Entire 2-Bedroom House. Walkable to city centre

Welcome to our traditional cottage. Recently redecorated and comfortably furnished, it is located just off pretty Clifton Green with its independent tea & cake shop, butcher, supermarket and chemist. Only 5 minutes walk to the river and 15 minutes walk from Bootham Bar (city gate) with its cobbled streets, range of historic pubs and shops, and the famous York Minster.

There is on-street parking in front of the house. We can arrange on-street parking permits for you from the council at £7 per day. Or there is free parking just two minutes' walk from the house.

About our house:
- Full of period features including original fireplaces.
- Furnished extremely comfortably, with good-sized beds.
- Separate living room with two sofas, flatscreen TV, DVD player, books and games.
- Separate dining room with dedicated work / desk area.
- Pretty courtyard garden that is a sun trap in the afternoon and evening.
- Fully equipped kitchen with all the utensils, crockery, glasses, pots and pans you'll ever need (we think!) as well as a kettle, toaster, microwave and other amenities.
- Bathroom toiletries, towels, bed linen etc all provided.
- Free unlimited WIFI throughout the house.

The neighbourhood:
- Clifton Green is a very pretty piece of parkland, surrounded by some beautiful houses and amenities - including a supermarket (open 7am to 11pm), an independent butcher, a beautiful independent coffee and cake shop, a Boots chemist, pubs and so much more!
- It is a very peaceful area, yet is only a pleasant 10-15 minute walk down a road lined with historic buildings before you are at the city walls and gate. Here you can find St Mary's Abbey and Museum Gardens, a cobbled area lined with historic pubs and shops, and a further 5 minute walk to the famous (and rather impressive) York Minster.
- Alternatively, it is less than 5 minutes walk from our home to the River Ouse - you can walk along the river bank into town (a stunning walk on a beautiful day or evening).
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.

Great stay
We spent 2 nights in York and were very happy with the accommodation. Communication with Stuart was excellent and we appreciated his recommendations, sent to us just after booking, of places to eat and things to do. Having them in advance allowed us time to plan our stay better. Check in was very easy and we found the house and places to park easily. We walked into York on a couple of occasions and times given by Stuart were accurate. The Spar at the end of the street was very convenient. There was plenty of space for our group of 3 and there were more than enough utensils, crockery etc. A great stay. Thank you Stuart and Faisal

Lovely cosy property close to city centre
We found the property very easily and the off road free parking round the corner, thanks to very good directions. The house was perfect for us. It was very clean and well equipped. The bed was super comfy and nice big TV. It was just a ten minute walk into the City Centre in a straight line - couldn't be easier. Little Spar on the corner for essentials and newspapers in the morning. Nice pub just over the road. After a busy day trekking round York we found the cottage very comfy to come home to. Thank you very much.

Lovely stay in York
We really enjoyed York and Stuart's place was perfect for us. Cozy yet updated. Little extras were appreciated (and eaten/drank!). Enjoyed having the small courtyard out back for coffee each morning. We had a rented car, so had been a bit concerned about finding a spot to park with the parking rules in York. We didn't have any issues, though, parking a block down in some free spaces next to the Old Grey Mare pub on Compton as Stuart had suggested. He also said he would get us a pass if we had needed it, so all bases were covered. It's about a 3/4 mile walk to the gates of town, but very pleasant street to amble to/from town after a day of sightseeing. There is a small breakfast/lunch place, a sweets shop, and the pub at the end of the street if you don't head into town. Only wish we had another day or two to explore the area. York was great. We will be back.

Lovely short stay for a celebration weekend
My sister and I stayed here for a double celebration weekend. The place was spotlessly clean. We did not opt for the parking permit on the same street that Stuart kindly offered to get for us but it was very easy to park nearby and leave the car there during our stay. Excellent location, great welcome pack after a long journey, comfy beds, great shower and bath, and well stocked kitchen. Cooking pans could do with being updated. Neighbours were a bit noisy both evenings but nothing untoward. Excellent communication from Stuart and Faisal. Would recommend for adults but not for those with young children.

Location is great, lovely walk into the city, lots to see each time, buildings are beautiful. So much to see and do we will return and stay here again. Communication with Stuart was exceptional.So helpful with all the information of places to visit, things to do, where to eat and which way to walk. This was super helpful.

A lovely, comfortable house in a quiet road.
We had a great stay in this house. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The wine, milk etc were a lovely addition. We needed to contact the owner with some issues of our own making- (lost key 🙄 Lesson learnt and parking permits for a second car) Stuart was super helpful and understanding. Great communication right from booking.

Fantastic location and a very clean and well presented property. Stuart the owner was very helpful when we phoned and there was a welcome pack of milk,wine and biscuits on our arrival. Stuart also sorted out some car parking passes which allowed us to leave the car outside the property while we walked the 15mins into York town centre.

Lovely property in a great location, a great distance from the town centre which was a gentle stroll away. Stuart the owner was easily contactable and gave a really comprehensive list of places he recommended…So pleased we ate at La Vecchia Scuola and a lovely treat for when we arrived. Only downside was the noisy neighbours but not much can be done about that!
