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.

what a GORGEOUS little home away from home!! my partner and I were so excited to find a little living room upstairs, and the size actually exceeded our expectations. the area is so cute, with many brunch, cafe spots and restaurants to choose from, and a perfect distance away from york town that kept our accommodation feeling remote, private and ours :) we adored our time at the little house and would definitely come back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ thank you very much!
