Foxglove Cottage, Helmsley, North Yorkshire

Say hello to Foxglove Cottage, a gorgeous, four-bedroom holiday cottage, tucked away in the heart of Helmsley, North Yorkshire. This is a place where modern comforts meet timeless charm, and all located just a very short stroll away from Helmsley’s charming town centre. A perfect setting for relaxed family escapes, grown-up getaways, and celebratory stays with friends.

EAT

The modern kitchen at Foxglove is made for prepping lingering breakfasts and relaxed dinners. Fully equipped and beautifully designed, it features an American-style fridge freezer, plenty of prep space. When it’s time to eat, gather everyone together in the open-plan dining area, or enjoy meals outside when the weather’s kind – there’s plenty of space to dine, sip, and savour those long summer evenings. But, if cooking feels like too much effort for your relaxing staycation, then Helmsley’s fantastic pubs, cafés, and restaurants are just moments away.

SLEEP

Upstairs, Foxglove Cottage offers four cosy bedrooms, all with generous storage and built-in wardrobes, so you can truly unpack and settle in. The first bedroom is a Superking, with zip-and-link beds, a peaceful outlook, a handy dressing table, and a stylish ensuite shower room. The second is another calm and comfortable Superking, again with zip-and-link beds and a private WC room. The third bedroom is a cosy double with plenty of storage, and finally a twin bedroom, perfect for children or friends sharing together. A luxury family bathroom completes the upstairs space, featuring a gorgeous roll-top bath and separate shower – ideal for slow, spa-like evenings after a day exploring the moors.

RELAX

Set within a generous private garden (with the occasional friendly pheasant wandering past!), Foxglove Cottage is perfect for taking time out of a busy schedule and re-connecting with a slower pace of life. This truly is a holiday home designed for switching off, where you can sink into cosy sofas in the lounge, curl up by the traditional open fire in the main living area, and enjoy movie nights with the TV glowing softly in the background. Step outside to your enclosed private space, where the hot tub awaits – perfect for stargazing soaks with a glass of fizz in hand. With plenty of outdoor space to wander, lounge, or let children explore, relaxation comes naturally here.

EXPLORE

The cottage is an ideal base for discovering all the best bits of North Yorkshire. Wander into Helmsley for independent shops, tearooms, and award-winning eateries, or head further afield to explore the North York Moors National Park, Rievaulx Abbey, Castle Howard and endless walking trails. With private parking, an EV charger, and countryside on your doorstep, this is a fantastic base for both adventure and serenity. Foxglove Cottage isn’t just a place to stay – it’s a place to slow down, reconnect, and experience Yorkshire at its most charming.
