This home offers a cosy city sanctuary just outside of York’s historic centre. Located in the quiet neighbourhood of Bootham, this is a great spot for families and groups in search of a home away from home. The rooms are set across three floors so there’s plenty of space to socialise and unwind. All of the bedrooms come with en-suite bathrooms for extra privacy and there’s a little yard for warm weather drinks. Parking is available so you can leave the car at home and walk to local restaurants, cafes and shops as well as iconic sights like York Minster and Shambles Market.
