It is easy to find and access. Parking is secure and low cost so huge bonus. Very conveniently situated in the centre close to the cathedral. Lots of interesting eateries around which I’d like to try. Although central not noisy so sleep not disturbed. I was working but would love to come back and explore the city. Host was super responsive and patient when I needed further information. I would stay again

It is on the second floor which was easily manageable as there is no lift but a slight faff if you are tired. The sofa didn’t suit me for comfort but that is a personal thing

The Riverside Inn is really oldie worldie. The room has lots of original oak beams and features. Lots of little extras too like a coffee machine, teas and biscuits 😁 It is conveniently located next to a large shopping mall so ideal for food or other stuff you might need. There is a lovely walk next to the river Chelmer

The food in the Riverside Inn was not great. Maybe we got them on a bad day. I had the Fish and Chips. Fish was overdone and really tasteless. The staff were great that served it though😄

The property was very central to Helmsley, we liked the fact that the village was literally on your doorstep. The accommodation was very spacious and comfortable, however we felt it did lack certain essentials.

- There were only 3 main dinner plates provided, not enough for the 4 people stopping - There were only 5 mugs available - more would have been better given there was a dishwasher - There were only small glasses provided, considering there is a brewery just down the road we had to purchase our own pint glasses (which we took home) - The lounge was very spacious, however there were no occasional tables to put drinks etc. on - The lighting in the lounge/diner could have been better. There was a standard lamp and a 'light feature' in the lounge that gave inadequate lighting for the whole area. The alternative was to put the spotlights on in the dining area which was much too bright. A second standard lamp or similar at the other end of the room would improve this. - There was no lock on the bathroom door! We were a party of 2 couples sharing the one bathroom, so had to devise a system to indicate the bathroom was occupied to avoid embarrassing interruptions. - A 'nice to have' would be blackout blinds/curtains in the bedrooms, particularly the rear bedroom as it gets the early morning sun shining through the paper thin curtains - There was too much 'furniture' in the front bedroom (wardrobes and drawers), however not enough practical space to put items, e.g. no bedside cabinets - The heating controls are situated above a door. This was fine for me as I am over 6ft, however the shorter members of the party could only access this by precariously balancing on a chair

I liked the cleanliness of the apartment and how well organised everything was when I arrived at the property.

The free WiFi went in and out too much, causing issues for my work. The mattress was apparently worn out as I could feel the springs, therefore did not sleep great for both the nights. Lastly, the communication regarding key collection was too late. I had to chase booking.com team as well as host multiple times to manage to get the details around my check-in.
