Relaxing Spa Escape

I indulged in a prenatal treatment at the spa that exceeded all my expectations. The staff tailored the experience to suit my needs, creating a comforting and serene atmosphere. The massage was really good, focusing on areas of tension and allowing me to fully relax.

Really good Culinary Experience

The quality of food in the restaurant was amazing. I was particularly impressed by the presentation of each dish, which was artistic and appetizing. It felt like fine dining, and each plate was a good surprise for my taste buds.

Cozy Room Retreat

I stayed in a room that was perfectly equipped. It featured a spacious layout with a large, comfortable bed and ample plug points for all my devices, which made my stay extra convenient. The little touches, like complimentary beverages, truly enhanced my experience.

Convenient Valet Service

The valet parking service was seamless during my stay. It was a relief to hand over my car and focus on enjoying my time rather than searching for a parking spot. It truly contributed to the stress-free experience I was seeking.

My stay at Feversham Arms was a mix of highs and lows. While the spa facilities were enjoyable and provided a relaxing atmosphere, the service during dining left much to be desired, making breakfast a frustrating experience. Additionally, the overall value for money felt lacking, especially given the issues with the room's comfort. The hotel's location in Helmsley is charming, with plenty of local shops to explore, but I was disappointed with several aspects of my stay.
