About this property
Very central G2 listed building. Free parking & WIFI. 4 mins walk to York Minste
The front of the property overlooks the city walls and is perfectly placed in a central location only 4 minutes walk from York Minster and the historic city centre. The apartment is just around the corner from 14th century Monk Bar, the tallest and most elaborate of the 4 Bars of the city walls. The Grade 2 listed building was formerly the nurses quarters to the old city hospital and the first floor apartment is newly furnished and new to the holiday rental market. The apartment is to the rear of the property and shares a communal entrance hall and gardens. The bedroom has a king-sized bed fitted with crisp cotton sheets and the good sized wardrobe and bedside drawers should provide ample space. The lounge contains a comfortable sofa and large screen TV plus an attractive electric stove providing heat &/or a nice cosy glow to the room. There is also a small extending dining table and 2 chairs for the traveller who prefers a quiet, cosy meal away from the crowds after a busy days sightseeing. The kitchen is well equipped with electric oven and hob plus microwave, washing machine and fridge. The bathroom has a newly fitted over-the-bath shower and glass screen. Although a car wouldn't be needed due to the central location there is an allocated parking space suitable for a regular sized car. There are countless bars and restaurants in the popular Goodramgate area only 2 minutes walk away and 2 supermarkets close by, a large Morrisons and a mid-size Asda both about 8 mins walk away (or a short drive).

Located in York, this apartment is in the city centre. Notable landmarks in the area include Shambles and York Minster. Yorkshire Museum and Yorkshire Museum Gardens are also worth visiting. Power boating and swimming offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with cycling nearby.
Onsite parking a huge bonus, The host Bev was extremely communicative and helpful. The kitchen had all the required equipment that is needed. The property is very clean and comfortable and very quiet. It's close proximity to Monkbar made it so easy to explore the city. I would highly recommend this property .
Great apartment! The location just outside the city walls made exploring York on foot very easy. It comfortable quiet, and well equipped for cooking and relaxing. Would definitely stay here again.
This was a lovely apartment for our stay in York. It was clean and well appointed, quiet, and comfortable and warm during a cold week. Walking to the Minster, Shambles, city wall, and other attractions was easy, quick, and pleasant. Bev was an extremely helpful and responsive host, and I would certainly stay again.
Bev, our host was a delight and was extremely communicative and helpful in every regard! The flat is well appointed and is very well situated for walking access to the city.

Many thanks for your lovely review Anita. It was a pleasure to host you and you’re very welcome back anytime. It was lovely of you to strip the bed and leave everything so clean and tidy.
Many thanks
Very good location for visiting York. Only 5 min walk from the centre. Next to a Sainsbury, so daily shopping is also easy. The appartment is spacious and comfortable. Good parking place for the car too.
The apartment was very well equipped and comfortable. A lovely quiet location and only 500 yards from city centre. Will definitely recommend it to friends and family and hope to visit again.
The apartment is a spacious, comfortable one bedroom.
The location is perfect for exploring York.

Response from Yvonne when I queried the 2 star rating….. Hi Bev sorry but I thought I had given you a 4 star review? The minus one star was just about access and stairs. We are in our seventy’s and technology is hard to navigate for the older generation, and I apologise for any confusion over the ratings
The apartment was clean and comfortable, a great location for the centre/sites of York and lots to see and do.
Allocated parking space, we did not need to use car during our stay as within short walking distance to centre, York minster and sights of York.
We loved our stay and would definitely return.
Great communication with Bev the proprietor, thank you.
Spent 4 nights in York. Wanted to be near the Minster but not stay in a hotel as we don’t enjoy eating out all the time. Also, as we’d been in Europe for 3 weeks we wanted the availability of laundry facilities.
Well equipped 1st floor flat in converted historic house. Short walk to city centre. Parking onsite which is a real bonus in York. Supermarket 2 mins walk. Comfortable bed and very comfortable sofa. Ideal for a short stay.

Thank you for your review Mark and for looking after the flat. I’m pleased you were comfortable there and I hope you come again one day.
Excellent accommodation just outside city walls of York
We had a very enjoyable few days in this delightful apartment in York. It was roomy, clean, cosy, comfortable and very quiet. Location was excellent being just outside the city walls and only 5 minutes walk to the Minster and 15 minutes walk to the railway station. Added bonus was having a Sainsburys a short distance behind the residence but far enough away for us not to be aware of it.

The Perfect Place to Stay in York
Bev’s place was very comfortable and in the PERFECT location, literally steps from one of the town’s main gates and within a 5- to 10-minute leisurely walk from all of the main sites and great restaurants but still very quiet and just off the main tourist area. It could not have been more perfect. Michelle and Terry
