• "A cosy and comfortable cottage, set in a peaceful location, but very close to all the amenities."

  The beach is just a 15 min walk away. Marske has plenty to offer with lots of bars, bistros and shops. The cottage is ideal for a couple and is very dog friendly, the owner very kindly left out throws,bowls for our two pets. Indeed Marske is extremely dog friendly. The log fire is a big bonus but the central heating is also available. The kitchen is well fitted out. The living room is comfortable with plenty of seating. The bathroom boasts a shower and a bath. The bedrooms are comfortable, we found the beds to be really comfortable. We found the cottage to be exceptionally clean. There are lots of homely touches throughout making it feel more like a home from home than a holiday let. We would definitely want to return. The chocolates and bottle of fizz on arrival was very welcome. It’s really 5 star.

  Thank you for your fabulous review and perfect score Lynda. I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay so much and loved our little village. I hope you'll return again soon. Rachael. x Property Owner

• "Lovely cottage, only issue we had was the bed was very firm,but otherwise excellent"

  Hi Stewart, Thank you for your feedback; it's very much appreciated. I'm pleased you enjoyed your stay. With regards to the bed, it is a firm mattress but in the double wardrobe in the main bedroom is a mattress topper for use; not sure if you spotted it. We have found this suits guests who prefer a softer mattress. I can see from our guest book that you'd like to return for a stay in the future which is great. Just let us know if you'd like the bed making up with the mattress topper on. Hope to welcome you back to Benjamin Cottage again soon. Kind Regards, Rachael. Property Owner

• "Details are as written in the guest book at the cottage."

  Our only other feedback would be perhaps to advise guests, at the time of booking, about the one car one property parking requirement and for a second car needing to be parked in the Co-op car park.

  Thank you so much for your review Roger; it's very much appreciated. To be honest I think we'll remove the parking info in the cottage as there are many residents now on the road who no longer drive so there always seems to be ample car parking, even if you were to bring more than one car. We hope you'll come back and visit in the future. Kind Regards, Rachael. Property Owner

  We really appreciated the beds being made and a welcome pack when we'd arrived after a very long journey (South Wales). The cottage was clean and had everything we needed.

• "A gem in Marske by the sea."

  It is such a lovely well kept cottage that is very quiet, central to shops, seaside, train station, and buses. As soon as I walked through the door I felt at home. Rachel goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and keeps her property at a 5 star level. Bed is very comfortable, soaker tub after a long day at the seaside is perfect and the kitchen is large and well stocked to cook and bake. Livingroom is cozy and comfortable, especially in front of the wood burner. I enjoyed it so much, I have booked another extended stay.

  Thank you Anne-Marie, and thank you for being a dream guest!!! Rachael. x Property Owner

• "Very nice cottage on quiet street close to amenities."

  Beach easily accessible for walks to Saltburn or Redcar. Cottage worked well for us and was well equipped. Car parking is outside the property with additional parking if needed in car park behind property. Short walk to train station. Very nice to have plenty of logs provided for the log burner but the property is very warm even without this. The owner, Rachael, was very helpful and accommodating. All in all, very good.

  Fabulous kitchen and bathroom and the bedding and towels were luxurious and fresh which you don’t always get. I loved the area too, some great bars and places to eat locally as well as in nearly Saltburn (try 19 Saltburn for a treat) Beach really is a gem, we walked our legs off. Rachael was there for anything we needed and replied straight away if I had questions. Lovely also to be somewhere where there aren’t house rules everywhere, made it much more homely. Overall very professionally run and fantastically maintained.

• "What a gem."

  We had a delightful stay, the cottage was brilliant in terms of comfort and location. Marske by the Sea is not an area we were familiar with but is just lovely. Beautiful long sandy beach, great walks locally and a short drive to Sandsend, where we walked along the beach to Whitby. Roseberry Toping was a short drive and a cracking walk. The area of Marske by the Sea has good local shops and pubs and a exceptional greengrocer. Very friendly place and a lovely cottage.

• "The cottage is in a great location with a super small town that contains all requirements without the commercial outlets of resorts."

  I have only marked the property down for 2 reasons, the main one being the lack of a downstairs bathroom for a toilet and washbasin that would fit in an under stairs space. There isn’t any suitable space for an outside sitting area that would have been appreciated. The welcoming gifts were very generous and like all fittings, furniture, appliances in fact everything in the house was of the best quality.

  Several shops Inc co-op and sainsburies in v short walking distance and several bars and restaurants far enough down the road not to cause noise. Some stunning walks if fit, along beach to Redcar or Saltburn or to Errington woods but all within a few minutes drive if less active. Benjamin cottage is beautiful, much nicer presentation than most dog friendly places I have used and just about everything you need to self cater. Great bath and shower, fully equipped kitchen with washing machine and dishwasher and all utensils you might need inc good quality pans. Absolutely spotless when we arrived, very good value for money. If you do have a dog the back yard area is shared and not secure so to be aware but that wasn't a problem for us, my dog and my friend and I were out walking several times a day rain or shine.
