We felt very, very comfortable in this wonderful house. We were very kindly welcomed by Graham personally, so that no questions remained about practical things around the house. We further were equipped with a lot of very thoughtful personal recommendations for things to do in the area. The almost overflowing gift basket provided us with delicacies throughout the whole time! Overall, you could really see and feel that the house was decorated by a professional interior designer and invited you to feel extremely comfortable in every room. Shopping was possible right accross the street and public transportation to York available and excellent. There was even a morning running route starting right outside the house. To make a long story short - perfect location to explore York and its surroundings! Our biggest thank you to Graham and Jane.
We are from the United States and have family close to Stamford Bridge. The house was amazing. Pictures are accurate and everything was clean upon arrival. Highly Recommend!
A really awesome property, beautifully decorated and the extra touches that the owners go to with the welcome pack is just so lovely. Communication prior to our arrival was excellent, it was immaculately clean and was a great bolt hole for a weekend stay with friends for a wedding - wouldn’t hesitate to stay again if we are ever in the area. The kitchen was superbly equipped too which was very refreshing! Can’t recommend this property enough.

A Luxurious Stay
Overly Satisfied with the Cottage.
Tbh the pictures don’t do it any justice whatsoever, the decor in this place was second to none.
Absolutely stunning.
Quite possibly the best air BnB we have ever used.
Hats off to the owner.
Highly recommended, perfect location.
