The Barn Guest House and Tearoom, hotel in Helmsley

The Barn Guest House and Tearoom, a property with a shared lounge, is set in Hutton le Hole, 17 km from Flamingo Land Theme Park, 24 km from Dalby Forest, as well as 43 km from Peasholm Park.

The location is great, now very quiet. Check the opening times of the village inn as it has reduced opening days. The owners are very friendly , helpful and always contactable. The breakfasts are superb, lots of variety and in a great setting. As a dog owner we appreciate the consideration of the owners towards the use of outside spaces. There are good walking routes from the door and the villagers we met were friendly and chatty. The village location is within an hour of the sea (ask the owner for advice). Thankyou.

Fourways Guest House, hotel in Helmsley

Fourways Guest House is located in Thirsk. Free Wi-Fi access is available. Rooms here will provide you with a flat-screen tv. There is also an electric kettle.

We went to Thirsk for two nights to watch the horse racing and found that the location was excellent with easy access to the racetrack and the town. The hosts were nice and friendly, even giving us advice on how to decide what horse to pick in the race. The room was very clean, and I noticed that they had even replenished our complimentary biscuits. Breakfast was excellent with perfectly cooked poached eggs. (Thank you Mark) The building is a very old building and I thought it gave the accommodation a bit of character. They had their own private car park, so the parking was free. I have no hesitation in recommending The Four Ways Guest House as a good place to stay when in Thirsk. I thought the place was very nice however because it’s an old building the stairs maybe a bit steep if you have mobility issues. If you are fit and well then, its a great place to stay so if you are going to Thirsk this is a good choice.

    The hosts were simply lovely…..they were very welcoming,gave great tips on what do and where to go. The room was spotless and beautifully presented, the bed was huge and I had a fantastic nights sleep. The breakfast was varied, the Greek yogurt and fresh fruit was lovely. On our last day we were given a goody bag of their scones which were delicious, thank you.
