Being just around the corner from market place, everything is on the doorstep. Sharon, the owner, is lovely. The stairs are a bit steep and we had to take our furbaby out on lead to use toilet as it is not enclosed garden, but this did not spoil our stay. Loved every minute and visited other places nearby. Would definitely recommend.

Property is based in a great location very close to shops, local amenities and attractions e.g.Helmsley Castle and Duncombe Park for the National Centre for birds of prey. A short drive away are Rievaulx Abbey, Kilburn for the White Horse and Mouseman workshops plus the town of Thirsk with its James Herriot museum. The cottage is well equipped but there are plenty of places to eat just an easy stroll away
