Housed in an elegant Georgian townhouse that’s been fully renovated by the York Conservation Trust, this bright home in the city centre is an ideal base for a couple or solo traveller looking to explore York’s historic sights. With its large windows giving way to bustling street views and its cool collection of furnishings (we particularly like the trunk TV stand), this home allows you to soak up the York living in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. You’ll love waking up in the country-style bedroom and breakfasting at the window-side table while planning the day’s events. In the evenings, cosy up on the sofa with a good film and a glass of wine, or head out to explore the restaurants, cafes and pubs right on your front door. With The Shambles (the inspiration for Harry Potter’s Diagon Alley) a nine-minute walk away, York Minister a twelve-minute stroll and the City Walls fifteen minutes away on foot, you’re perfectly positioned to get the best out of the city in comfort and style.
