From the city walls to the charming shopping street known as The Shambles, York has something for everybody. There are various cruises available down the river Ouse and visitors can enjoy the National Railway Museum, the Castle Museum and Betty's Tea Rooms â home of Yorkshire Tea and an incredibly unique mirror from the Second World War on which service men visiting the café could write their names with a diamond-tipped âpen'. Further afield are the Yorkshire Dales and Moors as well as the coastal resorts of Scarborough, Whitby and Filey, making this an incredibly diverse destination.

The property was so warm and cozy. Spacious throughout, spotless, each bedroom with its own on suite. Furnishings were lovely, well stocked kitchen with crockery, glassware and cutlery .We had read in previous reviews that the property was not decorated for Christmas so brought along our own tree, lots of games, video's and jigsaws , No wi fi but that was stated clearly on the information. so no worries there. All the family loved it, so much to do in the surrounding area. . Would recommend for a family get together The property sleeps 6 . My husband and I, my sister from the states and an Aunt . Daughter and her husband, who swopped halfway through with our other daughter and her husband. A perfect Christmas break. Many Thanks

We chose this cottage as my mum canât manage stairs so had the downstairs bedroom. This only has a bath which she couldnât use. It would have made more sense to have a shower with this room to suit a disabled person. It was a good location for exploring by car, but too remote to go anywhere on foot. Main B road at end of the long drive had no footpaths, Stamford Bridge about 1.5 miles away. Property was adequate for our needs. Not as well equipped as others we have stayed in. As it sleeps 6 Iâd expect to find at least 6 of everything in the kitchen, but I think there have been some loses over the years that havenât been replaced. Tea towels, dishwasher tabs & toilet rolls etc were all available. Hand towels in the bathrooms would be appreciated as once weâd packed to leave we had nothing to dry hands on. Our phoneâs data allowances saw us through for internet access which is often needed on holiday to book tickets etc. we were glad there was good signal after reading no WiFi at the property. Beds are not very comfy (hard) and pillows as flat as pancakes! No spares in the wardrobes. No trouser hangers either amongst the collection of free plastic shop hangers!. That made the place feel cheap! Upstairs bedrooms are compact & donât have much, if any windows to the outside, so can feel stuffy. No fans provided, glad we werenât staying in very hot weather. Generally clean, some dusty spots where you canât see!
