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.
