Bursting with character, this home is a truly unique place to stay in the historic city of York. With plenty of inside space, and the added bonus of a brilliant outdoor area, it's a wonderful spot to spend a long weekend or more. The house retains many of its original features, from the high ceilings and wooden floors to the big bay window with its charming shutters. On chilly evenings, you can curl up next to the wood-burning stove and enjoy some local snacks from the welcome hamper kindly provided by your host. The stylish royal blue dining room is ideal for long, lavish dinners, and on sunny days you might prefer to fire up the barbeque for an alfresco feast. And, if you fancy a nightcap, your host has even set up a tiki bar in the garden – cheers to that. From here, you just need to cross the River Ouse to arrive at York's bustling city centre. Indulge in some retail therapy in the independent boutiques on The Shambles, one of the most unique shopping streets in the country – it's just twelve minutes away. Afterwards, pop over to the impressive York Minster and stroll through the Museum Gardens before enjoying a pint of local ale in one of the nearby pubs.

About York City Centre
One of England's most important cultural hubs since it was founded in 71 AD, the fascinating city of York offers quaint charm and modern magnificence in equal measure. Here, cobblestone streets lead to contemporary art galleries, and wattle and daub houses hold trendy craft beer bars.
