The Dower Cottage

About this property

A pretty floral garden with patio furnishings and a gazebo, a spacious, modern kitchen and a homely living room with an open fire make The Dower Cottage, in Helmsley, a perfect choice for a peaceful family break. Our cottage sleeps four, set in spacious lawned and paved grounds with a private, enclosed garden. It joins on to our own farm, so we're on hand should you need anything, but we aim to keep out of your way and let you enjoy a secluded break. The cottage features cycle storage facilities and on-site parking, and we provide garden games to entertain our younger guests.

The Dower Cottage is surrounded by well-marked walking paths, loved by all who visit. It's a countryside retreat, but is close enough to shops and pubs to offer everything you need for a great self-catering break. Our traditional local pub serves a selection of great British meals, or you can cook in the on-site kitchen using your own Aga range cooker. Local attractions in Helmsley include an open air swimming pool and National Trust properties, whilst further afield you'll find the Eden Camp Museum, Castle Howard, the Flamingo Land theme park and the North York Moors Steam Railway in Pickering. We're within driving distance of York, close to the coastal resort of Scarborough, and just a few minutes from the border of the North York Moors National Park. In nearby Dalby Forest, you'll find family favourite Go Ape!, and within half an hour you'll find the quaint Robin Hood's Bay. Book your visit online, or call us now for a great price.
