We are Karen and Darren, your hosts, and we are thrilled to share our beautiful cottage with you. We have been in the holiday business for three years, creating unforgettable memories for our guests. 

About Us 

We began our journey with a shared dream of creating a serene and welcoming retreat in the heart of North Yorkshire. In 2023 (after a two year search) we found the perfect spot with Helmsley Meadows, which used to have the railway line from Pickering to Helmsley run through it from 1871 - 1964. 
 
The Cottage was the old Crossing Keepers Cottage. We live on site so are on hand if you have any problems. We do believe in a hands off stay for our guests so you can check in and out independently and the garden and hot tub area is completely private. 

Our Vision & Values 

At Helmsley Meadows, our mission is to offer a home away from home. We believe in the power of a great vacation to rejuvenate the spirit. 
 
Our core values include exceptional hospitality, meticulous attention to detail, and a deep commitment to quality. Every aspect of your stay is carefully curated to ensure comfort and relaxation. 
We look forward to welcoming you soon.
