bathroom, walk-in shower, double ended bath tubs and separate sitting room, some also have wood burning stoves. The suites have direct access to the pool garden.


Helmsley is one of only 17 towns named on theMagna Carta.For several centuries, Helmsley’s economy relied on sheep farming, wool and weaving, then the town was later developed and expanded by the Duncombe family who built Duncombe Park. There are some specialist shops where you can buy your bread from the baker,meat at the butchers, fish from the fishmonger, tweeds from the tailor and wine from a vinter. You can even buy a handcrafted candlestick from the local blacksmith! In this small town there are over 50 independent specialist shops from antiques and country clothing to chocolates and gifts.


There’s plenty to do in Helmsley, one of my favourite market towns in Yorkshire. From taking a walk in the five acre HelmsleyWalled Garden and taking tea in their café to exploring the majestic Castle Howard to the rolling beauty of the North Yorkshire Moors, visiting the ruins of Rievaux and Bylands Abbey or to enjoy luxury designer shopping, fabulous restaurants and quaint marketplace tea rooms, Helmsley and the surrounding areas has something for everyone.

Feversham Arms where the newly appointed Head Chef, Shaun Burke was showcasing his newTasting Menu. We were indulged in a six-course tasting menu where his ethos is entrenched by their location with food sourced locally and harvested fromthe North Yorkshire Moors.


On the menu there was Foie Gras, brambles and pear, honey granola, lavender, with a swap of Foie Gras to goats cheese for myself, salmon with preserved lemon and braised octopus, halibut with compressed cucumber,


shellfish broth and sea herbs, roe deer with burnt apples and chestnut, blueberry,


tarragon and natural


yoghurt finished with 72% Valhrona chocolate jelly, Guananja coated streusel and praline ice cream. It was a wonderful gastronomic food experience which lasted for over two hours!


We were very spoilt by the service from the excellent staff, chefs,waiters and


indeed the comfortable


surroundings.The Feversham Arms is a wonderful Yorkshire treat.
