Guests say
Biggan Mews is highly praised for its unbeatable location just minutes from York’s city centre, with the added bonus of private parking. Guests consistently mention the property’s comfort, well-equipped kitchen, and peaceful atmosphere, making it ideal for couples. The hosts are described as friendly and helpful, with thoughtful touches such as welcome gifts occasionally provided. Cleanliness is generally rated highly, though a few guests noted minor issues. The cottage’s compact size and steep stairs may not suit everyone, but overall, it offers a cosy and convenient base for exploring York.
Most guests found the property very clean and tidy, with fresh linen and towels. A small number mentioned minor issues such as cobwebs or pet hair, but these were exceptions rather than the norm.
The location is universally praised, with guests loving the proximity to York’s attractions, shops, and restaurants, all within easy walking distance. The quiet setting and included parking are also highly valued.
Guests frequently comment on the comfortable bed, cosy atmosphere, and peaceful environment. The property is ideal for two, though the steep stairs and downstairs bathroom may be less suitable for those with mobility issues.
The cottage is well-equipped with everything needed for a short stay, including a functional kitchen and good shower. Some guests noted limited space for hanging clothes and the compact nature of the apartment.
Many guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as welcome gifts of tea, coffee, milk, and flowers. However, as these are not guaranteed for every stay, guests should not expect them as standard.
