. I was a little disappointed with regards to the TV - the channels were very limited. Everything else was just perfect.

We had an enjoyable and comfortable stay.

The cottage could do with a little TLC around the house, e.g. a lot of the curtain poles were loose, and the front door steps need weeding but otherwise great location, but we hadn’t appreciated that the road it is on is such a busy road and the double glazing doesn’t seem to cut out the noise. However, the house is large and offers a great place to explore from. We loved the local area and beach.

The location of the property can not be faulted , I think it should be highlighted more that the property is on a busy road .

When the double glazed windows are shut its fine but open it is very noisy . Effort has been made with a nice new kitchen and new down stairs flooring , but still the same old fashioned furniture , saggy old sofa and overused mattresses . Most people would not choose to have any of the furnishings in there own homes - clearly charity shop purchases - who buys dark wood furniture these days . The space inside the property is more than sufficient and can not be criticised ,the outside yard is more than adequate - the exterior presentation needs some attention - front garden just full of dead flowers and weeds , out back also weeds covering the flower bed. , huge tall weeds growing on top of the wall - splitting the brick work . The internet is also a massive issue - the Smart TV is unable to connect to it so the choice of channels is very poor - multiple entries in comments book complaining about it - just sort it out . When the property is on offer at a discounted price I WOULD book again , but I would not be willing to pay full price again - there are many more properties now coming up for holiday rental in Marske which are way better presented and cared for than this one. I have stayed in this property several times before because for me the interior space suits my needs - however in a growing holiday rental market I think this property is going to need have more investment to keep up with its new competition soon .

Lovely Victorian town house in great location for town & beach.

With a little bit of TLC it could be even better. Downsides, cleanliness was really not good enough, on one bed sheets had obviously been slept in and not changed,while before crockery was used it needed washing with food deposits left on plates etc. Comfort wise, mattresses were not in the best condition and would definitely benefit from renewal. Overall with these things corrected this would make a wonderful holiday let.

Great sized house in a good location with a secure back yard for our dog.

Easy walk to the beach, great for dogs. Road noise louder than expected and street light very bright in front bedroom. Plenty of facilities in village and all within walking distance. Had a great week.

We had a lovely week in Victoria Cottage.

With high ceilings it felt very spacious for 3 adults and a dog and plenty of comfortable seating in the evening. It was well equipped, we had everything we needed. We found a quieter walk to the beach accessed opposite the cottage which suited our nervous dog well to be away from traffic and allowed a gentle entry to the beach. Easy walks along the beach to Redcar and Saltburn, road trips to the Moors and Staithes highly recommended.

Victoria Cottage is a lovely comfy house very clean, tidy and very well equipped it even has it's own parking space and lovely little enclosed yard with an outside loo.

Only little downside is the sitting room takes a lot of heating to make it warm enough to sit in, it could do with little heater to save having central heating on constantly. We do love staying here so convenient for shops coast and fantastic chinese over the road would highly recommend it.

Overall very comfortable and convenient.

Lovely cottage with everything you need for a comfortable holiday.

Well located in Marske village within walking distance of all the local amenities including the beach. Staying here made me want to come back to Marske to live.

Great cottage and helpful owners.

We enjoyed staying there very much.

No WIFI !

I had seen feedback for the couple of months before we visited stating issues with the WIFI and was very disappointed to find it didnt work during our stay. Messaged key contacts who acted surprised and promised to contact the supplier but that was pretty much the extent of it. Booked the cottage as it had 3 bedrooms, dog friendly, location and as it had WIFI. The cottage isnt a 'wow' but perfectly fine, the road isnt as noisy as people have previously stated and parking at the back was okay but I found driving up and then reversing into the slot best as I started to 'ground' the underside of the car when going on forward. The furniture upstairs is very old, it works and serves its purpose but is outdated. There are loads and loads of pictures and paintings dotted around the property, not one appeared to be hanging straight ! The park over the road is great for the dog, supermarket really near and the village is lovely and its a good base to explore the local area. Will go to Marske again but would look at alternative rentals.

Wi-Fi performance was intermittent and we had a problem with the heating which was fixed satisfactorily.

Location was a good touring base and also local amenities were good, although possibly due to the time of year a few restaurants were closed during the week

The location was good for both the coast and for exploring the North Yorkshire moors

We had a lovely stay at this cottage.

I would recommend it and I would stay again. I would though suggest that the owners pull the weeds out of the front garden and tidy up at the back, weeds etc as it just spoils it a bit but apart from that, no complaints

The road this property is on is extremely busy and fast moving The house itself is abit of a mis match, furniture in the bedrooms is fit for purpose but could do with being newer ( draws stick nothing matches doors hard to open) The parking area isnot the best kept slabs moving chain broken bollards down Wifi none existent The area itself really exceeded expectations and made up for the few problems we had

Listed as having WiFi which it didn’t.

Previous visitors had had issues the month before and still wasn’t rectified by our visit. Contacted the owner but didn’t seem too interested. Towel and sheets missing on arrival, left it cleaner than when we arrived. Lovely area, great local amenities and beach walks. Good base for visiting Whitby and surrounding areas.

For a family of 2 adults and two children this is ideal.

Apart from being situated on a very busy main road. Local buses run from Middlesborough to Whitby (and return) calling at all places on the way and are very cheap compared to other places (so you can give the car a rest and enjoy the views). Also the local beaches stretch to Redcar going north and Saltburn to the south.

been here before had nice stay cottage has everything you need

Almost everything good except an unresolved problem with the wi fi Would book again

We had never been to Marske before and would certainly go again.

The cottage was brilliant, the people very friendly and despite some facilities still closed due to Covid it did not stop our enjoyment

A lovely cottage once we managed to get in (our problem - not theirs)!

Despite it being on a main road it was quiet and the beds were comfy! The parking space around the back takes a bit of negotiating with other vehicles parked in the vicinity, but it is great to have a designated parking space right outside the back door! One thing we found strange was that we couldn't use the front door, which was a bit of a concern in case of fire, but the windows in the front room open and I guess that would be a way out! There was everything you need within the property and some nice places to eat close by! If you have a dog, then right opposite the house is a green area which our dog loved! Marske is a very nice place and the people are friendly! Its only a short distance from Redcar and the brilliant Saltburn! Petrol is be cheaper here than in the East Riding, which is a bonus! Overall, really enjoyed our stay! Andrea has done a brilliant job - it was the first time we had visited the area, but it won't be the last! Just a tip - if you rely on your phone for everything, just make a paper note of all the details incl the entry code and Andreas phone number, then you won't have the problems we did when my phone broke right outside the property! Thank you Andrea! xx

Loveley cottage, well situated for public transport and alll ameneties.

Very comfortable and wel equipped. Could maybe do with an electric or gas fire in sitting room, which was a very large room and took a long time to heat for comfortable sitting. It was lovely when fully heated! Good TV reception and had all necessary channels, inc. Prime and Netflix. Lovely comfortable bed with superb bedding. Good parking spavce though a bit difficult to manouver into back street. Lovely little back yard, the outside loo was an added bonus. Overall a lovely staqy in a nive area. Look forward to returning sometime in near future.

We have stayed where several times and know what to expect .

If you want the lap of luxury this is not for you - but the property is spacious and convenient for Marske and you can get to all shops and pubs in 5 mins . It has a handy parking space around the back but will only fit up to a medium sized car and does take a bit of practice swinging in . Directly over the road is a park so handy for the dog . About 10 mins walk to beach which is fantastic and the reason we come back . Tons of free parking up near the beach if you don't want to walk and also toilets there . We have been about 5 times to this property and I am comfortable staying there now - but I think they should invest in a new three piece suite and new mattresses - but the same can be said in many rental properties we have stayed in.

We love this area but would normally stay with friends but under the current circumstances we had to find other accommodation and this was perfect

The Holiday Home was on a very busy main road and the description failed to mention this.

The noise at times was unbearable. The shower leaked and the soap dish was broken. There were no instructions on how to use any of the appliances. The house was rather shabby.

cottage lovely and clean only niggle curtains in main bedroom far to light had to put black bags on window and i know it cant be helped but soo noisy

Great holiday the cottage met expectations as we have stayed in this cottage twice before and already booked for next spring Loved the place and countryside and beaches locally

Lovely cottage rooms are much bigger than they look on the photographs.

Very clean. Well equipped although lots of miss matched plates and cups but plenty to use.

Fantastic cottage already booked for two weeks in this cottage again, only improvement would have been internet.

It was booked has a cottage and turned out to be a three bedroom terraced house.

nice part of the country to visit very clean lots of places to visit will return to the north very good people are very friendly lovely pub to visit in marske by the seait is called the claridon the most spotlis pub i have visited highly recomended

We had a great holiday in Marske, such a lovely little place with very good local facilities and plenty to do in and around the area.

The cottage was much bigger than we had expected, and had everything we needed for a comfortable weeks holiday. The beach is about a gentle 10 minute walk away, and is spotlessly clean - you can walk along it to Saltburn in one direction and Redcar in the other, and both are worth the effort, Saltburn in particular is a lovely place to visit. Whitby is about a 30 minute drive away, and is as good you would expect but probably very busy. Car parking at the cottage is in a reserved spot behind the property, which is very useful - but be warned access is quite tight - we have an e-class coupe so not the biggest car in the world, but a reasonable size. So if you have a bigger car you might want to bear this in mind. All in all we had a lovely time and have no reservation in recommending Victoria Cottage to anyone considering a holiday in the area, especially if you have a dog who loves walking / playing on the beach.

Perfect location for exploring this beautiful area.

Short walk from lovely beach of which you could stroll along to Saltburn and Redcar. Returning to the cottage, which was warm and cosy, with its sun trap court yard was always pleasant.

Comfortable and well appointed Victorian terraced house.

Outside toilet and some garden furniture. Suggested a radio in the bedroom and a cafetiere. Would advise future guests to go past the house to the roundabout and approach the very narrow entrance to parking area from the opposite side of the road. Some traffic noise especially in the morning as the road is busy but all in all a good spot.

Msrske is a great place to stay, not commercialised, two dog friendly pubs.

2 small supermarkets , great chip shop and the best beaches for dog walking. This cottage has everything you need for a great holiday stay

A lovely homely terraced cottage.

Although set on the main High Street, it does have parking which is always a bonus at a seaside town. Dog friendly area. Excellent location for amenities like pubs, shops etc and within walking distance to the sea. It was one of those properties you could visit and stay again. We loved it.

Everything was as expected.

Location good and 'cottage' comfortable for 4 adults and 2 dogs. No carpets to worry about. The cooker is not very good, especially the grill. Local amenities excellent. Everything you would need on the doorstep. Good pubs and shops.

Lovely house, much bigger than expected.

Loved it all

we love marske for the town and easy access to the beach.

everything is on the door step. our 2 spaniels love the beach

we have used this cottage at least 4 times and always been very happy.

A comfortable property in a convenient location, good public transport.
