Lovely little mews-type house just a minute's walk to the Monkgate and into the City Centre; just 5 minutes stroll to the Minster. Very well equipped throughout, and with the added bonus of having its own car parking space. Next visit to York we know where we'll be booking!!

The location was perfect, easy to access but far enough from the nightlife to stay peaceful. I loved hearing the bells in the distance every hour; it added charm without being disturbing.The place had everything you could need for a comfortable stay: towels, a hair dryer, iron and board, plus plenty of cooking equipment, kettle, toaster, microwave, oven, and even a dishwasher!It felt very homely, a real place to unwind. The blanket throws were perfect for chilly evenings, and there was a TV and radio to keep you entertained. The many windows made the rooms feel bright, airy, and full of positive energy.
