Brilliant 4-night stay in York. The three-storey house is beautiful and has everything you need. Perfectly situated near all visitor attractions. Host was super helpful too.

Fantastic location. Parking for 2 cars in city-centre York, a huge bonus. Clean and well equipped for large groups. A lovely home, cosy and warm — we absolutely loved it.

★★★★★

Three families for New Year's Eve. Only a 5-minute walk to the centre. Very clean and spacious, and came with children's chairs, toys, baby gates, travel cots and bath. Would definitely recommend.
