Jorvik - Woodsmill Quay at Queen’s Staithe is in the heart of York; it was originally built in the 19th century and used as a timber mill. York has been a key trading port since Roman times and the River Ouse remained tidal until the construction of Naburn Locks in the 18th century. Queen’s Staithe played a prominent role in the commercial development of York and it is still a working quay today. The property will be decorated for those staying during the festive season.
During 2000, Jorvik - Woodsmill Quay was converted into luxury apartments offering all of York’s world-famous sights and activities right on the doorstep.

Splendid views of the river and opposite quay. Very short walk to the city centre and excellent amenities close by. Parking on site a bonus.

Everything about this flat was great, comfort, warmth, location, views.We had such a good time here. So easy to get around town and a short distance from the train station. So much to do in and around York, and after a busy day exploring this is a wonderful place to come back to, sitting and watching the activities in and around the river.We will be coming back.
