9.3Verified guest“Spent a weekend here and the location couldn't be better – right by Micklegate and within easy walking distance of Shambles and the station. The kitchen had everything we needed, the bathrooms were spotless, and the beds were lovely. The main bedroom, kitchen, and lounge felt generous in size. Plenty of pubs and restaurants nearby, and the house itself was clean, comfortable, and very well equipped.”
9.3Verified guest“The setting was incredible – just off Micklegate, only ten minutes on foot to Shambles and very close to the station. The kitchen was fully kitted out and the bathrooms were immaculate. Beds were comfy and the main bedroom, kitchen, and living space were all a good size. The only slight drawback was the smaller double room being a little tight. A brilliant range of bars and restaurants around, and the independent coffee shops were a nice touch. Bedrooms had plenty of storage, and the historic building felt stylish inside. Everything we needed for a great stay – free Wi-Fi, kettle, cookware, and a flat-screen TV were all there. A fantastic visit.”
