A happy stay in a wonderful part of York
We stayed in Marygate for a week with our two young children. The apartment has been recently refurbished and is very light and airy throughout. It was very warm (a little too warm at times) and retained its heat. The underfloor heating in the bathrooms requires a PhD to operate! It's brilliantly located in the city thoug, close to the centre of town, with a very pleasant walk through the museum gardens.
We'd be slightly concerned about staying here in the summer, as we could only get one small bathroom window to open, which made us feel a little claustrophobic. The master bedroom has two beds pushed together and unfortunately the pillows were a little uncomfortable.
It would have been really helpful if basic supplies such as cooking oil, salt and pepper had been supplied. There were 2 dishwasher and 2 washing machine tablets provided and cleaning products. Again, a more generous amount would have been appreciated. The hand soap had also run out in one of the bathrooms. There was a nice hamper on arrival though and the apartment was generally clean - apart from some obvious dustiness under the sofa and beds.
We were hoping the rental company would have provided a high chair and travel cot, but they were unwilling to do so. Unfortunately we couldn’t find any provision for recycling inside or out, which is disappointing in this day and age.
Overall, we did enjoy our stay. We hope the company running the property can take on board this feedback to make it a 5 star review.
