Beautiful, clean, modern accommodation. Surrounded by beautiful countryside but just a short drive into York city centre, it has everything you need. Tracey and Guy are very welcoming and accommodating.
The location is perfect for a family trip to York. Being within easy walking distance of the station and all major central historical attractions, yet in a quiet residential area, was ideal. The kitchen was well-equipped for a short-term rental and the bedrooms very comfy. The view of the city walls from the lounge was lovely. Only small suggestions I would make are 1. provide a cafetiere or electric coffee maker; 2. provide a broom and dustpan and/or fix the hoover, which did not work well.
Absolutely stunning little apartment in York. It is beautifully kept, has a calm feel and very welcoming. It’s little but so well equipped, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The bed was super comfy, the shower perfect, and having Costa coffee pods and tea provided was a lovely touch. A real gem, would definitely recommend!
Great location and lovely apartment! Facilities in the apartment were great (although the shower was little on the small side). Great price and would stay here again
The cottage was perfect for our trip to York and the hot tub was an added bonus!! It had everything we needed for our visit to York, was an easy walk into the city centre and we will look to stay here again!
Very comfortable place, close to city center and have a car parking space just close to the property . Perfect place to relax and enjoy the York Shambles and the Christmas Market.
This was an amazing property, the warmth and welcoming from Graham was most appreciated. A little difficulty finding it in the dark but we did get there. Such generosity and fabulous welcome pack of goodies to eat, small gestures around the area of gifts and sweets. Locality so convenient for public transport and locality of hostelries, restaurants, shops all on the doorstop. Plenty of places to eat or get take aways and even a pub next door. You will be so pleased you picked this property when you stay and will want to return. Owners Graham and Jane live local and nothing is too much t...more
We stayed at The Siding for 8 weeks, and we were very comfortable. I was a bit worried that we might hear the trains, but we didn't. They are using the next door lot for staging for the station construction, but also not a problem. There was an inconsistency in the listing, but when I reached out to Stays, they were responsive and we came up with a solution. We were there in the winter so had very little need to open the window, which is close to the street and cars were often parked about a meter away. Sometimes they idled, or played loud music, so I can see how that would be a problem ...more
We had a great time in the property, It's is brilliant location, and nicely done out property. The only thing that was missing was a dishwasher, We will definitely stay again
The building is located pretty centrally, near the river and within walking distance to all shops and amenities. The apartment is on the top floor, there is no lift, so if you have heavy luggage, you might think about how to get it up there. The checking in was super easy, same with checking out. The apartment was very quiet, clean, warm, modern, lots of light. The bathroom was clean also. The kitchen has an electric cooker, microwave and lots of cooking equipment. The photos are representative of the flat. Would stay again.
Very comfortable, lovely light apartment. Well equipped and pleasantly warm. Lively central location with great views of the city and Minster.
Beautiful place, lovely extras. My only constructive criticism, is to be made aware prior the rules for the dogs. Thanks for a beautiful stay.
A perfect little hideaway for visiting York. Every little detail had been thought of to make our stay a proper treat
The Parlour at Brecks is a lovely property. The perfect stay for the two of us and our little dog. Clean and tidy nice welcome goodies for humans and doggies. The outside is also very clean and beautiful. Close to the city of York very easy tp visit our daughter who lives in the city. We were here during a heatwave the weather was glorious. Very enjoyable stay.
Super cottage & location. We had a lovely 4 night break at Well Cottage. Beautiful cottage with high quality fixtures & fittings. Everything you need for cooking - utensils, pots, pans etc A welcome pack of fresh farm eggs, bread, milk, butter, jam, tea, coffee, etc Farm setting, fun to watch the sheep & have a little stroll to the duck pond. Only 10 mins from York city centre. Love the availability to book any start dates & for as long as you want. Thank you for a lovely stay & well done to owners Guy & Tracey. We will definitely be back
The property was absolutely gorgeous we all loved it. Very nicely appointed and great location to the centre of York. Nice welcoming pub 2 doors away.
We had a brilliant stay at 3 Clementhorpe Maltings. Plenty of room, really clean and in a great location in York centre. Kids loved the pool table!
Such a cute flat in a lovely area of York. The street is really quiet for being so central and less than 10 min walk to the train station. As mentioned is up 3 flight of stairs which may be an issue for some, but I quite enjoyed that. If anything, I felt like in a cocoon (the height restriction in the bathroom not so much, but it is well designed and protected so that one doesn't get hurt). For the same reason, gets really hot when sunny or very warm, which again may be an issue for some, but I loved it, didn't even need to use the fan available. It has everything you may need even for lon...more
We stayed at Cow Kennels for a long weekend. The accommodation was excellent, as was the location. Great place for the dog, with plenty of options to walk locally. Very close to and easy to access York. Guy and Tracey were fabulous hosts; their personal touch made such a difference.
What a refreshing change to find an accommodation with no negatives! The apartment was scrupulously clean and very well appointed. The bed was comfortable, the shower was superb, hot and powerful and the welcome pack was indeed very welcome, thank you The surroundings were very quiet with lots of greenery and trees but within flat, easy walking distance to the city. The kitchen contained everything you would need and to have a washer dryer was a real bonus so we could do our washing the night before we left. Bliss All in all I wouldn't hesitate in recommending 6 St. John's Mews as a base ...more
Lovely, spacious apartment, comfy bed, nicely furnished with everything you need provided. Loved gazing out the windows watching the river and activity! Clear and easy instructions. Would definitely return.
We were in York for a couple of days for an event, and wanted somewhere close to the city centre with parking. This property is only a few minutes walk to Monkgate, so handy for everything. Parking was secure and the apartment was really quiet and peaceful, as it doesn’t overlook the road. It had everything we needed and was pretty spacious for the two of us. We really liked it.
We recently stayed here for three nights, and this was our second visit to this lovely accommodation. There were four of us, and we were all very comfortable — the bedrooms are spacious, the bathroom is excellent, and the kitchen has everything you need. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the city centre, with convenient parking right out front. The house is beautifully decorated, and we especially loved the festive touches during our stay. Another fantastic experience — we’d happily return again! ✨
Everything you need in this apartment! Very spacious + beautifully finished. Handy for shops, bars and resturaunts. 15mins walk from train station. Spotless clean. Would return.
This apartment is centrally located within walking distance of everything. The interiors are stunning and very comfortable with underfloor heating, big wide screen smart TVs, modern kitchen with all amenities, comfortable sofa and dining areas. The beds are very comfortable and bathrooms are very user friendly with a big bathroom with 2 basins and another big bathroom plus another extra toilet and wash basin. The views were lovely. The photos don’t do it justice as the place looks smaller in the photos than it actually is. It was perfect for a family of 4, but would also work well for 4 adults...more
The property is excellent with everything you need. Varing choice of bedrooms with most having good sized en-suites, only the loft bedroom did not have anything but could access one of the bedrooms facilities without accessing the actual bedroom. The only downside we found was accessing the parking space but once parked the city was accessible without needing to move the car much.
Lovely cottage, very cleverly restored. Good location. Lovely welcome pack. Would recommend. Thank you.
Lovely apartment very cosy and spotless in a great location in the heart of York and everything is in walking distance had a fantastic weekend and will definitely be booking again the only downside was that it’s only means of cooking was a microwave would have been good to have a toaster as well so could have made breakfast but other than that was brilliant
A very clean, modern apartment in a great location. Would definitely stay again. Its only a short walk into town but a bus stop is just outside the apartment.
Fantastic, comfortable apartment a five minute walk to the city centre and close to all the main attractions in York. The apartment is really cosy and has everything you may need for a break away, especially the comfy beds. The fact that the property comes with a secure parking space was a huge plus. The staff in the main foyer were also really friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back.
We have stayed in 304 earlier in the year and loved. A few tweaks have happened, settee from bedroom now in lounge. I personally did not find a good move. However would not stop me recommending or returning. So convenient for everything you could possibly wish to do on foot. We were even allowed a late check out which was really appreciated.
Such a characterful little cottage and a wonderful location, walkable to everywhere in the city centre and only five minutes to the Minster. It was great to be able to shop and cook for myself (Tesco Express only a few minutes' walk away) so I didn't have to spend a lot on eating out, and I had somewhere to come back to and relax late afternoon after a full day of sightseeing. I often don't sleep very well when away from home but the bed was SO comfortable - I even tried to find a label on the mattress so I could buy the same kind! I also really appreciated that the duvet wasn't too thick as I...more
Confortable place Lovely ,very clean and convenient for a shops and very good location for everything Thanks
My wife and I stayed here from 29th December until 01st January. The accommodation is exactly as advertised, location is fantastic, approximately 5 mins walk to the shambles. Plenty places to eat and drink on the doorstep if you didn’t want to go into the centre. The accommodation was quirky, different and comfortable, if anything I would suggest a wall or at least a curtain between the bedroom and the bathroom (please note that the bedroom and bathroom are like an open plan livingroom and diner) so no privacy if you need to use the bathroom whilst your both upstairs. Luckily my wife and I wer...more
This is the second year we’ve been to this apartment and I can honestly say both times have been brilliant. It’s a beautiful well displayed apartment with all you need for an enjoyable stay. Having a Christmas tree really puts us in the spirit of Christmas. It’s very close to the castle museum which is well worth a visit but only 5 minutes in the other direction to the street market and main shopping area. It’s very peaceful and relax.
Excellent accommodation, the only thing I would pick up on is not enough toilet rolls for the length of our stay and some more washing up liquid. had to buy bleach and kitchen roll but other than than that no faults at all we will definitely be staying here again , that was our 4th stay there
This is the second time we have stayed at Ryedale house (booked through Stays York) and it was excellent. The accommodation is fantastic and the correspondence through Stays York is brilliant. All round great experience
We stay in York for 5 days every year to do our Christmas shopping. The properties we stay in must be central, with on site parking, clean and comfortable - Hunt Court ticked all those boxes. It is an excellent property and the location is perfect- quiet but within easy walk of the main shopping areas to allow us to pop back with our bags when we needed to! Also only 2 mins from access to the walls and from our favourite restaurant in York - Little Italy. The house is very comfortable and mainly well equipped- some waste bins in the bathrooms and bedrooms would be a good addition. The mattress...more
The apartment was the In perfect location, well decorated & maintained to a high standard. The facilities & welcome pack were great & will definitely recommend & return again. Only slight negative comment would be lack of towels if staying more than 2 nights.
Second visit, very pleased. Couple of suggestions - clearer waste disposal guidance, some mugs for tea, provide a Tassimo or Nespresso machine (no idea how to use provided machine), make sure the tv remote batteries work (dead as dodo!), provide foil & cling film.
We loved our stay at Blake Mews. The house was nearly perfect from the welcome hamper to the thoughtful homey decor. Our only issues were burned out light bulbs and a window/door we couldn't open, leading to a dark bathroom and stuffy bedroom. I would stay here again!
Stayed in this beautiful apartment in York for the second time. Wonderful as ever, gorgeous views and fabulously well equipped. perfect central venue for exploring York. Brilliant instructions and communication.
Our stay at 7 Buckingham Street was delightful. From the cosy sitting area, to the spotless bathroom and the comfortable beds the accommodatoon ticked all the boxes. Conveniently situated five minutes from the bridge into the city centre and has two good pubs a minute or two away around the corner, we would definitely return.
The apartment is of a high standard and ideally located within 10 minutes walk of the main city centre. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Would definitely book again.
Property is very central to York. Could see the Minster from our balcony! Had to call a StaysYork agent to gain entry to the building as we didn't know there was another main door to gain entry. So dependant on the number of your apartment depends on which gate and door you enter by. Once we called them, they quickly called back and then this became apparent. This information would have been useful to know in the check in information before arriving! We had a lovely visit and were very lucky with the weather. Everything is on your doorstep so we didn't have to use our car at all, ...more
The property at No 5 Rowntree House was just spectacular. The interior of the building was very individual and the actual apartment was very quirky. Stays York were very professional providing us with all the information needed to enter the property and were available if we had any issues. We spent 7 nights and enjoyed our time in York. The location of the apartment/building is very centrally located and opposite M&S so being able to obtain provisions for meals was very easy. The only negatives were that the corner shower is very small so if you are of a "larger size" you will not be able ...more
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The apartment itself is beautiful and very comfortable, and the location on Coney Street couldn’t be better – everything you’d want to see and do is just steps away. There are just a few small touches that would take the experience from great to excellent: providing more than two toilet rolls for longer stays, addressing an occasional smell from the shower drain, adding a box of tissues (we had to use toilet roll instead), and including a few extra glassware options like champagne flutes and tall glasses. Overall, though, it’s a fantastic place t...more
Excellent communication throughout. A very well equipped and comfortable cottage in a quiet area but only a few minutes walk from the river, a few more minutes to the city centre and, in our case, the Christmas markets. Lots of nice touches made this a real home from home. We had a great week here.
The apartment was in great location for central York attractions, it was tastefully decked out and had everything we needed for our 3 day break. A nice touch was the hamper left for us.
Kind & helpful Stays York staff Excellent location In grounds of Saltmoore Hotel Will be better when building work finished Superb food available at Salymoore Hotel
We really enjoyed our stay at Shorethwaite, the house was beautifully presented and very comfortable with everything you need for a week away. The bottle of wine was a really nice touch and the house was a real home from home. Stays York were really good too, regarding communication and assistance with booking. I would definitely use them again. We would also definitely stay at Shorethwaite again if we return to the area. Would highly recommend.
Our recent stay in York was absolutely brilliant! This apartment is tastefully decorated and was sparkling clean from top to bottom. While we’ve previously stayed in Minster-facing rooms in this building, we actually loved the fantastic people-watching from the living room here—it adds such a fun, local vibe to your morning coffee! The Highlights: • Prime Location: Steps away from The Shambles and just a short stroll to the Yorkshire Museum. (Be sure to explore the Museum Gardens—the ruins are stunning!) • Foodie Heaven: You’re surrounded by great eats. We highly recommend a meal at The Whi...more
We stayed at 22 Buckingham Street for 5 nights after the previous 2 properties we had booked were cancelled on us. The property was clean and well equipped. The owner emailed on arrival to say we could have access early as cleaning was finished. There is a parking permit available for 1 car. The house is very central and we walked everywhere, the street is very quiet with no through traffic. I would recommend this property and would stay again if we return to York. Thank you very much to the owner and to Stays York.
Apartment had everything we needed. Comfy bed, a great shower, good wifi and was very well equipped. Apartment & parking is in a gated complex and we appreciated the secure, allocated parking. Although very central the actual location is quiet and we slept very well. A minor issue ~ it was a very cold day when we arrived and we felt cold in the apartment for a fair while until the heating reached a higher temperature ~ maybe the thermostat could be left a few degrees higher than 13 during the winter months to accommodate new arrivals & give a better first impression. Communication with Stay...more
Had such an amazing stay here. The location was perfect, located in a lovely area with great restaurants, about a 15 minute walk from the city centre.
Very comfortable accommodation although sofa is more suited to tall people- as an average height female I did slide off. Would be useful if the directions stated that it’s between the turnings Moorgate and West Bank. As the house doesn’t have a number I had to park the car and go and look for it. Some of the items in the kitchen drawer were not particularly clean but I guess that reflects previous occupants rather than the cleaners. It is comfortable and convenient if you have a car. The garden is overgrown and if it was me I would have some pictures on the walls: it’s quite functio...more
This was truly a home away from home! The house was well equipped, beautifully decorated with lots of lovely knick knacks that made it feel like a home rather than a soulless rental. They had even put up a Christmas tree and lights which was such a lovely touch. York Stays were very well organised and answered my questions promptly, even organising car parking at the last minute. We enjoyed our time in York and would love to stay here again.
Booked the apartment for a last minute short break, it is in a great location minutes from shops and places to visit and comes with parking.The property is well appointed with everything you need for a self-catered stay, but also close to a local supermarket and lots of cafes and restaurants. Everything was in good condition, a modern and bright apartment. Heating in the property is a little hit and miss, it was cold upon arrival as the radiators were turned off - this is to conserve energy but is not great when you arrive in the winter in the cold and dark. They quickly warmed but not easy...more
Great location and views from windows…it should be noted that the central location by the river came with some evening noise. The apartment is great, well equipped and comfortable. The kitchen was very well kitted. Instructions for entry, departure and appliance use very clear. Parking a real bonus in this part of town. The only negative was that the second bathroom only had a bath, with no shower….not ideal for two couples sharing.
Lovely 2 bed flat with spacious double rooms. Sitting room and kitchen both comfortable and had all the things we needed. Bathroom was attractive and clean. Great location on the river and walking distance to all usual sites.
Lovely place , bed a little uncomfortable and pillows too flat , not enough toilet paper had to buy some more for length of stay,
Very cosy and well equipped apartment. Perfect location and close enough to walk into the city of York.
Overall our stay was great, the Apartment suited our requirements, spacious, alot of natural light, great kitchen, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a laundry. The beds were comfortable, however the pillows were very uncomfortable, after requesting some better pillows, the Property Manager contacted the owner to which they kindly agreed to provide some new pillows, which the Property Manager arranged and delivered which was great. Thanks for accommodating this. The only other feedback is we didn't find the lounge to be very comfortable. It was great to have the parking spot right outside as th...more
Great apartment for couples. Had everything we needed for a short stay. Although could do with a few more coathangers for clothes in wardrobe and both extractor fans in bathrooms didn't work need fixing. Other than that the apartment is in a great location. Few minutes walk to shops and pubs. Also great if going to Barbican for a show. Added bonus of a parking space. Would return.
This is our 2nd stay at this fantastic apartment, close to the town centre and just up from the River Ouse. Secure parking is excellent as is the general security of the apartments.
This apartment is very well situated in York. Nicely furnished and spacious enough for three to four people. Things that could be improved - the bin under the sink was very dirty on both the inside and outside. It also contained some rubbish. Also hair was found in the ensuite bathroom. The heated towel rail in the ensuite bathroom was not working - we understand that it takes time to have things repaired but when guests are paying money to have all amenities in working order it is disappointing. A clothes rack was listed on the website but could not be found. The Stays York office were...more
We stayed in the flat over Christmas 2025. The flat was very clean, warm and well-equipped, with very comfortable beds. It had everything we needed for a lovely Christmas stay. The building is also really nice and very well located - very secure with friendly concierge and excellent parking and only a few minutes walk into the centre of York. It was nice to have the balcony, and although the view is a little limited, we still enjoyed it. All in all a really lovely place to stay.
This was a lovely flat in a quiet location, but very handy for both the city centre and the railway station.
Fully equipped and ready for your Shambles Holiday. Bedroom is away from the street so noise is limited. Fun, exciting location, Pubs and stores literal steps away.
Everything was easy and we managed to get a parking spot! House had everything we could need, and beds were comfortable with lovely linen. Great location. Hot tub wasn’t very strong with the jets but maybe we couldn’t work it out. Otherwise excellent. Thank you.
Easy to get around. Walking distance of most things. Very quiet. All we expected. My daughter enjoyed staying too.
We absolutely loved York. Precentors Court was in the perfect location to explore the city, and the chiming of the bells was just so special. The building is full of character and charm, making it a great stay.
A super apartment, beautifully clean and well appointed. A small welcome pack. It would benefit from the large desk and chair being removed from the main bedroom as it is quite congested. Just a heads up - you need to remember to take shampoo and shower gel as this isn’t provided. Looking forward to staying again.
We booked the Falcon 8 for two nights for our wedding anniversary. The apartment itself was immaculate and well stocked. Location fantastic - walking distance to city centre. The best part however is the customer service. The team in the office were so kind and accommodating. We were able to leave our bags. Also able to do it on the day we checked out. Truly recommend. Don’t bother with Airbnb! Thanks guys!
Lots of room, everything you might need is supplied. Beds were comfortable and bedrooms spacious. Lots of ambient lighting as well as bright lights for when they are needed… Bathrooms well appointed. We had a slight issue re basin plug, but it was a minor thing. Kitchen and living areas were bright and well furnished. We found the kitchen overhead cupboard doors difficult to open and heavy to hold- perhaps it was just us…. Instructions for access and entry were clear, and we appreciated the details for refuse and recycling arrangements.
Having stayed at Ryedale House previously, at a different apartment but still with York Stays, we were not disappointed. Again a lovely modern apartment with a river view this time. The parking and the convenience to the city centre are the selling points to us. We will be back again.
Victoria cottage was a lovely property in a great location. Really enjoyed our stay, it was clean and warm, the decor was beautiful. Thankyou stays at York
An absolutely lovely property to stop in for Christmas and birthday on the 27th. and visited my daughter who lives in York and only thing I was disappointed with was there was no Christmas tree ! However, they were other decorations, just a personal preference of mine! Also had a lovely surprise of a food hamper from stays York! such a lovely thought
We have just had a weekend away in York and stayed at Nunnery Lane. What a stunning property. Spotlessly clean, very well equipped. Beautiful decor. Cozy lounge with wood burning stove to make it even more so. Location is perfect as it is a short walk to the station and York centre. The local shops around the corner are great, Angel on The Green and fish and chip shop were highlights. Would thoroughly recommend staying here
I spent 6 happy nights here, and it was splendid! A beautiful, stylish clean home base for my explorations of York. It was quiet and safe, convenient with a Sainsbury's a few feet from the door, and Bootham Bar was right around the corner-- you couldn't want a better location. I had everything I needed, including laundry facilities. A couple of suggestions: it was be nice if the owners provided a mini-bottle of shampoo and conditioner for guests to start out with on arrival. I know Sainsibury's is handy, but after a long day of travel, the last thing I wanted to do was go back out after unp...more
I stayed for just a little over 3 months and it was great from the get go. A few small issues but all dealt with very quickly and efficiently even at the weekend. The emergency contact is not just a false reassurance on paper, it does work and was appreciated. Clean, safe, perfectly functional and very comfortable (bed, replaced pillows and the armchairs). Great shower and towels. I found the bar was set too high for my liking but it was functional. Kettle could do with a replacement, it’s a bit worn. The induction is very fiddly to work and have used induction many a times before, but ok onc...more
First thing to say is that this is a stunning building, beautifully restored. The apartment itself is great, spread over four floors, okay for six although the top room is quite small and the second bathroom on the top floor is only a toilet and basin - only one shower/bathroom. The cinema room is great! And the location is perfect - ten minutes walk over the river to the centre of York and two minutes away from the excellent shops and restaurants on Bishopthorpe Rd.
Stayed 7 nights in this lovely apartment @ Bootham House. Very minimalistic layout that we grew to appreciate over time, with little risk of breaking anything as a consequence. Extremely quiet with only occasional noise from other apartments in the same building. The common areas in Bootham House are maintained to a high standard and the lift is relatively new. The view from the large windows was much appreciated across to Museum Gardens and beyond.Smart tv was appreciated, though you will need to use your home sign in details. Negatives just a few and of minor importance. All 4 windows can be...more
I really like this place. It's the third time I've stayed in this building in different apartments, and I've used all of them so far. I really like the location, the good taste in all the apartments, and the comfort in all the rooms.
Great location The heating system needs looking at , it was freezing in there when we arrived took ages to warm up and then kept switching it self back down to 14 degrees
We had a lovely stay at The Retreat for a long weekend in December. The apartment is beautifully decorated, with all the amenities you need and is in a perfect location for exploring York. A few things could’ve improved our stay: - footsteps from the apartment above are very audible and at times we could also hear the people in the apartment above talking. Better soundproofing (carpets, thicker rugs) might help. - there is no parking and parking at Marygate is very expensive (£25 a day in December). For this reason, if we stayed again I’d weigh up the cost of booking one of the middle ...more
We had a wonderful week at The Birdie. The house was clean, light and spacious with plenty of equipment available to use. The fans were a great addition. Enjoyed the shower every day and sitting at the breakfast bar to eat or do my puzzle. Parking was good for 2 largish vehicles and the location was very quiet and well cared for. Sitting in the garden was lovely, listening to people playing golf and avoiding the apples falling off the tree! Our dog loved it. It was a very private garden and we enjoyed the time we sat out there. Again, lots of space. The beds were huge and very comfortable and ...more
Fantastic accommodation didn't want to come home. Brilliant location if you are competing in the york marathon only 1.5 mile walk to the University of york. Bus stop over the road with lots bus companies going into york city centre. The plough Inn pub over the road great food and nice staff. Free parking space outside accommodation. Would definitely stay at the smithy again. Only negative thing was the wine glasses they were so thin they literally broke in your hand when trying to clean them. I did inform staysyork and suggested replacing them with better quality glasses.
Excellent location good sized rooms would defiantly stay here again everything is so close by shops pubs restaurants local attractions the market and plenty more
Great communication from Stays York. We were advised that we could check in earlier than 4pm, which was brilliant. The house was a little way out from the Centre, but easily walkable. Ubers were pretty cheap however. House was clean and had everything we needed for a couple of nights. We were able to park just outside the house which was an added bonus. Beds and pillows were comfy, the bed maybe a little narrow for the average single, but copeable! All linen and towels were clean and fresh. The house itself was a little smaller than anticipated but as we were only there to sleep and relax i...more
We had a brilliant stay at this centrally located gem in York. The room was finished to a high standard throughout, modern, stylish, and immaculately clean. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, with quality linens that made for a great night’s sleep. The wet room was a real highlight. Spacious, sleek, and very well designed. Everything felt thoughtfully put together, from the lighting to the overall layout. Access was simple and hassle-free, and despite being right in the heart of the city, the room felt quiet and private. You’re just steps away from all the shops, restaurants, and his...more
We have stayed here many times and have again enjoyed another great stay and have rebooked for November 2026. The appeal of the apartment is its location but also the way it is furnished.
An enjoyable stay in York, mid-week. This isn't the first time we've stayed in the Cocoa Suites. It's in a great location and quite close to the centre of the city. We arrived by train, so parking wasn't a consideration for us. No issues for us at all.
Modern compact suite with useful facilities such as combination washing machine/dryer; oven/microwave, four plate hob burner. Good security system within flat and the allocated parking area. Overall the accommodation was clean and well presented. More attention from cleaning firm would rectify areas not up to standard such as:- dusty utensils on worktop, dusty fire protection equipment, used tissues under bed, bed cabinet dusty in bottom of recess area where bed folds up, (long pillow fell in there and it was covered in thick dust). Condensation and mould build up on windows. It wasn't difficu...more

Great property, great location. This is our fourth visit and we will stay again. The secure car park is a real bonus.
Great location and property, perfect for walking into city. Would recommend for staying again. Only drawbacks were the noisy extractor fan and only provided with a single dishwasher tablet when staying for 6 nights
Loverly apartment, great location everything you needed was there. Only thing would be the apartment was very hot slightly uncomfortable at night seemed like heating was on from other apartments.
Aycliffe cottage was set in a great location for accessing York on foot. It was also a fairly quiet location so had the benefit of proximity to York city centre without the noise. The cottage had a nice feel to it and helpful signs for Wi-Fi, rubbish, oven etc so didn’t have to keep consulting the welcome pack which was good. The bedrooms were comfortable and the bathroom was great. There were 3 toilets in the property, 1 on each floor which was definitely a bonus. The cottage would have been improved with a better sofa, it was a good couch if you like to sit low to the ground but I have bac...more
Just one issue. Had to go to the office to collect the key. Driving into a city we didn't know with so many roadworks and closures was horrendous. Took ages to find the office (yes we had sat nav) then struggled to park. Very stressful and time consuming.
The apartment is stylish, it is an excellent location just a short stroll from the centre and the river. The only criticism is the off site parking.
The location is easy to find and ten minutes walk to city centre. It is a clean,comfy and quiet stylish studio beside the river. Power shower and spacious enough to relax in property. The only thing that could be better is the oven and cooker. Couldn't get it working properly and didn't cook food well. Great everything else. Would recommend.
Stayed for the 3rd time at the house and it was once again in excellent condition. All needs are catered for with lots of kitchen utensils including a Nespresso machine. Only thing missing was a corkscrew so had to buy one! Would definetely return again and again.
Exceptional! The apartment is first class; a real home from home. It is fully equipped with quality equipment - everything one could possibly want or need for a stay of what ever length. It is situated in a quiet location with stunning views of The Minster and within very easy reach of the city’s shops and eateries. This was our third visit and we have already booked again for next year.
I really enjoyed my stay at The Grand at Dukes Townhouse. The location was excellent, close to the train, on a quiet street, and only a short walk into town. The flat was clean and spacious, with a thoughtful welcome basket on arrival. The management company was very responsive and handled everything quickly. I also appreciated that the neighbors were considerate, (the building is older and the walls are thin) which made the stay feel peaceful. Overall, it was a comfortable, convenient, and welcoming place to stay, and I would happily return.
If you are looking for comfort and convenience of location, look no further. My family had a great time staying at this property.
The accomodation was great, well equipped and close to the city. Nicely decorated and convenient from the train station. The Yorkshire hamper was lovely and appreciated after travelling by train.
Fab stay, well equipped home. Easy access to the city and its attractions. Highly recommended, will definitely use Stays york again
Andrew of the Stays York staff was very accommodating in providing a heater for the first floor back bedroom as the radiator there was not working. He also ordered a plumber to attend the morning after we arrived to try to rectify the issue. When we had booked, months in advance, we were informed that there was one resident’s parking permit that came with the stay. However, this had lapsed by the time we were staying. Again Stays York were very accommodating with their solution to this. My family had a wonderful break indeed using the recommendations provided in the property to visit pubs etc....more
We had a great stay, the accommodation was clean, comfortable and convenient to the shops and close to where our family were also staying. We did have an issue with the hob on the first night but this was rectified the next day. Would happily stay there again.
Very nice place , could do with a bath mat as very slippy getting in and out of shower , no extra bin bags provided to remove rubbish , and extra storage space needed in loft bedroom otherwise a very pleasant stay.
We stay in York for a week every December to do our Christmas shopping. Our two main priorities for somewhere to stay are central location and parking. The Dutch House was the perfect location with the added bonus of onsite secure parking - fabulous! The house was quirky, warm, very clean, and comfortable. Another bonus was that it was only round the corner from our favourite restaurant in York - Little Italy- not to be missed for authentic dishes (no pizzas!). It was a pity that there was no welcome pack, as shown on the pictures, and even mentioned in the visitors book, Some milk would ha...more
Management was super kind and generous. Cleaning was on a regular schedule, and they were prompt to inform of any changes or upcoming needs.
The Lux apartment lives up to its name. We have stayed in many apartments but this is by far the best, we didnt want to leave & all wanted to live there. We will be booking again soon for next year, cant wait.
The property is in very good standard and good location, very easy to walk to city center, the only draw back was not having an extracter for the kitchen cooking, otherwise a comfortable stay overall.
Great location and were met promptly, keys handed over with no issues. We visited this apartment several years ago and although clean, furniture and fittings are mostly as they were and require updating. The flood level when we visited was above dangerous but we received no information from Stays York either before or during our stay.
Cute little house, perfectly located for a beautiful break in York. Updated bathroom and thoughtful decoration make the most of this two up two down cottage. Quiet location, despite being so central
Everything you need for a short stay in York - park the car and explore on foot. The chimes of the Minster bell awake you in the morning (8am), you can then prepare for your day of exploring York. Easy with each bedroom having ensuite facilities. Leave the car where is it safely parked under cover ( room for 2). When you are footsore - wander back to your cosy cottage, plenty of facilities to cook, watch telly, read a book and snuggle up on the sofa. Moatside Gate met our needs and we plan to return.
Just perfect for location. Everything really is on your doorstep. Comfortable and exceptionally clean apartment. Wheelchair freindly. Very well stocked kitchen area (apart from food obviously ) One very minor negative was no kitchen roll.Unless it was in a place i did not spot.
Had a marvellous stay in a beautiful apartment. Worked very well for us. Warm and comfortable and plenty of space Loved it
Third time of staying kinda says it all really,super accommodation in the centre of york secure parking, two minutes from main square/pubs/restaurants,simply the best
We loved how the place was decorated for Christmas, this added to our pre Christmas holiday. We come to York every Christmas so this will definitely be booked again. Thanks for everything
Yet again working with Stays York we had great, and very comfortable trip. Ryedale House is an excellent property, located within a couple of minutes walk to the center of town. Comfortable, clean, convenient.
Cocoa Suites 37 offers the perfect combination of style, comfort, convenience and great location. The bed was very comfortable, the suite was quiet, and the atmosphere was peaceful. Everything felt new and well maintained. Excellent value for money.
Weekend stay. Great location right in the centre of York but in a private secure courtyard on a side street and amazed how quiet it was. First floor apartment, very comfortable and clean. Well equipped kitchen, good quality bedding and comfortable beds. Communal grassed area with chairs to sit outside if weather nice. A secure care parking space was a real bonus. Highly recommend. Letting agency (Stays at York) very helpful and efficient.
Our stay was perfect. It offered everything we wanted. Thank you. The description on york stay was spot on !
This was an amazing place for me to stay during my 3 months placement at the hospital. It was close to a bus stop which made it easy to get the bus into the town and was around 40minute walk to get to the town. Neighbours are lovely. Private car park and also had nice walks around about it. The only thing that isn’t great is the roof is very low which means walking around hunched over when doing the washing up or in the kitchen area. The bathroom is also freezing cold even with the radiator for the towels. Overall great place
The studio was comfortable and well laid out, with a large bathroom, a good sofa, and a nice amount of space overall. However, the plumbing needs attention, as the water in the sink drained very slowly. In addition, both the oven and the microwave were not working, which caused a significant inconvenience, especially during Christmas lunch. Although a temporary microwave was later provided (which I appreciated), this issue had a considerable impact on my stay. I would also like to mention that the chairs were unstable and wobbly, which is an important safety and comfort concern. Thank...more
Nice street front location in the heart of the Shambles. We l equipped and ready for your visit.Third floor has quite a few stairs to climb. Secure and convenient.
Location was perfect, really happy with the room it was spot on. Price was decent for what it was had all the facilities,
Superb apartment- nice clean,cosy and well equipped place for short break … close to the city centre and train station. Can’t complain .
Everything was very good. I have given it a 1 for comfort due to the fact that the pillows were so thin they were almost non existent. We actually went out and bought some new ones.
Lovely apartment. Taps loose in kitchen need attention. Lift needs replacing. My husband at 81;had to carry all luggage to car. I really struggled to get down the 3 flights of steps because lift would not work. Good parking and comfortable apartment.
A comfortable, pretty cottage in a great location. Suitable for a family or group of friends for a short break.
This apartment is lovely, , spacious, great views and in a great location. I would definitely return and recommend to others. Just a shame that there were a couple of small things that have been overlooked ie chipped crockery , stains on bedroom carpet and bath sealant needed replacing that stopped it getting 5*
Great property warm, clean and comfortable. Welcome instructions easy to follow and lots of information available about York and the local area. Would definitely come back again.
We would like to share some initial considerations, as we will be staying here until March. Overall, the studio is very good. The kitchen is well equipped and works very well, the view is stunning, and the location is excellent. We are very happy with the space and would certainly recommend it. There are just a couple of small points to note: the frying pans may need replacing, as the Teflon coating has worn off, and the sofa legs are slightly unstable and could use some attention. Apart from these minor points, everything is very nice and comfortable. Kind regards, Gabriel
The check-in was easy and straightforward. The climb up the steep flights of stairs to the top was worth it as the door to the lodgings opened up into a bright and welcoming space. Sloping ceilings might make this tricky for some but I was surprised by how spacious the Minster loft is. Everything was clean and well presented. There was even a welcome pack of tea, coffee and biscuits. The kitchen area was well supplied with equipment, two sofas and a separate dining table area made this a comfortable base from which to explore York. And when wandering around was done a lovely bathroom and bedr...more
Me and my partner attended a stay at York for the Christmas Market and stayed in this property which was quirky and different to most accommodation stays. It had a homely and authentic feel which York being a cultural and historic town, with a lovely layout and peaceful stay. Highly recommend this accommodation.
This is a dream of a place. Highly recommend. Had a perfect stay with my friends. It is well catered for families too.
only complaint is very poor check in details; having located the key in the key safe as per the extent of the instructions, we then had to work out for ourselves to use the fob to open the front door, take the lift up three floors, use another fob to get through another door then the key to enter the apartment! The apartment itself was great, but again on leaving the instructions for the bin emtpying was to place them in the bins in the garage….what garage? Where?! We had a problem with the lift whilst we were there but Stays were very responsive.
This was visit number 6, I will never stay in a hotel in York again. Ryedale House offers so much more, good location, comfortable , spacious , well equipped kitchen, I will definitely be back
The venue was really well situated in the centre of the city - we parked our car & didn't have to use it during our stay. The room was spacious and had a separate lounge/kitchen are, which was great & gave additional space The room is also nicely decorated with vibrant colours & crazy wallpaper, which was half the appeal. The room was clean on arrival, however, it would have been nice if someone could have come in to change the floor towel (which was soaked through, given that there's no lip on the shower floor & water flows around freely on the bathroom floor) and empty the bins. Towel hooks ...more
Overall a good property, great location with a few updates it could be perfect Update the en suite bathroom - very tired, cubicle needs replacing and no where to put toiletries Lounge is amazing but lacking in having a decent TV in a location you can actually sit and watch it (we had 2 days of heavy rain so spent more time indoors and this was an issue for us)
Had a lovely stay in the Centre of York . My Wife loved the room with the Bath & floral decorations! The Room was very clean. As expected a little noisy on the saturday night, being right in the middle of the High st. Easy to check in with keysafe. Only things to be aware of is ,there is parking recommended beforehand, however we were not told that we had to pre book parking, which meant we were trying to find a parking space forever & were losing the Will !! A couple of minor things were the water in the bathroom sink was absolutely scalding hot ! & only a couple of very small sachet...more
I look for a warm, clean, well equipped, cosy stay with a comfortable bed and a great shower. It had everything ! Kitchen had everything we needed. There is nothing I could fault - great location too. We will definitely stay again :) Thank you - what a great company to deal with - I will now always use Stays.
The property is ideally situated with a fantastic view of the Minster. The furnishings are comfortable, clean and modern and the shower is excellent. The only suggestions we have are that the property would benefit from a second TV downstairs and that while it was easy to use the hob and combined microwave/oven/grill it was extremely difficult to wash up as there is nowhere to drain crockery, pans etc.
Comfortable three bedroom house but 2 of the bedrooms a little on the small side. Very clean and well equipped. Also good location - easy access to the centre of York.
I recently returned to this apartment after a pleasant first stay in May, but unfortunately this visit fell far short of expectations. While the apartment itself is modern and nicely presented, a number of issues made the experience uncomfortable. The Wi-Fi dropped repeatedly throughout the stay, which was both inconvenient and frustrating. Even more concerning was discovering a pair of old women’s underwear behind the towel heater—an unexpected and unhygienic find that suggests housekeeping standards were not up to the level they should be. The heating was also extremely temperamental, ...more
Four of us stayed at the apartment in November (two from Edinburgh, two from Shropshire) and the location was perfect as we all travelled by train. The accommodation was adequate, though the smaller double room was very small and we had to use the third bedroom for our cases and change of clothes. Our room was also quite dusty (especially under the bed) and the bed has one of its stays broken, though this did not bother us. Our main complaint would be that the accommodation as a whole needs updating: all the guides and brochures are between six and ten years out of date, the TV is very basi...more
Location was amazing with a great view from all rooms. Underfloor heating was good This apartment was let down by a few maintenance issues the bathrooms 2 out of 3 not able to use due to extremely hot temperatures that could not be turned down We all had to share which was not ideal as en-suite. A broken window door that could not be open The beds we all found uncomfortable and didn’t have great nights sleep in both rooms. The sofa had a couple of large stains on it and needed a good clean We would not return to this apartment
Great location for train station and getting into the main centre of York- easily walkable. Also liked the local surrounding area of Bishopthrope Road for meals and pub/bars. We ate at the Thai and Indian there which were great and the popular Angel on the Green was a lovely find at the top of the road! Clementhorpe Maltings was well kept, comfortable - beds gave a great night's sleep! The stairs became a bit of a pain over 3 floors, so be mindful if any mobility issues, but lovely house. Stays York Andrew was most helpful in accommodating our idea regarding storing bags until our train bac...more
We had a very nice two week stay at the apartment. Although it was not our original booking it turned out very nice. The layout of the accommodation was good. Access to the first floor was via a very convenient lift which was handy as the original apartment booked was on the ground floor so we were a little worried. The facilities in the apartment were sufficient for a two week stay. The added bonus of a washing machine, was welcome although we did only use it once halfway through our stay. The only criticisms were mainly based on the fact that we are not in the first flush of youth and we fo...more
There were no chairs only 2 settees which were very low and deep most uncomfortable. The apartment was airless and windows did not open fully. The hanging in the lobby was high.
The pros: The location and views of the hotel was amazing. We kept laughing at the fact that it seemed that everything we ended up going was literally 5 minutes away. The basics were also just right, the shower was amazing and the bed leant it self to a very restful sleep. The cons: The cleanliness/cleaning of the room was disappointing. Dust seemed to be everywhere. There was mold growing on the second floor stairs. The bed had some previous tenants vape laying under the bed on my final inspection to see if anything was left. And to top it all of the towels. Now maybe I'm just being over...more
A really lovely apartment in a beautiful location. Well equipped with lovely finishes! Had a small issue on check in but the service was excellent and rectified straight away. My only observation would be that the sofa bed in the living room, I wouldn’t really class as a bed. It’s a futon and unfortunately very uncomfortable. Otherwise, an amazing stay!
Lovely house and location; however the house was disappointing in several respects. Promised tea towels, oven gloves and a few dish washer capsules. None were present and had to be asked for. We were 6 adults and 2 children. The house can sleep 10 adults. There were only 5 matching wine glasses and 3 Prosecco glasses and one other wine glass. The house was reasonably clean but certain areas were poorly dusted. The young children with us soon rooted about a dozen, small plastic items down sofas and so there had not been a thorough clean or else they would not have been there. There were few e...more
Very comfortable well equipped cottage in a superb setting with the added advantage of lots of scenic walks on hand. Hope to return in the near future.
Beautiful apartment in a great location. Couldn’t have asked for anything more, perfect size, great layout. Only negatives were the heating, it was either hot or cold, don’t seem to be any in between maybe due to heaters and not being radiators. Blinds in the main bedroom, could have done with a blackout blind. Could also hear people at 3am, presumably on their way home, can live with that as we’ve been there and done it before! Overall was a fab stay and would defo return. x
So fun to enjoy a bit of history and stay in the converted Rowntree chocolate factory. Great location walkable to all the attractions as well as easy access to groceries. Comfortable and spacious for 1 person, would be a bit cozy for more. Very clean and the cleaning service for my longer stay was great. I found the kitchen a little ill-equipped. The windows let in a lot of noise as there is a walkway and gate right outside the window, as well as the building entrance. If you're a light sleeper this could be an issue.
We loved the enchantment for its special look and location. The bed was very comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. There were a few minor flaws that might need some fixing (bed lamp and curtain broken and a missing TV remote) but the responses of Stays York were quick and helpful. We couldn't manage to get the fire DVD working but everything else was just fine. We would definitely recommend this location for a stay in York.
Found this flat bit more grubby than i expected, paint work around skirtings needed redone, grout in shower looking a bit black. Found welcome pack minimal. Nice vase of fresh flowers would have been welcome. Location perfect to walk into town and really quiet, view from windows of water and wild life very relaxing. Last time stayed in two bedroom in same property and it was really wow factor…..this particular apartment needs to get that.
Set in a very good location. Clean and tidy. Some small maintenance issues which should be picked on when doing regular checks.
The apartment was a very convenient location, within easy walking distance from central York. The kitchen was well equipped for our 3 night stay. Detailed instructions left to ease our entry & exit. Unfortunately the shower & sink were rather grubby so this was off putting. The mattress on the bed was so soft that I woke up each night with aching hips. The worst thing was the boiler located in a cupboard in the bedroom that came off & on during the night with light & sound that gave a disturbed nights sleep. Noise from outside between 2-4pm (screaming & shouting) each night was also unfortun...more
Found this apartment to be lacking compared to others we’ve stayed at in Cocoa Suites. The toilet door was broken, there was no toilet brush, the accessories were very basic and pretty old. Could have been a little bit cleaner. Overall fairly sub standard for the price.
The property was clean and tidy and the welcome pack provided is very helpful to get you started but with this property we had issues parking as the street is very narrow and busy, the alternative street parking is also not very convenient with the residents not being happy when you park outside their property even though legally anyone can park there. The mattresses in the bedrooms need replacing as you could feel all the springs so it was not a comfortable nights sleep.
We (my sister and I) were temporarily moved to this location (this apartment and an adjacent one) as there was a water leak in the apartment we had originally chosen (Westgate, 15 minutes away). The location was excellent, however compared to the original apartment this one was much smaller. It is meant for a couple, but it feels a bit claustrophobic and would be suitable for one person. The apartment was tastefully decorated and is well equipped, however, the curtains in one window were hanging off and the window was broken - on the first floor this may not be an issue, however it felt unsafe...more
In general, we were satisfied with the stay. There were just not enough kitchen utensils and no vacuum cleaner for cleaning.
Very warm and cosy in winter but still very light filled space. Gorgeous accommodation in a great location.
Lovely apartment with 2 good bedrooms and bathrooms one of which is en suite, in a great location. Only 2 minute walk from Betty's Tea room and shops. On first floor but has a lift. Beautiful views of Minster.
Grooms cottage was easy to find, in a quiet location just behind a small park but with easy access into the City. It was very modern with all appliances you need and clean and tidy. Comfy beds, nice en-suite to a very large master bedroom. Great bonus is the allocated parking space for one car as the street has no parking. One small negative comment for us was the outside area with table and chairs had not been prepared at all which was disappointing as the sun was out on arrival but we soon sorted this with a brush and cleaned the table and chairs down with soap and water. Ove...more
Perfect location, comfort place, easy access , safe , easy payment The only comment omit is Expensive as a studio
The property was beautifully furnished and clean. We were very pleased on arrival with the place and had a nice stay. Our main complaint was with the radiators in the living room. They did not heat up properly, one did not heat up at all and the other only fractionally. The room is a large mansion room with high ceilings, as a result we found we were unable to sit comfortably in the living room and had to drag chairs out to the hall for warmth. Stays York did send someone round with a blow heater which helped but for a room of that size still did not heat the room effectively.
Lovely comfortable house in a quiet yet central location with easy walking access to centre of York and the river. Service from Stays at York was great. Minor niggle was not quite enough pots and pans but overall a lovely property and would stay again.
The positives - great location, as the apartment is within very easy walking distance of the railway station and the city centre. The apartment was clean and tidy and modern. Great bathroom and all the facilities that you need for a short stay. However, the less positives are the layout of the sitting room. As it is a L shape, the TV is mounted on the wall just as you enter the room and you have to be very careful that you don't collide with it. The windows are all very small and do not open very wide. The weekend that we stayed was not particularly hot (22/23C) but the apartment was ver...more
We’ve previously used Stays York on our trips to York & will highly recommend them as a company. The little details were somewhat missing this time (normally we get a Yorkshire hamper with local goodies to taste, this time it was just individual teabags/coffee/milk & a small twin pack of biscuits) & the customer service wasn’t great when we contacted them about not finding something in the apartment after checking in, but that could be due to the bank holiday weekend approaching. Pawson House is a great location if you want to explore the north side of York. It can benefit from having more cu...more
We stayed 4 people at this apartment and it was reasonably well located. Quiet area, good value for money. We liked that it was well equipped. The only downside was that we got there in the evening and it was a bit difficult locating the apartment as all around there were apartments, and the numbers on the door were a bit tricky to find in the dark. Other than that would use it again for future stays.
Only a 5-8 mins walk from Monks Gate and the City, this is an ideal property for exploring York and surrounding area. The parking permit for one car is handy. We were able to park directly outside the house. There is ample room for 6 persons. There is a well equipped kitchen with Arga style range that takes some getting used to. Just need to allow extra time to cook. The house was well presented and clean. Be aware there is no ground floor toilet and the stairs to the attic bedroom are quite steep.The only thing that let the house down was the lounge, which was perfectly functional, but the f...more
On entering for the first time, the overwhelming impression was the smell of paint. The whole place had been painted white all over including all of the woodwork. Unfortunately a strong smelling gloss had been used. A water based low odour paint would have been much more agreeable. Within two days I developed a bad cold which I couldn’t shake off. With the time of year that could have been coincidental of course. Ventilating the flat was compromised by the design of the windows which included floor to ceiling glass doors which couldn’t be left open in a ground floor flat. A triumph of desi...more
Amazing apartment over 2 floors. Beautifully designed and furnished and in a brilliant location for station and city centre. Surprisingly quiet given the location and would highly recommend.
Would be perfect if it had a parking space other than that no complaints at all very well situated for town
We loved our family break in 18 Dove street. Easy to reach from the train station & a short walk into the City centre. House was nice & cosy. Plenty of bed options for 3 adults & 4 children. We cooked in most evenings however sometimes a challenge as no oven gloves provided & had to use the thin dish towel. Could also do with some tumblers, salt & pepper, & bins in the bedrooms to make it more home from home. With these small changes we’d definitely stay again.
The apartment is located in a beautiful street very close to the old town if not even part of it already. Shops and restaurants are closeby. Checkin went smoothly, parking was included and not far away. It was quite cold outside, so we struggled to heat up the apartment. The bedroom in this groundfloor flat was quite a bit noisy from the street. We planned on making good use of the kitchen. It was well well equipped on a basic standard. However basic staples like a kitchen roll, oil, salt, and pepper werent provided, but supermarkets are close. Unfortunately the dishwasher didnt work, as we re...more
Group of 3 couples Sunning property innan excellent location. Everything you need is provided. Beds are super comfy and bathrooms were excellent. Couldn't fault it! Highly recommend.
Stunning property within a 10 minute walk from York city centre. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it was very comfortable and ideal for our needs. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch. A couple of negative points, the WiFi was hit and miss, there were no instructions on how to use the microwave/combi oven so we had to drive to Leeds to borrow an air fryer from a friend. The Aga would’ve taken 3 hours to heat and not ideal during the summer months. I phoned the emergency out of hours helpline to request instructions and was informed I’d receive an email but this did not happen. I also asked ...more
Great location, 3 minute walk from M & S food. 2 parking spaces in the private parking great too. Clean and a great place to celebrate the New Year.
Nice little flat with a convenient location, however we found the flat a little too warm even with the windows open, strange smells in the corridors and it’s the far end of the building so you have to take a lift then walk through several corridors/doors before reaching the flat. We did find a fair amount of dust on things like the wooden blinds, skirting boards the fake plants and the plant thing on the bathroom wall as well as a few cobwebs from the Ceiling. The parking space is a bonus the entrance and exit is a little tight for larger cars. I have stayed at better flat in York but it was n...more
We absolutely loved this property, the space and the location. So little to find wrong with it on that front. The only thing that could be improved upon is the cleanliness - and maintenance of small things like the cutlery draw. Although not massively dirty, we felt a bit more care and attention to deep cleaning of the carpets, ensuring crockery had been washed in the dishwasher and perhaps keeping on top of the mould build up in the bathrooms would have made this place perfect. All in all though, it was a beautiful and amazing place to stay and we hope on our next visit to York we are lucky e...more
The apartment is in a good location not far from the railway station. It has a very spacious main room which incorporates a kitchenette. The shower room is a little cramped. The main room was sparsely decorated but comfortable. I had a bit of a problem with the keysafe mainly because I was unfamiliar with them. A call to Stays York sorted that problem out. All in all I enjoyed my stay at the value for money apartment.
It was fine. Plenty of space, good parking and close to town. But, downstairs bathroom still had a leaking soil pipe, the main bed is too small and there could be more soft furnishings and lighting provided. Upstairs bathroom is very good though and street was quiet at night.
The effort made to adapt its beautiful architecture to modern needs is remarkable. In terms of aspects to improve, it would be worth considering the possibility of including a second bathroom on the first floor, access is a bit inconvenient, we had problems with the heating and the double room had rubbish under the beds.
The location was easy to get to and instructions to check in were clear. However, we felt that the accommodation itself was a little underwhelming and wasn't necessarily geared up for a stay of more than a night or two. The courtyard was dirty and covered in leaves and little apples which wasn't ideal for having a dog to stay. We decided to brush up the mess and ended up leaving the courtyard in a much better state than when we found it. The door to the courtyard doesn't fit properly and stops you from opening it fully making it difficult to bring bags in and out. We ended up not using the ...more
We had a great weekend away in York and the apartment was perfectly situated. A modern, quirky, well equipped apartment and we really enjoyed our stay.
This was the second apartment where I stayed one of two nights. The first one was in the centre of York. In the first apartment the hot water did not work. I called customer service who scheduled a plumber for that evening while we were out. When we came back we found that the problem was not fixed. No communication from the agency and it was too late for us to call since their offices where closed at that point. The following morning I called and luckily we got our apartment changed. We still spent one day without being able to take a shower and had to move. Nobody followed up on the issue...more
This is a lovely house that sleeps 6 adults in 3 lovely bedrooms and comfortable beds. However there is only one bathroom and one downstairs toilet which is not ideal. The house is well furnished and well presented. The location is excellent and the entry key pad is very useful.
Great stay, great location very comfortable apartment, everything you need is nearby, would definitely stay there again.
Apartment is located in a good spot close to everything you would want to see. It is clean and well furnished although a set of drawers for storage would be a good idea. There is a kitchenette and a wine fridge but no actual fridge (again a good addition). As would be a sink as there is room. You should not that there are 3 steep flights of stairs which make carrying a large suitcase not the easiest job in the world. All in all, no real complaints for a 2 night stay.
Overall an excellent property. Very well equipped in the kitchen area with generous worktops, good quality appliances including separate fridge and freezer, easy to use cooker and freestanding microwave. Overhead cupboards for plates etc are a bit awkward to use as they won’t stay open but that’s a minor quibble. Washer/ dryer housed in a separate cupboard is a plus point. I would have preferred a shower cubicle rather than a shower over the bath but that’s maybe an age thing. Having a separate bedroom is a real bonus. Plenty of hanging and drawer space. Mattress maybe a wee bit soft. ...more
Really pleased with my stay at The Falcon apartments. Great location, stylish, comfortable and well designed room, loved the kitchen area and very comfy bed. I would recommend to anyone visiting York for work or weekends and will stay again next time I'm in York.
Property is located in an excellent location for easy walking access into the city centre. Property looked tired in areas and needed some maintenance e.g. paint peeling off ceilings etc. Main Bed needed replacing as didn't feel secure. Very shocked not to see mattress & pillow protectors being used. Communication on Parking was confusing as some literature stated you needed a physical permit and some didn't
The property is right in the heart of the city so is a great place to easily explore all that York has to offer. There are reasonably steep stairs to the apartment and the apartment is on 3 floors. First floor has 2 bedrooms and a narrow bathroom. All of these were clean and tidy and comfortable. Door handles on some of the doors were loose and the bathroom lock could be dodgy so some simple maintenance required to make these better. 2nd floor has the lounge and kitchen areas. The lounge was comfortable and a good size but could do with a couple of extra comfortable chairs especially if more t...more
My wife and I have been staying here for a month now. The apartment, while small in area, is nevertheless extremely well appointed. Everything you need is here. It is modern, comfortable, and well furnished. The location right in the centre of York could not be better. Stays York have been wonderful and very responsive whenever we have had any queries. We would not hesitate to return here again. We think, given all of the above, 2 Lunds Court is great value for money.
We found the house cosy and comfortable for our three night stay in York. Everything we needed for a family of four. Nice furnishings and lovely view from the front bedroom. A few things could be fixed like the taps in the bathroom sink that need tightening and the side table drawers in the front bedroom that do not stay closed. The stairs took some getting used to but would consider staying here again in future.
Quiet place, beautiful views of the river and walking distance to everything. Has its own washing machine and has some amenities to be comfy and feel like home. It doesn’t have a coffee machine and drawers to store clothes
We go to York every November and always stay here. Great Location everything you need. Beds amazingly comfortable
The location of this property is excellent 5 minutes from the Minster with the Shambles just a bit further on. York is a fantastic place to visit because everything is within easy access. The cottage was good and not so good. You enter through a door which leads into a passageway then out to a garden area. This whole area could do with a tidy up and maybe a lick of paint to brighten it up. The living room, bedroom and kitchen were clean and had all the equipment needed. However what let the property down was the bathroom. The shower really needs a good deep clean as with the shower mat. Th...more
We thought this was a beautifully finished and excellently located property for a weeks city break in York, however it's just too small for a family and lacking some plastics in kitchen for children. Our boys are 13 and 10 and there was nowhere for us all to sit and watch TV on a night we there is only a 2 seater couch in the lounge (which is very uncomfortable and thin). If you have younger children you wouldn't be able to bath them as shower screen in bathroom blocks access to taps and very hard to access plug etc round it. It's really a gorgeous tiny house but only for adults. It's also ter...more
The property is in a great location with very easy access to the centre. We were expecting a sofa bed as advertised, as there were 3 of us. It is not a sofa BED it is a hard sofa that opens out but still doesn't go flat, with a ridge in the middle making it very uncomfortable to sleep on. For 2 people the place is great with nice finishings. It had been surfaced cleaned but clearly not deep cleaned for a while with cobwebs etc. and on opening the sofa flat for sleeping, there were crumbs and dirt there. Other than that the place is very nice and we would stay there again but only for 2 pe...more
Brilliant location being so close to the centre of York, easily able to walk everywhere. Cosy, well presented flat perfect for our weekend stay. Other reviews comment on road noise, it is next to the main road but I didn’t really notice the noise - unless police/ambulance sirens going by - whilst watching TV and didn’t disturb my sleep. Can’t fault this property. Had to have a look round to find the door initially as it’s not directly next to the parking space but was easy enough to locate. Overall, would definitely recommend and stay here again in the future :)
Stayed in apartment 2. Good location being in the centre, and nicely decorated small double room. However, the bed and pillows specifically were very uncomfortable leaving us with sore necks the following morning. Also the walls are thin and the outside noise from the busy main street is loud and continues late into the night. With noises also very noticeable from other apartments in the building. Overall neither satisfied or dissatisfied but our sleep was not the best.
Ideal little place for a family meet. Short walk into town. Stays were very helpful and we were allowed to check in early.
Beautifully presented accommodation in a great location which was totally spoiled by a few points. Firstly, the awful smell of drains which had been unsuccessfully camouflaged by several air fresheners throughout the apartment. Secondly, due to the fact that the basement bedroom is directly under the street, the only hope to a good nights sleep is by using ear plugs to block out the constant noise from above and a sleep mask to block out the continuous bright light coming through the glass bricks in the ceiling. Thirdly , the small terrace was nothing like the pictures, it was very damp...more
Stayed at apartment twice It needs some TLC and a deep clean needs this in between oven door Decking in poor condition and welcome pack very poor It would not take much to make this an excellent apartment Outdoor furniture was covered in bird poo when we arrived Needs more attention paid to it especially what we paid fir 8 days
The house has good amenities for a stay, with convenient proximity to bus stops to make getting around easier, as well as being close to a good supermarket and places for outdoor activities. The bathroom is a bit small and the layout could have been better planned. It would be very important to have a powerful vacuum cleaner to make it easier to keep the place clean, and it is missing a small clothes drying rack. The kitchen utensils are excellent and very beautiful.
Apartment was modern and in a great location, however there was quite a lot of noise from the upstairs neighbour. It would be nice to have a curtain on the rear patio door & bedroom window for extra privacy, especially with the bedroom being on the front ground floor room.
For two people on a short stay in York this apartment is ideal. Everything you need is on your doorstep and it's only a five minute walk to the Minster. There's a Sainsburys very close and also the Bootham Tavern which is a great pub. It opens at 10.00am for breakfast if you don't feel like cooking and became our 'away from home' local. York is a very pedestrian friendly city and easy to 'get about' in. I'd certainly stay at this apartment again next time we visit York.
We stayed here for a month. From day one we experienced problems with the cleanliness. The sheets put on the bed had a used plaster stuck to them, the replacement had a metre wide brown stain, 3rd replacement was clean. After one visit by the cleaners the sheets had been changed and the stench off them was so bad had to wash them ourselves, how they did not notice, not sure. Had to buy our own cleaning products as none in the apartment, cleaning the bath and the floors was not on the list apparently for the cleaners. We advised the floors had not been cleaned on day one, also the toilet sea...more
Thank you for rapid response and flexible arrangements I stayed 3 months at the studio and the location is perfect
