Enjoyed recent stay at Little Barn, well equipped, bed was comfortable and good shower. Centrally located within Helmsley for access to shops/eating places. Private Courtyard for sitting out. Helen was helpful at booking stage and on arrival with helpful local knowledge about walking/cycling routes. Would recommend.

Helmsley is a beautiful place to visit. There's so much to explore right on your doorstep and The Little Barn is the perfect base to do so. It is right in the heart of Helmsley, only minutes from the market square, restaurants, bars and there are some amazing walks straight from the front door. The Little Barn is also extremely peaceful and has everything you need for a relaxed stay. highly recommended.

Great place to stay very close to Helmsley's lovely centre and there are many great walks stright from the house. Also very quiet and peaceful when sitting outside. The Little barn is great and exactly what we wanted, thanks.

“ Wow, Little Barn really is a little gem of a place! I wish it could be my new home!… The property is just like the photos- spotlessly clean, cosy, fully equipped, and stunning furnishings. It is located in a very central location of Helmsley, just a few minutes away from the market square. So close to the hustle and bustle, yet so peaceful…10/10 ”

Just returned from a 3 night stay at Little Barn. Absolutely beautiful accommodation. Decorated and furnished to a very high standard, with lovely character features. Excellent, peaceful location, whilst being just minutes from the centre of Helmsley and all of its amenities. Helpful little touches like milk, tea bag, coffee and biscuits on arrival. Extremely comfortable bed and great shower room. Outdoor seating in a little sun trap. Great communication from the owner. Fabulous place, would highly recommend and definitely plan to return again.

Cosy barn conversion not far from the town, but was so quiet, no traffic noise but lots of lovley bord song. very comfortable bed. A great place to chill out. Recommend Thomas the Bakery for tasty treats, cakes pastries, deli veg and good quality butchery.

Loved our stay and the Little Barn. Fabulously convenient central location with parking right outside the door. great host and a perfect place to stay for peace and quiet with no cars or people to be heard at all. Clean throughout, comfy bed and a well thought through conversion. By far the nicest place we've stayed in the town.

Lovely stay in The Little Barn. Small, but perfectly formed with everything we needed; especially comfortable bed and fabulous shower, in a peaceful tucked away location. Ideal for walking The Cleveland Way and Dumcombe Park on the doorstep. Hosted by Helen, who is lovely!

We had a lovely few days at the Little Barn. The barn was just perfect for a couple. We would recommend it as a perfect base to visit not only the town but also the beautiful countryside and many towns within reach. We would certainly stay here again.

Our first stay in Helmsley, perfect location just off the market square, lots of good independent shops, plenty to enjoy locally. We had days when we just stayed in and around Helmsley exploring, walking and people watching in the market square. Coast and other places easy to reach. Good journeys on very quiet roads, stunning scnery and views. Helen's communications were friendly, helpful and prompt. We hope to return to Little Barn.
