Lying in a sheltered corner of Upper Ryedale, on the southern edge of the North York Moors National Park, Helmsley is a prestigious market town with a spacious market square surrounded by houses, hotels and shops. The area is important historically - Helmsley has its own 12th century castle and English Heritage’s Rievaulx Abbey and Castle Howard are close by. Helmsley also boasts an arts centre showing films and plays, and an outdoor swimming pool, which is open during the summer. There is excellent walking on the doorstep - indeed the Cleveland Way starts in Helmsley - and the surrounding North York Moors with their hidden dales and villages are pretty in all seasons. York is less than an hour's drive south, as is Scarborough, Whitby and the east coast, whilst Pickering and the beginning of the famous steam railway line (North Yorkshire Moors Railway) are a little over 20 minutes' drive.

Richard
Fully equipped , no need to take any items for the kitchen. Judith was a perfect host. Tastefully decorated. Although the cottage is down a very narrow lane we only met one car in the time we stayed there and we were lucky to be near a passing place.

Every necessity was in the cottage , which was spotless,even a collinder!. Judith checked with us , after a day, to confirm that everything was ok , which of course it was ,and asked that we should ask if there was anything we needed . The Burrows is in a beautiful and very quiet location and should be visited for a relaxing break.. Phil and Mary...

On the day of our arrival, Judith met us at the property with a warm and welcoming smile. She was a wonderful host, who paid attention to all the details to ensure we had the ultimate break. Additional touches included a library of informative books and tourist leaflets, dvds and board games. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you would need for a self catering holiday A++ beyond the standard equipped kitchen as she had also provided cling film/foil and sandwich bags. The welcome basket included a pint of milk, a bottle of wine and a large share bag of Yorkshire ready salted crisps. The rooms were spacious for a couple with comfortable beds, crisp linen, decorative cushions and an additional blankets. Overall, The Burrows was cosy and quiet, and led to a really relaxing and peaceful stay. Thank you Judith, we loved it!
