Hi and a big thank you for stopping by!

Are you looking for some serious de-stressing or a relaxing visit with some gentle walking?. Perhaps a ride on our steam railway appeals to you? Would you prefer to take a hired cycle ride through 12 thousand acres of local forest or visit a secret hidden place, just the two of you? In truth whatever makes your stay memorable can usually be found whilst staying at the best B&B in Helmsley, ours, The Carlton Lodge.

We know our local knowledge can give you the edge when it comes to making the most of your stay here in spectacular North Yorkshire. Apart from our library of walks, routes and maps and a veritable mountain of heritage sites, we are also able to help with details on all sorts of local events and places to visit. We can tell you the best steam train to catch and in which direction to get the most out of your day. We can tell you why Castle Howard is a super place to visit whatever the weather. That funny little shop of the beaten track which sells you know…., yes we know it. The one thing we don’t cater for is boredom, so every day can be as full as you like. We’ll cosset you, comfort you, and feed you on a quality locally sourced breakfast and then pack you off for a day in some in spectacular scenery, doing what you want to do! Sound interesting?

Our bed and breakfast accommodation comprises of just 8 cosy en suite rooms, two twins, 5 doubles and a single. All are individually furnished with local pine and include TV, DVD/CD player, radio, telephone, clock, tea and coffee tray. Our lounge allows you to relax in comfort, with a real fire for those chillier nights, whilst our bright and cheerful dining room gets you off to great start before you go out exploring.

After downsizing our business in 2003 we now operate the Carlton Lodge as a husband and wife team. To date we have had no serious fall outs (or major injuries!) and whilst ever Margaret looks after the cooking and the bedrooms and yours truly (Chris) does everything else (!) we think we’ve got the system beaten!

Our youngest, Daniel plays bass guitar in a local band, you might have heard of, One Night Only and their recent release "Just for Tonight" got them into the top ten, we are constantly amazed!

Emma after getting her degree and saving up is shortly to embark on a trip to South America which will finnish in Australia (it is therefore obvious she didn't get here degree in geography!) where she hopes to find gainful employment, and send regular cheques home!
