“We chose the retreat as it was just around the corner from our wedding venue, we wanted somewhere where my now Husband could get ready the morning of the wedding and somewhere where we could stay on the Sunday and chill out after the wedding, what a hidden gem, so quite, relaxing, with everything you need and more. We will definitely be returning. Thank you again for a wonderful weekend!”

“Just returned from another visit to Helmsley retreat, it is a mews cottage, small, but makes the most of every bit of space. The interiors are cozy, stylish and spotless, everything you need for a comfortable getaway. The spa garden with its sauna and hot tub is a real highlight, making it extra special. It is dog friendly, which is such a rare find when looking for somewhere luxurious ( ‘dog friendly ‘ accommodation is usually a bit basic in our experience) We hope to be back again soon.”
