4- and 5-star hotels in Redcar
A shortlist of 4- and 5-star hotels and self-catering stays in Redcar, from sea-front apartments and town-centre guest houses to cottages in Marske-by-the-Sea. It is for couples, families and small groups who want a coastal base with a kitchen or a cooked breakfast.
Staying in Redcar
Redcar is a North Sea town known for its racecourse, one of the oldest in Britain, and for the Redcar Beacon, a vertical pier on the sea front that opened in 2013. The beach and promenade are the focus of a visit, with the town centre holding a mix of independent shops, cafes and larger retailers, and the sea front hosting events through the year. The industrial heritage of the old steelworks at Teesworks is still visible along the coast, and the Transporter Bridge at Middlesbrough is a nearby landmark.
The stays on this shortlist sit in three main spots. Most are in Redcar Town Centre, close to the railway station, high street and sea front: Springdale House, The Beaches, Host & Stay Regency Mansions Apartment, Host & Stay Bellevue Apartments, The Dunes, Cricket View Cottage, Abbey GH All Rooms En Suite and Tivoli Place all lie within about 4.2 km of the centre. The Sanctuary, Benjamin Cottage and 204 Sea View House are in Marske-by-the-Sea to the south-east, while The Chapel and Chapel Cottage are in Upleatham. Couples and short-break visitors are best served by the town-centre apartments and guest houses, families by the cottages with gardens and high chairs, and business travellers by the rooms closest to the station.

Getting there and around
Redcar has a railway station on the Tees Valley Line, with direct trains to Middlesbrough, Darlington and Saltburn, and the town is also served by buses from Middlesbrough, Eston and other parts of the borough. By road, the A1085 and A174 connect Redcar to the A19 and the wider region. Newcastle International Airport and Durham Tees Valley Airport are the nearest airports, both within driving distance. Once in Redcar, the town centre and sea front are walkable, and local buses run to Marske, Saltburn and other nearby places.
When to go
Summer is the most popular time to visit Redcar, when the beach and sea front are at their best and the racecourse holds fixtures. Spring and autumn can be quieter, with mild weather suitable for coastal walks. Winter brings colder, windier conditions, but the town's indoor attractions and events continue. The Redcar Literary Festival and other events take place at various times of year, so it is worth checking local listings before you travel.
