Located in Bishophill, this apartment is a leisurely stroll from popular sights such as Shambles and York Minster. The apartment includes a kitchen and a TV.
This apartment is within a Georgian town house that has recently been fully renovated by York Conservation Trust to a high standard and thoughtfully furnished to make a very comfortable city centre apartment.
This is a first floor one bedroom apartment with a large kitchen living room - finished and furnished to a high standard. You enter from the ground floor to a private staircase up to the open plan kitchen/living/dining room, and then up a further steep narrow staircase to the bedroom floor with ensuite bathroom. Although the bedroom overlooks the street at the front, the secondary glazing will ensure a quiet night's sleep.
We are available from our office in the same building; Wheelwrights YORK, to support you during your stay. You can also leave luggage with us is you arrive early or leave late from York.
Micklegate is a lively city centre street with award winning restaurants and cafes, and only 5 minutes walk to the city centre.
Only 5 minutes from the train station, and 5 minutes from the nearest parking on Nunnery Lane carpark, or the station carpark. Pets - allowed
Directions to 71 Micklegate
The best way into York for Micklegate is to stay on the A64 from the A1, and follow the signs for York Race Course, which is signposted off the A64 as York A1036. This will take you straight into York past the Race Course (which will be on your right), keep going until you see the city walls in front of you, the gate you see at the junction is Micklegate Bar (the gateways are called bars Viking word for gate) go straight through and about 150m on your right you will see Trinity Lane, and just after this is our office and #71 Micklegate.
PARKING
There is no parking with the apartments on Micklegate, you can park outside on a meter which is 40p for ½ hr, which will be ok for dropping any luggage off, but we would recommend using either the Nunnery Lane carpark (just outside the walls and to the right of Micklegate Bar as you look at it driving into the city), or the long stay carpark at the train station, which is just the other side of this, both of them a just few minutes walk away from the apartment.
KEYBOX
If our office is open you will be able to check in with us, if not, your keys will be in the keybox at the back of the building. Walk down Trinity Lane, and about 20m on your left is a set of wooden double gates with a pedestrian gate on the left hand side. Enter the code 2058z and go through this gate, through the courtyard around to the left and you will see three keyboxes next to the back door, with the apartment numbers marked.
KEY INSTRUCTIONS
Your key will open both the front and back doors of the house and the apartment door, which is at the end of the entrance hall towards the front of the building on your left hand side.
Please ensure you keep the back gate closed and the front and back doors of the main house locked.

Great location in York
Easy to access from train station and old town. Well equipped, clean apartment. The only down side is the stairs leading to the bedroom are steep and narrow.

Top quality accommodation, nicely located, easy 5min stroll to town centre. I would recommend that the online advert mentions the amount of stairs in the apartment (ground floor entry to 1st floor living area and then 2nd floor bedroom and bathroom). Not a problem for us and we will definitely book again, would be a problem for people with mobility issues. Loved it though 👌👍
