About this property

30 Woodsmill Quay - sleeps 3 guests in 1 bedroom

Stylishly presented and completely newly furnished throughout this beautiful one bedroom apartment makes a great choice for any stay in the city.

The fantastic location makes ideal for guests in York on either business or leisure. Whether you just want a central base to walk to the office or a great place to relax on the sofa and watch the river. If gazing out at the river is not your thing then don't worry, there's always the large LCD TV and DVD player to entertain you along with the large iPhone docking station for your tunes.

The kitchen comes with everything you'd expect like a dishwasher, washing machine etc. It also benefits from having solid wood worktops; an unusual feature in a city centre apartment. The property has a larger than average amount of storage space if needed.

The bedroom and bathroom are both presented excellently. The bathroom has been newly tiled and features a shower over the bath. The bedroom is tastefully presented and also has great river views.

The apartment features a very comfortable sofa bed in the lounge area to accommodate an extra guest if needed too.

An ideal spot close to everything

We were travelling down from near Aberdeen, an with a 6 year old, needed somewhere a little more spacious than just a family hotel room. Woodsmill Quay came up, and it fitted the bill completely. One bedroom, with a sofa bed in the living room, it was roomy enough with everything we needed. It was extremely clean, and came with everything we might have hoped for and more. Its location is ten minutes walk from the train station, an about 5 minutes into the heart of York itself. The views out over the River Ouse were lovely, and the arrangements for entry were super smooth. The only slight criticism would be that the mattress in the man bedroom could do with replacement, but otherwise we would definitely book in there again, and definitely recommend stays York to others.

This was a perfect vacation stay. Come home exhausted from a day of sightseeing and sit and relax watching the boats, kayaks, ducks and even an occasional swan go by. The location is minutes from attractions and restaurants. If you care to fix something to eat at home, the apartment is fully equipped. It was an enjoyable place to call home!

Fantastic place

The appointment was excellent very spacious and in an excellent location the appointment had everything you need for a relaxing break the only thing I can think of that would have made thing a little better would have been a bigger fan as York was very hot while we were there but I'm still giving the room 10 out of 10

Excellent experience

Ideal location with beautiful views of the Ouze River and the city. Easy access abd short walks (5 to 10 minutes) to the city, Shambles, Minster, pubs and restaurants. The space was clean and comfortable. It would have been ideal if the place was equipped with a clothes dryer, but other than that, it was perfect for us.

Great apartment overlooking the river

My daughter and I stayed here for three nights. The location was excellent - an easy walk from the train station and an equally easy walk to all the York attractions. We loved sitting by the window and watching the pubs across the river and the boats going past. All basics provided and even the sofa bed was comfortable.

Perfect place to stay!

My husband and I spent four days in York earlier this month. When I am looking for an apartment, my most important criteria is location. Woodsmill Quay was absolutely perfect. Overlooks the River Ouse, which is beautiful at all times of year and situated between the Ouse and Skeldergate Bridges, which gave us quick access into the city center. Clean, secure, and had everything we needed. Highly recommend.

Ten out of ten

The apartment is a short easy walk from the train station. Communication with the property manager was excellent; prompt responses to a couple of questions we had. The property is close to York sights, good restaurants and to a Sainsbury Local if you’d like to buy your own groceries. A Marks and Spencer is not far across the Lower Ouse Bridge. The apartment is immaculate and well appointed. We’re very pleased to have spent a few nights here. And the view across the river is very pleasant.

Perfect. Clean, new, great location, nice view, attentive owners.

This apartment is located across the river from a bunch of bars, this was the only thing that made me slightly nervous about staying here. That said, even with the windows open you could barely hear any noise on a warm summer weekend tonight. This place was wonderful and we would absolutely stay there again. It was clean, nicely Furnished, fully equipped, and an historic building, and the owners were very attentive to our needs. The place is set up as a one bedroom, but our daughter was able to sleep in a comfortable pull out couch in the living room, this was much better than staying at a hotel. I highly recommend this apartment.

Week in York

As we arrived in York by train we were advised by Stays York that our apartment was cleaned and ready for us. This was 2 hours early so we were delighted. It is about a 15 minute walk from the railway station with suitcases. We had stayed in No 30 before. It is very well equipped with everything you need to make your stay comfortable and it is sparkling clean. There is a welcome pack of milk, biscuits with lots of Yorkshire tea and coffee provided. It is ideally suited for easy access to the town facilities and also exploring the surrounding area by train. Across the River Ooze there are outside tables and bars which do create some noise mainly on Friday and Saturday nights. However if you close your windows you do not hear anything. The views from the windows are splendid with boats of all types going up and down the river. I highly recommend this apartment and would have no hesitation in going there again.

Great location. Poor heating.

This property has a very good location and view, with a river view from the window and close to the city centre. However, maybe the wooden floor in the property is not so solid in some parts and it makes a sound when you step on it. And multiple parts of the heating in the property don't work well. For example, the heating in the bedroom would switch off by itself. Even if I made sure the heating was on before I went to bed, it would switch off when I woke up. This resulted in me catching a cold during my stay; and the heating in the doorway needed to be turned up very high to work. Still, the staff at Stays York were very nice and brought me a portable heater after I informed them of the problem with the heating.
Response from VrboOwner on 29 January 2025
I am sorry for the issues you have raised. After discussing with the owner, these are night storage heaters. So are set to come in the evening, there has not been any issues with these heaters. But I am glad the team were able to drop off a portable heater for you. I hope it won't stop you from visiting York again soon.
