We booked The Witches Cottage late on the Tuesday evening and we arrived the Wednesday afternoon. We met Veronica on arrival who welcomed us to the cottage, and she let us know she was jyst next door if we needed anything at all. We wanted somewhere to relax and enjoy. That's exactly what the Cottage gave us, what a fabulous place to stay. With itsRead more luxurious decor and comfort, it was the perfect location and close to Helmsley. Everything about the cottage was perfect for our 4 day break. Hide
