An excellent little nook in an a charming town. Easy to access, quiet, clean, and very comfortable. If it's available on the dates you're looking for, grab this spot!!!
Lovely in all aspects.
So nice to sit in the sunny garden with a glass of Champagne.
And a rainfall shower in nicely done shower room.
Beautiful tulips on the lounge table.
And a pint of milk in the fridge.
Perfect for us (a couple for a long weekend).

This is a lovely cottage in a very good location.
This is a lovely cottage in a very good location. Short walk into town. It has everything you need and the owner has even put the essentials in like coffee, tea, milk and toilet paper. A nice touch were the flowers! We found the wet room a bit of a challenge. We found it difficult to get the bathroom floor dry for the next person, but the shower was lovely. Comfy chairs in the lounge and a big enough table to play board games on!

Loved it in this apartment, right size in good venue. Shower drainage very slow and poor. No ventiation in bedroom except if you leave dble doors open but then security becomes a problem. Very well decorated and other than these two issues couldn't fault the apartment.

Great flat, ldeal base for exploring York.
Great flat, ldeal base for exploring York. Clean, warm and cosy.
This lovely little apartment is in a perfect location facing the city wall and York minster. It has only recently been converted into holiday accommodation and the decor and furnishings are lovely quality and in very good condition. It has been very thoughtfully equipped and we had everything we needed to make us feel comfortable and at home. We thought it was a perfect base to spend a few days exploring this interesting and beautiful city, and within easy walking distance of a huge choice of places to eat and drink. Our hosts came to meet us on arrival, and all of our communication with them was friendly, informative and helpful. Many thanks.

It has a nice lounge with good views of the cathedral and city wall, bedroom is comfortable, nice patio with table and chairs, kitchen is well laid out and the shower room is excellent. We highly recommend it.
