The Railmans Cottage was what we had expected however it was a bit impersonal. Other Air BNBs we've stayed included things like fresh tea, coffee and sugar. Even a pint of milk. For nearly £600 for two nights we expected a smidge more comfort. Where as it felt very commercial and something you might find in a chain hotel. The area was quiet and it is walking distance like other reviews say. However, I would offer that to get to York city centre you're looking at 25 to 35 minutes walking. Considering there was obvious cleaning supplies in the house, it felt as though things had been missed. For example very obvious cobwebs and some crockery and glasses needing cleaning before use. Also there was cutlery left in the sink. The big selling point is the bathroom with the four footed tub, rain shower and almost immediately hot water. Everything else was fine.

Good location if you want to be close to the city. Loads of parking in the area too, which was what we were looking for mostly. The townhouse is beautifully designed and decorated, made it feel very home for the two nights we spent there. Since we were there close to Christmas, they put up a Xmas tree which was really nice and cosy. TV could be connected to YouTube casting. Just be careful with the stairs if you have balance or mobility issues. They are very steep, can feel a bit unsafe if going up and down fast. Also the front door does allow people outside to see in if they wanted to. Although it is quiet residential area and something unlikely to happen - this is something to be aware of in case you are concerned about your privacy or safety. Main issue we had was standard of cleaning. There was dust in radiators and ceiling. During our stay there was dirt coming out of shower drain. Hoping this is an issue resolved by the time anyone else stays.

Beautiful, clean, and tidy house in a lovely area, and so close to York city centre, a really nice 20 minute walk along the river. Thank you for such a nice place to stay.

We had a lovely stay! The property was spotless and exactly as pictured. The bed was very comfortable, and we slept well. The walk into the city centre took around 25 minutes and was beautiful along the River Ouse — we were lucky with the weather, which stayed dry and mild throughout our stay. A couple of small points to note: our car’s satnav struggled to find the property due to some local road closures, but the link the host sent us worked perfectly. The Wi-Fi connection was a little intermittent, and the heating was quite noisy when it came on early in the morning. The shower didn’t get very hot, but we enjoyed relaxing baths instead. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and would happily stay again.

The house was ideal for a short stay in York. Parking right outside the door, very quiet neighbourhood and a 15-20 minute walk along a path running adjacent to the River Ouse into town.

The house has been decorated very well and has a modern feel to it inside. Very clean. The only reason we didn’t give top marks was because the duvet cover was too small for the bed, also the shower water was warm at best and not very hot. Host was quick to respond to comms and we had a great time in York. Thank you.

Check in and location was very good, but unfortunately there was issues with accommodation which included general poor house keeping with cleanliness and stains on furnishings including bedding and sofa. We would like to stay again if the current issues were fixed as the area was nice and close to where we wanted to go

The coziness and almost historical portal into an old York families home. exactly what you need for a shirt stay in a city. my only issue was the distance from York city centre. I may have missed something but on the description it said 10 minute walk to city centre. It was more like 40. I don't mind a long walk but my partner wasn't happy which became a daily thing. A lot of Uber was needed. But the stay itself was everything we needed

Loved the Railwayman's cottage - very cute. Perfect for a short stay. Not a fan of the immediate surrounding area. But found a lovely river-walk into town which more than made up for the more direct route (via BR station). Facilities & decoration very good. Thanks for the pleasurable stay. I would fully recommend.

The house was in a peaceful area and we were able to have the windows open at night. Bus service into York good. Service 59 stopped around the corner. Parking was very good we were able to park just a few spaces away from the front door. I would have liked to have known how steep the stairs were…no mention of this in the initial information. There was limited space in the bedroom for clothes to be hung just hangers on pegs. No drawers for jumpers/tshirts/smalls. So they had to be left in our bags or put on chairs. Green and orange grime in the shower which I now see was mentioned in a review back in April but hasn’t been acted on. Cups were right at top of the cupboard!?? Good job my husband could reach them! Very odd as usually near to the kettle and tea/coffee. Did not use garden or front room.

Really enjoyed our stay – the location was super convenient for walking into town - around 25 minutes. The house was clean, tidy, and well-equipped with good amenities. Very comfortable bed. Communication from the host was also really fast & helpful. A few minor issues, the water in the shower didn’t quite get hot enough, very cold downstairs even with underfloor heating on & some DIY bits that needed attention - made parts of the house feel a little worn, but overall we had a good experience and would stay if we were to come back to York

The Railmans house is a warm, comfortable, clean and tidy place. The kitchen is well equipped , but all the cupboards are full and there is very little space to store food. The bed is very comfortable, but there is a lack of wardrobe/ drawers. We had to put our folded jumpers and smalls etc on the chairs in the bedroom. Easy to find and is close to the railway station and the Railway Museum. It is approximately a 20 minute walk into York centre. There is a regular bus service, , the number 59, Park and ride bus. Will recommend The Railmans House to friends and family.

4th time visiting York.. This was a great find in a new location for us. We loved the location and the walk into the city along the river (especially in the sun). The place is lovely, with a few tweaks, I would’ve given this 5* all day long! Despite this, I would recommend and would book again - thank you.

I especially appreciated the little touches like fresh towels, local recommendations. We would absolutely stay here again next time we visit!

This property boasts a modern and clearly recently renovated interior, which was appreciated. The cleanliness was okay. However, there were some noticeable issues that detracted from the stay, including peeling paint in areas and obvious green and orange grime in the shower. The shower didn’t get very warm at all. Although, the bath was lovely and hot. Addressing these maintenance concerns (described previously) would greatly improve the overall experience. The property is 10-15 minutes drive into the centre. The area is quiet which was lovely.

We had found this place in the middle of the trip because according to the listing there should be a washer and dryer - on site then the disappointment; no dryer available - there would probably be a mistake in the description. Regardless, however, it is a very, very clean, tidy and cozy place in a fantastic location! If you don't need a dryer, this is the place to be.

Ok for the price however I feel that I do not have an option with their insurance because the other option is deposit with admin fee. With the insurance I thought it’s gonna be well kept and maintained house but there are obvious wear and tear and damages to the wall. The shower leaks to kitchen wall hence we could not use it the next day. They sent plumber however we were not informed before going out hence we could not leave the key. The back door is broken and can’t open hence the bin is full and even has some bags on the side. Good thing the staff (online & phone) are responsive and friendly.

Walkable location to a lovely city from a nice home, but we left feeling very let down. It took more than 1.5 days to get a response about a possible security issue, there was compulsory damage insurance with details about what we'd paid for held back until we'd paid, and many bulbs needed replacing / fittings were wobbly and needed tightening. For what we paid it didn't seem worth it.

Jamie

This house was great. It is ideal for what I wanted. Everything was clean and tidy. The furnishings were modern and comfortable. The bathroom was a highlight with a roll top bath. It felt like luxurious and spacious even though the house was small. The only real issue I had if at all was parking. Most of the time I could park right outside the house but there was one night where I had to park a little way away but I could still see the car from the bedroom window so that fine. It’s ideally located for the city centre but far enough away that you’re away from the hustle and bustle if you need a bit of quiet. And I thought it was really reasonably priced. I’m definitely going back. It was excellent for a little getaway.

The terrace house was very tidy and organized. Everything was clean and ready to use. There weren’t any shops or eateries nearby that I could tell, but within a 30 minute walk you found everything. The plumbing in the bath was a bit wonky. Flushing the toilet took practice and turning off the faucet and shower completely was a bit of a challenge. But it was a well kept property otherwise and very suitable.

The home was as described with a few extras such as a hairdryer which was not listed. It is a beautiful space and very well firnished nut coukd donwith some upgradesbin regards to the tv. also, there is a coffee machine but no pods available. There is a lovely shower but at our time of visiting there was no available hot water. The very nice bath did manage to appease this. I found the constant emailing and text messages from the host annoying. I feel £50 cleaning fee is excessive when A. you are asked to leave the place clean on the leaving message and B. there was dust and cobwebs throughout the property. We also asked for early check in by one hour but this could not be accommodated because of a cleaning schedule. Overall, the property did what it said on the tin but I wouldn't be in a rush to rebook.

The Railway House was clean and newly renovated. The living area was very small but certainly enough for 2 people. We could not checkin till 4.00pm which I think is rather late. I was very unimpressed with the extra charge of $30 transaction fee I was charged for paying the accidental damage. Very happy to pay the damage bond but not the extra fees.

The place was lovely, great size for a couple and beautifully decorated. Big comfy bed, reliable wifi, lovely bath and shower. It's a little out of the centre: about a 10-15 minute walk which was completely doable for us. There was plenty of free parking outside and everything felt safe and secure. The only small downsides were the TV- very old and glitchy with no facilities for apps like Netflix and the fact that the security deposit is held for 2weeks after leaving the property, this seems so unnecessary.

The place was really nicely decorated and clean and not far from York. The only things are they supply the absolute basics, they left 3 tea bags and coffee sachets and wouldn’t provide anymore so we had to go find a Tesco and get all the essentials which is fine but always think it’s nice when they provide more than enough as it’s not a cheap place to rent. Also the TV is super old and didn’t have any channels on it.

We had a lovely stay at The Railman’s House, it was clean and fresh upon arrival, everywhere was well kept and it was modern and cozy. We walked into York along river path, it took 15 minutes and it was a great location to sightsee, eat and not worry about parking. The only issue we had was that the mattress was very uncomfortable, we informed Host & Stay who swiftly said they will deal with it.

Jay

Does exactly what is mentioned, house is lovely and is great for a weekend away! Really cosy bedroom and has great bath and shower! Living room and kitchen area both really nice too. Just a 20 minute walk to York Centre and 10 to the station. (This is quite a scenic route too with a lovely walk through a park and by the river ouse!) Be aware - Only issue is I had to pay an extra fee of £25 (or a refundable deposit of £250!! in which there is a £10 transaction fee) outside of airbnb to cover damage which I found a bit ridiculous, and annoying that this was not mentioned in the original description especially after already paying quite a substantial cost But despite having to do that I had zero complaints about the house, it was great.

The house was exceptionally clean and tidy with all the essentials for the perfect break. The city centre is walkable in under half an hour and if you didn’t fancy the walk there are numerous bus stops and bus routes that operate really close to the front door! The hosts were quick to answer the phones and allowed us to check in early to dump our bags. Only problem we experienced was extremely loud construction noises coming from next door. Luckily we were out for most of our stay, so it didn’t bother us too much. We did let the host know as I can imagine this would not be ideal for future guests! Overall, we would recommend the place to anyone who fancies a cosy getaway to the beautiful city that is York.

Lovely place done up to a high standard. Loved our stay here and absolutely loved the bath. Great for a couple, cute and cosy and has everything you need. There were a few things that could have made it better such as having a smart tv, the toilet seat is broken and the shower doesn't seem to let out hot water, it's lukewarm weirdly, more on the cold side so definitely one to sort. There was also a plate of eaten grapes left behind I assume by the last guests which wasn't great but overall a good stay. Location is a little far from the city by foot but easy to get to by car.
