My family and I loved spending the weekend at the Mill House in Hawnby.
My family and I loved spending the weekend at the Mill House in Hawnby. There are lots of lovely walking trails on the door step of the property and a short drive away from the property is the historic Rievaulx Abbey and lovely village of Helmsley. The property is warm, cosy but also extremely spacious which is great when you have a big family. The welcome food hamper was a lovely touch and contained more than enough essentials. Each room had an en-suite and the beds are really comfy.We would recommend staying at the mill house and would love to return to experience the scenery in the summer months.
