Ideal cottage for our requirements. We have visited North Yorkshire on a number of occasions and we found the location perfect to explore all that the area has to offer. The garden was delightful and after a day out we were able to sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine on the terrace. The chiminea was very useful particularly on the chillier evenings. Overall the quality and comfort of the cottage was of a very high standard.

This is an ideal combination; a country cottage in the heart of a lovely market town. All its amenties are on your doorstep and there's no need for a 'nominated driver' when eating out. Helmsley is a great place for exploring the surrounding countryside and its attractions and the town itself is delightful. If you're looking at this property on-line you'll see that there is no off-street parking, but almost opposite is a street where you can park if you return to the cottage before the shops shut and once they have, you can park outside the cottage. ##### Howard This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Toni 20 Aug 2019 #### The cottage itself is lovely although we feel that it should be a 3 person cottage as the fourth bed The cottage itself is lovely although we feel that it should be a 3 person cottage as the fourth bed was a metal framed pull out type bed and the second bedroom was very small for 2 people. The cottage is situated on the through road of the village so can be very noisy. There is secondary glazing in the lounge but not in the front bedroom which meant that we were woken by cars and farming vehicles from 5:30am on several days of our stay. As there were 4 of us and some people wanted to stay home whilst others went out we asked the owners for a extra door key as only one was supplied, the owners kindly dropped one off to us within 24hours. Lots of local things to do. ##### Toni This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 8 Aug 2019 #### A lovely well equipped cottage ideally located in Helmsley.

Parking the car was no problem just alongside the Cottage. My wife and I have been visiting Helmsley for the past 20 years so, know the area very well. We lived abroad for twelve years and still came to Helmsley for holidays, sometime for stays up to nine weeks during the Christmas season as we didn't get snow where we lived. No one will be disappointed booking Honeysuckle Cottage as the interior is spotless and the garden is terrific and so well kept, (also very private). Highly recommended, we will definately be back !!!! ##### Rick This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie 28 Feb 2019 #### We had a fantastic time at Honeysuckle cottage. We had a fantastic time at Honeysuckle cottage. The property itself is beautifully presented, much nicer than the photos, and really well equipped. The owners have thought of everything. We loved the garden (despite being February!), and the kitchen was great and contained every utensil you could possibly need! The location is perfect too, moments on foot from the centre of Helmsley which is a beautiful market town, and close to lots of great day trips. We really hope to be back again soon. ##### Katie ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [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) > > [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) > > [The Parsonage Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Parsonage-Hotel-Spa.h554901.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 Crown - Hutton le Hole](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Crown.h39483554.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 George Hotel Easingwold](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-George-At-Easingwold.h4001926.Hotel-Information)
