Cygnet Cottage is a gem in all regards, e.g. location, layout, equipment, comfort, and cleanliness. Check out its website for photos of the great accommodations. We stayed there for five nights. Helmsley has good restaurants and a grocery store at the town square, which is within a short walking distance from Cygnet Cottage. Hiking in the area is terrific as the Cleveland Way runs through the town. In addition, there are a of nearby historic properties to tour and a wonderful Walled Garden to enjoy.
