This is a lovely little apartment very close to York city centre . It had everything we need for our stay. We’d like to thank Rebecca and her husband for their hospitality and help. We’ll definitely be back.

Had a great stay and in such a good location with just a short walk into the centre. Parking was simple and just round the corner. Had everything we needed. Would definitely visit again. Our only feedback would be that the bed was very firm so a mattress topper might offer a little more comfort but otherwise everything was great!

The property was ideally situated for very easy access into the city. Was equipped with more than what was needed for a long weekend.
