1 bedroom accommodation in York

This wonderful property is within walking distance of the shambles, take a cruise on the River Ouse or stroll around the city walls.. 1 step to entrance.

All on the Ground Floor:

Living/dining room: 32" Smart TV

Kitchen: Electric Oven, Induction Hob, Microwave, Fridge, Freezer

Bedroom: Double (4ft 6in) Bed, French Doors To Patio

Wet Room: Shower, Toilet. Gas underfloor central heating, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Welcome pack. Laundry with washing machine (shared with other property on-site).. Small courtyard with sitting-out area and garden furniture. Public car park, at cost. No smoking.. With an enviable position opposite the historic city walls and with stunning views of York Minster, this one bedroom ground floor apartment is within a 300 year old town house, just a stone’s throw from the city centre and the perfect choice to enjoy a city break. Step outside and this wonderful city is there for your enjoyment. Upon entering the property there is a York stone flag entrance hall. The entrance to the apartment is to the left and takes you straight into the living/dining room which provides lovely views across to York Minster. To the rear of the property is a galley style kitchen with Velux windows and with a wet room behind. Across the hall is the double bedroom with French doors leading to the outside patio, which is a welcome addition to this city centre property, providing an area to enjoy an afternoon drink whilst planning the next day’s activities or the opportunity to dine al fresco.

With access to over 2 miles of York’s medieval city walls, a maze of snickelways and ginnels, world renowned attractions and a plethora of great shops, cafés and restaurants only a short stroll from the front door, you won’t be able to wait to explore this wonderful city. York is fast gaining a reputation as one of the UK’s foodie capitals and you can find some seriously great food, and even better tipples brewed within the city. Why not take a break from walking around the city and see the view from one of the open top tour buses or sail slowly along the River Ouse on a cruise boat. Whether your interest is in the large trains on display at the National Railway Museum, the history of the chocolate industry in York at York’s Chocolate Story or of marauding Vikings and invading Romans, York has something for everyone. A little further out of the city you can find Castle Howard, one of the UK’s finest stately homes, the Yorkshire Air Museum and Eden Camp. Shop 400 yards, pub 100 yards, restaurant 200 yards.

Oxtoby’s Downstairs can be booked together with Oxtoby’s Upstairs (ref UK11705) and Biggan Mews (ref E3692, located 150 yards away) to accommodate up to 8 guests.

Lovely in all aspects. So nice to sit in the sunny garden with a glass of Champagne. And a rainfall shower in nicely done shower room. Beautiful tulips on the lounge table. And a pint of milk in the fridge. Perfect for us (a couple for a long weekend).

This is a lovely cottage in a very good location.

This is a lovely cottage in a very good location. Short walk into town. It has everything you need and the owner has even put the essentials in like coffee, tea, milk and toilet paper. A nice touch were the flowers! We found the wet room a bit of a challenge. We found it difficult to get the bathroom floor dry for the next person, but the shower was lovely. Comfy chairs in the lounge and a big enough table to play board games on!

Loved it in this apartment, right size in good venue. Shower drainage very slow and poor. No ventiation in bedroom except if you leave dble doors open but then security becomes a problem. Very well decorated and other than these two issues couldn't fault the apartment.

Perfect city break

This lovely little apartment is in a perfect location facing the city wall and York minster. It has only recently been converted into holiday accommodation and the decor and furnishings are lovely quality and in very good condition. It has been very thoughtfully equipped and we had everything we needed to make us feel comfortable and at home. We thought it was a perfect base to spend a few days exploring this interesting and beautiful city, and within easy walking distance of a huge choice of places to eat and drink. Our hosts came to meet us on arrival, and all of our communication with them was friendly, informative and helpful. Many thanks.

It was excellent accommodation in a excellent location and It was better value than staying in a nice hotel. It has everything you could possibly need including WiFi, smart tv, laundry room, iron & ironing board. It has a nice lounge with good views of the cathedral and city wall, bedroom is comfortable, nice patio with table and chairs, kitchen is well laid out and the shower room is excellent. We highly recommend it.
