About the host
Hosted by Sarah and Chris
We are Sarah and Chris, and these are our three children, Isabel, Tom and Sephie. York is our beautiful home city, which we feel blessed to live in. Our decision to create a luxury holiday home in the very centre of York came following a career rethink and a desire to indulge our love of design and allow us time to relax with our family.
Menagerie House is the fruits of our labour and adventure and we have drawn heavily on our own experiences travelling, to create accommodation which is truly unique, a joy to relax in and brings a smile to your face, whether travelling as a group or as a family.

Why they chose this property
Menagerie House stood out to us from the moment we saw it. Neglected though it was, we saw its potential from the Victorian monochrome tiling in the entrance hall, fabulous high ceilings and of course, its prime location in one of the oldest and desirable parts of York - Bishophill. In our renovation, we purposely sought to retain the character of the building by honouring the history of the property, retaining its period features and incorporating these into its design and decor, which is an eclectic array of art and furniture from the Victorian to Mid Century Modern. We hope you will love what we have created and enjoy sharing it with your friends and family.
What makes this property unique
We named the house Menagerie House because that is just what it is. Of course guests are coming to see York but we want you to remember your stay as something special, an experience in itself far beyond your typical holiday let accommodation. Menagerie House is a collection of beautiful and unique things (and creatures!) intended to make you smile. Do come and experience the menagerie!
