This homely apartment, with a fantastic burst of lemon yellow to brighten up grey mornings, is well-placed for exploring York’s best bits. There’s nothing quite like waking up to views of the historic Minster but before you take a closer look, find the comfiest spot on the squashy leather sofa and relax a while. When hunger strikes, the kitchenette is well-equipped for knocking up your favourite dishes – though if you’d prefer to hang up your chef’s hat, you’re no more than a ten-minute walk from a clamour of restaurants. Start your York adventure at the famous cathedral, just four minutes from your doorstep. From here, take the seven-minute saunter to the Shambles where crooked and characterful alleyways lay claim to a number of quirky independent shops and cafes. Once evening falls, embark on a spooky ghost hunt or quench your thirst with a well-deserved craft cocktail in a cutting-edge bar.
