Toad Hall
Toad Hall is a delightful Grade II listed cottage built from Helmsley castle stone, just yards from the main square in the centre of the beautiful market town of Helmsley, within the North York Moors National Park. Toad Hall has oozed character for over 350 years: from the moment you step inside, low doors and beams. The cosy living room is furnished with antique furniture and offers an open fire for those cooler nights. There’s comfortable seating around the fire for four people with two extra seats, allowing additional seating for visitors to enjoy a drink or cup of tea around the fire. To the rear of the property is a well-appointed dining room which then leads through to a bright and modern kitchen with electric oven and induction hob. The ground floor accommodation is completed with a family bathroom. On the first floor is a shower room tucked under the eaves, and two bedrooms which offer both twin and double/single accommodation. The double room is compact and very cosy and lies next to the shower room, it has a tall chest of drawers & hooks for hanging; the twin has a chest of drawers & a large cupboard/wardrobe where travel bags can be stored. These attractive cottage bedrooms have traditional low windows and beams and are in keeping with the era of the cottage.
From the dining room French doors lead out to an enclosed patio, which is the perfect location for an al fresco breakfast or an evening meal. From the patio there are steps leading up through a pretty garden. At the top of the steps you will find a sunny walled area with a summer house, a tranquil place for a drink in the evening sun or to enjoy your book. The stone shed provides storage for bikes, please bring your own padlock to secure. At the rear, next to the grassed area, there’s ample off-road private parking for two cars. Helmsley has excellent amenities all within a few minutes’ walk of the cottage. Visitors will be spoilt for choice with a fine selection of delis, restaurants, cafes and inns. Helmsley also has a reputation for great Yorkshire hospitality, and the market square is a focal meeting point for walker, cyclists and locals alike.
A visit to the walled garden, castle and the stately home of Duncombe Park, home to the National Bird of Prec Centre, are a must whilst visiting the area. With miles of footpaths and trails across the beautiful North Yorkshire Moors this area really is a walker’s paradise. Within easy access to York and its many world-renowned attractions as well as the east coast towns of Whitby, Filey and Scarborough, this cottage is sure to delight every visitor. This pretty cottage is ideally placed for a romantic break away for those looking to explore this stunning area by car, foot or bike. Toad Hall would also be an excellent choice for smaller families with children.
