Spencer House - a House of York holiday home is a stylish townhouse with a sunny courtyard. It sleeps up to 6 and is just a 5 min walk into central York. Parking is available and we're a 10 min walk from the station. It's located just off ‘Bishy Road’ (voted Britain’s best high street) with independent shops, pubs, restaurants, cafes & delis. You can also rent the 2 houses next door (109 and 107 Nunnery Lane allowing bookings of 12 or up to 18).

We pride ourselves on being couples and family friendly and we offer as much as we can to make your stay an enjoyable one.

After a fun day sight seeing you can have drinks in our sunny courtyard or chill out and watch a movie in the living room where the 52 inch TV has over 200 digital channels as well as Netflix and Disney +.

All guests are greeted with biscuits and everything needed to make a good cuppa. If you are bringing little ones we have a high chair, cot and a variety of games and books available on request.

We always make sure we supply the basics (having ourselves been frustrated by no dishwashing liquid or bin bags at rentals). We have USB charging ports in every room as well as cleaning equipment, store cupboard basics and the bathroom has soap, shower gel and shampoo.

We try to take any of the stress out of your stay so you can focus on enjoying the house and magnificent York! We help you to do this even further by giving you a House of York Craft Savvy Card that enables you to save up to 25% off the full price of food and drink you buy from many of York's independent bars, cafes and restaurants.
