Long John Cottage

Families and couples will find Long John Cottage a straightforward base for a Redcar holiday. The cottage sleeps four across a double bedroom and a twin, with one bathroom upstairs. Downstairs, a living room with a TV opens onto a kitchen with a full set of appliances—oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine—so you can cook as much or as little as you like. An enclosed patio at the back catches the afternoon sun and has seating outside.

The location suits anyone wanting easy beach access without being hemmed in by crowds. A two-minute walk takes you to the sand; the Esplanade runs along the seafront with cafés, restaurants and arcades. For those with water-sports interests, a converted outbuilding stores bikes, surfboards and fishing gear. One pet stays free. Wi-Fi, heating, bed linen and towels are included. The cottage does not allow smoking. Parking is on the road outside.

The stretch of coast here connects Redcar to Marske and Saltburn—Victorian seaside town with a pier and cliff tramway—making it good for longer coastal walks or hopping between different beaches along the same shoreline.
