Super location
Easy access to York Minster and nearby pubs. Car parking easy when you find it - Radio York offices off Bootham Road would of located it easier. Lots of stairs in accommodation, very tight with anyone with mobility issues.

My 50th birthday
Lovely property, fabulous location right in the centre. Lovely comfortable beds and all the facilities were perfect thank you
A really lovely house which was extremely clean. Be aware though that there are two storeys of quite steep, winding stairs and a lot of traffic noise as it is on a busy road and the house has single glazed wooden windows. Earplugs did the trick! There is a tiny outside space which currently houses a dustbin but would benefit from a small table and chairs for the warmer months.
