An absolutely lovely property to stop in for Christmas and birthday on the 27th. and visited my daughter who lives in York and only thing I was disappointed with was there was no Christmas tree !
However, they were other decorations, just a personal preference of mine! Also had a lovely surprise of a food hamper from stays York! such a lovely thought

This house and location were perfect for our stay when visiting York after Christmas. Everything was within walking distance, and being right next to the shops and cafés on the next road was a real bonus. The house was spotlessly clean, and it was clear a lot of thought had gone into the layout and facilities.
We were a family of four with two children, and the space worked really well for us all. The furnishings and amenities were high quality, and we had all we needed for a comfortable stay. We were very warm despite the cold outside. The festive hamper from York Stays was very gratefully received, and the communication throughout was spot on.
Highly recommended, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thank you!

A lovely house in a great location for everything that is available on Bishopthorpe Road and for walking into York centre.

An ideal house to use as a base to explore York. It's next to a mini high street with all the amenities.
We travelled by train and it was an easy 20 minutes walk from the station.
Clean, comfy and quiet even though there's a busy but excellent pub two doors down.
Brilliant welcome pack and Stays York were very responsive to our requests for a tea towel that was missing in the kitchen.
We both agreed if we visited again, we'd look to book this first.
