Stay at this exquisite, bijou holiday cottage tucked away in a quiet location in Helmsley; one of the prettiest and most visited market towns in Yorkshire. There is so much to love about this gorgeous little cottage including beautiful contemporary interiors, a cosy wood-burning stove and a stylish urban garden to enjoy. And of course the delights of Helmsley on your doorstep boasting a world class spa and several fine dining restaurants among its many charms. The perfect grown up retreat. The cottage has been transformed into an elegant and luxurious holiday home. It's perfect for couples or young families looking for stylish accommodation in a fantastic market town location. Downstairs you'll find an open-plan space home to the lounge, kitchen and dining area. Heated oak flooring keeps everything nice and toasty and a wood-burning stove provides that real fire atmosphere when you want it. Take your pick from a plush blue velvet sofa or a handsome orange armchair to curl up on. There's a TV with Freeview if you fancy a movie in front of the fire, and high-speed Wi-Fi is provided too. If you want to unplug for a while there are also lots of books and magazines to delve into.

 

The well-designed kitchen has elegant grey units and a sleek white work-top. All mod cons are provided including a ceramic hob, dishwasher and fridge with an ice-box, essential for a chilled drink in the garden. There's also a washing machine, a must if you've been hiking across the moors all day. The dining table sits within an alcove just beside the kitchen. With sunlight streaming in from the rear glass door and a dimmable copper pendant overhead, this is a delightful spot for dining whatever the time of day. Grab yourself some top-notch local produce from one of the excellent delis in town and settle down to a long lazy lunch over a bottle of something good. Both of the bedrooms are upstairs. The chic master bedroom has a striking blue feature wall, a king-size oak bed and a rather divine little walk-in wardrobe. The sweet single second bedroom sits next door. Take a look out the window to find a great view across the rooftops to Helmsley Castle. Upstairs is also home to the wet-room with its large walk-in monsoon shower, the perfect way to wake up each morning.

 

There is much to enjoy outside this charming cottage too. To the front there's a small open garden complete with a bench; make the most of the morning sun with coffee here each morning. To the rear discover a super-stylish contemporary garden which would look at home at Chelsea Flower Show. Sleek sandstone underfoot, cedar panelling and bright white walls combine to create a modern urban feel. The rear garden enjoys sun all afternoon and evening so make the most of it with lunch al fresco. Garden furniture and a BBQ are provided. Off-road parking for one car is included - a big bonus for Helmsley.

Coco is in a fantastic location in Helmsley within an easy stroll of cafes, restaurants and shops. The parking is excellent. The cottage is well equipped and nicely decorated. The courtyard garden is very nice and would be great for a BBQ.

The cottage was well positioned about 300 yards from the centre of Helmsley, an attractive village with very good amenities. The cottage was very good and clean. Had all the equipment we needed and more. We found the seating uncomfortable for us . Parking was good, right outside the cottage.

Coco is a lovely comfortable, clean cottage in an ideal location. We intended to use it as a base for visiting nearby locations but in the event the car never moved and we just relaxed and strolled into Helmsley when we required some shopping or a meal. A memorable wedding anniversary.

A lovely well equipped little house is a very good location. Easy walking to the centre of town and Helmsley is so well situated for all the surrounding towns and villages. Plenty of good eating places around but would recommend The Blacksmith's Arms at Lastingham for superb quality and value for money.

Perfectly positioned and attractive cottage with ample good cafes, restaurants, walks and places of interest closed by. Very steep stairs so unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues. Lovely welcome hamper and good, if in some cases outdated information on village shops and restaurants. Plenty information leaflets on local area things to do.

Disappointing. Needs a good clean in particular the bathroom. Baffled by description of exquisite, gorgeous and luxurious. No heating in bathroom, grossly inadequate towel rail, poor quality towels and bedding-polyester duvet in main bedroom had what appeared to be blood stains on it. Lot of noise from hot tub in garden next door. Shower has no temRead moreperature gauge and water got hotter and hotter-dangerous for small children. Not 5* or in any way luxurious. Hide

Great location- turn right for the short walk to the centre of Helmsley and all its attractions. Wonderful selection of places to see, drink and eat. La Trattoria is well recommended! The Helmsley Deli within the Square sells first class local products. Turn right and right again for the best dog walking! So many places to visit within a 30 minute Read moredrive - spoilt for choice. Accommodation is open plan, homely and is well equiped with everything you need. Our little dog enjoyed the courtyard.

Very cosy and comfortable cottage in a great location only a short walk from Helmsley market square. Welcome pack was gratefully received. The last cottage we stayed in didn't even have salt snd pepper so it was a lovely surprise to have the essentials provided ( teabags, oil etc). Beds were super comfy too.
