A lovely well equipped and comfortable cottage which is in a good location to York city. It’s about a 30 minute walk into the centre. We had a wonderful few days staying in the cottage visiting York and the surrounding area. I would thoroughly recommend staying at this cottage.

Our 2nd visit to this wonderful holiday cottage and we loved it just as much as the first time! It's quirky, comfortable and very cosy! It's location couldn't be better, near enough to walk into York City centre but tucked away where it's very quiet and private.We highly recommend a stay at the Old Coach House!Thanks to Jo and Rod for a lovely stay!
