About this property

Gorgeous one bedroom house situated in the historic Bishophill area of York, just minutes from the centre of York.

Upstairs is a bright airy bedroom, with a high quality Silentnight kingsize bed, plenty of storage with vintage furniture and a built in wardrobe. The property is suitable for two adults and two children with extra camp beds/and or a travel cot can be provided on request,
The property is new to the market and has had a complete refurbishment.

Outside is a secure covered yard that is perfect for storing bikes and buggies. On street permit parking is also available on request.

The property is located within the city walls and is a few minutes walk from the city centre with all its attractions, restaurants and shops; it is only 0.6 miles from the railway station so is perfect for those arriving by train. York is a cycle city and the property is perfectly placed as a base for a cycling holiday in Yorkshire with easy access to local cycle routes, avoiding main roads. The house is also a comfortable walking distance (1.1 miles) from the racecourse, shuttle buses also run from the station on race days. The central location means it is also conveniently situated for visiting both of York's universities.

The house is just a 5 minute walk from the Shakespeare Rose Theatre that is visiting York this summer.

Excellent Property & Location

We recently stayed at the Property over a weekend. Location of the key was simple and inside the house was well kept. The bed was comfortable and everything was clean. We did have an issue with the Shower but the Owners were extremely responsive and resolved it very quickly. A credit to the service they were providing. The location was extremely good situated extremely close to the City Walls for a quick wander, or if that isn't your thing, then very quick to get into the centre of town. Parking was never an issue and with a community Pub at the end of the street, what else is there to look for!!

Decemebr Weekend Visit

Hi read all the previous reviews and hoped they were accurate. Need not have worried Lisa and the place were all spot on. Checking in easy and although the place is small it was perfect for the two of us. Warm and clean and great location for a 10 minute walk into the centre. Milk in the fridge, coffee, tea and biscuits already there. Many thank for the use of the house highly recommended.

Cosy home from home

The house is in an excellent location in a beautiful city - close enough to walk to all the attractions but far enough away to enjoy a quiet night's sleep! I would definitely recommend this accommodation.

Wedding in York

The property was as describe. We were not in the premises very long and did not use any of the appliances. The shower lacks pressure but a minor complaint. A microwave would be a useful addition.

Family break

Great. Prior to booking-owner was very helpful, providing additional information about her property. Location : quiet, easy to find from the station. Enjoyable walk along the walls into the town centre. Facilities: thoughtful! Kitchen/cooking: great having basic cleaning products provided so no need to go out and buy dishwash liquid etc. Welcome pack was enjoyed by all :) Bathroom etc: unusual and welcome bonus of being provided with soap/shampoo.. Entertainment.. plenty to do in York, but noticed there were games etc, should people just want time to chill out! This was a first trial of using homeaway self catering, and certainly a great experience-so much easier to self cater when breaking a long journey.

Wonderful situation in lovely city.

York is a lovely, characterful, city with endless things to see and a magnificent part of our heritage. Lisa's property is situated within the old city walls and wonderfully situated to allow seeing all of the sights conveniently by foot - including visiting many by walking around the marvelously preserved city walls. The house/apartment is spotlessly clean, comfortable, equipped with everything that you could need and Lisa has added small but thoughtful touches such as leaving small snacks, milk, tea and coffee for her guests - not to mention things like cling-film to wrap sandwiches. I can not recommend either York or Lisa's accommodation highly enough and hope very much to return there.

Like coming home

Arriving at Lisa's flat was like arriving at the home of a long known friend who had prepared everything just-so for us. Lisa was responsive, helpful, friendly with every detail of our stay, from beginning to end. The flat is perfectly located, clean, well kept. I highly recommend staying here.

Lovely little holiday home

We booked 2 nights for ourselves and our little girl. It's a lovely little home and the hospitality box was a nice little touch. Perfect location as everything is within walking distance. It is in a lovely quiet area and our little girl loved it.

A gem of a holiday home

We enjoyed a lovely holiday in this fabulous holiday home. It really is a home from home with everything you could need for a wonderful stay. Fabulous location, walking distance to all the major attractions York has to offer. Clean, comfortable and we appreciated the basket of goodies in the kitchen and Easter eggs on our kids’ beds. Lisa, is a wonderful owner who provides a first class holiday home in York.
