Clifford House - 4 Bed Home Within The City Walls

The communication with the host was excellent.... parking directly outside the door and only a few streets away from the centre

We had an enjoyable stay overall. The property is in an excellent location, just a 10-minute walk from York city centre, making it ideal for exploring the city. The house provided plenty of space for our group, with three good-sized bedrooms and an attic room, and the beds were comfortable. The host was very responsive and provided clear instructions before arrival, including helpful information about the hot water system. We also felt the property offered good value for money for a weekend stay.

The main area for improvement is cleanliness and general maintenance. On arrival, the property did not appear to have been cleaned to a high standard. There was visible dirt on the stairs, smeared mirrors, a dirt ring in the bath, dust on the bathroom radiator, and marks on the kitchen cupboards. We also found that the toilet seats in both bathrooms were loose, a bedroom blind was broken, and there were noticeable marks on the wall in the front room.

Location was great so close to everything but in a very quiet area. Fell in love with Bishy Road. York is an amazing city and surrounding area. Good to have a convenient and comfortable place to stay.

Location was perfect

Cleanliness wasn't great :( especially in the kitchen where the oven and oven trays had been used previously and not washed up. Ditto with the frying pan and saucepans. General cleanliness wasn't great in the living room or bedrooms either. Two of the three light bulbs in the dining area were out, making it very dismal of an evening, and the garden light leading to the outside downstairs toilet ( which was not mentioned in the description as being an outside toilet) was also out making it difficult to use after 4.00pm when dark. Also, the toilet seats in both the bathroom and the outside toilet were broken Parking at the property was also an issue as it says there is parking for one vehicle outside the property, which I had requested, but no parking permit had been arranged. The host did eventually sort this out with a visitors parking permit, but I had to push to get it so not ideal, and not what you want after a 4 and a half hour drive. However, all that being said, we enjoyed our stay and loved York!
