The accommodation was perfect for our group of 14, the house had absolutely everything we needed and more. The rooms were all a lovely size, beds extremely comfortable and plenty of bathrooms. The downstairs area had lots of space for everyone, we would definitely recommend this property. The hosts very kindly came to check we had everything we needed when we arrived and to show us how a few things worked, they also checked we had enjoyed our stay at the end. The house is near enough to York centre that we could walk but Ubers were also very easy to order. We cannot thank the hosts enough, such a beautiful house.

We had the most amazing stay at Jorvik Villas celebrating as a group of 12. The house is amazing and even though the photos are beautiful they don’t do it justice! The host, Rashta, could not do enough for us during our stay. We are all searching for the next excuse to come back to stay again. Thank you so much

A group of friends (10 of us) stayed here for 3 nights, it is a beautiful home, with stunning decor throughout, we were greeted when we arrived by the owner delivering chocolates which was a nice touch. The kitchen had everything you needed, outside area with hot tub and sauna. Plenty of seating to accommodate everyone. There is a local shop and pizza place, it’s about a 15 min walk into the city centre. I would definitely return.
