A pre-Christmas stay in York with our McRellies who know a good thing & have settled in England. Property is well placed for walking in to York but also handy for nearby bars, cinema & bistros. Decor & furniture in property is modern, in good condition & very pleasing. The ‘welcome pack’ was very welcome & our host did everything he could to accommodate our requests. We’ll be back when next we cross over the Pennines from God’s County of Lancashire. Thank you.

Christmas in York

The only negative about our experience is that we could stay for only 3 days. The property was perfect - the location was near the train station, and within a moderate walk from most everything we wanted to do in York. Paul was an excellent host, anticipating virtually all of our needs and addressing them ahead of time. The home was clean, comfortable and lacked nothing.

The best place we have stayed in York!

No. 42 is a stunningly renovated terrace house, with a convenient cafe next door. We were looking for a well equipped, three bedroom house and were definitely not disappointed! It will be out go-to option for future stays in York.

About the host

Hosted by Paul Craven

Welcome to No.42 Holgate. We’re beyond excited to have you visit!
This place is very special to us. Believe it or not, we bought this house on line during the Covid pandemic without actually visiting it!
We have a real passion for renovating and interior designing period properties. Normally we sell them on but this one was just too cute to let go of and we really do enjoy the odd stay here ourselves, tweaking the interior spaces and decor and visiting our favourite haunts in York. This picture by the way is of our dog Elvis, you'll find his portrait amongst many others on your way up the stairs - please do say "Hello Elvis" as you pass him - it's good luck!

Why they chose this property

No.42 oozes character, fun and charm. Many holiday lets are generic, safe and perhaps just a little too safe but No. 42 will wow you from the moment you arrive and is designed to be different from the norm with just a sprinkle of eccentric. Enjoy the space! This Grade II listed property has been created to give you a sense of occasion, a feeling that you are staying somewhere special. It’s also a great spot from which to discover York, just 10 minutes walk to either the city centre or the racecourse, with plenty of shops and cafes on the way.

What makes this property unique

This house offers both off street parking (with EV charging point) and a fabulous enclosed courtyard garden with festoon lighting for the evening. But perhaps you won't want to leave the fabulous cosy dining/bar room with its gallery picture wall, games, Alexa speaker for music and comfy table seating.
This could possibly be the best holiday home in York.
