Ideal as a City Break, this newly refurbished apartment offers stunning riverside views in a peaceful, central location. Two double bedrooms, bathroom, living/dining room and separate kitchen.
Situated in a newly refurbished mill, our 2-bedroom apartment is furnished to a high standard as a home from home, with light-oak furniture and fresh linen. It offers both comfort and convenience and an outlook directly onto the river so that you can just relax and watch the boats passing by and the tourists feeding the geese and swans.
Just a short walk (5 minutes) to the busy shops and historic city centre. Walk down the famous medieval street, ‘The Shambles’ leading to the magnificent cathedral, York Minster. Visit one of the many galleries and museums including the Jorvic Centre which provides a realistic and graphic experience of what life was like during the Viking occupation.
For a different view of the city, take a river cruise or dare yourself to join the nightly Ghost Walk (suitable for children) and learn some of the grizzly secrets of York’s past.
Enjoy an evening out dining at one of the many excellent restaurants or have a pint of beer in an Olde English pub and then dance the night away at a Nightclub. There are Theatres, an Opera House and a specialist Film Theatre with programmes to suit all tastes.
Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool and even London are all reachable within a day by train. The seaside town of Scarborough is reachable in under an hour.
Unfortunately there is no on-site car-parking at the apartment but free overnight parking is available from 6pm to 8am on the riverside beneath the apartment windows (please observe the strict times). Daytime parking is possible on the neighbouring streets but there is a fee for this. Free on-street parking is possible a short distance away but this would involve a walk of about 15 minutes back to the apartment. There are, however, two bicycles available for your use, as there are pleasant cycle paths alongside the river.
My friend and I had a wonderful week. The apartment was well appointed. Comfortable, and stylish. It was just across the river from the centre of York, and it was easy to walk to all attractions. There were a couple of small grocery stores within a block of the apartment. When we were not exploring all that Edinburgh has to offer, we could watch life on the river from the lounge room and one bedroom window. As other reviewers have noted, there is some noise from the pubs over the river, but not really a significant issue- apart from reminding us of our advancing years! The owner and her cleaner made checking in very smooth. I would definitely return.
This is a really nice flat with all you need for a stay in York. The living room has great character and lovely views across the river. The bathroom is nicely fitted out and the kitchen properly equipped. You are just a short walk from the attractions of York. That centrality creates the only slight downside, which is noise from the pubs across the river on Friday and Saturday nights, but that’s city life for you! We had a great weekend.
This is a lovely property in the heart of York. Well supplied with everything you could possibly need and beautifully presented. We loved our stay, specially looking out over the river from our bedroom and lounge.
Had a wonderful stay. Convenient location. The host was ready to answer all my questions. The housekeeper was very warm n helpful. No complaints from a happy bunch here.
The apartment was clean and very well equipped. The location couldn't have been better a couple of minutes walk into the centre, a quirky local "haunted" pub opposite called the cock and bottle, no food but great beers and gin. As a disabled driver parking was fantastic as york allows you to park in any residents street parking so we parked less than 100yards away all weekend. We enjoyed the whole experience and would book again
That location was just perfect to walking into town and loads of delicious restaurants around the area. The view is spectacular and the flat was spacious with load of books tv and music system. We had absolutely no problems and had a great time! Highly recommend to stay here.
