    Slightly noisy on the main road with window open, but there’s very little traffic coming past overnight. A kettle with tea & coffee is the only extra thing we would have liked but overall we absolutely loved staying here and would stay there again happily

    Lovely room with big bed and a really great breakfast in the cafe downstairs

    Charming accommodation in the heart of the North Yorkshire Moors

    We would have liked a broader breakfast offer including for example porridge/cereal, a full English breakfast, scrambled or poached eggs etc, but we realise that this is very much a question our personal preference rather than an essential requirement.

    Monica and Tony were excellent and friendly hosts. Our room was huge and the shower/bath were great. Our bed was exceptionally comfortable and all other facilities very good. Breakfast was substantial. We also got some great tips re local pubs and restaurants, for example the Helmsley Brewery.

    The location was great - near to the square in Helmsley. Hosts Monia and Tony were fabulous and provided a lovely atmosphere. Breakfast was in the coffee shop and literally had choice of anything - fruit and yogurt, scones, bacon butties and drinks in abundance. Room was beautiful and very comfortable. Loved our stay and can’t wait to stay again.

The room was spotless and beautifully presented, the bed was huge and I had a fantastic nights sleep. The breakfast was varied, the Greek yogurt and fresh fruit was lovely. On our last day we were given a goody bag of their scones which were delicious, thank you.

    Instructions to car park are a little difficult to follow. I think some reference to Dunscombe would assist as this is what it says on the sign when you first turn in.

    Literally couldn't fault a thing about our stay, the room was beautiful, the hosts exceptional, the location superb and the breakfast amazing. Highly recommend a stay here!

    We were made to feel exceptionally welcome, from being led to the private car parking space, to the generous offer of a mince pie every time we had a drink! Everything is the highest quality - the bathroom was luxurious and the bed was soo comfortable. Helmsley is beautiful and the Christmas decorations make it like a grotto. Lovely weekend - thank you 😊

    There was nothing we didn't like but it would have been even better if we had been able to make a hot drink in our room in the evenings when the coffee shop was closed.

    The room was lovely and warm, clean and comfortable. The ensuite had a very large shower and lots of hot water. Monika and Tony were very welcoming and supplied us with fabulous breakfast and lots of conversation. They were happy to recommend good places to eat at night and suggestions for trips out.

    The accommodation is in the centre of a dear little town, close to attractions like the Helmsley Castle and Helmsley Walled Gardens. The hosts are really friendly and welcoming and provided heaps of good recommendations on what to do and where to go around town. Breakfast is served from the cafe downstairs. The room was spacious and maintained in an excellent state of cleanliness. All in all, a really pleasant stay.

    The only niggle is as a result of its plus side in that it’s very central and as such was prone to traffic noise as the heatwave meant we had to have the windows open . Small price to pay for such a great spot .

    Fabulous central location , lovely large room and parking . The cafe itself has a beautiful courtyard and quirky internal rooms. Our bathroom was brilliant with a free standing bath capable of accommodating a lady of more rubenesque proportions without flooding
