If you're planning a romantic retreat to Yorkshire or trekking the moors solo, this stone-built outbuilding places you 300 metres from the heart of the only market town in the North York Moors National Park. Stroll around the bustling market square, browse independent shops, enjoy a slice of cake in a tempting tearoom, or settle in for a pint at one of the welcoming pubs. If you stay on a Friday – don't miss the local craft and food market! History buffs will love exploring the ruins of Helmsley Castle, while a gentle walk brings you to Duncombe Park – an impressive stately home with glorious parkland. For walkers and cyclists, Helmsley marks the start of both the Cleveland Way and Ebor Way. The magnificent Castle Howard is 13 miles away, and the historic city of York, with its medieval streets and iconic Minster, is 24 miles from home.
Open the door and step inside to find a warm and welcoming space. The open-plan layout is full of character, with original beams, exposed stonework, and apex-pitched ceilings that add a sense of space and tradition. Natural light floods in through roof lights, while a wood burner adds warmth and ambience. The compact kitchenette is thoughtfully equipped for rustling up holiday meals, while the dining table offers a lovely little spot to sit and enjoy the chef’s work. The king-size bedroom continues the restful feel, dressed in calm, neutral tones and bespoke fabrics that make it feel like a true retreat. An en-suite shower room completes the interior.
Outside, a private gravel courtyard with bench seating provides a lovely setting for your morning coffee or evening sun-downer. There is a dry store area to store wet coats and muddy boots. Off-street, gated parking for one car is also provided.
