About Cygnet Cottage

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. Sip a drink at the breakfast bar while the chosen chef prepares dinner, and enjoy memorable meals gathered around the dining table. 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. All bedrooms have en-suites with waterfall showers and night lighting; two of them also have a bath and built-in smart mirror TVs. Helmsley offers a cosmopolitan base with attractions for all ages. This picturesque market town (market day is Friday) has some wonderful historic attractions, including the ruins of Helmsley Castle and the beautiful walled gardens below. It’s a pleasant walk to Duncombe Park and the National Centre for Birds of Prey (1 mile) and the ruins of Rievalux Abbey (3 miles). There’s also an Arts Centre, while the town acts as a gateway to the North York Moors.

Cygnet Cottage Reviews

Stephen
The house has been done out very well making good use of the space available and finished to a high spec . En-suites in every bedroom is very convenient. It is very close to the centre of the town and has private parking. We had a great stay.
Lisa
The central position of this property was brilliant, the cottage itself was clean, bright and well equipped. As it was the light switch on and the beginning of Christmas it would have been lovely to have walked into just a few decorations. We realise that there are safety issues but artificial would have been very acceptable. Xx
Frances
The cottage is ideally situated, with parking. Very close to the market square and the centre of Helmsley.
Melanie
We had a fabulous stay for my husbands 60th birthday, with our dog and 2 other couples. The location could not be any better, so close to the village and its amenities, and walks direct from the door. The property is very well equipped, very clean and very comfortable. One of the nicest places we have stayed in, in our 21 years of frequent short breaks in North Yorkshire.
Joan
A lovely home very comfortable,clean and the location was just great.
Michael
We had a wonderful weekâ??s holiday in this lovely cottage in beautiful Helmsley. We had a slight problem in operating the heating which was very quickly resolved by the owner. We will return.
Martyn
Comfortable, quiet and convenient. Great beds and hot baths. More tech than needed but it does not get in the way of a chilled week. More than big enough for 2 well spread out , yet not so vast that we ever felt we rattled around.
Matt
A well presented cottage a couple of minutes walk from Helmsley market square and its shops and restaurants. The cottage is modern and well furnished and a very comfortable place to stay for our week in Yorkshire
Jill
Lovely cottage centrally located for lots of attractions. A fantastic cottage for groups of friends or a family with older children.
Dawn
Lovely house, spotlessly clean in a great location. Very comfortable and well equipped.
Nick
Modern 3 storey townhouse with all mod cons. Set in a relatively new courtyard development at the back of the Black Swan hotel, convenient location 150m from the Town Square. Clean and extremely functional.
Jennifer
Beautiful house in a great position in Helmsley. Only 2 minutes walk away from the town centre with all its amenities. House was well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Spotless. Log burner great for cosy nights in. Highly recommend.
Linda
Great location.
Joseph
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 is 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.

Kath
This is a high quality end property in a superb location. En suite bedrooms in all three rooms were fabulous!
Charlotte
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.
