Great location
Excellent location, near train station, city centre and Bishy Road. Well equipped and cosy. Helpful team at Stays York responded speedily to our out-of-hours query about the lack of heating on arrival and we were able to resolve the issue, thank you.

Well Situated Home from Home
The Mustard Pot is a superb property, absolutely spotless and the decor appears brand new, it was extremely warm and cosy, with lots of quirky features including a vanity room next to the bathroom. A large tv which includes Netflix, two sets of stairs take you to the large bedroom with velux windows, one set takes you to the other bedroom, slightly smaller but still housing a double bed, the bathroom and vanity room are also on this level, The kitchen appears to be fully equipped (we ate out as it was a special birthday)
Within the City walls, a short walk from the Ouse Bridge and central York, the location is an excellent base, with it’s own courtyard, permit parking outside the property (permit provided) and a fantastic patisserie at the end of the Street.
