Chez Mannion - a family break that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

A true one of a kind property that has been stylishly refurbished in 2024 throughout to provide an exquisite finish whilst retaining the 16th century features and boasting views of York Minster.

This stunning 16th-century apartment is ideal for couples or families wanting to explore the sights of the city and the natural beauty of the surrounding countryside. Situated above the renowned Mannion & Co cafe in the city centre, you are surrounded by independent shops and eateries amongst the cobbled streets, as well as having views of magnificent York Minster.

You're also within a few hundred metres of York's many interesting attractions. Beyond the walls, there is some picturesque countryside to be explored on foot or by bike. As its age would suggest, this charming apartment is packed with original features, but these are blended seamlessly with contemporary style and decor to create a luxurious apartment. Whilst exposed beams, wooden panelling and exquisite fireplaces add character, the crisp white walls and neutral palette make it feel bright and fresh throughout. Occasional pops of colour add comfort and interest.

After ascending the staircase past the Mannion's Cafe below, you will find yourself in the kitchen/diner. This light and airy room is well-equipped with everything you'll need to cook up some tasty treats. It has bespoke cabinets and an interesting breakfast bar and separate dining table. You'll find Miele appliances, Duolit kettle & toaster and Burleigh crockery.

Moving through the lounge, you will appreciate the sense of comfort. Its focal point is the fireplace (decorative only), whilst the handmade pure cotton,velvet chairs and handmade mohair sofa all by George Smith, invite you to sink into them. Once again, exposed beams in the walls remind you of the apartment's heritage. There is the added bonus of a piano in this room for those with an inclination to tinkle on the ivories.

Also on this floor is one of the 3 bedrooms.The peaceful master bedroom with a king-size handmade bed, made by the finest bedmaker in Britain, will make you feel like you're sleeping like on a cloud. This room has magnificent wall-panelling, painted for a contemporary twist and the sumptuous curtains add to the sense of grandeur.

Upstairs is the twin room. The vaulted ceiling adds space and light, but there is restricted height in places. The well presented double bedroom lies opposite the twin room with the bathroom of the property on the same floor featuring a luxuriously large walk in shower.

Outside there is a small seating area and an outbuilding down the stairs housing a washer/dryer for your private use.

The property includes a digital parking permit for 1 car. This can be used at Bootham Row car park (5 minutes walk away) or Union Terrace car park (8 minutes walk away). It's possible to pull up on Duncombe Place (just by the entrance of the property) to drop bags initially.
