    A kettle would have been nice in the room.

    Monia was a fantastic host. Our room was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was lovely. We will definitely return.

    Super weekend break in a beautiful part of England.

    We missed being able to make our own tea / coffee in the room as this is not catered for. Whilst we really enjoyed our breakfast of yogurt and fruit, it would have been nice to have the option of a traditional cooked breakfast, although bacon butties are available.

    Bedroom and Bathroom were of a high standard of decor and fittings. Monica and Tony were terrific hosts and were able to give recommendations for evening meals. Monica bakes beautiful scones! Private parking at rear of the premises was very handy. Location good being pretty central in Helmsley.

    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.

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.

    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 😊
