Situated just 500 metres from Redcar beach and 150 metres from Coatham Green, this charming period cottage provides the perfect base for your North Yorkshire coastal adventures. Nature lovers will adore the reserves at Coatham Marsh (0.5 miles), South Gare and Coatham Dunes (2.5 miles), Saltholme (22 miles), Teesmouth and Seaton Common (both 25 miles); Saltholme has hares, terns and sublime starling murmurations in winter. Marske Sands (3 miles) is a beautiful stretch of beach, ideal for surfing, boating and windsurfing. Discover Saltburn’s art galleries, savour fresh fish at its restaurants, pubs and eateries, and marvel at its cliff lifts and Yorkshire’s last remaining pier (6 miles). Redcar Railway Station is just 0.5 miles away, giving access to the Esk Valley steam train line at Saltburn and Middlesborough (8 miles), and further afield to Hartlepool (24 miles).

Down a step from the vestibule, you’ll find a comfortable lounge/diner, with exposed beams and sweet original features. Cosy up in the sofa and chairs around the brick feature fireplace and flickering wood burner, for evenings of wine and fine local fare; watch TV and plan adventures ahead. The dining table has been crafted from a Singer sewing machine, and the lamps have been handcrafted from driftwood. Relax on the monk’s bench and write your postcards at the roll-top bureau. Through double doors, prepare sumptuous meals from fresh local produce in the bright and charming kitchen. Enjoy bright mornings at the breakfast bar and let the outside in by opening the double patio doors to the garden. Wash away sand and sleep in the fully tiled ground floor wet room, with its large, walk-in rainfall shower. After your exciting explorations, doze off to sleep in the tranquil first-floor king-size bedroom.

On balmy summer nights and bright Yorkshire mornings, savour sweet local cuisine in the walled and enclosed patio garden, with its dovecote, tree and green planting.

Well equipped cottage in a great location, having a parking permit is a huge bonus. The milk and wine on arrival were much appreciated. Great to have an extension lead so that I could sit down in front of a mirror to dry my hair, so many holiday lets overlook this. Also its good to have more than one set of towels per person for a week. The gardenRead more is lovely. Hide

We really enjoyed our stay here. The cottage was better than expected and well maintained. All the personalised decorations demonstrated how well taken care of the cottage is. We really appreciated the bottle of wine left for us and our dog enjoyed sun bathing on the dog bed in the garden. The kitchen had everything you could need and we were left Read morewith plenty of towels and dishcloths. Redcar was a great spot for our break. The cottage was a short 5 minute walk from the beach which was beautiful but for being so close, the street was still really quiet. We also had day trips to Scarborough (1hr 15mins) and Whitby (45mins away) which the cottage was well placed for. We highly recommend this cottage and would stay again. Hide
