Minster View is an elegant Georgian townhouse superbly located in a conservation area adjacent to the city walls at Bootham Bar and only 2 minutes walk from York Minster and York's bustling city centre with its many places of interest, cafes, restaurants and boutique shops.
It consists of 3 floors of a 4 storey 18th century townhouse. (The ground floor is a chiropractors and totally quiet). All windows have views of the Minster (leaves on the trees permitting) or Gillygate. The rooms are elegantly proportioned with high ceilings and original doors and mouldings.

Ideally located to visit York Minster and the city
The property is exactly as advertised. It is a 2 minute walk to York Minster which makes it a great base from which to explore the city. Hosts are great communicators I would recommend it to anyone who is able to handle stairs.

Lovely place
Great property, fully equipped and central to York. It was very noisy so we’d recommend earplugs but that’s to be expected in the centre of a city. We’d definitely stay again.

Brilliant apartment in the heart of York
This was our second stay at Minster View, it's our favourite place to stay in York! The apartment has everything you need and is clean and comfortable. It's so central - getting around by foot is so easy - it was the perfect base. Communication and check-in was spot on, with quick response times and a straightforward procedure.

About the host

Hosted by Anna Ward and John Willer

Host profile image
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.
