Lovely place for a relaxing stay.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Maggie's Place! It is extremely comfortable, especially the beds, with quality furnishings and everything you need in the kitchen, should you choose to cook. The welcome hamper was lovely and much enjoyed. The location was brilliant and very quiet, with only a short walk to the shops and bars and the centre of York Would certainly be happy to return.

We really enjoyed our short stay in Maggie's Place. It was the perfect location for exploring all that York has to offer and the house itself is v well equipped and ideal for our group of five. We loved that we could bring our cavapoo with us and my daughter had a brilliant birthday there. Thank you!

Central but quiet

Excellent accommodation less than 10 min walk to the city centre. For such a central property the street was quiet. The property was beautifully decorated and the beds lovely and comfortable. We took our small dog who felt right at home. Would highly recommend and will be back. Only downside is no parking outside but this didn’t bother us as we came by train and again train station was 10 min walk away.

Wonderful little find in the heart of torkt

My family and I have just stayed at Maggoes place for 9 nights. It’s a beautiful 2 bed mid terrace home which has a sofa bed as a third bedroom in the lounge. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything needed and the seating area- particularly in the kitchen area which has an additional sofa was very comfortable. The beds are lovely and cosy and beautiful Roman blinds provide blackout from the sun. Tastefully decorated and 10 minute walk into York centre and 2 minutes from Micklegate, I loved nipping for a coffee and croissant in a morning from the variety of coffee shops on Mickelgate. We only had one issue with the property and that was the internet. This was intermittent and as all the TVs in the house were smart this affected their use. Despite trying to reset the router there was a clear fault on it as the light never went to green and we did wonder if there was an electrical issue as turning the floor lamp on in the kitchen affected the internet.

Far Exceeded My Expectations

I had a fantastic stay at Maggie's Place! The place was very well furnished and modernized, with a sleek design that made it feel both comfortable and stylish. Everything was nice and tidy, which made it easy to settle in and relax. The instructions for the stay were clear and well communicated, making the entire experience hassle-free. A special highlight was the thoughtful care package of local goods, which added a beautiful touch and made me feel truly welcome. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a delightful and seamless stay!

A great stay!

Thanks so much for a great stay! Clean, comfortable, brilliant location for getting around York. The parking wasn’t an issue at all, but there is always ample on-street parking outside the house, so would be beneficial to provide a permit if able. The NCP car park is only a few mins walk away in any case so no big deal. We were a family of 4 with a small dog. Maggie’s Place was super comfortable and we appreciated the downstairs space for separate TV watching in the evenings! Beautifully tasteful quality furnishings (which is hard to find when you have a dog!) and a fab rear terrace for some outdoor space. All in all, we had an amazing stay and have already recommended to others!

Excellent Clean & Cozy Property with Amazing Location and Amenties

We spent four nights at Maggies Place in York during our recent family trip, and it was a fantastic experience. The location is superb, just a 15-minute walk from York Train Station and conveniently close to all city center attractions. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, including a Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express. Despite being centrally located, the neighborhood was quiet, making it ideal for our stay in York. The property itself was outstanding. It was immaculately clean, tastefully furnished with quality pieces, and adorned with beautiful decorations. Inside, it felt modern with excellent amenities like reliable WiFi, TVs in both the living room and bedrooms, and incredibly comfortable beds with crisp linens. The kitchen was a highlight, equipped with modern appliances including a hob, dishwasher, washer with dryer, microwave, fridge with freezer, oven, and all necessary cookware. The bathrooms featured heated flooring, and there was a lovely outdoor seating area as well. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a thoughtful welcome package including sparkling wine, local crisps, and candies—a nice touch that added to our enjoyment of the stay. The only drawback was the single bathroom, which, despite having exhaust fans, could become odorous at times. It was on the smaller side and might pose challenges for elderly guests due to its layout. However, the presence of air fresheners helped mitigate this issue. Overall, our experience at Maggies Place was exceptional. The combination of its stellar cleanliness and unbeatable location made our stay thoroughly enjoyable. We encountered no issues and would eagerly return in the future. Highly recommended.

Perfect location! Perfect vacation!

This lovely little home is beautifully decorated in a modern style and is equipped with all the amenities you could want. A lovely welcome box of local treats made for a great first impression. Checking in was quick and easy after a short walk from the train station. We easily walked to all the major York attractions. I would not hesitate to recommend this property and award it 5 stars!

Very clean and comfortable, smart tv’s in every room, wifi, looks new inside. Very nice.

Easy to book with clear instructions on using parking etc. Clean and comfortable. Near to town and attractions- 5 minutes walk to town. Parking is outside the property but street is very narrow and a bit tricky at times but we always had a space, nothing to worry about just nice to know beforehand. We had a lovely break at Maggie’s Place.
