We really enjoyed our stay in this warm, cosy comfortable cottage. Ideally situated close to the town centre and local amenities. We enjoyed meals at the Black Swan, the Magpie Cafe in Whitby, the Star at Harome and the Black Swan in Oldstead. A very relaxing week.

Bridge House has everything you could possibly want and is ideally situated What a gorgeous cottage! Bridge House has everything you could possibly want and is ideally situated a short stroll from the centre of Helmsley. The little touches from the welcome goodies to an initial supply of logs etc for the wood burner are most welcome and appreciated. The parking is not an issue - if you cannot park directly outside of the cottage then you can usually get a space a few 100 yards away. This has to be one of the best cottages I have ever stayed at - have rebooked for next year!!! ##### Sarah This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victoria 18 Nov 2019 #### Absolutely delightful cottage, which is great location,cosy and clean. Absolutely delightful cottage, which is great location,cosy and clean.

Lovely time had and would return. ##### Victoria This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Hilary 16 Oct 2019 #### The cottage is very well situated and is well equipped. The cottage is very well situated and is well equipped. However since our last stay in 2016 we thought the property was in need of some tlc. Particularly the entrance gates that badly needed repair or replacement. However, we had a lovely stay at Bridge House and would go again. ##### Hilary This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Liz 30 Sept 2019 #### The cottage is very convenient for the local town with good shopping facilities and a small market. The cottage is very convenient for the local town with good shopping facilities and a small market.

Luxurious cottage with three spaces to sit outside. It's really pleasant being that close to the river. You can sit on the kitchen window seat and watch it slowly drift by. Some noise from the nearby road, but not overly intrusive outside, and not noticeable inside. ##### Dawn This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trevor 8 Apr 2019 #### Excellent cottage, warm and comfortable in a prime location overlooking the River and within easy di Excellent cottage, warm and comfortable in a prime location overlooking the River and within easy distance of the centre.

This is a lovely house with a great finish. The location is beautiful and there is plenty to see and do in Helmsley. We heard otters in the river at night but never managed to see them.The only 2 real negatives are the parking (if you drive away and return before 5pm expect to park in another area of town) and the lack of wifi. Neither a major problem but worth noting. If you do lots of walking don't rely on any new tech, stick to old school OS maps. As I say though, this place is lovely and I would stay here again ##### ricky This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Anne 20 Jan 2019 #### One big “bug bear” - the parking - no designated parking spot as advertised, it was a free for a One big “bug bear” - the parking - no designated parking spot as advertised, it was a free for all and it made you worry about vacating your spot once you were in it. Helmsley is a lovely little town with plenty of amenities. There are lovely walks right from the doorstep, especially the one to Rievaulx. The cottage was clean and warm and plenty of logs were provided for the wood burner, a nice touch. The beds were lovely and comfy. The en-suite shower drain was rather smelly but otherwise all was fine. ##### Anne This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan 12 Dec 2018 #### We very much enjoyed staying at Bridge House, which is in an ideal location within the village and h We very much enjoyed staying at Bridge House, which is in an ideal location within the village and handy for going further afield - and its riverside setting and garden are great. We would certainly recommend it to others. It is perhaps a minor matter but the Yorkshire Country Cottages website says there is a private parking space directly in front of the house. The trouble is that there was no physical indication at all that the space is private and, as other reviews have said, anyone who feels like it parks there. There is actually room for a "Private parking" sign in the relevant plant area against the house wall. ##### Alan ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Crown Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Crown-Hotel.h7994084.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure York Fairfield Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Mercure-York-Fairfield-Manor-Hotel.h17905.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sidings](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Sidings.h18157901.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandburn Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Sandburn-Hall-Hotel.h67360173.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crown Inn, Roecliffe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Crown-Inn.h31935976.Hotel-Information) > > [Yorkway Motel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Yorkway-Motel.h23470003.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lime Tree Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Lime-Tree-Inn.h57571579.Hotel-Information) > > [The George Hotel Easingwold](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-George-At-Easingwold.h4001926.Hotel-Information) > > [Lastingham Grange](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Lastingham-Grange.h2798553.Hotel-Information) > > [Kings Head Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Kings-Head-Hotel.h1383603.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Newburgh House Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Newburgh-House-Bed-Breakfast.h4329341.Hotel-Information) > > [The Forresters Arms Kilburn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Forresters-Arms-Kilburn.h4190797.Hotel-Information) > > [University of York, James College - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-University-Of-York.h30551433.Hotel-Information) > > [Orchard Lodge, Exclusive Log Cabin, York riverside village 2m P+R, 4m city walls](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Orchard-Lodge.h22195615.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Spa Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-And-Spa-Chester.h527788.Hotel-Information) > > [Plum and Partridge Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Plum-And-Partridge-Inn.h19143770.Hotel-Information) > > [The Durham Ox](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Durham-Ox.h2275866.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollicarrs - Honeycomb Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Hollicarrs-Honeycomb-Lodge.h45364920.Hotel-Information) > > [Brickfields Farm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Brickfields-Farm.h6120838.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [The Parsonage Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Parsonage-Hotel-Spa.h554901.Hotel-Information) > > [Aldwark Manor Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Aldwark-Manor-Estate.h796069.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Oak Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Royal-Oak-Inn.h6942092.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [The Fairfax Arms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Fairfax-Arms.h14699353.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bay Horse Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Bay-Horse-Inn.h17334089.Hotel-Information) > > [Ye Olde Red Lion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Ye-Olde-Red-Lion.h9242958.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crown - Hutton le Hole](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Crown.h39483554.Hotel-Information)
