"An amazing property. Clean, spacious and provided everything needed for our stay. A lovely welcome basket with crisps, coffee and biscuits for us with milk and chilled water in the fridge. Also, some biscuit treats for our dog who enjoyed the freedom of exploring the enclosed deck. Comfortable beds and accommodation. My partner enjoyed the PS4 whilst I relaxed with a book. The hot tub was set to the perfect temperature. The site is clean and well planned out, a lovely location - will definitely...

Top Helmsley Hotel Reviews

A traditional hotel with multiple buildings, including a Tudor-style structure and a stone building with a sign for "The Hotel."

The Black Swan - The Inn Collection Group

York

10/10 Excellent

Les

An outdoor patio area with wicker furniture, stone flooring, and a pergola covered in greenery.

The Pheasant Hotel

York

10/10 Excellent

Gorgeous looking hotel. Already lovely but excited to see it when their plans to gain a 4th star come to fruition. My only qualms are rather thin walls to the next bathroom (you can hear the next rooms shower power unit) and the ventilation (weather was low 20s but room got full sun and with no air con it was very hot, even with windows fully open). Otherwise, tasteful decor, a really nice restaurant with super food and a beautiful location.

Rachael

A dining area with a wooden table set for four, a kitchen with a central island, and a view through a glass door to the outside.

Newburgh House Bed & Breakfast

York

10/10 Excellent

Booked as a getaway to celebrate my wife's Birthday. Arrived late but the Landlady was there to greet us (having called previously to check what time we were expecting to arrive). We'd been upgraded into a large and very comfortable room, containing a super queen bed (we'd given no pre-warning of the reasons for our weekend away). We had a really pleasant stay with a good choice of offerings for breakfast, all of which were well cooked and presented.

Nick

A two-story building with the name "The Talbot" on the facade, surrounded by a well-maintained lawn and trees.

Crathorne Hall Hotel

Yarm

10/10 Excellent

The hotel is located very close to the A19 near to Yarm, however it is located in the beautiful and tranquil grounds which enjoy stunning views of the Cleveland Hills with only a very low level of noise drifting up from the A19. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout. We were made to feel both very welcome and comfortable with nothing being a problem. Also, the staff were attentive without being overly familiar or making us feel uncomfortable. The bar service was quick with a quality...

A cozy room with two plaid armchairs, a wooden table, and a window with floral curtains.
