Situated in a sustainably-built apartment complex in the heart of York's city centre, this flat is an excellent option for couples or solo travellers. With all of the historical sights and cultural attractions within walking distance – including Shambles Market, York Art Gallery, and of course, the iconic York Minster – location-wise, you can't get much better. There's an array of cosy pubs, trendy bars, local eateries and independent coffee shops just a stone's throw away, but if you'd rather a home-cooked meal come dinnertime, the fully-equipped kitchen is stocked with crockery. On chilled nights at home, curl up and read in the velvet armchair – your host has a small collection of well-loved books to choose from – or sprawl out on the sofa and watch a film on the smart TV. We love all the extra touches, from the quaint welcome hamper and luxurious rainfall shower to the on-site bike storage for keen cyclists. Plus, with parquet flooring, vibrant furniture and chich decorations, the apartment is bright, modern and super stylish. It's an ideal place to call home during a stay in York.

About North Yorkshire
England’s largest ceremonial county, almost half of North Yorkshire is covered in National Parkland. The wild hinterland of the North Yorkshire Moors can be discovered on foot over meandering paths, or from the comfort of a Victorian carriage on a vintage steam train. The Yorkshire Dales National Park is more green and undulating with grey stone villages dotting the hillside and fields and fells stretching to the horizon. Between the...
