About Nigel Smith

My wife and I are both professionals and currently live in the USA. We have four boys and Blake Mews is our holiday home in the UK. We only get to use it a couple of weeks per year so we hope you enjoy it!

Nigel Smith purchased this townhome in 2007
Why Nigel Smith chose York

An award winning small development in the heart of this historic city with views of York Minster. For overseas visitors, York is a great base from which to explore the UK with London and Edinburgh readily accessible by direct trains (just 2 hours to London).

Leave the car at home and enjoy a break in this lively city. Blake Mews is a modern town house that was developed to a high standard in 2007. The mews is safe and secure but in the center of town.

Linens etc. are provided. The kitchen is well equipped but with all of York's restaurants and bars so close at hand you may never use it.

Fantastic location for a weekend break or holiday with older children. Property sleeps 4 adults and 4 children in a bunk room.

Winner of York Design Awards, 2008.

Luxury getaway in the heart of historic York

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Mar 3, 2013
  • Stayed: Feb 2013
Tucked away in the heart of York and only a very short walk from museums, the Minster and the Shambles, Blake Mews is in the perfect location for a long weekend away. We didn't get into the car for 3 days - bliss.
The facilities are extremely well thought through with every need catered for and the accommodation is modern and comfortable. The children loved the double bunk bed room, complete with twinkling ceiling lights. I loved the spectacular view of the Minster from the master bedroom window and the fact that everything was right on the doorstep.
I would highly recommend Blake Mews to couples and families alike.

York is a great city, accommodations fantastic

  • Submitted: Oct 11, 2012
  • Stayed: Aug 2012
York is a great city and the historic walled city remains. The accommodations were in the heart of the old walled city, a modern updated townhouse on a historic mews.

About a block away is a historic cathedral that is the largest in northern England and was completed around 1400 after 200 years of work. We went there every evening for evening song at 5 pm. The songs were sung by a boys and girls
choir and took about 40 minutes - a great way to end the day.

The location is great to see the historic city, walk of the walls of the walled
city, etc.. Numerous good restaurants are within a 5 minute walk. The surrounding country side is fantastic, and the highlight was Castle Howard where "Brideshead Revisited" was filmed.

The perfect luxury oasis in shadow of York Minster

  • Submitted: Oct 8, 2012
  • Stayed: Apr 2012
Blake Mews provided a serene,luxury home base for a long weekend in York. While the home is smack-dab in the middle of the hustle and bustle of York, once you enter its private gates you'd never know there's a busy city surrounding you. This very upscale home lacks for nothing. Tons of light, modern yet comfortable furnishings, every need has been anticipated and addressed. Private garage, washer/dryer, luxury linens, and the best-of-the best audio and video capabilities and equipment would satisfy the most demanding of guests. High-end kitchen features, appliances, and equipment were a cook's delight. Guests should be comfortable with stairs, as the house has a vertical layout.

My very favorite part was the stunning view of the Cathedral, which appears larger than life from the master bedroom's large windows. The house manager was readily available and handled any request quickly and efficiently. I cannot wait to return to York, partially because it's a quaint, entertaining town with tons of history, but mostly because I dream of another luxury getaway to Blake Mews.

Great location and wonderful view of York Minster

  • Submitted: Oct 8, 2012
  • Stayed: Jul 2012
My son and I spent 3 days at Blake Mews in late July 2012 and were delighted with all aspects of our stay. As a central location for York itself and a hub for travelling either to the Yorkshire Dales or North Yorkshire Moors it is ideal. The mews house is over three floors and very well appointed with every mod con you could have and with a main bedroom with a balcony with a wonderful view of York Minster. The concierge service on our arrival as well as during our stay was invaluable and I would thoroughly recommend Blake Mews for a family break or a longer stay.
