Great service. Nothing was too much trouble from the staff. Food was excellent. Room was great with good facilities. The only complaint was that the shower was a bit weak but not worth complaining about. Breakfast was great. I am coeliac and great care was taken to ensure I could eat safely. Highly recommended.

This is a wonderful hotel to stay at, the rooms are really well maintained clean and airy. Very comfortable beds, great quality tea & coffee tray in your room. Good quality toiletries too. I love your little extra touches in the room the personal welcome note on the dressing table & the relaxing lavender pillow mist. The staff are always so friendly, helpful, and welcoming! Special thanks to Mary who organised my rooms for myself & my friends everyone was highly impressed with the whole package supplied. The afternoon tea on arrival was superb! As was our breakfast freshly cooked, quality and well presented. The food here I highly recommend. Thank you also to Keith for your courtesy call to check on any dietary requirements and meeting you on arrival again so welcoming & friendly makes you feel your amongst friends & returning home. We had a great stay thank you hope to be back soon

The hotel had ample parking which was great as parking is a nightmare in Helmsley. We received a warm welcome from Tracey, who looked after us and managed to secure us an extra night in the same room, without having to move. The room, number 23 by the way, was more of a suite with plenty of space, a sitting area, luxurious decor and a huge bed which was the comfiest bed I have ever slept in. There was a Nespresso coffee machine, tea, hot chocolate, biscuits, chocolate and water in the room, there was even a radio playing low background music which made it feel homely. Oh, and even pillow mist!! The food was delicious too, I cannot recommend this hotel enough.

Helmsley is lovely. The Feathers is also. Nicely maintained, old world charm but not at all shabby like some. Super friendly staff who go out of their way to help. Nice breakfast. Will stay here again when back in Helmsley.

Avoid room 6 like the plague, it’s terrible and check if the hotel has any functions booked because if so, you won’t be allowed to eat in the hotel at the same time. The function was very noisy and obviously room 6 is above it, so no sleep until everyone had left. A room of this size and location, being charged at over £100 per night is shocking.

Booked a table with a week notice, in the pub for 5 adults, 2 kids with 3 dogs. Tracey was initially very helpful, pre ordered food and confirmed our booking. Great… or so we thought. Attended on the day and felt like we were putting people out. Considering there was 7 of us with 3 dogs we were shown to a half opened function area at the back bar with no atmosphere and felt more like a lonely restaurant and a nice carpet, NOT what we had booked with kids and 3 dogs. We asked if we could go outside to which we were told they don’t serve food outside, I walked out to see a table of 5 eating away, quite happily. So heading back in, I asked to speak to the manager, Ruba or a name similar. Who told me that food cannot be served outside due to staff shortage (the extra 30seconds it took to walk outside I did not see the big deal) we were then told we couldn’t eat in the bar because football was on and that was the busiest time… nothing said was delivered with any courtesy or apologies, despite me telling them what we had booked it didn’t matter and fell on deaf ears. It was honestly a disgusting experience. But thankfully, we found somewhere opposite who treat us nicely and with respect and actually welcomed the £350 we went on to spend. Due to this I cannot recommend this place at all to anyone. Ruined what should have been a nice experience.

Well we have just come back from Helmsley with a stay at the feathers hotel for two nights. We took our Labrador and we have to say the hotel and staff are brilliant! Being a dog friendly hotel yes you expect carpet to be a little worn here and there but the room was absolutely spotless and tea coffee, bathrobes and slippers , dog bowl, treats and doggie bags and a tennis ball is a fantastic touch! Also a bottle of water each and chocolates and biscuits! I want to say thank you to the chef who made my dog scrambled eggs for breakfast! A lovely place and walks around Helmsley and great coffee shops! My husband had a meal also in the feathers at night as I wasn’t feeling too well and said it was lovely! A big thank you to Keith gavin , he is a fantastic host and did everything possible to make you feel you are a truly important customer,excellent service and will be back!

We really enjoyed our one night stay at the Feathers. We had a great room and the in room catering facilities were excellent. The breakfast was delicious and everything came to the table which made a refreshing change from the normal buffet arrangements. We will definitely be back.

Great bar, fantastic staff, lovely breakfast, room was really nice but to hot, only way to cool down is to open the window which is a bit inconvenient when the deliveries start at 5am directly outside the window.
