Our second stay at The Birdie. This time with our grandson and family. The house is in a quiet location with parking and a level 20 minute walk into York itself, slightly longer with a toddler! The house is spacious and benefits from a secure, flat garden backing onto the 18th hole of the local golf course. The apple tree continues to drop apples, so not a good idea to stand under it for any length of time. It was a suntrap in the garden, but managed to find shade most of the time.
Inside, the bedrooms are a good size with plenty of storage and large, comfortable beds. The fans were most welcomed in them. There is an upside bathroom with a large shower, but no bath.
The kitchen is well equipped and benefits from a utility room with a washing machine and downstairs toilet. Great to eat meals at the dining table, and then relax on chairs and sofa in living room.
The Birdie was generally clean when we arrived, but paintwork needs a bit of freshening up. Last year, it wasn't so noticeable. The back door didn't open and Stays York came out to look promptly, with maintenance due to look at, but this didn't happen. Not a major issue as bifold doors opened from dining area to give rear access. Might not be so good when weather gets wetter.
We really like the location of the house and the space it offers. It is in a pleasant residential road with a Co-op a 5 minute walk away. We will certainly return again as love York and the surrounding area.
