Guests say
The Nest in York is praised for its great location, comfortable and cosy atmosphere, and friendly hosts. Guests appreciate the property's proximity to public transport and the city centre, making it an ideal base for exploring York. While some guests mention minor issues with facilities, the overall sentiment is positive, with recommendations for families and mentions of a welcoming festive decoration during Christmas.
Cleanliness receives mixed reviews. While most guests do not comment on cleanliness, one review mentions an unpleasant odour from the kitchen appliances and a refusal to use the oven, suggesting room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for its peaceful setting, easy access to public transport, and walkability to the city centre, making it a prime spot for visitors to York.
Guests find The Nest comfortable and cosy, suitable for both families and couples. However, the mention of low sloping ceilings and a small shower area indicates that comfort may be compromised for taller individuals.
Facilities are generally adequate, with a well-equipped kitchen and cosy living space. However, some guests report issues with the toilet flush and lack of places to hang shower items, as well as the absence of an ironing board, which affects the score.
While guests express gratitude for the welcoming atmosphere and festive decorations, there is no specific mention of gifts, and therefore it is not possible to assess thoughtfulness in this context.

Great visit to York with young family. The Nest was a perfect place to stay to get in and out of York. Not far to walk however we found it easier on the bus with little ones. Nice friendly feel with safe space for kids to play out. Would highly recommend
