Definitely a 'Little House '. Ideal for a couple for a week. Not far from centre, shops, restaurants and pubs. Permit for parking is fantastic.

Excellent location for York. Lovely place to stay. Really clean and great layout for 2 people. Felt very luxurious! Great chippy and Thai restaurant on the local parade, also Sainsbury's and nice pub. Lots of local information provided which helped us plan our stay.

Lovely house perfect for us as a couple.Walking distance to the centre and parking permit means no worries about parking.Lounge sofa could do replacing with something a little more comfortable is the only comment I would make.
