Family-friendly holiday rentals in Marske-by-the-Sea

Absolutely loved our stay here, the cottage its self was gorgeous and the space inside was a really great lay out and very spacious! The cottage had everything we needed as-well as the little extras that were complimentary, and overall Sheila has been a great host and I would recommend this place, we had an amazing stay here! Thank you x

Firstly wow! The area in which this little cottage is set is beautiful, tranquil and private and has an enclosed garden for mine and my sister’s dogs. The welcome hamper was the best we’ve ever had with so many goodies in! Lots of local dog walks around the area and hotel grounds and we even found a waterfall after a heavy rainfall which was a lovely surprise. The cottage was clean and all beds made up, towels were provided too. Log fire and wood fired pizza oven and hot tub were so welcome on a foggy day when we were unable to travel. Wi-Fi was a bit hit and miss but not a real problem. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Only negative was only 2 windows open. We loved the fact we were surrounded by nature and birdsong and would have loved to have the windows open to make the most of this. Wouldn’t put us off going again as there are so many other areas we didn’t get to explore around there.

Beautiful place so relaxing just what we needed as a family to regroup and recharge our batteries. Very well equipped with all the essentials made use of the washing machine and airer and ironing board and iron. Great wfi. Hot tub was lovely and the veiws from it.

We had a lovely long weekend stay. Everything was as we expected and how it looked in the pictures. The views were amazing, so was the hot tub and the goat farm was a nice touch. Charlie was a fantastic host—friendly, responsive, and always quick to answer any questions we had. We’d definitely love to stay again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing countryside escape.

The photos don’t do this place justice. It really is beautiful. Quaint, spacious, clean and tidy. Plenty of facilities such as vac, mop, washing machine, dryer, cleaning products etc. Kitchen is a lovely space to all sit together. Bedrooms were very spacious and room for clothes etc. Lovely nights sleep in comfortable beds. Central heating worked a treat with log fire in the room (we didn’t need to use) including other heaters. It is lovely and warm and cosy. The views and surrounding areas are lovely. We used the hot tub which was a lovely addition and worked well been outside the conservatory part. We were a family group of mixed ages and we would absolutely stay here again. Host was great with contact prior to arrival with flexible check in/out. Overall a brilliant stay and we’ve also said we would return.

Brilliant stay.. so peaceful and spacious inside and out! Really well equipped and huge hot tub that is actually hot :) Will definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely holiday home which is in a stunning location overlooking Robin Hoods Bay. It really was an unbeatable location. Steve was a fantastic host, giving us all the information we needed about the property and location. He also left us some welcome extras in the fridge 😊 The property was clean and well presented, and the hot tub and snooker room were enjoyable extras. We would happily return to this beautiful, peaceful spot in the future.

Very comfortable w/e in an immaculate and well appointed property. So close to Staithes yet out of the hustle and bustle with views across open countryside. Would definitely rebook.

Fabulous property, the photos do not do it justice. As per previous reviews, the property was spotless and generously stocked with branded, not cheap, kitchen and bathroom products. The bed/pillows were so comfortable. The wraparound garden was beautiful and well maintained, it was a delight watching the birds (again, well stocked bird food to top up the feeders). We found the location to be a good central base for travelling to many tourist locations, and it was always a pleasure to return to such a clean and comfortable home. We cannot wait to return.

We stayed here for three nights June 2025. A truly unique apartment, very spacious & full of character with high ceilings & lovely big windows. Spotlessly clean & beautifully furnished & decorated with a well-equipped kitchen crammed with crockery sympathetic to the period of the house which is a nice touch. Beds were very comfortable. Ideal location just off the market square & adjacent to the brewery.

Great place in the centre of Whitby. Zoe helped with parking. The rooms were all as expected and the living area was lovely.

Just wanted to say what a wonderful time we had in your house. Everything was perfect! We loved being so close to the town (although we needed to catch our breath on the incline back!). Many thanks to Debra for recommending The White House for our meal on the first night. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and big enough for us all to get together yet have space to ourselves. Loved it!

We had a great stay, it's a good location and the house had everything we needed. Very comfortable bed and a lovely big bath. Great kitchen and even a bottle of wine. Would stay again.

Great location and property - perfect for our family and dog friendly.

This place is amazing. It's really spacious and has everything you require to enjoy your stay. We had a fabulous 4 night and were also so lucky with the weather.

Great accommodation. spotlessly clean, well stocked with utensils and basic provisions , sauces, oils, chutney etc. First class food from Hotel next door.

Expensive but worth every penny for our 4 generation trip. Rooms for exuberant kids and quiet rooms for 90+ years old great grand parents. Large sociable kitchen diner . Swim spa at 35c so great for the Californian kids.

This hidden gem was perfect for our family getaway, away from the hustle and bustle of day to day life. we were welcomed with a smile, and a beautiful home made cake and loaf of bread, as well as a fun "boo-basket' with hot chocolate, smores ingredients and a pumpkin to carve. cottage was exactly as described and clean and tidy. we loved the indoor swimming pool and games room, allowing us the holiday fun irrespective of the weather. The Coachman Inn pub only a mile away, had the freshest pint and one of the best steaks we've ever had. close to Pickering, were we took the steam train to Goathland, and Dalby forest to go swing at Go Ape and ride bikes. and only 30 mins from Whitby to get a dose of sea-side and fish n chips! the grounds of the cottage were beautiful too, for a lovely evening stroll, where we met the sweetest chickens and ducks. Truly a fab week away to recharge the batteries !! thanks so much!! and will definitely recommend!

Perfect location. Perfect house. Perfect host. I stayed in Orchard House with my husband, daughter, son in law and two grandchildren aged 12 and 14. The host was so kind and had left milk, bread and a home made loaf for us. One morning we found a bowl of peaches from her garden on our doorstep. Jacqueline is nice and friendly and is available if you need to know anything. We loved everything about the house. Plenty room for us all. Great sized living room. Kitchen come dining room was ideal as were the 3 bathrooms. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. The appliances are new and of the highest quality. Also made use of the log fire when we returned at night. We all enjoyed the swimming pool and table tennis. These activities were such an added bonus. A quiet peaceful location close to so many beautiful villages. Visited Thornton-le-Dale, Malton, Pickering, Scarborough, Filey, Eden Camp, Flamingo Land, and went on the NYMR steam train from Pickering to Whitby.

Absolutely loved our stay at Cliff House with Jacquline. Beautiful location, swimming pool was such a bonus for the children, they loved it! The grounds were fantastic, such a lot to explore, our children loved the chickens and climbing frame and the private wood was great for hide and seek. Jacquline was such a great, friendly host and gave us great advice about visiting York. She even arranged an Easter egg hunt for our children. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend.

Lovely little place in beautiful countryside environment and a friendly pub just up the road (the grapes). There is an off lead dog walk directly outside the property. We loved our stay, opening the windows and listening to just the birds, the brook flowing right past the home, and the owls hooting at night. We would definitely return

Perfect location for exploring the North Yorks Moors and East Coast. The cottage was exactly as described, comfortable and a great base. Facilities were great and the local village is very peaceful with a good local pub for food and drinks.
