Embrace the magic of the countryside in this quaint, stone-brick cottage. Located in the heart of Helmsley, nestled into the North York Moors National Park, this is an excellent choice for a group getaway. From long, windy walks in the dramatic moors, to exploring local boutiques and bars, to morning walks along the River Rye, there’s so much to love about this cosy home and its fantastic location. We love the traditional interior of this pastoral cottage. It exudes warmth and comfort, with original wooden beamed ceilings, a stone brick fireplace, and classic furniture. Brimming with wholesomeness, it’s the kind of place that makes you feel comforted. Whether you’re sinking into the sofa and watching Netflix after a long walk, or gathering around the large dining table for good-spirited dinners and drinks, you’ll feel right at home. While the interior is a cosy haven, the back garden is a flourishing summer’s dream. Dotted with vibrant flowers and sprawling foliage, it’s a truly bucolic scene. You’ll love finishing off balmy days with a nice glass of wine in your garden, grilling up local produce on the barbecue for a hearty feast. Exploring Helmsley comes easy here. As the only market town in...
