It has two large, elegant sitting rooms and a panelled dining room, perfect for formal dinners. We loved the house, its rambling corridors, comfortable bedrooms and elegant and fascinating objects and furniture. Perfect for a country house weekend. ##### Conrad R.

We made excellent use of the tennis court, jigsaws, scrabble and playing cards. The bedrooms and beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was very well stocked/equipped. The dining room was able to accommodate our large group for a couple of dinners brought in from local restaurants!!! Our stay at Helmsley Hall was thoroughly lovely, and our hosts/property managers were available if needed, and gave us all the information we needed to help our stay be just what we expected. Thank you!!!! ##### Kathryn R. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris W. 16 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy What an experience! Fantastic property for a large group. We were a party of 11 and a puppy and there was more than enough room for us all. Very grand residence but also super comfortable. The grounds were ideal - the tennis court a real bonus! Welcome pack was a nice touch and David, the caretaker very welcoming. ##### Chris W.
