Helmsley 2.2 miles. Situated within the endearing countryside of North Yorkshire is this well-presented shepherd’s hut, Bellwether. This wonderful base comes within striking distance of the majestic National Park and all of the delights of the market town of Helmsley, offering a romantic retreat for a couple seeking to explore this lovely part of the country. This unique accommodation houses a stylish interior design and is well-equipped for you and your partner to spend some time within the countryside setting. The well-equipped kitchen houses all the essentials to whip up a home-cooked meal that can be enjoyed at the dining table, or venture outside to dine alfresco with a glass of wine in hand, whilst soaking up the surroundings. As the evening draws to a close, look forward to curling up on the well-presented double bed, whilst the woodburning stove fills the room with warmth during those chilly winter months. If you can tear yourself away from this romantic base, a short drive will bring you to the market town of Helmsley where you will find a selection of pubs and eateries, as well as the Helmsley Castle and the Helmsley Arts Centre to keep you busy.

We visited lots of places on our stay such as Pickering, York, Ripon, Knaresborough, Robin Hoods Bay and Helmsley itself which has the most beautiful birds of pray centre thatâs always worth visiting. The shepherds hut is super cosy to come back to and has the most beautiful views over the fields, we were able to see the hares jumping around, the deerâs pacing over and the owls perched on the fence looking in. The hosts are fabulous, Fiona and Tim are always around to help if you need anything, and the pet sheep and goats next to the hut are a lovely bonus. We love it here and will be returning again soon as we feel very comfortable and perfectly at home.
