About this property

A premium stay that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

26a Marygate is part of the conversion of the former York Post Office Club and has been beautifully done. This part of the building has just three two bedroom apartments, each one finished to an extremely high standard. The building is situated off Bootham on a quiet street, facing the historic ruins of St Mary's Abbey. First built in 1088 it is all that remains of one of the wealthiest and most powerful Benedictine monasteries in England.

Garden View Apartment - is situated on the second floor of the building. As it is situated at the top of the building you have a birds eye view of Museum gardens and the Abbey Ruins. The huge arched windows ensure that the apartment is flooded with light. The refurbishment hasn't encroached on the magnificence of the windows, and the light airy feeling is continued through the apartment with the high ceilings and light wood floors. The designer has furnished the apartment with an eye on both the comfort and enjoyment of the guest. The Living area has a striking dining table with more than enough space for everyone to sit down together. The kitchen is fully fitted with everything that you could possibly need and there is still space left over for you to store your holiday treats! There is a separate laundry room set just inside the front door, housing a washer/dryer and plenty of storage.

The lounge area has comfortable, stylish seating and a large smart TV for those times when you just want to stay inside and just kick back and relax.

There are two bedrooms in the apartment, the master bedroom has a super kingsize bed that can be made up as a super king or two single beds, just great for sinking into and recharging for the next day. There are fitted wardrobes that run the length of the bedroom, more than enough space to fit all the outfits that you want to bring with you for the numerous events that York has to offer. There is also a luxurious en suite, complete with a bath with shower over, double sinks and underfloor heating.

The second bedroom again has wall to wall storage and a wonderful double bed to sink into at the end of a very busy day of fun! The house bathroom serves this bedroom and has a walk in shower, again with underfloor heating.

There is dedicated onsite parking for the apartment.

This stunning apartment is light, bright and incredibly stylish! Whether you are looking for a short holiday break, or a longer serviced let this apartment has everything that you need, coupled with an abundance of STYLE!

5*
This beautiful apartment is top notch. We stayed as a family of 4 for two nights and we wished we could have stayed longer. We had everything we needed and more, including a washing machine, iron/ironing board as well as a hair dryer in both bedrooms. The apartment is beautifully decorated and extremely spacious. Our daughters did not want to leave. Special thanks to Chris Saunders for recommending this gem of an apartment. We're looking forward to visiting again next year.

Lovely apartment
Lovely contemporary apartment in an old building. Fabulous location. Our only negative is that it is too warm. Only one window opens so it was too difficult to keep cool even though fans were provided.

Garden View Apartment York
Spacious, bright, and comfortable apartment. Excellent location facing York Gardens. Very good quality decoration. Well equipped. Everything impeccable. Perhaps the only criticism I could make is that you can't open the windows (except in the second bedroom). Otherwise, excellent and highly recommendable.

Plush central York apartment with it's own parking onsite.
A fantastic top floor apartment just a short walk from the Minster and the city walls. Everything is close by and to have parking in the mews behind makes this an excellent choice. A smart modernisation of an old building; big rooms with high ceilings tastefully decorated with shutters, wall to wall wardrobe space, a full kitchen with an island and a laundry room. Very comfortable for 4 and a very high standard; much better value than York hotels.

York Experience
Our family of initially 3 arrived in York in September 2022 and if we liked the city we could stay for six months, we set ourselves the following three tasks: Task 1: Find Accommodation - a friend recommended Stays York and Amanda (Manager) listened to our needs and immediately knew we would like this apartment, its ambiance, it’s furnishing & appliances and location. ✅ Task 2: Find School and OBYE (pregnant wife) - Bootham Junior School (1.25 mile walk) accepted our son and we chose to have our second baby in London ✅ Task 3: Settle In & Enjoy York - when you wake up in a comfortable bed with fresh sheets & perfect pillows, have a great shower with fluffy towels and a cup of freshly ground coffee in a new kitchen the day is off to a good start. Walk my son to/from school, cardio work out 50 minutes, pick up Financial Times on way back at Sainsbury (100m from apartment) and walk 20m further to North South Cafe on Bootham Road, read paper have a cappuccino do a few emails all before 10:00am. Next walk into the centre of York (10 minutes) to Shambles Market and go see my friends at Swains Butcher (wonderfully terrific lamb, free range eggs, sausages, chicken, pork chops etc), the fish and cheese mongers next door and fruit veggie stall and decide what to have for dinner, pick up further necessities at M&S (2 minutes further) and return home through the Museum Gardens, home by 11:00am. Sitting at the big table in the open plan living, dining & kitchen area with sunshine coming through the oversized windows and high ceilings overlooking the garden while using the excellent and individual apartment secured/dedicated wifi, it’s very easy to be productive & creative and crank out emails and do a few call. Noonish start thinking about lunch almost always decide to heat up last nights leftovers either in the brand spanking new microwave or oven. Back to work, sometimes walk to Museum Garden to do emails, wifi works well there when in sight line of Apartment and at around 3:00pm walk to pick up my son from school back home by 4:00pm. Circa 5:00pm head to the Establishment on Bootham (150m from Apartment) order a pint from Carla (head barkeep) sit in their huge beer garden log onto their wifi do conference call to Canada/US (I know, very lucky and thank goodness for the mute function, video off). It’s 6:00pm and time to go to Minister Inn at 24 Marygate, conveniently 20m from the Apartment, say hello to Josh & Liam (barkeep/raconteur and best pizza chef in the universe respectively) have another pint and home by 7:00pm. Help with dinner, mash the potatoes, salad preparation and sort the dessert (often from Betty’s Cafe; Yorkshire tea fruit cake or vanilla slice with ice cream). Relax watch some TV, read stories with son and sleep and repeat for next few months. Time was flying to fast and with the changing seasons; Christmas was on the horizon, my wife almost 8 months pregnant and our family engrained into a terrific daily York routine and being considered an almost “local” at two watering holes, it was time to invited my in-laws from Canada to come and stay in the Museum Apartment below, my sister and niece from London as well as my wife’s uncle. York was to good to keep to our family of 3, we needed to share this oasis of Yorkshire with our loved ones. They as well have fallen for York. But unfortunately our time in York has come to an end and it’s back to Canada we must go with a newborn son, our family is now 4, great memories and new friends. It has been an A+ experience in York commencing with Stays York recommendation, the Apartment is top notch, karma is especially good for creative people, location superb and York has so much to offer and if you have the opportunity to stay for awhile give yourself a treat. If you come to York say hello to my friends at the Minster Inn (best little pub and pizza ever), the Establishment (best beer garden) Stays York (world class service) G’s Barber (on Bootham across from North South Cafe), Raj’s Indian Restaurant (next to the Establishment), Blake’s Fish n Chips (near Shambles Market), North South Cafe, Swains Butchers, Star Inn Restaurant (especially Sunday Roast), Roots Restaurant (romantic night out) and visit the many sites and attractions. We plan to be back in summer this year and if are plans come to fruition we will be staying here. All the best David
