Perfectly positioned on the edge of the North York Moors, it’s ideal for enjoying days out exploring the abundant walking routes the area offers and is at the start of the Cleveland Way.

Pinfold Cottage is ideally located in the heart of Helmsley with all its attractions close to the door. We arrived in 3 cars and were initially concerned about parking but we found adequate spaces on Canons Garth Lane and Carlton Lane, in addition to the one allocated parking space in the courtyard. The Cottage is generally spacious, the only critiRead morecism being the en-suite in one of the bedrooms which is very small. The downstairs toilet did become a substitute facility, especially when needing the use of a decent sized sink for shaving etc. The kitchen provides all the necessary requirements with a more than adequate quantity of cutlery, crockery and glasses. The property is warm with underfloor heating and the use of a wood burner in the lounge which we used as the outside temperature dropped to freezing. Two points to note 1) dont follow the navigation instructions taking you up Elmslac Close at the side of the Black Swan, instead drive up Canons Garth Lane to the courtyard and 2) if using the back gate onto Elmslac Close to walk into town be careful of the 5 steps onto the lane. They werent well lit and a face plant was only just avoided. We had a great time and really enjoyed the Cottage. Hide

The house is ideally located just off the market place with welcoming neighbours, although not many occupied properties. It suited 3 generations and is a well equipped house. The double bedroom is quite a squeeze to get past the bed which is something to consider if mobility is an issue. The lounge is very comfortable. We found the beds to be vRead moreery firm but that is personal preference. Its a great town and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed a great meal at Trattoria and delicious ice creams at Hunters of Helmsley. Hide

Pinfold cottage was perfect for our stay. Three 3 ensuite room are rare to find. And it's in a great location. Close enough to the town square to easily walk but far enough to be away from the noise.

Beautiful, well equipped modern townhouse just moments walk from the town centre. Several excellent pubs, cafes and restaurants close by. We had a wonderful stay. Not very spacious but I guess that's the trade off for a convenient central location.

The cottage was by the far the best we have ever rented (and we have rented many throughout the world!) Modern facilities above and beyond expectations (tvs in bathrooms and a speaker system to die for!). It was really warm and comfortable (very important for a stay in February!), extremely clean and easy walking distance to the town pubs, shops anRead mored restaurants. The furniture, fittings and bedding were excellent quality. We will certainly recommend to friends and would hope to return!! Thankyou! Hide

We have stayed in a fair few cottages over the years and though some were lovely many were extremely disappointing and a complete let down. Many have been period cottages but for some reason that resulted in quaint equals dingy and dirty, Pinfold cottage looked amazing on the website and the reality was a real treat. It was modern but cosy , cleanRead more and comfortable and had everything needed for a week away. Couldnt fault it The cottage was situated in a great location too with everything a short walk away.

We have been staying in cottages in the UK for several years and Pinfold Cottage was clearly the best place we've stayed. All was to our satisfaction. And the village ... just within walking distance ... was as delightful as the cottage. We will be back!! (And we're in the States!)
