The Garth is a beautiful home set in a quiet village. It is a 5 minute walk to Helmsley Market Square where you'll find lots of shops and cafes. The accommodation itself was clean and comfortable with all equipment needed available plus some welcome packs which were a lovely touch. The garden was well maintained and peaceful. Would recommend this as a peaceful haven or a great base to relax after exploring Yorkshire.

Lovely cottage with great location. Very quiet estate. 5 min shortcut to Helmsley itself which is a fantastic market town. Plenty of good long walks from your door in beautiful countryside. I would recommend to anyone wanting to spend time in that part of the world.
