Just a 2-minute walk from the cathedral, the house is nestled right against the York city walls. The cozy balcony even features a part of the ancient wall, offering a lovely view of the Museum Gardens. With its comfortable sofa and mattress, it's the perfect choice for your York getaway.

Great hosts, great home, great find!

Happy to have found this place, it was a seamless experience from start to finish. Hosts were great and very responsive. House was placed just a stone throw from the city walls so was very close to everything. Parking was provided in the car park opposite. Great stay here.

Super location

Easy access to York Minster and nearby pubs. Car parking easy when you find it - Radio York offices off Bootham Road would of located it easier. Lots of stairs in accommodation, very tight with anyone with mobility issues.
