Situated in a quiet residential area just 8-10 minutes walk away (we have timed it!) from the historic city of York, the house could not be in a better location. From just round the corner of the house you can take a walk by the river Ouse, over Skeldergate bridge and you will be in the city in no time at all. The beauty of this location is that it offers you easy access to all of the city's attractions as well as having a quiet retreat to return to at the end of the day. Being slightly away from the city centre, there is no passing traffic near the house so we can guarantee you a good nights sleep during your stay so you can recharge your batteries for the following day!
Bishopthorpe Road is just at the top of the street - winner of "The Best British High Street 2015" award. On this charming street you will find pubs serving traditional ales, coffee shops, restaurants, bakers, grocery stores, deli's and takeaways as well as specialist shops.
If you are travelling as a family you will appreciate beautiful Rowntree Park which is only a 5 minute walk away. Here you will find plenty to keep the children entertained including 2 play areas, basketball courts, duck pond, skate park, tennis courts and the lovely Rowntree Park Reading Café.

As always our stay was amazing, despite the heat! The house was immaculate, this and the proximity to York centre and Bishy Rd bring us back here every year. And thank you for the fans, they were a life saver!
The location is superb. We could walk to all the sites. Less than 1/2 mile from the train station. The home was spotless and modern. We loved it. We plan to book this home again for next year.
Thank you for choosing my place for your stay in York. I'm so glad you liked the house and fabulous location. I hope to welcome you back again one day :-)

Car parking a bonus

Fantastic holiday home
We had a fantastic stay. The house was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Two parking spaces was a luxury but we didn't need to drive as York was in easy walking distance. We can't wait to visit again.

It was perfect for exploring York and the Yorkshire moors. The location was convenient to the city sights, shopping, restaurants, and the train station. The rooms were bright and cheery, clean and well-appointed. I would definitely return.

Perfect location - lovely home
The house was perfectly located near all attractions and restaurants while still being in a quiet neighborhood. We loved walking up for coffee on 'Bishy' road before starting our day touring.
The house is beautifully appointed and very comfortable!

Thank you for your lovely comments. I'm delighted you enjoyed your stay and liked the house. We really love the location too. I hope to welcome you back again one day :-)
The house is beautifully presented, immaculately clean and has a very welcome chilled bottle of wine waiting for the guests in the fridge ( along with 2 pints of milk which is always handy).
Being so close to the city centre and with free parking is a huge asset.
Property was re-furbished to a high standard. Had to contact owner and received immediate response. Location was ideal for city centre. Parking was a bonus.
This property is amazing and for anyone visiting York a perfect base. Right from the start of booking the owner was extremely helpful and flexible. The location is best of both worlds, Close to the centre but Bishy Road is a gem in itself you wouldnt necessarily come across. The house itself was beautiful with lots of lovely touches and very well stocked. We had an amazing time in this property and will definitely be visiting again. I couldnt recommend more!

About the host
Hosted by C Stothard
We are a family with two children aged 13 and 11. We have had the absolute pleasure of spending many weekends in York between 2015 and 2017 and we are delighted to be offering our much loved home to guests looking for a break in this wonderful city.
Why they chose this property
Our home is suited to families or couples who like a quiet location within easy reach of all the main attractions. We have Bishopthorpe Road just a moments walk away, Rowntree Park and the river Ouse just around the corner and York city centre 8-10 minutes walk away. We just adore this location and we are sure our guests will too!
What makes this property unique
Quiet, but close to all that York has to offer - It's all about location, location, location! (and parking!! Not easy to find in York!)
