Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Marske-by-the-Sea

The village of Marske-by-the-Sea is located on the spectacular North Yorkshire coast, between the classic seaside resorts of Saltburn-by-the-Sea and Redcar. Exploring the village from your holiday cottage in Marske-by-the-Sea, you will notice a pair of imposing mansion houses: 19th century Cliff House, perched on a clifftop overlooking the beach, and listed Marske Hall, which was built in 1625, and is the former home of the Zetland family. Several historic churches, a post office, and a handful of independent businesses exist. Self-catering holidays in Marske-by-the-Sea would be incomplete without a trip to one of the village’s atmospheric pubs: The Mermaid, The Clarendon, The Zetland, The Frigate, and The Ship Inn. Other local landmarks to look out for include Winkies Castle, which is not a castle at all, but a 17th-century half-cruck home, housing an excellent museum with exhibits on the region's maritime heritage. Perfect for days of sunbathing and building sandcastles, the sandy shore stretches for miles, all the way to Saltburn to the east and Redcar to the west. The rugged moorland and wooded valleys of the North York Moors National Park are a short drive southward from Marske-by-the-Sea.
