The décor flows throughout this end-terraced cottage with hints of purple and green in every room.

Opt for the concierge service to cater to your every whim (subject to availability), spoil your partner with champagne, flowers and chocolates, a photographer for bespoke photoshoots, or the chauffer driven car to take you to the races in York (at cost). There is also a restaurant guide with booking service for an effortless evening. If you are looking to be pampered, then this cottage is the place for you.

The centre of the market town of Helmsley is just a short walk away and is known as the jewel in Yorkshire’s crown. The many individual shops, art galleries, microbrewery and plethora of cafés and eateries will keep you entertained for days. The stately home of Duncombe Park is a short stroll away along with Helmsley Castle and the award-winning National Centre for Birds of Prey. As the central meeting point for three walking routes, including the Cleveland Way, Helmsley is a mecca for walkers and cyclists alike. The central market square is a focal meeting point where you can find visitors and locals passing the time and enjoying watching the world pass by. The historic city of York and the Dales town of Thirsk are a short drive away, and the seaside towns of Whitby and Scarborough are within easy reach. You will definitely want to return to this lovely cottage. Beach 30 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 350 yards.

    Perfect stay. You are a 2 minute walk into the centre of Helmsley. Cottage was immaculate and all very comfortable and great amenities. The welcome hamper was really high quality local produce. We had an excellent stay.

    We couldn't fault the cottage at all. It was very clean and warm. There was plenty of really hot water and all the equipment was top quality.The location was excellent, being in a quiet cul-de-sac only 5 minutes walk from the Market Square. The welcome pack was of very good quality and the icing on the cake for us was the hot tub and the sauna. We were very lucky with the weather for November.We would certainly recommend the place and hope to return in the future.The only thing I can recommend is to bring a torch or mobile phone with a torch facility as at 5.o'clock check in it was very dark. You need to be able to access 2 number locks to enter the property and there is no street lighting at the rear of the house.
