In the centre of the room you will find a dining table and chairs, perfect for two.

From the kitchen, you can head straight outside to the ‘yarden’. Sit back and relax in this lovely south-facing area which features decking, two seating areas, and three raised flower beds. The garden features festoon lights which create a romantic atmosphere in the evening.

Had a lovely short stay in York! Place was as listed with amenities. A little walk into the city centre but good to stretch your legs. Be mindful the place is double story and the stairs are very steep!

+ Very proactive hosts and lovely little house. + Comfortable bed and sofa. + TV better than the one showed in the photos. = Hair dryer is included despite page saying it wasn't. - Amenities not entirely thought out on our trip, half finished soap and toilet paper roll without replacements.

We enjoyed a few nights stay whilst visiting york. House was small and cosy and clean and had everything we needed. Nice decor. Comfy bed and sofa. Lovely spacious bathroom with roll top bath and shower . Small yard. About 20 mins walk to the centre but we took an uber. Managed to park in nearby street. Got the key code the day of arrival. Had the choice to pay the damages waiver. Would recommend .
