About this property

Historic House in the Heart of the City Centre - sleeps 7 guests in 3 bedrooms

Surrounded by 2000 years of history this superb 5 star holiday home is located within the city walls and has to be one of the most marvellous locations in York. There are a huge choice of restaurants and bars within short walking distance. There are also a big range of takeaways very close by. The property has been re-designed and refurbished offering a beautiful, modern and welcoming 5 star interior, giving guests incredibly high standards of accommodation with 3 sumptuous bedrooms. The house is just a few minutes' walk from the city centre down Walmgate where there is a huge choice of restaurants, bars, shops and delis.
A completely stunning property and a stunning location.

The property is beautifully furnished throughout, offering excellent sleeping accommodation in three sumptuous bedrooms. The property can accommodate up to 7 guests extremely comfortably, with lots of space.

Through the entrance hall the property opens up into a stunning open plan living room and spacious dining area seating 7 guests to sit and enjoy and meal and drinks together. There is a Smart TV, to sit and watch in front of the cosy fire, we provide free wi-fi throughout the property.

The fully equipped, kitchen is separate from the living area and has everything you will need for your stay, oven, hob, microwave, washing machine and a full size fridge freezer , it offers everything you could need during your stay.
There are also plenty of pans, utensils and crockery so you can make your own meals.

Off the kitchen is the convenience of a downstairs bathroom with shower over the bath.

Heading upstairs The main bedroom offers a luxuriously comfortable super king sized bed that can be split into singles if required, hanging rail, and a small double futon sofa bed, The second bedroom has a superbly comfortable double bed. We have top hotel quality fluffy towels, 100% cool crisp cotton sheets and sumptuous pocket sprung mattresses to make for a great nights sleep.

The master bathroom has a fantastic walk in shower.

Heading up to the top floor you will find a double bedroom with a stunning en-suite with a walk in shower.


This really is a stunning, high class and superb holiday property offering guests one of the best locations to stay, and from which to explore the city.

There are a huge choice of restaurants and bars within short walking distance. There are also a big range of takeaways very close by.

Because we are so central there is no parking on site, however Peel street car park is a few minutes walk away and can be used.

Regrettably out of respect for our neighbours we cannot accept bookings from Stag and Hen parties as we are in a quiet residential part of the city.

8/10 Good

Historic House

Excellent location for a stay in York. A few recommendations that the property needs to bring it up to a good standard. Overall the cleanliness was acceptable, however there were quite a few cobwebs hanging from the ceiling and the skirting boards and window frames needed cleaned. The walls could do with a paint refresh as some of them were scraped and dirty.

Weekend away with friends

Clean, comfortable and convenient. House was well furnished and had everything we needed. Location was great, and the parking permit was a bonus. Slight wobble with the bed configuration on arrival, but this was quickly rectified. Customer service and communication was excellent through the process. (Thank you Claire).

The terraced house was a short walk to town and had restaurants, shops and grocery stores nearby. Lots of room to spread out. Dining area was large and accommodating for eating and games. Perfect for my kids and small grandkids.

Great place, cannot wait to come back.

We will be coming back to this property and highly recommend to others. It was stunning throughout. Really spacious and very well equipped. It had everything we needed. Parking was on street provided for one car, this was handy as parking in York is pretty expensive otherwise. Walking distance to the city centre was less than 10 minutes and there was some lovely restauraunts on the way in.

Perfectly located house

Perfectly located house, to walk the city and experience all the delicious foodie places. We were 4 women on a relaxing city break weekend and it was ideal. Had the fire on, on Saturday evening and cosy night in after a day walking the city and eating in yummy places, this house was perfect for us
