    “We have just returned home from a lovely cosy week away to the Bellwether.”

    We had a fabulous week visiting so many different places, Helmsley town centre is lovely for breakfast and cakes and coffee, Castle Howard is worth a visit, and York isn’t too far away either. The shepherds hut was so cosy and had everything we needed. The sheep and goats and the hares and pheasants are lovely to watch. We had the best view from our hut and despite the weather being chilly we still managed to sit out and enjoy the scenery by the chiminea. We even managed to fit in a lovely ...

    We had a fabulous week visiting so many different places, Helmsley town centre is lovely for breakfast and cakes and coffee, Castle Howard is worth a visit, and York isn’t too far away either. The shepherds hut was so cosy and had everything we needed. The sheep and goats and the hares and pheasants are lovely to watch. We had the best view from our hut and despite the weather being chilly we still managed to sit out and enjoy the scenery by the chiminea. We even managed to fit in a lovely massage with Fiona, highly recommended.Thank you so much for our stay and we have already booked to return again in the summer.

About the location

HELMSLEY

Kirkbymoorside 6 miles; Thirsk 14 miles; Pickering 13 miles; York 26 miles.

Lying in a sheltered corner of Upper Ryedale, on the southern edge of the North York Moors National Park, Helmsley is a prestigious market town with a spacious market square surrounded by houses, hotels and shops. The area is important historically - Helmsley has its own 12th century castle and English Heritage’s Rievaulx Abbey and Castle Howard are close by. Helmsley also boasts an arts centre showing films and plays, and an outdoor swimming pool, which is open during the summer. There is excellent walking on the doorstep - indeed the Cleveland Way starts in Helmsley - and the surrounding North York Moors with their hidden dales and villages are pretty in all seasons. York is less than an hour's drive south, as is Scarborough, Whitby and the east coast, whilst Pickering and the beginning of the famous steam railway line (North Yorkshire Moors Railway) are a little over 20 minutes' drive.

The owner is due to start work on converting a farm out building. Work will start on the 18 October 2021 and due to be completed by the 01 December 2021.
