The Stables Marske-by-the-sea, North Yorkshire

A wonderful little place. Two bedrooms, large enough kitchen, nice shower-room and a large sitting room. There is parking for two cars and the beautiful beach can be less than 500metres away. Within less than 100 metres there is a small supermarket and other useful shops. The pub at the top of the road (the Zetland Hotel) currently only does meals 3 - 4 nights a week because of the COVID lock-down but is highly recommended and the people are very friendly. From here it is 20 minutes by car to other villages or the country park and a bit further to Whitby and Scarborough which are worth a visit.

Nice little cottage with 2 bedrooms however I wouldn’t like to think there were 2 other people staying with my husband and I, would definitely have been uncomfortable and over crowded.. Great off road parking, spotlessly clean and a nice surprise of milk, biscuits and a chilled bottle of prosecco!!! Would definitely recommend for 2 people.

Excellent experience.. A perfect place for a relaxing family break. The owner was polite and helpful but never intrusive. The local facilities were very close by and of a very good standard. Highly recommended!

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.

This is the 4th time we have stayed at The Stables at Marske, it is brilliant and fills all our needs.. 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.

The cottage was beautiful , clean and tidy , peaceful , amazing welcome pack , and a 5 minute walk to a great beach

The kitchen is very small.. Have to close the door to open the fridge. Not much work surface.

Not easy to find, could do with sign on street

Had a very nice stay at the Stables.. Would not hesitate to return sometime The cottage is so clean and pristine throughout The welcome pack was much appreciated. Thanks.

We have just returned from a week at The Stables and we found the cottage to be really cosy & comfortable.. There was everything you could possibly want & it was super clean which is one of my absolute musts. The weather whilst we were there was shocking but unfortunately this is something that you cannot control. Give this cottage a try - you won’t be disappointed.

In the centre of marske-by-the-sea off the main road ,parking spot owner helpful

The Stables was a perfect property for us.. Very clean and comfortable and situated in a great position. Easy for shopping, takeaways, plenty of places to eat and very central for all the coast down to Whitby or up to Hartlepool; also great access to the North York Moors. Well recommended. Very kind and helpful owners too.

Superb accomodation.. Set in a small quiet courtyard. Very bright and very clean.everything you could need provided. The owner was friendly and helpful. Shops very close by. Will be returning for another holiday there in the future.

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.

Cottage was central to all the places that we wanted to visit which was excellent, nice amenities which were very close by, loved the pub across the road, no tv's, no music, no children, just good beer, brilliant.. Very impressed by welcome pack of some essentials like bread ,milk and even a bottle of wine. Some issues so trivial that I won't mention them. Would recommend this place to anyone. Oh, and the weather was great!

This is the third time we have stayed at the Stables and once again it was brilliant in every respect.. My husband has to use a mobility scooter for getting around outside and the Stables ticks all the boxes with parking by the door and the inside is brilliant too !!! We can highly recommend Sykes Cottages as we have stayed in several different cottages over the years, excellent. We hope to go again to the Stables next year. Thank you

Sykes made it really easy to book the accommodation.. Communication was clear and timely and not too much. The accommodation was really clean and an excellent 'welcome pack' was provided - useful things like tea, coffee, milk, butter and bread, as well as a bottle of wine! it was in a perfect location, close to all amenities and an easy walk to the sea. Situated between Saltburn and Redcar it was an easy walk along the beach to either. A great holiday and I'm sure we'll go back.

The cottage was very comfortable and clean and the Owners Paul and Helen had left a welcome pack for us, which had everything you needed when you arrive at a property, including a bottle of wine.. So we would like to thank them for their very friendly welcome and the excellent welcome pack. We would also like to thank Sykes Cottages for their easy booking system and excellent communication.

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.

Owners went the extra mile for us.. Very considerate, helpful and nothing was to much trouble. Lovely welcome pack provided. We really enjoyed our stay and the cottage was very clean and modern inside. Brilliant location to explore both country and beaches. We where sad when our holiday was over. Highly recommended.

Very helpful hosts, Mr and Mrs Young

Cottage right in the centre of Marske, but very quiet.. very comfortable and clean. Lovely welcome pack in kitchen when we arrived, nice touch.

Everything was perfect, the Stables was brilliant and we had a superb week, will certainly go again.. We have booked several holidays with Sykes and could not fault them, well done.

Just perfect for me

Amazing place and the owner was lovely, so many small touches made my stay amazing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Stables.. The locaion was excellent near the main street in Marske where we could get buses to various places including Saltburn and Redcar. There were many shops within a short walk of the cottage. We shall definitely return hopefully during the early part of next year.

Stayed for a week everything you could want including towels. Toiletries such as shower gel. Everything felt high quality. Owner was really friendly and helpful

A lovely, well kept, clean cottage, tucked away from the high street.. Ideal for families and couples, my children aged 6 and 8 years loved it. Will definitely return next year!

Très joli cottage, décoration et situation (cour intérieure) de rêve. Le mobilier et l'équipement est complet et de qualité. Certaines petites provisions pour le petit-déjeuner sont disponibles et meme un petit "toast" d'accueil. On se sent tout de suite chez soi. Si c'est à refaire je le louerai à nouveau . Francoise C.

This was our second time staying at the Stables. It was perfect for us in every way. We plan to stay here every time we return to Marske by the Sea. Our Home away from Home.

The property definitely outweighed our expectations, what an excellent little gem. I lived in the village of Marske for 30+ years and didn't know this place existed. An extremely well presented property which we would have no hesitation using again ourselves, and one which we would definitely recommend to friends and family. Brilliant little place, it rounded out our UK holiday beautifully. A bonus was the fact that it also had off street parking.

A lovely clean, comfortable cottage within easy reach of shops, pubs and beach.
