Enjoyable stay

Had an enjoyable stay everything as advertised. Excellent bus routes & good location had everything I needed. Quiet property loved being close to nature & watching birds. Only minor issues were the comfort of the sofa which sagged & cleanliness of outside decking which hadn’t been cleaned. Very minor issues that didn’t effect the stay.

Fabulous stay - can’t fault it

What a great place to stay, very clean and well equipped, shower was better than at home. Very comfortable bed. Could not fault it and one of the best places we have stayed in the uk. Great location with a bus stop right outside the door to go into town and your own parking space. Will defiantly book again if we ever go back to York

Peace and nature just outside the center of York

Tawny Lodge is very special to us. We had bicycles with us: a 7-minute bike ride to the Cathedral. And a bus downtown stops right outside the gate. Inside everything is provided and it is spacious. The owners have taken care of this apartment in their own unique way, and with vision. Nature is important to them. The house has a very large backyard that they let go completely wild, making it very bird-friendly. We counted 16 different species. Including the namesake: a Tawny Owl, which looked us straight in the eyes one evening. To be able to see all those birds and the garden clearly, including two foxes, the owners made the fence around the big balcony/terrace out of glass. And they prune the trees right next to it, so you have a constant good view of this lovely city garden/forest. Something else special: there is a charging point for an electric car, next to their own for their own car. Especially for guests, and it is free!

Very comfortable

Very comfortable accommodation although sofa is more suited to tall people- as an average height female I did slide off. Would be useful if the directions stated that it’s between the turnings Moorgate and West Bank. As the house doesn’t have a number I had to park the car and go and look for it. Some of the items in the kitchen drawer were not particularly clean but I guess that reflects previous occupants rather than the cleaners. It is comfortable and convenient if you have a car. The garden is overgrown and if it was me I would have some pictures on the walls: it’s quite functional and masculine
