We've enjoyed another lovely stay at The Old Bike Store. It's ideally placed within a 15 minute walking distance from the city centre and the designated parking space is a huge bonus.The property is very clean and well appointed and the private courtyard is really nice.The communication from the owners was excellent, and it was reassuring to know they were on hand to answer any queries we had.We'll certainly hope to return to this property and to visit the lovely city of York with all its attractions.Many thanks for such an enjoyable week đ
