Good property in a good location

We all enjoyed our short break in York. The accommodation was very comfortable and as described in the listing. Easy parking, and close to the centre of York meant that we did not need to use the car during our trip. Walking to the centre was easy by road or along the riverside. Will be back and happy to recommend this property.

Perfect location to explore anywhere in York.

This beautiful property is well equipped and is in a perfect location to enjoy beautiful York. Steps away from the river walk leading into the city center, close to groceries and restaurants. Parking was always available out front.

We loved staying here, perfect location so close to the river and lovely cosy home

We spent two peaceful nights here, the house was cosy, welcoming and clean. Nice addition of books and thoughtful gestures throughout ~ things like nice shower gel and soap make a difference! I will definitely return again

Perfect for us

We were here for my sons graduation and the property is about a 30 min walk to the uni and 20 min walk to the city centre so well located for us. The property is clean and well equipped. Everything we needed was provided (including Netflix!). Off road parking behind the property is a big bonus. I would be happy to stay here again.
