Mrs Graham
The cottage is lovely and so close to the centre of Helmsley for its shops, hostelries and fabulous Friday Market. The owners provided such helpful touches, there was milk in the fridge, coffee, tea and sugar plus logs ready for the logburner. If visiting in warmer weather they have a delightful garden with two outside seating area's to eat and drink. We loved our stay there.
