Only a 10 min walk to the centre of York, this property was ideal for our weekend away, exploring the shops, history, and christmas markets!. Plenty of space, large bedrooms, clean and a nice homely feel. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend away, thank you

Quiet neighborhood, close to the city center. The host was very responsive to our needs. The beds were a little hard for my aching back. But I’m an also accustomed to a soft bed.

Christmas in York

What an AMAZING property! Conveniently located to City Centre, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a home away from home. Beth is a wonderful host and her communication with us about a delayed check in (due to inclement weather) was spot on. My family and I HIGHLY recommend Beth’s property to anyone looking for a great experience.

Great house and location

Lovely property - comfortable, nice decor, clean and very well equipped. The VRBO description of bathrooms is not accurate though - it says that there are 2 bathrooms with a shower only (one en suite on ground floor, one family bathroom on first floor) plus a separate toilet. The main bathroom has a shower and bath but no toilet ie property has 2 toilets and not 3. Not a problem for our party of 4 but might be a bit of an issue if there were 8 people staying.

Hello Gillian, thank you for your 5 star review, very kind and I am delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay. Regarding the bathrooms, the portals count each room which has a shower, toilet, basin or bath in it, hence stating three. So as there are three of these rooms this is seen as correct within their guidelines. I do appreciate it can be confusing and always best to read hosts descriptions and have a good look through photos too. Thank you again, Kind regards, Beth
