It was a perfect location for walking into York, yet tucked away on a lovely quiet street. It was a peaceful location and we were very impressed with the house.

The location was great! The photos were very accurate and did not exagerate the size of the place. Plenty of room for the 4 of us with very easy walking access to everything. Very quiet in the evenings. We appreciated the fans provided as outdoor temperatures were high during part of our stay.

Cozy cottage, perfect location.

An adorable home base for exploring York. Location is walkable from both the train station and historic centre. Self-checkin was smooth. The cottage is charmingly outfitted with vintage flair. The heating was a little wonky but we figured it out after a couple of days. Stairs are steep but manageable. The neighbourhood is delightful. Be sure to check out the 11th-century church just steps away. And the historic Ackhorne pub just around the corner. Victoria Cottage would be especially lovely for a winter stay. I would stay again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful home in excellent location

Perfect stay for two nights with my husband and son. Very comfortable and only a 10 minute walk to town. York Stays were brilliant throughout. The only problem was that despite the parking permit being included we got a parking ticket right outside the house which we were told we need to appeal ourselves. We are still awaiting the outcome. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Great stay for small family

We had a very nice stay at Victoria Cottage. The location is prime for access to the train station and walking into the city. We didn’t have a car and we were able to get around easily. The cottage is super cute and charming. The stairs are very steep so I would not recommend this for small children who may have trouble on the stairs, however it wasn’t a problem for us. Our exchanges with customer service were pleasant and efficient. This is a wonderful option if you are traveling to York!

Lovely stay in York

We spent 4 nights at Victoria Cottage in May/June. It is in a great location, literally 5 minutes walk into the city centre. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped for both short and longer stays having been tastefully decorated. There are several nice restaurants near by if you want to eat out or you can shop for supplies and eat in. A car parking permit is provided however it’s worth noting that this does not allow you to park on the street outside only in council car parks. The closest one is about 5 mins away on foot.

Great house

Excellent house in great location. Warm and clean. The only downside is that there was no opportunity to recycle any rubbish. We contacted stays York to ask where to put the glass and they suggested with the rest of the rubbish. We left them in the house! Also it would be helpful if some additional rubbish bags and some surface cleaner could be left . BUT, notwithstanding the minor details the house is excellent!!!

Great location

Great location. Lovely and clean cottage. I took my mum with me who is 85 years, the stairs are very steep going to the bedrooms, and quite dangerous for her in the night as the bathroom is down stairs. I couldn’t get the television to work and realised the battery’s didn’t work, so had to buy new batteries. The hairdryer wasn’t there so called your office and they replaced the next day but not till the afternoon.

Very Disappointed

Stairs are very steep - so this house is not recommended for anyone with mobility problems. Electronic car parking permit issued by StaysYork did not prevent us from getting a Penalty Charge Notice claiming 'parking time had been exceeded.' StaysYork confirmed, in response to my written complaint, that the permit was valid. This is a very narrow street with no proper turning head at the end where Nr 10 is located. The Enforcement Officer said that he had responded to a complaint received about blocking a garage (opposite the house). This had not occurred. No person asked me to move the vehicle at any time during out stay. I can only conclude that someone living in the street is hostile to visitors who park their cars here.

Lovely Cottage

Can’t fault staysyork or the cottage. This was the first time I’ve rented a house for a few days and found it much better than using a hotel. It was reassuring to have staystork phone me the day before arrival asking if I had any questions etc. I did contact them via email when booking and they replied within an hour, again it’s reassuring to know someone is available to help. The cottage location was great, it was clean and well thought out. I will defo be using them again.

Had the best time

We stayed at Victoria Cottage for our 15 Year Anniversary and we loved it. It is minutes walking distance from the Town Centre, great location. The house itself is lovely, very clean and has everything you need. We enjoyed it that much that we stayed an extra two days, which was no problem with the owners and we just called up, booked again and just paid over the phone. My only negative comment would be that it was quite expensive but it is in the prime location and very clean and tidy so can't really moan.
