Enjoying a prime location just 125 metres from the market square in Helmsley, this exquisite property adds a touch of luxury to your North York Moors holiday. Part of a small, gated development, this exclusive five-star property has ample accommodation for up to six guests and also welcomes one four-legged friend. Featuring beautifully styled interiors, a welcome pack of premium goodies, and thoughtful touches throughout, it makes a magical base for family get-togethers and special occasions.

This three-storey property is a real gem. Light and spacious with an eye for great design, yet homely and welcoming, too. Downstairs, the main living areas are open-plan and thoughtfully laid out.

Then cosy up in the elegant lounge with a glass of wine to catch up on each other’s news or relax with a good book or film, in front of a roaring wood burner when the need arises. Outside, a small courtyard invites you to sip a morning cuppa or sundowner in warm weather. A double and king-size bedroom on the first floor and a second king-size on the top floor ensure a good night’s sleep for all.

Cygnet Cottage is a gem in all regards, e.g. location, layout, equipment, comfort, and cleanliness. Check out its website for photos of the great accommodations. We stayed there for five nights. Helmsley has good restaurants and a grocery store at the town square, which is within a short walking distance from Cygnet Cottage. Hiking in the area iRead mores terrific as the Cleveland Way runs through the town. In addition, there are a of nearby historic properties to tour and a wonderful Walled Garden to enjoy. Hide

Cygnet Cottage is a lovely cottage right in the middle of Helmsley with easy access both to the shops, restaurants and pubs as well as great walking from the door. The bedrooms are very comfortable and all ensuite. The living area is well set up but a little small for 6. We had a great week.

Cygnet cottage was clean and comfortable, but there were only 4 of us, the ground floor would have been a bit of a squeeze if there'd been 6 of us. It is nicely decorated and has god quality bedding and towels. It's ideally located for the pretty market town, which has some excellent restaurants and lovely shops

A wonderful stay in a very well situated warm cottage, a very short stroll to the town square and its many shops and restaurants, with the added benefit of onsite parking.

Only reasons we didnt give top marks were : there wasnt enough comfortable seating for 5 adults in living area,could do with removing the sideboard/drawer unit & putting a bigger sofa in that space instead, TV quite high up on wall neck aching after a while, No kettle,not all of us confident in using the Quooker tap,boiling hot. Couldnt operateRead more the heating in the loft/master suite, not a major problem as ithe weather was kind to us whilst staying there, ,no TV in there either, could do with a small shelf in the bathroom to put toothbrush & toothpaste on. as sink is very close to the toilet . Other than that the property was fabulous,location perfect & we all enjoyed our stay there. Hide

Not a cottage but a very nice and well equipped modern townhouse in a great location. Would have preferred central heating instead of underfloor heating because direct heating is quicker to warm you after a cold day out. Easy to find and about 5 minute walk to the market square which has a well stocked CoOp and a fantastic butcher selling fresh meaRead moret and lovely baked goods and sandwiches. We loved the takeout coffee from Barkers cafe too. Lovely enough to drink black Hide
