"The very best thing about this home is the location - it was so close to everything. We could walk everywhere we wanted to go. We loved sitting in the little courtyard. The owner left excellent instructions on how to operate the windows, etc. Would prefer to communicate directly with the owner, but Pass the Keys did a good job of responding."

The Milner York

The Milner York

6/10 Okay
"We’d planned this special trip for a while and so were very disappointed to see the spa closed during our stay and we were given quite a ‘tired’ room down in the basement, which felt isolated from the main hotel. Overall a very underwhelming visit."
