Rose Cottage in Helmsley is the perfect base for any kind of holiday. There are many options to fill your days. Helmsley is a lovely town and although the cottage is near the centre it is very quiet. The cottage is very comfortable and the living spaces are well designed. If you stay at Rose Cottage in colder months we are sure you will be warm andRead more comfortable. The parking space at the back is handy. The beds were excellent (also for a 6.6 foot husband). Love to come again! Hide
