About this property
8 Rowntree House - sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom
This delightful apartment is nestled within a Grade II listed building that has been thoughtfully renovated, maintaining the charm and integrity of its original features.
As the birthplace of Joseph Rowntree, the building is enriched with vintage photographs and artifacts that provide a fascinating glimpse into its history.
Perfectly located just across from 'The Shambles,' you're right in the heart of the city's attractions, yet the apartment offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle, providing a serene atmosphere away from street noise.
The apartment itself is located on the third floor of the building. The hallway leads into a kitchen, lounge, and dining area. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the modern conveniences you'd expect, including a dishwasher, fridge-freezer, Nespresso machine, and washer/dryer. A dining table seats up to four for meals.
The lounge is partially separated off by a partition wall features a sofa that converts into a bed, ideal for accommodating an extra guest if needed.
The master bedroom is tastefully designed with a double bed, a wardrobe, and bedside tables for added convenience. The spacious bathroom boasts a freestanding, walk-in shower and a separate bath.
While there is no parking at the apartment itself, paid parking is available just a few minutes' walk away. Please enquire for details.

Such an amazing location, and for being so central we weren't disturbed in our sleep at all! The view of the church tower from the bath was a real bonus. When we stayed we did have a wee issue with the blinds not all responding to the controller, and when we folded the sofa-bed out it was clear it hadn't been hoovered as thoroughly as it could have been BUT overall we really enjoyed our stay and loved being so close to all the fun things York has to offer!

Great stay in York
Lovely apartment woth everything you need except a big enough bed for 2 The bed are really too, too small for 2 adults. Recommend to have that changed. I can only recommend booking this aparment if the bed are changed. The tv was also broken with a flimmering steipe across the screen. Other than that, I cannot come up with anything negative.

Hello,
Thank you so much for taking time to leave a review, we really appreciate it.
I am sorry you found the beds too small, however they were chosen as the size of them best fits the room itself. Thank you for mentioning it, though.
We have also now replaced the TV, thank you for informing us of the issue.
Kind regards,
Stays York

Great location
This flat has a great location centre of York
Flat was decorated to high standard
Only faults was all the stairs to climb 70 steps to this flat. The lane it was situated on attracted homeless people who sat on the door step daily
The television reception was very bad it flickered constantly
