This chic apartment puts you right inside the walls of York’s medieval city, which is precisely where you’ll want to be for a stay in this awe-inspiring city. Getting out and about is a cinch here. Follow the warren of historical streets that lead from your doorstep to all the city’s historical hotspots, including York Minister (twelve minutes on foot), or hop over the River Floss to York Castle (six minutes on foot). When thoughts turn to food, you’ll be spoilt for choice with all the bustling restaurants, traditional pubs, and charming tea rooms you could muster. And no visit to York would be complete without a fat rascal scone from Betty’s Café Tea Rooms (just nine minutes on foot). When your legs are weary, and tummies are full, head on back to the apartment – it won’t disappoint. An interior designer’s dream, the space is awash with luxurious finishes, statement lighting, and all the modern comforts you could need. The piece de resistance? A huge king-sized bedroom worthy of any boutique hotel, with snow-white, crisp linens, floor-to-ceiling windows, and those all-important black-out blinds ready to be drawn when it’s time to bank a peaceful night’s sleep.
