Just behind Helmsley's church, the Feversham Arms has a snug and sophisticated atmosphere where country charm meets boutique chic. Service is excellent and rooms are comfy (the luxury pool suites with balconies are especially light and spacious), but it's the spa and lovely heated outdoor pool that guests come from far and wide for; the on-site restaurant is not worth the money.
