We have already started taking bookings for next year, so we thought we best open up the diary and get everyone booked in!

Unfortunately we are fully booked all month! However, we still have some availability for November and December if anyone would like a cosy, winter break! 💙

Some more fantastic scenery on another little walk this summer! ☀️

Just 10 minutes car journey from Storm Cottage is the beautiful, quaint seaside fishing village of Staithes (or Steers if you're one of us locals!)

We like to park at Our Lady Star of the Sea RC Church on Staithes Lane, where you can park in their car park around the back for £2 all day, with all proceeds going to the church. Then we set off down in to the village before joining the Cleveland Way National Trail! We took with us a beautiful Botham's of Whitby Prawn Stotty with us and some little goodies to keep us fueled up along the way! But you could always call in to Dotties Tea Room at Staithes to fuel up!

Off we wandered along the cliff top from Old Nab, looking back at the beautiful little fishing village of Staithes, and in the distance seeing the highest cliffs on the East Coast at Boulby. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery, the sound of the bird song, the rugged cliffs and the views of the lovely local countryside. With the tide being out we even spotted the remains of the British steamship The Waldridge near Port Mulgrave which was built in 1868 and was wrecked off the coast here in 1895 with some having lost their life. A reminder of how powerful the sea can be. 🌊

We headed and ended our little walk at Runswick Bay and enjoyed a lovely cold drink to rehydrate ourselves at the Runswick Bay Hotel..which even had a little outside Doggy Bar should your four legged friends also need a nice cold drink!! 🐾

We've had some blummin' fantastic reviews left for us lately in out Guest Comments Book! I can't quite believe we are actually on to our third book already! 😍

Absolutely makes my day when I come in to do changeover and to read some of the lovely things people have to say about us and the effort we are putting in to our quirky little nautical holiday cottage! 🩵

We've had a completely full Summer this year (again!) but we still have a few dates left in October if anyone fancies a last minute Autumn get away! 🍁🍃🌊🐚

Do you like our new Tea Towels? We absolutely love them, and best of all they were designed by Clares fabulous Aunty who lives in Staithes! As soon as we saw them, we had to grab a couple!

This weekend is Staithes Festival of Arts & Heritage, celebrating the history and heritage of Staithes where cottages across the picturesque fishing village open up as pop-up galleries showcasing the work of artists, sculptors and creatives, offering visitors a chance to meet them and see their work.

It was only right therefore, that we hung out our Staithes tea towel, ready for this weekends guests who are visiting Staithes Art Festival!

Who fancies some beautiful scenery, rugged cliffs, beautiful countryside filled with history, the highest cliffs on the East Coast of England and a beautiful little picturesque fishing village? 🌊🐚

Sounds good doesn't it?! 😍

Well, Alex and myself decided to do just that one day after doing changeover at our lovely Storm Cottage , and we made the most of all the beauty on our doorstep! Armed with a Stonehouse Bakery sandwich and goodies from their superb local bakery at Loftus, we set off and decided to walk part of the Cleveland Way National Trail from Skinningrove (3 minutes car journey from the cottage) to Staithes.

We had such a lovely little ramble along the cliff, singing, laughing, chatting away and taking some time just to admire and appreciate how lucky we are to live where we do!

If you'd like to do this walk whilst staying with us at Storm Cottage then you can find lots of information and advice in our Guest Welcome Folder along with a number of books, leaflets, maps and walking trails!

Sorry for the radio silence on our social media! 🤫 We have been so busy at Storm Cottage this summer that we've not had a single night free over the school holidays..which may we add we are incredibly grateful for! 🙏

However, with so many changeovers to complete as well as both myself and Paul running our own individual businesses (and not forgetting juggling being parents ourselves throughout the summer!) something had to give..and that was updating our page!

We're back now though! 🙌

This week I've been trying to tackle the front garden in between changeovers and guests checking in! It's been a tough summer for the plants, with Spring blossoming early and then a long, dry Summer! So now that it's September I've managed to prune back everything that was overgrowing and dying back (4 bin liners full!) and paid a visit to my favourite local garden centre at Whitby.

Victoria Farm Garden Centre on the outskirts of Whitby not only has a fantastic collection of seasonal plants, shrubs, bulbs and seeds but it also sells the most loveliest home accessories and has a fantastic cafe and tea rooms! The staff are fantastic and really informative and always go above and beyond..I highly recommend paying them a visit if you head in to Whitby whilst staying with!

So, now that I've managed to w**d and prune the garden, there was plenty of space to add a few little plants to add a pop of colour, giving a lovely, bright welcome to our guests!

Hope you enjoy the before and after pics!
