About this cottage rental
Built in 2016, this one bedroom property has been constructed to a very high standard throughout. ‘The Smithy' is located in the village of Fulford, a short 5 minute drive from the city centre. There is private off street parking just next to the property for your convenience.
The cottage itself has a fantastic open plan feel in the downstairs area. The spacious living area runs through into the high specification kitchen. The kitchen area features a range of high end appliances including washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher etc. A very nice feature of this property is the large skylight above the kitchen that allows a great deal of natural light in. Patio doors open on to the private outdoor area that's perfect for summer evenings and a very rare feature for a one bedroom property. A staircase leads to the upstairs bedroom. The adjoining ensuite has been tastefully styled and features a good size walk in shower.
The property can also accommodate 1 small, well-behaved dog in the downstairs living area.

Strait forward instructions given for gaining access to the property, although it was tricky to find the the entry route at times of heavy traffic. We became expect with time.
Loved the welcomers hamper and thoughtful provision of small items often forgotten.eg.dishwasher tablet.Also enjoyed selection of cookbooks.
Black bin full on arrival ( understandable)
Would be useful to illustrate on the notice board as to the necessity of placing this at the street entrance.
The door handle on the downstairs loo was a safety hazard in an emergency situation as this came off completely and could cause panic in a child or older visitor.
Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed our short break in York and apologies again as our hasty departure scrambled the location for the key on exit. My fault entirely

The Smithy was a wonderful base for our trip to York and local area. There was everything we needed, a comfortable, modern, well equipped home which was warm and cosy and beautifully decorated! Quiet and private with a really nice outside area too, and a fantastic pub on the doorstep, would recommend The Plough to anyone staying, and very dog friendly too. We could walk into York along the riverside (a fair way, but manageable), and also get to other towns and tourist spots easily during our stay. The only downside was the regular sized double bed - it was really comfortable but we are spoiled with a super king at home and felt a bit squashed - personal taste rather than a fault. Altogether a really lovely stay and would recommend! Thank you

Fantastic accommodation didn't want to come home. Brilliant location if you are competing in the york marathon only 1.5 mile walk to the University of york. Bus stop over the road with lots bus companies going into york city centre. The plough Inn pub over the road great food and nice staff. Free parking space outside accommodation. Would definitely stay at the smithy again.
Only negative thing was the wine glasses they were so thin they literally broke in your hand when trying to clean them. I did inform staysyork and suggested replacing them with better quality glasses.
