Location is great - ideal for the racecourse, easy to walk into the city centre (30 mins approx, less of you walk quicker), or use any of the many service buses that pass down Tadcaster rd. Instructions given to find and access were very clear and easy to follow. The Nest was clean and comfortable, with all amenities provided. The kitchen in particular is a good size and well equipped.

We had a lovely week in The Nest.
We had a lovely week in The Nest. An amazing position and great area for York and beyond. The cottage is comfortable and cosy. The stairs are quite steep and could have done with another hand rail all the way up as there is a turn at the top which my elderly mother found difficult to manoeuvre. However this would not stop us returning. Kitchen had all we needed.Highly recommend.
