  Many ,many thanks to John and Helen for making my winter break so enjoyable. I visited lots of places and had many meet ups with family and friends. I am looking forward to returning next year.

  Enjoyable walks to the beach. Very convenient location for the baker, butcher, and grocery. Quick drives to Saltburn and Redcar. Having your own parking spot was perfect. Paul was lovely and we very much enjoyed our stay, if we needed to be in the area in the future, we would definitely inquire again.

  It was only a few minutes walk to either the Co-op or Sainsburys Local. It was well equipped and very clean and comfortable especially the beds.

  Beds were very comfortable and heating easily adjusted (November). A tiny kitchen but everything needed is there. The owner is local and very happy to help with any problems. The cottage is situated behind the main street so is handy for local shops and take aways. It's also only 10 minutes walk from the beach or a short drive (or long walk) from Redcar and Saltburn.

  The cottage is well situated and there is lots to do in the area. Handy to have a car parking space right near the front door although the Lane from the High Street is a bit tight. The cottage is small, especially the kitchen but there is everything you need for a comfortable stay. Oven gloves would be appreciated but overall I would recommend staying at the Stab.

  Husband was particularly pleased with the size of the tv which is usually minuscule in most properties. Marske is a lovely village and the local shops are worth a look. The beach is lovely too and would be great for big and little kids alike, with a wide sandy beach along with pebbly parts for fossil hunters.

• "We were very impressed by "The Stables"."

  It is comfortable, very well equipped, and so clean, everywhere...in fact, the bathroom really sparkles with cleanliness! The beds are very comfortable so we all slept well! The cottage is hidden from the road, so it's very private, and there's a little patio with tables and chairs to allow guests to relax outside. There are plenty of shops within walking distance, and of course the beach is nearby. A lovely welcome pack was provided, which was a nice surprise. We hope to spend another holiday there and have no hesitation in recommending "The Stables" to family and friends. Thank you for a lovely relaxing week's holiday!

• "The cottage was very clean."

  Furnishings and decor were modern and well kept. The welcome gifts were thoughtful and appreciated. Unfortunately though, we felt that the outside picture and description are misleading as it appears the cottage is completely detached. It isn't as it's joined to a row of garages, each with their own parking. Vehicles came and went. As we had specifically looked for a detached property, and thought that 'courtyard' meant space around it, this was disappointing. Although we had no noise from the garages, we unfortunately did from the surroundings. This included the neighbour opposite who worked unsocial hours. We were woken most mornings between 0600 and 0630 and also disturbed after 2330. Of course, it's his job but, as his van was so close to the property (and noise echoed around the courtyard) the slamming of doors and engine start up was not what we wanted for our break. Another van also came and went, parked just next to the property as it was involved in building work opposite. The shower room was beautifully clean and modern, however the hot flow in the shower and sink were very poor. We mentioned this to the owner who said he would get his son to look at it but we heard no more. If he did look at it, it made no difference. The lack of information in the property was surprising.There was no greeting or information about how things worked. Not everyone would know to look under the router to find the WiFi code, for example. The same applied to the electric heaters. Never having used them before, they took some fiddling to get right. There was information about the cooker and microwave in a kitchen drawer but also for a microwave that wasn't there? There were some leaflets in a rack but some were out of date: a 2017 bus timetable for example. Had it really been there for nearly 3 years? We loved Marske: it has everything you need for a holiday including a friendly pub, The Ship, and some excellent restaurant choices. Everyone we met in the area's restaurants, shops and attractions was friendly and couldn't do enough for you. The surrounding area and beach are lovely. Unfortunately, as beautiful as the property is inside, it wouldn't be for us again.

  My husband is disabled, as it is single storey it is brilliant, well equipped, wonderful. He uses a mobility scooter, so being able to park just outside the property is excellent, and we can walk/scooter from there to many places. The weather was brilliant and over the week we were able to cover over 50 miles in the surrounding areas !!! We will be back, would highly recommend.

• "No-one met us at the cottage on arrival."

  I had the briefest of conversations with the owner on the phone before we went and was just told that the cottage would be open and the keys would be on the table. That was it. No instruction book re. the various facilities e.g. heating system - we only discovered on the last day that the place had underfloor heating! We had no idea. This didn't matter as the electric panel heaters were very efficient and it wasn't a cold week. But some instructions on this would have helped. I presume that the 'owner' is the chap who owned/worked at the hairdressing salon opposite but he didn't make that clear at the beginning of the week. He was the one who, much later in the week, by chance met us, asked if everything was OK and told us incidentally about the underfloor heating! It's just an issue of a little bit more printed information is needed along with meeting and greeting guests. The place itself was great - 100% clean, well-equipped, quiet, convenient, warm, good kitchen facilities etc. so no complaints at all on that score. Excellent television with Sky if you should want that. We also had access to a garage where we could safely store our bikes. The double bed was a bit 'soft' for my liking. Maybe a new mattress should be considered. Other than would recommend both Sykes Cottages generally and this cottage in particular. A fascinating area, full of history. Some simply beautiful scenery juxtaposed with some post-industrial ugliness! We had an excellent week. Thank you.

• "The actual property was perfect for us with regard to access and facilities."

  I am disabled and my husband has some level of mobility problems. However, Marske itself was not suitable as neither of us could access the beach, which was very important to us. We had to travel every day to Saltburn or Redcar to get anywhere near the sea. The only item I would recommend at the cottage would be a grab rail to help with negotiating the three steps at the door.
