This riverside apartment nestled within the historic walls of York city is about as chic as it comes. Feedback from guests regarding this home has never been short of outstanding, and it’s easy to see why. Part of an exclusive apartment building perched alongside the River Floss, there’s a feeling of luxury from the moment you step foot inside the elegant foyer. Inside, expect spotless interiors with luxurious, quality finishes. In the summer months, open the windows wide and let the light stream in through those floor-to-ceiling windows. While in winter months, the deep, plush sofa is perfect for crashing out with some Netflix – and the underfloor heating keeps things nice and toasty. In the sleek, modern kitchen, you’ll find all the mod cons you could need for whipping up a meal. Or keep things simple and mosey into your neighbourhood’s warren of medieval streets where you find bustling restaurants, cafes, and traditional pubs. And there’s no finer place to start than at Betty’s Café Tea Rooms, just nine minutes on foot. Don’t forget to leave with a fat rascal scone, or better still, a box of four. You’ll need the fuel to gallivant about this city jam-packed with heritage - and your first stop has to be the awe-inspiring York Minster, just twelve minutes from your door.
