We are very proud of Holly-Garth, and fell in love with the house as soon as we saw it. We didn't want a 'lock up and leave' property, but one which puts back into the local community, and which gives our guests as much pleasure as we get on the few occasions we stay there. It is so rewarding getting the feedback from guests who have had a really special time at Holly-Garth, and not only have we met some lovely people, but we have a core of clients that have stayed every year for many years. We want our guests to walk in and be absolutely delighted, and also to be able to settle in and start their holiday immediately. We also make a few small changes every so often, and sometimes some big ones like the new bathrooms in 2021. More than anything else, we want people to arrive at Holly-garth and feel like they have come home.

Helmsley is a busy but quiet market town, with a lot of interesting shops, teashops and restaurants, not to mention its pubs and hotels. It boasts its own quite significant castle, the Birds of Prey Centre at Duncombe park, and plenty of walks to suit all ages and capabilities in the local area. The Cleveland way begins in Helmsley, and it is a moderate walk to the beautiful and atmospheric ruined Rievaulx Abbey. A short drive will see you on the moors, or you can visit spectacular York, with its Minster, museums, shopping and Mediaeval streets. A short journey to Pickering and you can take the North York Moors Railway to Goathland, Grosmont and Whitby. The seaside towns of Whitby and Scarborough are also within reach either by car or by bus, and Helmsley is well situated in North Yorkshire for its scenery, stately homes and other attractions.
