Guests say
17 Fewster Way is a well-received holiday cottage in York, praised for its prime location, cleanliness, and comfort. Guests appreciate the modern amenities, well-equipped kitchen, and thoughtful welcome packs. The property's proximity to the city centre and parking convenience are frequently highlighted, alongside the pleasant outdoor area and tasteful decor.
The cottage is consistently described as immaculate and spotlessly clean, with many guests highlighting the cleanliness as a standout feature. However, there was a single mention of the property not being cleaned prior to arrival, which slightly impacts the otherwise excellent feedback.
The location is highly praised for being within easy walking distance to York's city centre and attractions. The convenience of on-site parking and proximity to good restaurants and pubs adds to the appeal. The only minor drawback mentioned is noise from nearby guests at a hotel.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with modern decor and a cosy atmosphere. The property is equipped with quality appliances and furniture, although there are suggestions for additional items like a fan for warmer days and a footstool for extra comfort.
The facilities are generally well-regarded, with a fully equipped kitchen and high-quality bathroom. Some guests suggest minor improvements such as better Wi-Fi connectivity, maintenance of door locks, and the addition of a handrail in the shower for safety.
The welcome packs are frequently mentioned and greatly appreciated by guests, indicating a high level of thoughtfulness from the hosts. It should be noted that while such gestures are common, they are not guaranteed for every stay.

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.

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.

There was everything you needed! The owner left us a complimentary pack, it just bowled us over that she could be so kind and generous. The house is in a perfect location, 2 mins from the city walls. We would recommend the house to anyone wishing to spend time in York. It's the best holiday let we have stayed in. It was perfect!!!

Perfectly situated for seeing all of York. 10 min walk to the Shambles, 15 min to York Minster. Found a lovely little Italian restaurant 2 min walk away.

The location is excellent. We didn't need to drive whilst in York because we could walk to everything. I had groceries delivered our first night and we cooked most meals at home. Last night was at the Mason Arms around the corner - wonderful pub. We only had one maintenance issue but the owners fixed it ASAP so our stay was great. Sykes did not provide good communication between us and the owner - which is why I rated the property a 10 but Sykes a 7. Two single beds in the second bedroom would make things easier for a family - but we knew there were two double beds when we booked.
