All Was great

10.0 / 10.0

fantastic cottage in a wonderful part of the world - brilliant

tremendous place - two minute walk from the shops, pubs and eateries so location absolutely perfect; similarly, it's a ten minute drive to be in the midst of the most amazing scenery; property itself was great - very well equipped kitchen, and everything else just fine - particularly good to be able to get the woodburner fired up of an evening for additional festive glee - loved it

no complaints at all

9.0 / 10.0

Lovely cottage

Location was excellent, the cottage was homely, very clean & had all the equipment we needed.

It would have been nice to have firelighters or paper. The pillows are Horrendous! The most uncomfortable we have ever had, really need replacing. We could not find clear instructions regarding the house so we're unsure what leaving instructions were.

10.0 / 10.0

Perfect stay , it was a second visit and would return

Perfect location , just a short walk to the centre , lovely log burner for the cold nights , cosy little cottage

Got cold during the night , perhaps a thicker quilt for the winter months may be needed, but when heating came on later it was cosy.

Lovely staff with family

Good location very close to the centre of Helmsley. Lovely cottage, well furnished and warm. The garden space was also nice although not much chance to use in damp November!

8.0 / 10.0

Fantastic location to explore beautiful Helmsley and surrounding villages.

Location, comfortable beds, nice shower.

Dirty glasses and cutlery on arrival. Coffee machine water storage hadn’t been cleaned. The log burner hadn’t been emptied from previous guests. Dust on several ledges.

8.0 / 10.0

A comfortable cottage in a lovely little town.

A cosy, comfortable cottage with a great enclosed garden.

It would have been better with a decent cleaning cloth, some floor cleaner and if it was clear in the arrival instructions that the keys in the key safe on the outside were for the door inside - not the door on the street.

The location was excellent , loved the facilities , lovely garden to sit out , good size bedrooms and excellent shower , will definitely be returning .

9.0 / 10.0

Comfortable, clean and easy to get to Helmsley market square and amenities within a 2 minute walk.

The location to Helmesley Square to the property was exceptional and easy to reach (and a flat walk) within 2 minutes. Parking wasn't an issue.

One toilet roll. Limited kitchen utensils. Garden beds were untidy.

Absolutely perfect

Perfect very central and everything we wanted there

Nothing it was perfect but couldn’t understand all the messages and never been asked for my passport before and £30 for early check in thought was a little steep

Welcoming & cosy cottage in a great location

Great location in Helmsley, no parking at property but we managed to get close by. Lovely cottage, very homely & welcoming, decor excellent. Kitchen / dining area very light and plenty of crockery, cutlery etc & a dishwasher is a bonus. Outside space very secure & great for the dog

Only downside is the parking, otherwise all great

9.0 / 10.0

Great, although Host and Stay appeared to be back footed by my booking through booking.com

The cafetière was broken on arrival, so no way to make coffee other than buying expensive pods A spare loo roll would have been nice.

Excellent short break .

Excellent location in Helmsley . Short walk to shops and pubs . The cottage was extremely well furnished and equipped and very comfortable.

Good

Well furnished very clean great location

Booked through booking.com but then had to also register with 'host and stay' and pay additional insurance deposit. Bit of a faff when I use booking.com for the ease of booking.

8.0 / 10.0

A nice stay, well located, a bit penny pinching.

Nice, clean, simple, comfortable with charm. Very close to the main square which worked well. Nicely decorated. The instructions for the property were clear.

I think generally for the sake of a few quid, providing some dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid and shower gel is a fairly basic ask. Two coffee pods also for the duration felt like rations. Who shows up for a two night stay with dishwasher tablets and fairy liquid?? These stays are not cheap and when you have to head out to the Coop for what would seem a few simple essentials it dents the experience unnecessarily. I would suggest they are a little more generous - or add a £5 to the rate and provide a little welcome pack or something.

7.0 / 10.0

Pleasant cottage and a good retreat from the rain. Very well located to visit Helmsley’ shops, places to eat and drink a

Spacious, clean. Lovely enclosed garden. Plenty kitchen equipment.

Some of the pans were dirty. The shower temperature was difficult to control. Shower cubicle and tray were not the cleanest either.

Superb

Wee gem of a cottage in the beautiful village of Helmsley which has lots to offer. Willow Cottage is fully appointed, cosy and comfy. The enclosed garden was great for our dog to go wander about in. 💯 would recommend and return

wonderful short break

The central location The decor and furnishings The garden and access to it Large airy rooms cleanliness Quiet neighbourhood Good facilities in the cottage

on street parking , busy road to find a spot TV couldn’t get live access , had to watch on iPlayer etc. Not the end of the world though as hardly watched any tv maybe a full length mirror would be good

Great location, comfy beds, very well equipped, lovely garden, just perfect.

Just the bathroom lock was a little stiff and tricky to lock and open.

Relaxing short break in Willow cottage & Helmsley.

Willow cottage is in an excellent location, just a small walk into Helmsley & parking straight outside. Helmsley is a friendly village with excellent eating & drinking.

All was good

not cleaned prior to our arrival.

10.0 / 10.0

Comfortable and very convenient.

This cottage is in the perfect location, the village centre is only just around the corner. It is very clean and well presented, there is everything you could need in the kitchen. The garden is delightful with a lovely seating area. We would definitely stay here again. We were able to park outside, sometimes at the other side of the road but that was fine.

Our only small gripe would be that the shower temperature is difficult to adjust, the power of the shower is good. It’s not enough of an issue to deduct a star from the rating.

lovely quality cottage close to town

lovely cosy well appointed cottage very close to town centre

constant emails from the management company saying what we could or couldn’t do reminding us twice we couldn’t check in til 4 and we had to check out at 10 am - felt like harassment and the request for a large sum of money up front to cover “damage” I thought was out of order nearly as much as the rental cost we chose to pay instead a one off cost for insurance but soured the trip really as this wasn’t clear on booking. the shower temperature was difficult to control and the bathroom smelled of sewer, the curtains covered the radiators so blocked heat coming out. it is a lovely cottage but the above spoilt it

it was ok served the purpose

location good

parking was terrible also got woken up at 5.15 by next door going to work and a smell of drains
