Beautiful and comfy little cottage, just a stones throw away from York Centre. Located in a quirky area with plenty of amenities. Owner of the property went above and beyond even left us a bottle of wine and crisps. Cottage was catered to for all our needs. In addition the property offers a parking permit which saves on parking costs.

We had a wonderful stay here, it is the perfect base for exploring the city of York, situated just a stones throw away from a local high street with some fabulous spots for brunch to set you up for the day. Louise, the host, was really thoughtful and helpful during our stay and we would fully recommend the little house again and again.
