• "Castle View is a fabulous holiday cottage in the heart of beautiful Helmsley."

  The cottage is extremely well equipped, warm, inviting and comfortable. The location is a very short walk to the square in Helmsley. It was lovely to meet Helen the owner of the property, her reassurance that if we had any issues with the property, we could contact her - no contact was necessary. We had a great holiday and would certain return to Castle View.

• "This was a fabulous property for our large group aged 12 to 79, and 2 labradors."

  It was one of the few pet permitted places we have stayed that is genuinely pet friendly! It was exceptionally clean with lots of nice extra touches, and no skimping on the heating! Everything was well thought out, and all needs catered for. The owner Helen was lovely, and very attentive. We had a fantastic time and would love to return in the future. A little gem in a beautiful location.

  Can only get one small car on the drive but space outside the property for a couple more. Great location for eating out in Helmsley & great walks without having to use the car.

• "What a lovely place to stay!"

  The house was clean and comfortable and so spacious, I didn't want to leave it. Location is perfect, Helmsley is a popular place to visit, so to be a couple of mins walk to the market square with your own parking space is wonderful. House instructions are clear, lots of helpful info in the welcome pack, also the owner is so welcoming, she sent the welcome pack early in case I wanted to make restaurant reservations as I was travelling during a busy time. I'd love to go back!

  Thank you so much. Yes we too love that the house is so close to everything yet nice and quiet. And we would be delighted to welcome you back! Property Owner

  Perfectly positioned for access to beautiful Helmsley and local walks. We were a group of six and a dog and the house was so spacious with everything thought off and very cosy too…we had an open fire most nights. The house was in excellent order and immaculate.

  We had a wonderful holiday and had the most amazing weather, we LOVED the outdoor village swimming pool!! Helmsley is lucky to have such a wonderful asset. The cottage has everything you could possibly need and suited out needs perfectly as the ground floor bedroom and shower room was ideal for elderly parents. The cottage was spotlessly clean, very well equipped and felt very homely. The lovely garden was great for a family bbq and we enjoyed looking out on to it from the fantastic conservatory. We will definitely return to this property as we had such a lovely time exploring North Yorkshire. Thank you for everything, we can tell a lot of thought, care and attention has gone into this holiday home.

  Thank you Stephen, we are delighted that you had such a great holiday and we totally agree with you that the open air swimming pool is a wonderful thing! We are really pleased that your parents found the downstairs facilities ideal. It would be wonderful to welcome you and the family back sometime. Property Owner

  I know the area well and chose it for my seventieth birthday with a luncheon at the Wheelhouse of the Star Inn in Harome, Andrew Pern's Michelin star restaurant .Our accommodation was very comfortable and warm with my 4 year old granddaughter wishing she could stay there for ever ! They loved playing with the toys in the house. Castle View is ideally situated close to the market square, very secluded with attractive gardens and an area for BBQ 's. There is also a new Italian restaurant in the centre of town where the pizzas are the best I have ever tasted and definitely worth a visit . We had an excursion Piglets Homestead with a tractor ride around the farm , a large barn play area and mini tractors for the children to ride on; with opportunities to feed the animals and see the new born piglets and lambs.Should you wish to spend a day in York, it's best to use the park and ride there's lots of museums catering for all ages , as well as York Minister and if you are not from the North then a visit to Betty's for lunch or afternoon tea. We look forward to returning to Castle View The location is fabulous
