Positioned waterside, just five minutes from the centre of York, this sumptuous apartment resides within the old Rowntree Wharf Factory where the famous Rowntree family produced chocolate. Now completely renovated, the building still features its original exterior architecture with red brick and mullion windows. Perched on the waterfront the apartment is in a beautiful setting from which to discover even more historic beauty that adorns York's town centre. Inside, luxurious furnishings with deep purples, gold and yellows present a relaxing space to cosy up in after a day of discovering the city. Offering an idyllic spot to a solo traveller or a couple on a weekend away, enjoy a luxury hotel-like experience with the added privacy of having your own kitchen for homemade meals in or cosy nights at home with a bottle of wine. Lap up the best of York by following the walkway along the river until you reach the centre. With so many eateries, cafes, boutiques and historic buildings to discover, you certainly won't be short of things to do in this picturesque city. Don't miss the must-see monuments of York Minster and the National Railway Museum – both around a fifteen-minute walk away from the apartment.
