Me and my friends came for a weekend away. The cottage was easily accessible and a great location. The house was clean, cosy and comfortable. The bedrooms were comfortable (especially the bed and pillows!) and loved that they were all en-suites. We loved the welcome pack. Parking was easy.We loved this cottage and was highly recommend it. Will definitely be back when I want to stay in Helmsley again.
