This luxurious, 5* cottage is ideal for a small family or a couple’s holiday, and your four-legged friends are welcome too. Benefitting from off road parking, this pièce de résistance is hidden away in the enclosed Spa Garden which has a top-of-the-range hot tub and a sauna, as well as seating for al fresco dining. Entering from the hallway into the open plan living area, the chef in the family will be delighted with the kitchen layout and quality of accessories available. The living/dining area is light and airy with a TV, perfect for cosy nights in. With high quality furniture and a deep corner sofa, the seating area is perfect to watch a movie or listen to your favourite tunes from the SONOS speaker. There are two bedrooms upstairs, one with king-size bed, the other with a double bed. The bathroom with a shower over the bath completes the picture. This luxury property really has been designed with guests’ comfort in mind.
The centre of the market town of Helmsley is just a short walk away and is known as the jewel in Yorkshire’s crown. The many individual shops, art galleries, microbrewery and plethora of cafés and eateries will keep you entertained for days. The stately home of Duncombe Park is a short stroll away along with Helmsley Castle and the award-winning National Centre for Birds of Prey. As the central meeting point for three walking routes, including the Cleveland Way, Helmsley is a mecca for walkers and cyclists alike. The central market square is a focal meeting point where you can find visitors and locals passing the time and enjoying watching the world pass by. The historic city of York and the Dales town of Thirsk are a short drive away, and the seaside towns of Whitby and Scarborough are within easy reach. You will definitely want to return to this lovely cottage. Beach 30 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 350 yards.
