About this property

The Cottage by The Walls - sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom

Located just a stone's throw away from York Minster, this charming 1 bedroom property is something of a hidden retreat.

It benefits from being set just off the street of Gillygate and enjoys all the benefits of being just a minutes' walk from the very heart of the city centre. Once you access the door on street, the entrance porch way transfers you to something of a hidden gem right by the city walls.

The property benefits from having an enclosed patio area at the rear that has views of the city walls and a charming garden area complete with beehive. Almost unheard of for a city centre property!

Inside the ground floor apartment itself there is a spacious lounge area with dining table. A fully fitted kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine. The bedroom comes complete with a king size bed and the bathroom features a walk in shower.

Great location and very quiet. Very near York Minster and many wonder coffee shops and restaurants. Quite large with nice patio.

The cottage by the wall

We enjoyed our stay in York , The accomodations location was really good for quick access to Yorks walled city, with easy access to the wall itself which can be used as a less crowded route to other parts of York on busy weekends This secluded accomodations work well for us with easy access to transport links too as a bonus

Brief Visit to York

Location was good for what we wanted to visit. No mention in the description about being located next to a pub so it was a bit noisy as was the upstairs tenant. The terrace looks far more charming in the photos than what we found during our visit and the bed as well as the bed linens need updating.

Truly Wonderful

This is a wonderful place to stay. The cottage itself is very comfortable and well equipped. The location could not be more convenient, within easy walking distance of the train station. York Minster is right around the corner, as is the entire historic district and its many attractions. And the city's medieval wall? It's in the backyard. The property managers at Stays York are delightful. When we reported what proved to be a minor radiator problem requiring a routine adjustment, someone was at our door in 5 minutes. We would love to return to York and stay in this property again.

Excellent location

Great little property close to everything but yet quiet and peaceful .All the comforts of home only one downside was the strong foul odour in the kitchen which I reported to manager never heard what the outcome was but hopefully they sort out before next guests arrive
