Everything we could need for the week was available and easy to us We enjoyed a lovely holiday here! Everything we could need for the week was available and easy to use, and the cottage was very clean (We did find a couple of spiders but this is to be expected at this time of year in the countryside). The town of Helmsley is lovely with plenty of places to explore and eat, though we did have to travel a little for a supermarket as there were only Co-ops/Costcutters in the town. On the whole though we had a lovely time and would definitely come back again!
