“We have just stayed here for a week, 5 of us with 2 dogs.”

The cottage is in an ideal location and only a few minutes walk from the centre of Helmsley. You have everything you need inside the cottage with a beautiful garden and decking area. I would highly recommend castle view and we will certainly be returning.

Perfectly positioned for access to beautiful Helmsley and local walks.

Stephen August 2022

“A totally stunning cottage in the most beautiful village location within walking distance of all the local amenities .”

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.

- Stephen, August 2022

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!

It is a spacious, comfortable, well cared for home with a high standard of furnishings, very well equipped and spotlessly clean. The garden is so pretty and has a lovely deck area.

The house is so very cosy, homely, it has absolutely everything you could wish for & even though we couldn't enjoy sitting out in the garden this time it was great to enjoy it from the lovely conservatory. The house is ideally situated, no need to take groceries, lovely delis, bakeries, greengrocers, co op etc on the doorstep. Great walks from the house, lovely gentle walks in Duncombe Park which we very much enjoyed, even in the rain it was beautuful...finished off with a pint at the Helmsley Brewery..delightful! I can honestly say our stays at Castle View leave such warm happy memories for all my family, hearing my elderly parents say daily how much they are enjoying their stay, how comfortable they are at Castle View...(I think they would move in if they could!) means the world. Thank you Mr & Mrs Reed for sharing your little bit of heaven! We look forward to our next visit very much.

Jacqui March 2019

“We had a brilliant week's holiday in Helmsley.”

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

A real home from home.

It was even better in the evening when the garden lights came on as the garden is very secluded and the area was very quiet. We all had a brilliant week

“The cottage was well equipped and in a perfect location.”

Only two minutes walk to the market square with its good range of shops, deli's and places to eat. There are lots of lovely walks that can be started from the cottage, in particular the Cleveland Way to Rievaulx Abbey; also there's a walk up the lane at the back of the cottage through Ashdale. There's plenty of tourist information in the cottage and the owner was extremely helpful. Helmsley is very central and there are lots of exciting places to visit. The welcome pack and fresh flowers were a delight to find in the kitchen when we arrived.

“Our group was told by the friendly owners to treat the property like a home from home, but when we arrived the property is of a better standard than our homes!”

It is clean, very well equipped and the underfloor heating was a great bonus. There were books, games/toys and videos also for our use. When we arrived there was bread, butter, tea, milk and biscuits left for us, which was a very nice touch. Quiet and lovely but also a convenient location for local services. We really hope to visit again.

“This place is amazing!”

! Group of 10 adults stayed here for a wedding in the 'Black Swan' 2 mins away. Plenty of space for all of us. Everything was thought of down to having milk and bread there when we arrived to having the fire ready to light. (which we really liked seeing as it was snowing when we arrived). It was spotless also and finished to a very high standard. We all loved the kitchen especially the table, it was really nice to all be able to sit down to breakfast together. Castle View is also very close to Hemsley Village which looks like it belongs on a postcard. Lovely town with loads of nice little shops and pubs. We all really enjoyed our stay here and could not fault anything with it. So much so that we're hoping to return in the summer as we really loved the garden space and could not use it due to the below freezing weather.

“A superb property with high standard facilities in an excellent location.”

Additional facilities like the toys for the children were well received. The rooms were spacious, clean and tidy. The attention to detail was very much appreciated. Excellent storage space. Local information about things to do and places to go was helpful. Fantastic value for money and the whole process from booking very easy. Would definitely recommend and use again.

“The property was home from home.”

Very comfortable and well presented. The garden had been landscaped, very pretty. It was apparent the owners wanted guests to enjoy their stay, with extras such as the bikes, games, dvd's and modern up to date furnishings! The house was in the perfect location for Helmsley, just a short stroll, up a side road from the main square.

“The cottage was superb - fit the bill perfectly for a large family get-together for a 70th birthday.”

Plenty of space for everyone and the extra bonus of toys for the kids if the weather turned. Standard of furnishings was excellent and the central location in the centre of Helmsley meant getting around was easy. Golden memories for everyone. We had a wonderful time.

“Lovely big spacious property furnished to a high standard.”

Well located for town centre, including pubs and castle. The cottage was very well equipped with everything you could need. The garden was beautiful with decking area and chiminea for bbq and fire. The owners seem to have thought of absolutely everything, try as we might we couldn't think of anything negative - it even had bikes in the shed. If the property belonged to me I wouldn't want to share it...

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.

Please note: short breaks must be from Monday to Friday or Friday to Monday.
