Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No dishwasher in the kitchen — One guest noted that while the kitchen is well equipped, it lacks a dishwasher, which may be a consideration for longer stays.
- Check-in window is in the late afternoon and evening — Check-in is only possible between 16:00 and 22:00, which may not suit early arrivals.
- No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with an animal.
- No on-site staff — This is a self-catering town house rather than a hotel, so there is no 24-hour front desk. Key access is provided.

9.4Verified guest“Ideal for our group. Having the whole house gave us space to relax in the lounge with coffee. Beds were bliss and showers amazing. The house is beautifully decorated and clean. Location is great, 10 minutes from the centre, with convenient parking. Surreal to see a famous landmark from the window in the evening.”
9.4Verified guest“Fabulous weekend in this lovely house. Kitchen was well equipped, though I wish I'd noticed there was no dishwasher. My daughter loved her bed, and the highchair, cot, and kids' plates were great. Walking distance to York. Host communication was good, and the log burner added a lovely vibe. Tea and coffee provided.”
9.4Verified guest“Wonderful stay. Location superb, 10-minute walk to the town centre. The house is beautifully decorated and equipped with everything I needed. Beds incredibly comfortable, showers amazing. Attention to detail like hair dryers in every bathroom and a well-equipped kitchen. Spotlessly clean, and cleaning products supplied. Parking permit was a real bonus.”
9.4Verified guest“Wonderful stay. The house's convenience and comfort were outstanding. Walking distance to groceries and the Minster. Despite the cold, the house was warm with a lovely fireplace. Our university-aged son loved the spacious upstairs room. Perfect space for our trip. Returning to York after many years was memorable.”
