We loved our stay in York and this townhouse made everything very easy. Close to absolutely everything! We didn’t use our car the entire time we were there. Easy walk to the shambles, York minster, Clifford’s Tower and sooo many pubs and restaurants!
The location was great, house comfortable and parking good. But honestly the place needs a good scrubbing. There is an ant problem in the kitchen and a bad smell under the sink.
With the city wall close to everything. Townhouse had everything you needed. So close to city centre.Great little place quite.Would stay again. Recommend a 100%
Overall, a decent spot for a family to stay in York. Great location and quiet neighborhood. Easy to walk everywhere. The property manager was very flexible in allowing us to drop luggage off so we didn’t have to carry it around all afternoon and was very responsive. It might not be the most updated apartment, but other qualities win out. Would stay here again.
Great location for city centre.Quiet part of townProperty has a nice layout with bits you need for a weekend stay.Parking for 1 car outside the house. Would definitely recommend

The overall property was fine , the wardrobe in the main bedroom was full of junk , the second bedroom wardrobe shelf had no base to it . The parking is tight if you had a large car you wouldn’t have parked.No terrestrial TVThe washing machine had mould in it.Looked in the drawers for a game found everything just thrown in it all muddled up, my wife tidied it no 10 of spades Shower cords need lengthening Towels were worn and small we purchased new ones Other than that we had a nice time
We have stayed here twice now and will definitely be staying again. We all love York anyway and Bishop's court makes it feel like home. So comfortable and cosy 👍❤
This property could not have been more conveniently located for enjoying all the sites of York. We stayed here 10 days and the property was very clean and well-equipped. Owners very responsive and helpful—we would definitely stay here again.
Absolutely brilliant location and lovely cosy, comfortable modern home. We all loved staying here, the kids loved their room and their own sofa to sit on ❤💙 Very comfortable to come back too after a cold walk around the shambles.
Lovely house good facilities but a bit chiily in the evenings as there was only 1 storage heater for kitchen and lounge There was a fire but didn't blow out hot air unless we were doing something wrong. Overall excellent would recommend to other parties
Loved this property. Though central, it was a very quiet street, and we all slept well. Beds were comfortable, rooms clean and we felt very much at home. Thank you so much Simon and Elisha. Highly recommend this place 🤗👌
A lovely place in the heart of York. Secure parking a definite bonus. Very convenient and comfortable. The owners were great in responding to any requests we had.
Would definitely recommend to friends planning a trip to York.
The property was clean and comfortable and within walking distance of both the city centre and the racecourse. It had everything we needed for our stay. The host was contactable and responded swiftly to any questions. We would definitely look at rebooking if we visit York again in the future. Parking on site was definitely a bonus.
House was exactly as in photos on website. It was clean and tidy with car space right outside the front door. 10 mins walk into centre. Lots of restaurants close by to choose from.
We enjoyed our 5 day stay in this property visiting the sites of York and catching up with our son who is at university there. It is in a fantastic central location, walking distance from the station and all main attractions and restaurants. It was comfortable, well equipped and clean. We would recommend it to friends and family wanting to visit York.
We feel truly lucky to have stayed in such a wonderful place. It was just perfect for the two of us. The welcome package was perfect with tea, coffee, sugar, washing up soap, tea towels. The kettle and toaster worked well and we found everything we needed in the kitchen. The location was amazing—such a quick walk to downtown and close to everything that we wanted to do during our stay.

Good place at 5 minutes to the attractions
Thank you for the attention. Good dialogue with the proprietary. Very good house with parking.
Great location. Quiet. Close to everything. For your information, if you are stair-challenged, there are 3 stairs up from kitchen to living room and another 14 up to 2 bedrooms and 1 toilet upstairs. There is a separate shower with very hot water and plenty of pressure. Beds are 1 double and 2 twins. Very cozy and comfortable and would stay here again. We stayed a week in York. lots to see with day trips. So many pubs and restaurants!
