Lovley quaint apartment, very centrally located. extremely comfy beds spotlessly clean plenty of towels. Great communication with property manager. Fabulous bistro restaurant next door. Five stars all round
Gorgeous roomy icture perfect comfortable stay in a vintage terrace House Just outside the city walls. Easy to walk to just about everything, shops and train close by
We've had another fabulous break at Minster View. The apartment is so central and has everything we need. The hosts are super communicative and provide lots of thorough information. I can't recommend Minster View enough.
Fantastic little flat over three levels. Unrivalled location, pubs and restaurants at the bottom of the stairs and literally a stones throw from the city wall walk. Great communication with the factor too. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.
A perfect location, a two minute walk to inside the city gate. A lovely and very comfortable stay. Hosts were very easy to deal with . Would highly recommend.
Perfect place to explore York and locations farther afield, as the train station is just minutes away. We took full advantage of this feature for multiple day trips during our stay. Bus lines are also close by.If you’re traveling from the states, you’ll be very comfortable here. We spoke with a British family that was familiar with the place, and stays there on holiday, but that is a longer story lol.The view of York Minster is very cool, and you’re only a few minutes walk away. Many restaurants and pubs right outside your door - Tesco & Sainsbury are also close by.When we return, this is where we will try to stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Minster View. It was convenient to everything we wanted to see in and around the city and had all the comforts we needed.
Lovely apartment with 3 bedrooms in a great location! Close to the Minster and tour buses. The hosts are friendly and helpful. The neighborhood lends itself to a nice vacation!
It couldn't have been better: good sized property in excellent location and very clean and well equipped. All correspondence with property manager was super friendly and helpful. Great!
The property is very comfortable and well equipped and the location is amazing..Loved being able to see the Minster from the back Windows!..Many thanks to the owner and we shall be back.
We loved this home for our stay in York. It is in a great location and had plenty of room for our family. The hosts were also great to work with and went above and beyond to get us the keys for check in and help look for a lost item. Highly recommend this VRBO!

About the host
Hosted by Anna Ward and John Willer
We both have long links with Yorkshire. Anna was born in Hull and John has run marathons over pretty much all of it. We keep up our connection by spending some time every year here at Minster View in York. We really enjoy strolling round the city, we get to go to the arts cinema on the river on a near daily basis and we top up our marmite supplies. (If you're puzzled by the last point it's because we live in Granada in Spain the rest of the year.) For us, spending time between Granada and York is pretty much perfect - and we know how lucky we are...
Why they chose this property
York is a great city for strolling, with everything easily accessible within a few minutes walk. We really like the fact it has so much history and the whole area within the city walls is full of boutique shops and people just generally having a good time. Because we are right in the centre we can pop out, have a look around, and then nip back for a cup of tea….. Perfect. We also enjoy the wide range of restaurants, pubs and cafes nearby and Gillygate has some great indie shops. Walking in the nearby Botanic gardens and along the river is always a pleasure.
What makes this property unique
What we love about Minster View is pretty much summed up in the name! We have views of York Minster from all of the rooms at the back of the house, at least in winter when there are less leaves. I particularly like looking at the Minster when doing the washing up. (Don't worry - we also have a dishwasher.) We also enjoy people watching on Gillygate from the large bay window in the first floor sitting room. We love that it is so central and that it is a Georgian property with lots of character.
