Head out to discover the many fabulous restaurants, bars and boutiques of York, just a twenty-minute walk away.

Beyond the centre of York, from here, you'll also be well located to uncover the scenic Yorkshire Dales, North York Moors and Wolds for long country walks among nature. 





The Historian's Alcove 

Pretty and pocket-sized, this studio apartment is the perfect base for a couple to rest their feet during a stay in York. Although it's an all-in-one living area, the space doesn't feel cramped. Between the cosy bed, fuzzy armchairs in the window and the bar-style table, you'll have options to rest your feet. We love the modern kitchen – it has everything you'll need to rustle up home-cooked dinners – and the bathroom is sleek and stylish with a lavish rainfall shower that feels like heaven after a long day. Most of all, we adore the location. Just a five-minute walk away are the Gothic spires of York Minster, while the historic city centre and the famous Shambles Market are reachable in ten. Restaurants, cafes, gastropubs and old-world taverns are all a stone's throw away. Whether you're a history buff, culture vulture or simply keen on exploring, you've got plenty of options to tickle your fancy. 

Pink Gothic

This stylish studio is just a stone's throw from the centre of the picturesque city of York. Your hosts employed the services of interior designers to maximise the available space, creating a contemporary and clutter-free home where everything has its place. The open-plan space is topped off with a wall-mounted TV that's best enjoyed from bed – we challenge you to stay awake through even the most gripping thriller. The apartment also benefits from access to a lovely L-shaped outdoor courtyard with a hanging chair that's perfect for lazy afternoons reading outdoors in the sunshine. From your central location, even the furthest reaches of York city centre are no more than a fifteen-minute walk away, while the majority is just a five-minute stroll. Be sure to marvel at the magnificent York Minster, stride along The Shambles, and while away an afternoon or two in its many art galleries and museums.

Effervescing Elephant

Housed in a Grade II listed Georgian house dating back to 1901, this second-floor apartment may require a bit of climb to reach, but the views of York Minster and the ancient city walls are certainly worth it. Contemporary decor and an electric fireplace complete the snug living area, and access to the communal walled garden – also seen from the apartment – is a nice touch. Free on-site parking makes wider exploring a breeze, but you’ll find all of York’s main sights easily reachable on foot from this central spot, including York Minster, York City Walls and The Shambles. 


Minster Mine

The stereotype linked to those from Yorkshire is that they're a straightforward bunch of people and they aren't afraid to say it how it is. This apartment in the centre of York is similarly no-nonsense and will ensure guests have a hitchless time in this idyllic part of England. The design is simple but effectively so, with the neutral palette of greys and whites livened up by the occasional burst of burnt orange. There's a fireplace to gather around on those chillier evenings, while the mirrored doors on the bedroom wardrobe will make it easy to get ready ahead of an evening out. Located four minutes' walk from the York City Walls, many of the main attractions are equally easy to reach. The cathedral is less than ten minutes away on foot, while the castle takes fifteen.

The Grand Old Duke

This luxurious apartment, close to the city's historic centre, has everything you could need for a romantic weekend getaway. It's beautifully furnished, with warm grey tones throughout and bright pops of colour, courtesy of the blue velvet sofa and chair. The vast leather-covered corner seat by the dining table is a standout feature, as are the skylights, which ensure plenty of natural light illuminates this loft-style living space. A high table and stool have been thoughtfully placed by the window so that you can enjoy wonderful views across the Minster Gardens with an afternoon cup of tea. The cosy bedroom has plenty of storage for unpacking your belongings, plus a dreamy king-size bed and a lovely dressing area – perfect for getting ready for a night on the tiles. And when you're not experiencing the best of York's eclectic nightlife, you're less than a five-minute stroll from the iconic York Minster and half a mile from the city walls.

Destination York

If you’re in York for culture, history, and plenty of pub trips, then this home couldn’t be any more perfectly placed. You’ll be living a two-minute walk from York Minster, and just three from the Theatre Royal, York Art Gallery, and the watering holes of Stonegate. This ancient street, where the house is located, was once the medieval route into the city from the north. But today, it’s your route to luxe living in the city centre. A former jewellery shop, the quaint brick building still has quirky features and a creative soul. As soon as you step inside, the striking decor is sure to capture your imagination. Floor tiles with a star pattern give the space a Moorish vibe, an exposed brick alcove shows how the home has retained traditional architecture, but then modern elements such as the charcoal-grey kitchen cabinets bring you back to the 21st-century. Up in the bedroom, a funky, plant-patterned feature wall sits in another stairway alcove, and a bright-red velvet headboard brings a regal edge to proceedings. Pour a glass of champagne, open the sash window and peer out at the awe-inspiring views of the spires of York Minster.

The Jeweller's

This smart, modern apartment couldn't be better placed for exploring York – tucked away in a quiet spot but just a five-minute walk from the many shops, restaurants and major attractions. Set on the ground floor, with its own entrance, it's a great base that's been designed with easy living in mind. Unfussy and practical, you can just unpack and slip straight into life in this historic city. 

Fresh and contemporary, the sociable, open-plan living space has three windows to the street, allowing plenty of natural light in, and there's a comfy green sofa just for two in front of the TV. Cook at home in the well-kitted-out kitchen and eat at the dining table with lemon yellow seats. Topped off with a cosy bedroom and a stylish shower room, this home is perfect for couples or solo travellers. Best of all you can be in York's famous Shambles in around ten minutes on foot.

Little Maidenhair

This home might be petite, but it has everything you need for a fabulous stay in York. Just a stone's throw away from the city centre, it's a great place to begin your adventures and unwind in style. 

Step inside, and you'll find a comfy living room complete with cheerful pops of colour and a squashy sofa. The open-plan set-up makes it easy to spend quality time together if you're visiting with your partner – open a bottle of wine and chat while you cook your favourite dishes together. There's even a private courtyard, so you can round off your evening with a nightcap in the fresh air. And, the chic bedroom promises a great night's sleep – you'll love the high ceilings and statement light fixtures.

York's historic city walls are a seven-minute stroll away, and will help you to navigate the area. The famous cathedral, York Minster, is a twelve-minute walk away, along with York Art Gallery and the Museum Gardens. And, if some retail therapy is in order, then head for the Shambles – it's one of the most unique shopping streets in the UK. 

City Walls

Welcome to our quiet, cosy terraced home in York. Our beautiful 2 bedroom house is the perfect way to explore the city and escape all the crowds after a busy day exploring. This beautiful property has been stylishly finished with comfort in mind and comes with free on street parking and lots of open space inside.

Located a short 10 minute walk from the city centre, this home provides the perfect base for groups and families of up to 4 people to enjoy this magnificent city.

This beautiful home away from home has been decorated to a very high standard with modern but cosy fixtures and fittings throughout.

The house opens into the living room which has been recently redecorated with a gorgeous, comfortable sofa and new TV. There is plenty of space to relax after a long day exploring this wonderful city.

Moving through the house brings guests into the kitchen/dining room. The kitchen has been stocked to provide everything guests need for a comfortable stay and the dining room can seat 4 people. Beyond, guests will find the sink, along with washing machine and fridge freezer.

At the end of the hallway you will find a new, beautifully fitted bathroom with shower.

Vintage Terrace Retreat

You'll find this cosy home only a fifteen-minute walk from the majestic York Minster. It's tucked away on a quiet street lined with pretty cottages, with the restaurants, pubs and shops in the city centre just a short stroll away. Open the front door and step into the charming living room. We love the repurposed fireplace – now a decorative statement piece – and the sheer amount of light spilling through the windows. Kick-off your shoes and snuggle up on the squishy sofa, watching your favourite films – the host provides complimentary Netflix and Amazon Prime accounts, so you'll have plenty of options. Come dinnertime, pad into the country-style kitchen and rustle up a meal – it's stocked with cookware and cutlery to make cooking a breeze. On sunny days, take your fare into the lovely courtyard and dine alfresco. Although it's small, we think the wisteria-covered walls and pretty flowerboxes turn it into a tranquil, whimsical space to unwind with a glass of wine as the day slowly draws to a close.

On The Brownlow

Located on a quiet road just a stone's throw from York’s bustling city centre, this stylish apartment is a wonderful choice for a family or friends’ getaway. With a chic interior, suntrap balcony, and well-equipped kitchen, there’s everything you need for a comfortable stay.

We love how sleek and contemporary this home is, and the harmonious colour palette of mustard and dark grey makes it clear a lot of thought went into designing this city pad. It might be chic, but it’s still wonderfully homely. Whether you’re watching the TV on the plush sofa, savouring a coffee on your balcony, tucking into dinner around the dining table, or reading a book in your cosy bed, you’ll feel right at home. 

Not only is the apartment beautiful, but it’s also in a fantastic location. Nestled in a residential area but just a short walk from the city centre, you get the best of both worlds. You’ll love exploring the famous Roman walls, the Georgian architecture, and trying to tick off as many of the thirty museums as possible. If you fancy a break from the city, the Yorkshire Dales are within easy reach for long, windy walks in the countryside. However you spend the day, you’ll be glad to come home to your apartment. Take a bottle of wine to the balcony to catch the last of the afternoon sun, before heading out to discover York’s excellent culinary scene.
