It was one of the few pet permitted places we have stayed that is genuinely pet friendly! It was exceptionally clean with lots of nice extra touches, and no skimping on the heating! Everything was well thought out, and all needs catered for. The owner Helen was lovely, and very attentive. We had a fantastic time and would love to return in the future. A little gem in a beautiful location.

Can only get one small car on the drive but space outside the property for a couple more. Great location for eating out in Helmsley & great walks without having to use the car.
