2 Bed in Helmsley (oc-p36613)

An exquisite North Yorkshire hideaway, this charming retreat is situated in Helmsley on the edge of the beautiful North York Moors National Park. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom abode is conveniently located within the picture-postcard town, with shops and eateries within 350 metres and the medieval castle ruins just a 0.5-mile stroll. Splendid Duncombe Park, widely considered to be one of Yorkshire’s finest historic houses, is an easy 1-mile walk from the cottage. Here, you can wander over 450 acres of beautiful gardens, parkland and nature reserve. The National Trust’s elegant 18th-century pleasure gardens at Rievaulx Terrace are just 2 miles away, while magnificent Castle Howard is 13 miles away. For keen walkers, there are many picturesque footpaths and trails to follow, including the Cleveland Way and Ebor Way, both of which begin in Helmsley. Plan a day out to the historic city of York, 24.5 miles away.

Step up and into the pretty cottage to find recently renovated accommodation that combines warm character-cottage appeal with a high-quality, contemporary finish. Unlace your walking boots in the small entrance hall and wander through to the welcoming lounge. Here, you can light the wood burner and settle down in its glowing warmth to catch up on the day’s events. Find a boxset on the Smart TV in here, play games together and read your books. On those evenings you choose not to book a table at a Helmsley restaurant, amble through to the kitchen/diner to prepare a hearty feast for all. You will find everything you require to help you cater for yourselves in this well-equipped space, which has bespoke cabinetry, sleek quartz worktops and high-end appliances. There is also a breakfast bar/table. When you are ready to retire for the night, climb the stairs to your lovely cottage-style bedrooms. These include an inviting king-size with a dressing table area and a double bedroom. The chic, modern shower room features an eye-catching natural stone basin and a large walk-in shower.

Spill out into the leafy courtyard garden on fine summer days. Read in the sunshine on the bench or dine together at the table. Wallow in the hot tub and soothe your aching muscles after your long Yorkshire walks as the sun goes down over Helmsley. Parking for this cottage is roadside, subject to availability.
