Guests find the property comfortable, with several mentioning it as 'home from home' and noting the comfortable beds. However, one comment about the property being warm in hot weather slightly affects the score.
The property is well-equipped, but some guests noted the lack of a non-slip bath mat, no detergent for the washing machine, and a potentially hazardous extractor for taller individuals. Despite these points, the overall facilities are well-regarded.

Very clean property with a good location. We were provided with a good welcome pack. There is ample equipment. Parking is easy. The property would be crowded with 5 adults. The shower is over the bath, but there is no bath non slip mat. This is a potential hazard. Also to note that there is no detergent for the washing machine, but plenty for the dishwasher. The kitchen over hob extractor is a hazard for anyone over 5ft 10in.

We enjoyed our week staying in Helmsley at Popleys. We have been several times and enjoy the comfort of the cottage and the peaceful location. Also very good for parking, safe and secure.It is a short walk into the town centre and we enjoyed going to the cafes and restaurants there as well as the bar at the brewery.We hope to visit again when the weather is warmer so we can enjoy sitting in the garden.
