Is there a better location to stay in York? Probably not.

Bishophill is one of the best neighbourhoods in the city due to it's proximity to the city centre. Even though it's so close (only 10 minutes walk) it's just off the beaten track and away from the noise and bustle.

The house is just inside York's medieval city walls. This means you can easily climb the nearby steps and walk on the walls around to Micklegate, or further on to York Railway Station and into the city.

Some of York's best restaurants and cafes are close by on Bishopthorpe 'Bishy' Road and Micklegate.

Bishopthorpe 'Bishy' Road is a perfect example of a local high street with a strong independent identity. It has everything you'll need during your stay including restaurants, cafes, pubs, bakeries, hairdressers, butchers and even a hardware store!

Micklegate leads you into the city centre and again has some great cafes, restaurants, pubs and bars, and independent shops. Partisan, Rattle Owl and Skosh are all highly recommended places to eat during your visit.

Parking
The house is situated in a resident parking zone and it's usually easy to park directly outside the house. We can provide a visitor parking permit for one car for £5 per day until a max of 25 for 5 days or more. There is a public car park nearby (Nunnery Lane Carpark) if you have a 2nd car. (It's around £15-£20 per day)

Once you arrive, you shouldn't really need your car again unless you're visiting somewhere out of the city. The house is perfectly located for walking to all of York's attractions. The city centre is only 10 mins walk, and you've got Bishy Road (6 mins) and Micklegate (6 mins) practically on your doorstep, which have some of York's best restaurants, cafes, bars and pubs.

If you want to head to Designer Outlet for some shopping, you can get a Number 7 bus from Prices Lane (2 mins walk) which will take you straight there.
