About this property
A superb cottage close to the beautiful and historic city centre of York and a perfect base for exploring the Yorkshire countryside. This two-bed cottage is situated close to the historic walls and a short walk will take you to the vibrant streets of Walmgate and Fossgate leading to the Shambles, in the very heart of the city. With soothing colour schemes and a quality standard of furnishings throughout, this is the ideal break suited to families and friends. On the ground floor, you will find a delightful sitting room leading into a well equipped kitchen diner. Climb the stairs to find two lovely bedrooms and a luxury family bathroom. To the outside, you can indulge with a seat at the garden table and a glass of wine, as the city awaits a day of exploring. The iconic walls are within a very short stroll and all two miles can be walked with amazing views enjoyed. At night, guests can uncover the hidden secrets of York, by joining one of the popular and thrilling ghost walks. York has a vibrant foodie scene and is packed with a range of bistros, cafes, restaurants and real ale pubs serving delicious food. Alternatively, head to The Shambles market which sells a selection of fresh and locally-sourced food. Visitors to this area can also explore further afield to some wonderful countryside spots, the North Yorkshire Moors and coast or venture into the Yorkshire Dales National Park. This is a charming cottage set in a historic location, providing an unforgettable trip.
York is a walled city in North Yorkshire, England, with the River Ouse running straight through the middle. Founded by the Romans, the city became the capital of the Roman province of Britannia Inferior. The city boasts the York Early Music Festival, mainly devoted to classical music from the 18th century. Let's not forget the abundance of independent shops, pubs and restaurants in the area.

The car parking space was essential in the city. The cottage was in a very convenient position for all the amenities and we would be very happy to rent this cottage again on another visit.

The property has everything you need and is in a perfect position for walking into York. The weather was glorious towards the end of the week. Had a cuppa in the sun trap garden - couldnât spend much time there as there is so much to see and do in York and the surrounding area.

Best welcome pack we have ever had and everything was provided that you would need to settle in immediately. The back garden is a real sun trap all day. Enjoyed it so much already booked again for later this year.
