Located close to all the sites in York that we wanted to explore. It was located on a very quiet street.

We had such a great stay! Location was exactly what we wanted - good proximity without being in the heart of it all. It was a nice quiet area while still only bring 10-15 min from the train or main streets. Close for walking the walls as well! Emily was quick with responses and very clear with communication. The home itself is really beautifully done and I enjoyed using the kitchen and having some meals in. Felt very welcomed which was nice after doing a lot of travel. Being able to do some washing was also a huge plus! Thank you so much!

Great stay in perfect location!

The house was perfect for us! Close enough to walk to everything you could want in York but also quiet and residential. The hosts were so wonderful as well. In fact, our stay had shifted a bit and should we have the chance, we’d book again!

What a wonderful home to have stayed. My son and I stayed here for 9 nights recently late September and wanted to stay longer. The house is as listed & perfectly located to walk throughout the city center with ease. We thoroughly enjoyed the Bishy Road area for its food, shopping and nearby park along the river. A big shout out to Emily and Rowan for being the most amazing hosts and humans. We would definitely stay here again.

Stylish Stay

This little York accommodation was beautiful. The pictures are accurate. Lovely thoughtful decor. Emily has thought of everything. We had everything we needed and then some. Thank you for the wine and goodies on arrival. Location is out of the main core yet close enough to commute (even for a senior). The bed was a little firm for our liking but that is a personal choice. Communication was excellent. We would definitely stay again if our travels bring us back to York.

Truly wonderful!

My husband and teen daughter stayed at this propery for two nights ( wish it was more). It is in a perfect location, within the walls of York, walking distance from train station and to all sights. Beautifully decorated. Great layout, with bedrooms and bath upstairs. Also, the hosts went out of their way to be helpful and immediately responded to our questions about the heat and using the washer/dryer. Host Emily made several wonderful suggestions, including visiting the nearby community owned pub, The Golden Ball. Our only reqret is that we couldn't stay longer. Highly recommend.
