About this cottage rental
Quirky, a tucked away gem, an amazing little space. Those are just some of the words we've used recently to try and describe Minster Loft, but really it's far better to come and see it for yourself to truly appreciate this one bedroom loft apartment.
Located at the top of a historical listed building, the apartment is also right next door to the birthplace of the infamous Guy Fawkes. So you are immediately immersed in the history of the city. It's also incredibly well positioned too. Just stepping out of the door puts you within a two minute walk of all the attractions in the city and also the renowned shopping streets of Stonegate and Low Petergate are literally on the doorstep.
There are many period features on show within the apartment that are apparent as soon as you open the door. They are also very nicely complimented by the choice of furnishings throughout. There is a stylish galley kitchen complete with electric oven and hob and also a dining table to seat up to 4 for dinner. The lounge area also has a wall mounted LCD TV where you can relax with a luxury coffee from the coffee machine provided.
The bedroom has a stunning view of York Minster, you feel like you can reach out and touch it. There is also a very modern looking shower room located opposite the bedroom.
Minster Loft at a glance:
- Tasteful presentation and period features throughout
- Fantastic York Minster views from the bedroom window
- City centre location with all that York has to offer right on the doorstep
- Stylish shower room
Please be aware that this is a second floor apartment with no lift access. The apartment also has a restricted head height in places due to the angle of the roof so not recommended for people over 5'11. Paid for parking is available close by - please enquire for details.

The check-in was easy and straightforward. The climb up the steep flights of stairs to the top was worth it as the door to the lodgings opened up into a bright and welcoming space. Sloping ceilings might make this tricky for some but I was surprised by how spacious the Minster loft is. Everything was clean and well presented. There was even a welcome pack of tea, coffee and biscuits. The kitchen area was well supplied with equipment, two sofas and a separate dining table area made this a comfortable base from which to explore York. And when wandering around was done a lovely bathroom and bedroom to come home to and rest ready for another day's adventures. A brilliant central location, all the information needed well set out in the folder provided and a contact number in event of emergency made this a relaxing and stress free break. Thanks to all the team at Stays York.

I liked this place a LOT. Great location, super cozy, in the middle of it all. Important -- if you are taller than 5 feet 5 inches it will be uncomfortable for you. It is also at the top of three flights of stairs. The check in process was easy, the hardest part was figuring out which key went to which door. After that, it was all smooth!!

This is the 2nd time we've stayed at Minster Loft. The best thing about it is the location. Next door to York Minster with shops, restaurants and everything else just a stones throw away. Stays York communication is really good too. We love this little place so will definitely stay again. Only negatives are the stairs up to the property and it would be nice to have a tv in the bedroom after a long day exploring.

Minster Loft was a wonderful apartment in terms of its location and views and Chris was very helpful showing me the keys and access. It was always nicely warm and cosy and a good place to have a peaceful break. Sadly the provision in the apartment was rather poor for accommodation that was listed as “boutique”. There was no bottle of milk in the fridge to allow for that first cup of tea (horrible UHT milk capsules instead). The Wifi did not reach the bedroom, there were no instructions for the oven and no oven gloves. The cutlery and plates looked as if they had come from the jumble sale and there was no washing up bowl, egg cups or teapot. It was the first apartment I have stayed in at Christmas where no effort was made to decorate which was quite sad. I would agree with the comments passed about it not being suitable for tall people as the ceiling, particularly in the bedroom is low.
