Perfect location for Helmsley Castle, walled gardens, national centre for birds of prey and eating places. Accommodation very good and clean - great shower and useful fridge,

Initial parking and access to Stilworth House from the rear was slightly confusing for us - maybe we missed something in the guidance instructions. The host was very helpful in showing us how to proceed as soon as we met her. Useful space could be enhanced by furniture changes: remove large wardrobe, smaller chest of drawers, move fridge so it doesn't block the window, and provide another two electric sockets.

Fresh, clean, comfortable and characterful accomcodation in a beautiful location. Great cooked breakfast! Friendly and helpful hosts. Peaceful setting, yet only a couple of minutes' walk from the bustling market square with its historic inns, restaurants, cafes and independent shops. Lovely walks and heritage sites nearby. Highly recommended.

Nothing, it was a lovely stay.

Very welcoming hosts who were genuinely concerned for our comfort. Delicious, fulsome breakfast, cooked to order. Lovely very well equipped and comfortable room. Excellent location for exploring all aspects of Helmsley and beyond. Very quiet and peaceful despite being in the centre of town

WiFi just a tad slow but not a problem.

This is a really friendly and well situated B&B. Our room was cosy and warm. So often I am disappointed to find just one comfortable chair in a room booked for two people but here we had two lovely comfortable chairs. Our breakfast was delicious. There was a good choice and everything was cooked to order. Lovely fresh fruit too.

Super friendly host Carol makes you feel like a family friend. Everywhere absolutely spotlessly clean, which is always reassuring when you're staying away. Excellent location tucked away, with private parking, yet a minute's walk away from the centre of Hemsley. Awesome breakfast tailored to preference. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Perfect in every way. I would heartily recommend and will definitely be visiting again.

There were no negatives.

Fabulous location, the accommodation was spotlessly clean with some lovely touches such as fresh milk in the fridge, biscuits on the tea tray, little sweets, and chocolate by the bed on arrival. As for the hosts, Carol and Frank, they couldn't do enough for you, so friendly and helpful, with a 5 star breakfast you couldn't get better anywhere else and we will definitely be back. Thank you both xx

Nothing to not like

We would have rated the property as excellent but the the room was very small and rather cramped. It was not possible for example to sit comfortably in the two chairs. However in every other way everything was excellent. Carol was very helpful; the breakfast could not be surpassed; and the room was exceptionally clean and very well resourced. The position of the house is brilliant being a couple of minutes walk from the centre of Helmsley.

Just the size of the room.

This beautiful house is right in the centre of Helmsley a few minutes walk from the main square and next to the castle and walked garden. Carol, the host, was very friendly and helpful. We didn't have breakfast, so I can't comment on it but imagine it will have been a hearty Yorkshire breakfast. Beautiful gardens right outside the door. Linen was very clean and tea, coffee, fresh milk and chocolate HobNobs provided in the room, along with a little fridge. Good hot shower as well.

Nothing I didn't like - would have had breakfast if it had been served a little later - only served between 8-9am. It was just a bit early for us because of the nature of our visit.

Lovely, warm hosts. So friendly and helpful, was made to feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble for them. Room was clean and homely and in keeping with its setting. Breakfast was tasty with plenty of variety. Just what we needed for our walk through the beautiful countryside. Thankyou Carol for making our stay so enjoyable.

Nothing.

Lovely B&B in a superb location in Helmsley, a short walk to the square and a short walk to the walled garden. Breakfast was delicious and the owner, Carol, couldn’t have done more for us. Fresh milk in the room fridge daily was a nice touch. There was also a parking space for our use, saving on car-parking fees. Each of the 3 rooms has its own door leading onto the garden, so it’s very private and feels quite secluded, even in the heart of Helmsley.

We were in the twin room, and the door to the bathroom was very creaky. Carol mentioned she plans on replacing it soon.
