The cottage is well-equipped with everything needed for a stay, including a good kitchen and bathroom. Some guests note minor issues such as steep stairs, water pressure, and the need for additional kitchen items, but these are outweighed by positive feedback.

The Nest is a very clean, comfortable and quirky apartment in the centre of the beautiful town of Helmsley. Very good value accommodation. Helmsley has lovely walks, shopping and places to eat out and of course is located in the stunning North Yorkshire Moors National Park. Town very dog friendly. Only minor issue is parking at the apartment is a bit tight.
