  • "A totally stunning cottage in the most beautiful village location within walking distance of all the local amenities ."

    We had a wonderful holiday and had the most amazing weather, we LOVED the outdoor village swimming pool!! Helmsley is lucky to have such a wonderful asset. The cottage has everything you could possibly need and suited out needs perfectly as the ground floor bedroom and shower room was ideal for elderly parents. The cottage was spotlessly clean, very well equipped and felt very homely. The lovely garden was great for a family bbq and we enjoyed looking out on to it from the fantastic conservatory. We will definitely return to this property as we had such a lovely time exploring North Yorkshire. Thank you for everything, we can tell a lot of thought, care and attention has gone into this holiday home.

    Thank you Stephen, we are delighted that you had such a great holiday and we totally agree with you that the open air swimming pool is a wonderful thing! We are really pleased that your parents found the downstairs facilities ideal. It would be wonderful to welcome you and the family back sometime. Property Owner

    I know the area well and chose it for my seventieth birthday with a luncheon at the Wheelhouse of the Star Inn in Harome, Andrew Pern's Michelin star restaurant .Our accommodation was very comfortable and warm with my 4 year old granddaughter wishing she could stay there for ever ! They loved playing with the toys in the house. Castle View is ideally situated close to the market square, very secluded with attractive gardens and an area for BBQ 's. There is also a new Italian restaurant in the centre of town where the pizzas are the best I have ever tasted and definitely worth a visit . We had an excursion Piglets Homestead with a tractor ride around the farm , a large barn play area and mini tractors for the children to ride on; with opportunities to feed the animals and see the new born piglets and lambs.Should you wish to spend a day in York, it's best to use the park and ride there's lots of museums catering for all ages , as well as York Minister and if you are not from the North then a visit to Betty's for lunch or afternoon tea.

About the location

HELMSLEY

Kirkbymoorside 6 miles; Thirsk 14 miles; Pickering 13 miles; York 26 miles.

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.

Please note: this property can only accommodate changeovers on a Monday or a Friday.
