The HAM and Cheese ★★★

"This is my favorite hotel during this trip to the UK. It's really like the kind of hotel in a classic novel, with a bar or restaurant downstairs and several guest rooms upstairs. The driver thought that the conditions of such a hotel would be very poor and not as good as a hotel. Actually no, it’s very nice inside, clean, comfortable, spacious and unique! The most unforgettable thing for me was that on the day of arrival, I was menstruating and I didn’t have any sanitary napkins. I was very anxious because there were no supermarkets around and the location was quite remote. I booked this place because I wanted to take the Pickering Steam Train the next day. Hotel. I ate on the first floor and told the waiter about my difficulties. I didn't express myself accurately. The waiter went to the back to get dry paper towels, wet paper towels, and sanitary napkins, and asked me which one I needed. I pointed at the sanitary napkin. She went to the back and gave me three pieces, which were wrapped so that no one else could see them. I thanked her very much and wanted to give her money, but she didn’t want it. I gave her a brooch I bought the day before yesterday, and she happily accepted it. I was very happy!"

Jean's Place ★★★★

The Union Inn & Restaurant ★★★

White Horse Farm Inn ★★★

"Very nice location would recommend to go and stay. Friendly and helpful staff."

The Royal Oak Hotel ★★★

"Eating in Helmsley for the first time and without a reservation we were extremely lucky to have found The Royal Oak. Friendly staff, excellent, freshly prepared, home cooked food served in a traditional pub. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening."

Brickfields Farm ★★★★

"Just returned from a wonderful weekend here. We were very impressed with everything! Our room was beautiful, it had a lovely view over fields where we watched rabbits and monk jack playing. Our breakfast was cooked to order and to perfection! Lovely friendly staff and nothing is too much trouble. We stayed in The Rose room"

The Feathers Hotel, Helmsley, North Yorkshire ★★★★

"Deluxe room was clean but very small. Twin beds were inches apart from each other with no room to move further apart. Meals were only adequate, the main courses we had both chosen from the evening menu weren’t available, sold out by 7pm, so we had to select alternatives, which were less than inspiring. Altogether a rather disappointing experience"

The Black Swan - the Inn Collection Group ★★★★

Craven Garth Cottages ★★★

"We cannot recommend Craven Garth Cottages enough! We stayed here with our families, bridesmaids and groomsmen for our wedding at Danby Castle (about 20 mins away) and everything was beyond our expectations! Everyone was so pleased with their cottages which were clean, had all the needed amenities and even had lovely welcome packs. It was amazing being able to find somewhere we could have all of our wedding party together. The location and setting was beautiful, everyone couldn’t get over it! There is also a beautiful garden area which Jeremy gave us permission to have a BBQ the day after our wedding to extend the celebrations, even with additional guests who weren’t staying at the cottages, which was amazing and we really appreciated! We will definitely be back! "
