Quiet neighborhood, close to the city center. The host was very responsive to our needs. The beds were a little hard for my aching back. But I’m an also accustomed to a soft bed.

Christmas in York

What an AMAZING property! Conveniently located to City Centre, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a home away from home. Beth is a wonderful host and her communication with us about a delayed check in (due to inclement weather) was spot on. My family and I HIGHLY recommend Beth’s property to anyone looking for a great experience.

Great house and location

Lovely property - comfortable, nice decor, clean and very well equipped. The VRBO description of bathrooms is not accurate though - it says that there are 2 bathrooms with a shower only (one en suite on ground floor, one family bathroom on first floor) plus a separate toilet. The main bathroom has a shower and bath but no toilet ie property has 2 toilets and not 3. Not a problem for our party of 4 but might be a bit of an issue if there were 8 people staying.

About the host

Hosted by Beth Thornton

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Beth! I own a small collection of holiday homes in York, Robin Hood's Bay and Whitby, and I am completely passionate about them, and the enjoyment of my guests.
My family and I live in the countryside outside York and we have a dog called Tigger and three ducks, Genevieve, Duckie and Nugget. We are all happiest in the outdoors, particularly my rugby playing children, and we all love chocolate!

Why they chose this property

This property has been refurbished to a very high standard and is inviting, homely and comfortable. Whilst being centrally located, it lies on a quiet, residential road away from the hustle and bustle. A really tranquil, relaxing escape from the city!
The house ticks all boxes, it is well proportioned and spacious with open plan sitting/dining room, four large bedrooms, 3 with king beds and one with twins, two and a half bathrooms - no queuing for the loo! One bedroom with king size bed and en-suite shower room is on the ground floor - ideal for guests with mobility issues! There is a beautiful south facing patio, ideal for sunny breakfasts or lunch and pre dinner drinks. It has an on street parking permit - guests can always park on our street. We have various options for additional cars. Sorry no pets.

What makes this property unique

This townhouse has it all! Large high end and spacious living accommodation, south facing patio and on street parking just outside. One of the bedrooms with king size bed and en-suite shower room is on the ground floor - ideal for guests with mobility issues!
It's a short 10 minute walk to York Minster, yet tucked away in a peaceful location. A real box ticker!
