The Feversham Arms Hotel & Verbena Spa is a secluded luxury retreat, nestled in the picturesque market town of Helmsley in North Yorkshire. Located on the River Rye, and surrounded by the stunning countryside of the North York Moors National Park, the hotel’s secluded location is the perfect hideaway.
Cosy yet contemporary, with artwork to rival a gallery: Outdoors the hotel boasts a unique Mediterranean terrace and outdoor pool, whilst indoors offers welcoming lounges, open fires and a snug to make our guests feel welcome all year round. All 33 bedrooms (which include an impressive 20 suites) are tastefully designed with many boasting log burning stoves, balconies and terraces around the pool as well as large living spaces.
Your dining experience at the Feversham Arms starts from the moment you arrive. Choose a squashy sofa, either nestled in a corner, or next to a real fire and take your time to consider our three menus.
The signature Tasting Menu includes six courses of individual deeply flavoursome dishes – this menu is designed to be enjoyed at leisure and can take two hours to complete. The Seasonal Market Menu changes regularly and uses the best local produce that ties in with the seasons. Head Chef, Norman Mackenzie is a keen forager (come rain or shine), and this menu reflects what might have been found in the vast countryside surrounding the hotel on any given day. The A La Carte Menu gives guests the freedom to choose from a wide selection of dishes, from light vegetarian or fish dishes to the “Bloody Good Cuts of Meat” section, from which many items are carved at the table.
From the lounges, guests may move through to dine in the air-lit Restaurant or cosy Snug, both of which offer a relaxed setting with a convivial buzz of people enjoying themselves. We don’t want you to feel that you can’t speak above a whisper; this is your time to catch-up with friends, colleagues or loved ones and we want you to feel as comfortable as possible. If you need a little help to get the conversation flowing we have a vast selection of wines to help!
The Verbena Spa relaxation lounge is defined by plump cushions, sofas you sink into, and views across the south facing terrace garden.
The spa houses six single treatment rooms and one couples room, in which guests can experience a tandem therapy, perfect for couples or ladies who would like to have a chat whilst they’re pampered. The spa has an extensive Heat Experience including an aromatherapy room, salt inhalation chamber, saunarium, monsoon shower, foot spas and ice fountain. This section can be experienced in conjunction with treatments or on its own as a wonderfully effective detox for your skin, sinuses and mind.
All together the Feversham Arms Hotel & Verbena Spa provides a haven for people to retreat from the pressures of life; to take some time to indulge their bodies and relax their minds. The ultimate luxury hideaway experience.
Need to Know
Dining
From a traditional Yorkshire Breakfast to afternoon tea, poolside lunches to an à la carte dinner, food and drink plays a big part in life at Feversham Arms Hotel and Verbena Spa for our guests and non-residents alike.
Dinner is the main focus in our 3 AA rosette restaurant where diners can enjoy our five course tasting menu or three course à la carte dinner each evening. We’re also home to one of the most talked about cheese trolleys in Yorkshire and our cellar stocks a large range of after dinner wines and liqueurs. However, throughout the summer months our lunch menu becomes the talking point as our fresh, seasonal dishes are served poolside on the terrace and gardens, as well as in the lounge.
The quintessential tradition of afternoon tea continues to be popular and is taken between 2pm & 4pm in our cosy fireside lounges during the winter or by the pool on warmer summer days. Guests can enjoy a selection of sandwiches, patisserie, scones with clotted cream and jams and a wide range of fine and specialty teas. Then there is Our Do Not Disturb menu, which is designed solely for in-room dining so you can relax, eat and drink while making the most of our movie library.
Nonetheless, if you plan on simply stopping by then coffee, tea and pâtisserie are served all day in the lounges and around the pool and gardens in the summer months too.
The Spa
Heat Experience
If you have booked any of our spa day packages you can enjoy our heat experience, so don’t forget to arrive in plenty of time to utilise the facilities to the full. The Heat Experience combines use of the saunarium, aromatherapy room, salt vapour room, monsoon shower and foot spas inside, while outside, our Jacuzzi and heated pool provide a uniquely revitalising experience.
Aromatherapy Room
We’ve added natural aromatherapy essences to help tired minds and bodies drift away from the turmoil of the day. Perfect for relaxation, increasing circulation, cleansing and toning the skin – essential oils are infused into the room, allowing you to gently de-stress. Great for the respiratory system and to relieve congestion, the aromatherapy room also serves as a gentle exfoliant, leaving skin glowing and beautifully smooth.
Salt Vapour Room
The benefits and experience of our salt vapour room are similar to a walk along the beach, imagine the sea spray and the crisp, fresh aroma from the waves. You will feel the benefit of higher humidity, giving a ‘soft’ heat, which combined with the salt water mist, helps alleviate respiratory problems. The vapour leaves the skin feeling smoother, any dryness or sensitivity is noticeably reduced and the warm salt water mist also leaves you refreshed and re-energised.
Saunarium
Saunariums have long been known to aid relaxation, and at Verbena Spa, relaxation is what we do best. Let the heat envelop you, helping to soothe your body and let your cares drift away, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the day of pampering that lies ahead.
Monsoon Feature Shower
The monsoon shower is the perfect way to refresh between heat treatments and to cleanse your body and brighten your soul. Choose from tropical warmth or arctic cool settings to suit your mood.
