Guests say

The Cart House in York receives high praise for its quality build, superb fixtures, and cleanliness, with a secure garden ideal for pets. While some guests found the beds small and uncomfortable, the property is well-equipped, spacious, and located in a peaceful yet central market town, perfect for exploring local attractions.

Guests consistently note the property's exceptional cleanliness, even in hidden areas, suggesting a well-maintained and cared-for cottage.

The central location in a lovely market town, with proximity to moors, seaside, and historical sites, is highly appreciated by guests, contributing to a peaceful and convenient stay.

While the property is praised for its spaciousness and comfortable chairs, some guests mention the beds being too small and uncomfortable, which affects the comfort score.

The property is celebrated for being well-equipped with a brilliant shower and ample supplies. However, minor issues like the number of light switches and limited showers slightly impact the score.

There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owner, so this category cannot be scored.

    What a lovely property, quality build with superb internal fixtures and fittings. Confused at the number of light switches. Unfortunately, we didn't find the bed very comfortable and small for king size (personal taste) the quilt heavy and pillows hard, which affected our sleep.Despite the bed issue, the whole property was exceptional. The garden perfect and secure for our little dog.We very much hope to come back as soon as we can
