Explore York with ease from this cosy, fuss-free home. Just a ten-minute stroll from the city centre, you’ll have historic streets, famous sights, and riverside walks all within reach. Inside, you’ll feel at home thanks to the snug living room and well-equipped kitchen. The modern bathroom is downstairs, which might not suit everyone, and we think it's a little compact in places, though it has everything for a relaxed stay. There’s even a small backyard for morning coffees. All in all, it’s a convenient, welcoming base for exploring this historic city.
