Nicely located for easy trips into York and Selby with regular busses stopping a couple of minutes walk away. The mattresses on the beds weren't quite to our liking but that could just be personal preference! Would definitely book again if travelling to York or surrounding areas.

35 mins on the bus from across the road.Local shop 10 mins walk. Lovely house. Just query that the downstairs bedroom for a person with mobility issues could have a wet room shower or general shower in the downstairs toilet area. Plus lighting could be brighter in the lounge and downstairs bedroom. For our family though it was perfect.
