A therapeutic jaunt up to Runswick Bay blew the cobwebs away this morning 🌬️🌊

Youngest Holmes, Ellis, was very taken with the rock pools and his trove of limpet shells 🤍

Praying for sunny weather this coming week 🤞🏻☀️ as it's our annual trip to Kauri with Martin's sons and all the grandchildren!

We've got some things planned and are hoping for some beach time with the kids, some fish and chips of course, and perhaps a couple of trips out, too! Keep your eyes peeled over the coming days for some family photos 🤍

"...there is nothing – absolutely nothing – half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." 🛶

We couldn't agree more, and we love to recommend Ruswarp Pleasure Boats to our guests. Here's Martin's son Andy, chauffeuring some of the younger Holmes clan down the Esk last year 😂 the café on the riverbank is excellent, and the miniature railway is great for little ones, too 🚂

Bram Stoker's novel charts the gradual disappearance of an entire ship's crew during the journey to Whitby, until only the captain is left, tied to the wheel, as the ship runs aground below East Cliff on 8 August (today!) – the date that marked Stoker’s discovery of the name ‘Dracula’ in Whitby library. A "large dog" bounds from the wreck and runs up the 199 steps to the church, and from this moment, things begin to go horribly wrong.

Dracula has arrived…

🦇🧛🏻‍♂️⚰️ ...and should you wish to immerse yourself in some spooky Whitby history, we've added a copy of Dracula to the cottage for our guests to peruse!

One of Whitby's most photographed landmarks 🤍

Did you know...?

🐋 Whitby's whalebone arch was erected in 1853. The original whalebone archway in Whitby, was replaced by a replica in 1963 that was donated by Norway. The most recent replacement was donated by Alaska in 2003.

🐋 The bones come from a bowhead whale hunted in Alaska by native Inuits where hunting whales is still legal as it is part of their customs and heritage.

🐋 Whales would be brought back to Whitby and processed for oil used for lighting, lubrication, and fuel, while whalebone was used to make a variety of products such as corsets and umbrella ribs.

We recently shared a photo of the lovely Falling Foss waterfall and just wanted to highlight why it's one of our favourite places to visit and recommend whilst at Kauri Cottage...

1. THE SCONES. No further information needed 🤩
2. The family friendly walking and paddling, including this hidden troll under the first bridge 👀
3. Falling Foss Waterfall Tea Garden, outside seating and play area (where you can most importantly purchase and eat the aforementioned scones 😋)

Riverside Walk in all its glory 😎 the glorious summer sun certainly brings the best out of our wonderful spot 🏡

There are so many green spaces and places to sit out and enjoy the sun on your visit to Kauri, from a peaceful bench overlooking the estuary, to the private balcony on the first floor, the sheltered patio area or the lovely shared lawn out front (perfect for duck feeding 🦆)

We have super limited availability now, but there are some June and July dates still available for short breaks - check out Airbnb for our free dates and remember to contact us to book direct!

Who doesn't love splashing when the tide is out? One of the tinier Holmes' certainly enjoyed her time on Sandsend beach last summer 🤩

Sandsend is our go-to beach recommendation, especially for larger groups! There's parking right next to the beach (sometimes you can bag a free spot right on the front 🤞🏻) plus toilets in the public car park, plenty of cafés and spots for food / ice creams, rock pools, views for miles...need we go on?

What's your favourite beach to visit when you're in Whitby?

Last week we asked who recognised the bay in a stunning picture, and if you said Robin Hood's Bay then you were right!

Here are Martin's three boys and their families enjoying an evening pint overlooking the bay at sunset 🌅 how lovely does this look?

😋 😋 😋

Can anything beat The Magpie Cafe? What's your go-to meal out in Whitby? Sometimes a fish supper and a cup of tea is just what the doctor ordered! Especially when it comes recommended by The Good Food Guide 😉

Happy Bank Holiday Monday 😎 can you tell us where you think this photo was taken?

It's one of our favourite places to visit when we're at Kauri Cottage, and is walkable from Whitby...if you're feeling energised 😮‍💨

Let us know your guesses in the comments, and tell us your favourite day trips from Whitby, too!

Yes, you're here on your holidays, but did you know that parkrun UK has an event that runs practically past Kauri Cottage?

The Cinder Track parkrun, Whitby starts and finishes at Whitby Sixth Form, and runs 5km along the historic tree lined Cinder Track. The route offers majestic views of Whitby and the Esk Valley as you cross the iconic Larpool Viaduct and the newly resurfaced Cinder Track offers an ideal surface to enjoy your run, walk or jog 🏃🏻

All parkrun events are completely free (you just need to sign up for a barcode in order to record a result) and the event starts each Saturday at 9am!

Kauri Cottage comfortably sleeps seven guests, and we're far enough out of town to not be awoken by seagulls every morning 😉

Take a look at our gorgeous rooms, with a double and a twin room on the second floor, and a single room plus a double sofa bed on the first floor.

We also have a travel cot (and high chair!) for tiny guests. All bedding is provided, and is of a wonderfully luxurious standard so you can hopefully enjoy a lie-in or two whilst you stay 💤
