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 is close by. 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, Scarborough and the east coast just over an hour whilst Pickering and the beginning of the famous steam railway line (North Yorkshire Moors Railway) are within 30 minutes’ drive.
A superb, semi-detached house in a quiet position, a couple of minutes’ walk from the centre of the pretty market town of Helmsley. Lovingly and tastefully furnished and decorated, the property offers extremely comfortable accommodation, with spacious, sunny bedrooms, a lovely sitting room with open fire, and a delightful conservatory opening onto a pretty garden in which to relax and unwind. Children of all ages will enjoy the many games, books and toys left for them in this family-friendly cottage. Enjoy riverside walks, traditional tea rooms and former coaching inns. Explore the market square and lanes with a selection of shops and pubs, or visit the stately home at Duncombe Park. Helmsley has its own castle and walled garden, both within a five minute walk. Within easy reach are the stunning North York Moors, Whitby, Scarborough and much, much more. An ideal base for everyone!

Previous visitors' comments about Castle View:
Property was very spacious and comfortable, excellent bathrooms, good information and everything needed for large family was in the house. The children loved the variety of toys and games. Owners thought of everything that may be needed whilst away from home. Great oven for feeding a large family. Excellent collection of video /dvd's. Really well positioned for short walk to lovely town.
Mrs Riley, Seascale, March 2012
The cottage was extremely well-equipped for a family, central and generally lovely. I spoke to the owners beforehand who were very helpful and I was delighted my three-year-old son had a large range of toys to play with. He would happily have stayed playing with them! The area is also outstandingly beautiful with much to do. We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at the cottage and would happily return for much longer.

Everything, plenty of room for all 10 of us. Lovely and warm and very homely.
Plenty of books, DVD's and music etc. There was no need to take anything other than our clothes, fantastic.
