The Old Post Office - Central Helmsley with Parking

the beds were comfy.

the leaking shower the loose toilet seats the mould around the bath and in the walls the outside area was awful , dirty and very unloved. the dirty windows no wine glasses , had to borrow some from the pub not enough tea towels no facility to play music the parking the walk with bags etc from the parking is not mentioned anywhere. random piece of cut off carpet.

It was central for everything

It could do with a deep clean especially the outside courtyard and the windows the table was covered in green moss so unusable

The property was very central to Helmsley, we liked the fact that the village was literally on your doorstep. The accommodation was very spacious and comfortable, however we felt it did lack certain essentials.

- There were only 3 main dinner plates provided, not enough for the 4 people stopping - There were only 5 mugs available - more would have been better given there was a dishwasher - There were only small glasses provided, considering there is a brewery just down the road we had to purchase our own pint glasses (which we took home) - The lounge was very spacious, however there were no occasional tables to put drinks etc. on - The lighting in the lounge/diner could have been better. There was a standard lamp and a 'light feature' in the lounge that gave inadequate lighting for the whole area. The alternative was to put the spotlights on in the dining area which was much too bright. A second standard lamp or similar at the other end of the room would improve this. - There was no lock on the bathroom door! We were a party of 2 couples sharing the one bathroom, so had to devise a system to indicate the bathroom was occupied to avoid embarrassing interruptions. - A 'nice to have' would be blackout blinds/curtains in the bedrooms, particularly the rear bedroom as it gets the early morning sun shining through the paper thin curtains - There was too much 'furniture' in the front bedroom (wardrobes and drawers), however not enough practical space to put items, e.g. no bedside cabinets - The heating controls are situated above a door. This was fine for me as I am over 6ft, however the shorter members of the party could only access this by precariously balancing on a chair

No instructions on how to use the heating (Just a useless installation booklet) No teapot In double bedroom no surface except windowsill to put things on, and an unnecessary amount of cupboards Insufficient surfaces in bathroom No information on local walking

Great location, very clean and well equipped. Spacious lounge/dining area.

The heating was on timers and the property got a little cold during the day, we had our 86 year old father with us and he was in the house during these times.

Loved the town and the house was fabulous! A very small suggestion would be a welcome pack with fresh milk, bread and butter but the coffee and tea were appreciated. Loved the food in The Feathers and in the Deli! We had a huge salad from there on numerous nights they were so nice.

Just a welcome pack!
