Beautiful house, in a fantastic location. Highly recommended
Could not be in a better location! 5 min walk to The Shamble, 10 mins to anywhere in city centre. Tons of great restaurants, bars, pubs in the neighborhood. Very safe & walkable. Beautiful old home that’s been well maintained. Lots of space, bathrooms on every level, comfy beds, big kitchen fully outfitted. Our family loved it and would definitely stay again!

Family trip to York
We loved this property with its rich history and location. We appreciated the location so much. It was very close to several stores and with York being such a walkable city, this house was a fun place to call home as we explored everyday we were there. Hope to stay again soon
