14 Cloisters Walk

Lovely, ideally situated house with parking. We visit every year, after trying many others in York. Perfect.

We have stayed at this property numerous times and won’t stay anywhere else in York. It like home from home. Dawn is wonderful keeping house in tip top condition, especially with this awful pandemic.We didn’t expect welcome pack because of Covid but imagine our surprise when we saw all lovely goodies, especially the cake. So nice not to have to go out and get few bits in from supermarket upon arrival. Location is excellent too. We can leave car in one of two spaces provided and wander into York at night or day as only 5 minutes walk into city centre.

14 Cloisters Walk is the perfect place to stay in York for us. It was spotlessly clean, has 2 dedicated car parking spaces and patio garden at the rear with outdoor seating. The location directly s opposite the city walls and a minutes walk from the Monksgate entrance into the inner city, the Minster being no more than 5 minutes away with lots of places to eat just inside the city walls. The owner Dawn is the most pleasant and helpful host and could not do enough to make our stay very welcoming, even with social distancing restrictions. In addition, Dawn left a number of 'goodies' for us, the lemon cake and brownies being particularly good. Without doubt this will be our first choice of self catering accommodation for us the next time we visit York, hopefully in the not to distant future. Thanks for everything Dawn, just wish we could have stayed longer.

A lovely comfortable house in excellent location with car parking. Friendly and helpful owner. The house has all the facilities needed for wet or dry weather. Sleeps 4 in two comfy double beds. We have been before and will be booking again.

Rented this for a couple of months between house moves and it was excellent. Dawn, the owner, was very accommodating and checked regularly that everything was good. It was. The house has everything you need and more and is in a great location for walking into the city centre (5 minute walk to the Minster) and has two private parking places which is exceptional for York! Sainsbury’s is also only 5 minute walk away too - perfect. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends too.

We've been to 14 Cloisters Walk several times and it feels like a home from home. It is very comfortable and Dawn leaves it thoroughly spotless and smelling lovely. The bathroom is sparkling! Dawn also, very generously, leaves edible goodies in the kitchen so you could have a nice cold lunch before you go out to choose a restaurant for dinner. The location is very good. There is a Sainsbury close by and the house is only a very short walk to the Minster. And then just a few minutes to our many favourite restaurants. Over the years we have stayed in some other properties but since finding Dawn's little house we can't think of going anywhere else. We love everything about it.

We come every year to York from Somerset for Christmas shopping. It is a wonderful place to shop with a great Christmas atmosphere. We have stayed at 14 Cloisters Walk for many years now. Dawn is a wonderful host making sure every comfort is catered for with a bubbly enthusiasm, always making us welcome with an ever surprising welcome pack. The house is in a perfect position just outside the city walls so that we can keep going back to drop off our shopping before going back for more. It is always in excellent condition and I think the only thing that could improve it is if it was snowing whilst we are there! We will be back again next year.

“My dearest Sandra, David and Keri, thank you ever so much for your lovely review, you are too kind truly. It is always such a pleasure for me to welcome you all back year after year. We were trying to think last week weren’t we how long it actually has been and I have worked it out that you have been coming to visit my “Little House” for the last 6 years?!?! It must be the home baked cakes hee hee and my own mince pies this time as when I popped in to Thomas the Bakers for you this year they had sold out – how scandalous of them?!?! Hee Hee!!! Absolutely thrilled to bits that you have all enjoyed your stay here with us in York – not to mention all that Christmas Shopping you do well to pack it all in the car David. Next time I will endeavour to look out for and hire a snow machine for you so that you feel extra Christmassy. Here’s to welcoming you back for future years and festive visits to come and of course the biggest Yorkshire Group Hug goes without saying. Take good care of yourselves all of you and until we meet again I am sending you all my very bestest of wishes and my fondest regards, Dawn Lacy x x x “

We have been staying here for a number of years. Everything about it is perfect, close to city centre, two parking spaces, close to supermarket should you want to eat in, close to lots of lovely restaurants and of course a fabulous owner. Dawn provides the most fantastic welcome hamper and a wonderful warm welcome. Wouldn't stay anywhere else.

“Hello there my lovelies, thank you very much indeed for your wonderful review Lynn, I really do appreciate it so very very much; you are quite simply too kind. Always a real pleasure for me to see you all return year on year besides its you guys who keeps me up-to-date on where all the best places are to go visit and where to eat out Hee Hee!!? Absolutely thrilled to bits that you have all enjoyed your stay again with us here in York, and yes I am so very lucky with regards the location of my “Little House” like you say with regards 2x off road private parking spaces and Sainsbury’s Supermarket being your corner shop you can’t go wrong really can you? Also, to just walk out of our little Cul-de-Sac and you’re in the area of Monk Bar with all it’s shops, cafes, restaurants, tapas, wine bars and traditional olde worlde pubs the location, I must admit, is an real bonus. Always an absolute pleasure for me to see you all again this year and I thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for choosing my “little House” for your jollidays!!! You all take extra special care of yourselves now won’t you because you are all extra special lovelies to me, my kindest and always fondest regards to each and every one of you, Dawn Lacy x x x x”

This was our 3rd stay in Dawn’s lovely little house. Each time we’ve stayed longer! Dawn is completely wonderful, providing a mega bespoke welcome pack (Jim ‘needed’ to taste a Shambles pork pie and a Yorkshire curd tart)as well as a big Yorkshire Group Hug! It was great not having to go shopping because of all the yummy goodies, but when we did have to go, how easy with Sainsbury’s a few steps away. The house was warm, cozy and spotless. Dawn even got out a fleecy throw for extra coziness! The little house is in a perfect location, a short skip and a hop through the Monk Bar and into the city. We went to the Christmas market every day or evening, enjoying ambling through the crowds with a mulled wine. York is such a beautiful and vibrant city, especially this time of year with the Christmas market. It’s such a huge plus not having to worry about parking, with parking attached to the property. A big bonus in York! It meant we could explore other locations in North Yorkshire without fear of losing our spot! I had a James Herriot/Yorkshire Vet moment, so we had to go to Thirsk to see the Skeldale museum. Well worth it. All in all, it was a wonderful holiday in our home from home. Thanks lovely Dawn for everything you do to make it so special. It means so much to us both. We’ve been coming to York off and on for 30 years and your little house is by far the best we’ve ever stayed in. Fact!

“My Dearest Jayne and Jim, Lovely to hear from you and thank you (from the bottom of my heart) for your wonderful review. I really do appreciate your kind words, not to mention I am absolutely thrilled to bits that you still enjoy coming to visit year after year. I am sure it’s because you like your Shambles Pork Pie too much Jim. Yes, I must admit we are very lucky indeed because at this time of year York is quite simply a festive delight to behold what with all the twinklie lights decorating all four Bar Walls; not to mention all the shops in town really do go out of their way to make everything look just oh so Christmasy (if there is such a word)?!?! And also, not forgetting all the culinary delights and treats that are on offer in the City itself and at our St Nicholas Christmas Fair AND our own local Shambles Market AND the local Mulled Wine which I have to say goes down an absolute treat it’s just too yummie scrummie for words don’t you think Jayne? Always an absolute pleasure to welcome you both back year after year. After all, you’re both like family now so there is no escaping my Yorkshire Tea Loaf for next time you come and stay. Take good care of yourselves and each other and I wish you both a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Sending my fondest regards with a Group Hug attached, Dawn Lacy x o x”

We were at least four hours overdue from said time we had given Dawn,on arrival we were greeted by Dawn as if we were family and made to feel at home right away, thank you for a lovely stay.

“ Dear Mr & Mrs McLaughlin, thank you ever so much for such a lovely review and for your kind words. It is greatly appreciated. It was so lovely to meet you both and yes I must admit I was getting a little worried re your ETA but these things happen and you had undertaken such a mammoth journey all the way from Oban, Scotland, to come and stay in my Little House. I always try to do the best that I can for everyone who chooses to stay at 14 Cloisters Walk and I always aim to be there to meet and greet all of my guests whatever their time of arrival may be (be it day or night time) I will be there. And, of course, a good ole fashioned “Yorkshire Welcome” never goes a miss after such a long journey – and my chocolate cake always brightens anyone’s day (so I’ve been told). In my opinion, I think there is nothing worse than at the start of any holiday you arrive to find an empty house so it was my absolute pleasure to be there and to welcome you both to York, to Yorkshire and to my Little House. Lovely to meet you both. My kindest regards to the both of you, Dawn Lacy x x”

My friend and I spent 4 weeks in this property. It was fabulous, Landlady Dawn was gorgeous and the location was perfect. Would highly recommend this property. InYorkHolidays team was also great to deal with.

“G’day Wendy and Elaine, my two favourite Lovely Ladies all the way from Australia, thank you so very much indeed for your wonderful review it is most kind of you. It was an absolute pleasure to meet you both and to welcome you to my Little House. You brought with you such “sunshine” and laughter we did nothing but giggle when we caught up with each other over the duration of your stay. The place just isn’t quite the same without you both but I am absolutely thrilled to bits that you both enjoyed your stay with us here in York and the UK itself. Sending you all my very best and most fondest regards, Dawn Lacy x x PS Here’s to more antique fairs!!”

We have stayed at 14 Cloisters Walk several times and will stay there again in future. Can’t be beaten for home from home comfort, facilities, location and fabulous service from owner. We wouldn’t stay anywhere else for z break in beautiful York.

Second visit to 14 Cloisters Walk and won't be the last. You couldn't find a better host than Dawn. Her attention to detail makes you very welcome and nothing is too much trouble. Perfect accommodation, and location and we had good weather as well.

“Hey there my lovelies, awwwww thank you so very much Barbara for your lovely Review , it is very kind of you and I appreciate the time it takes as I know only too well that once we get back home from our jolly holidays reality of real life sets in and we end up being busy little bees once again with no time spare for ourselves let alone writing Reviews. I was thrilled to bits to see you all again and it was a real treat for me to welcome you all back with a lemon cake this time. Take good care of yourself and each other and hopefully I will see you all again soon in the not too distant future (a coffee and walnut cake next time perhaps)?. My fondest regards Dawn Lacy x”

its our third visit to this property that probably says it all great spot with parking and close to shop for supplies

“Dear Mr & Mrs Burns, Thank you so very much for your Review and I am so very very pleased that you have both enjoyed yet another stay in my Little House. It is always an absolutely pleasure to be able to welcome you back to York for the third time running and I do so hope to see you both again in the not too distant future. Wishing the both of you all the very very best and with my fondest regards, Dawn Lacy x”

Just returned from a week in York in this cosy little house. Immaculately clean and an extremely pleasant owner. So handy to walk into the centre of York in less than five minutes and great to know that if you go out in the car you have TWO secure private car parking spaces to come back to. We had a more than generous welcome pack when we arrived which we thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you Dawn. Even though the house backs onto the ring road we slept in the front bedroom and we not disturbed once. We loved the immaculately-kept little garden where we had a couple of G&Ts. Would we stay here again? Most definitely.

We have stayed here on numerous occasions and it never disappoints. It's in a great location, is spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The owner is a lovely lady who can't do enough to make us welcome. We look forward to our next visit.

“My dearest Myra & Bob, Thank you so very much for your lovely Review and your wonderful kindness. I have to say, it is always an absolute treat for me to welcome you both back year after years (it must be my baking Hee Hee)! Until the next time – here’s to our next good ole fashioned Yorkshire Welcome and Group Hug. Take good care of yourselves and each other. My kindest and fondest regards Dawn Lacy x”

Perfectly located for exploring York, immaculately kept and I can’t praise the owner enough, you won’t be disappointed.

“Dear Michael and Dawn, David and Matty, Thank you so very much for your lovely Review and I am so very pleased that you have all enjoyed yet another stay with us here in York in my “Little House”. It is always wonderful to see you all again and I am getting to know which cake is your favourite. I do so hope to see you again sometime soon but until then take good care of yourself and each other. My warmest and fondest regards, Dawn Lacy x”

Everything about Cloisters Walk was excellent, from the friendly welcome from Dawn to all the nice touches round the house. As everyone says, the welcome hamper is outstanding: freshly made cake, cream, fresh fruit, biscuits, two loaves of bread... more than enough to keep you in light breakfasts and snacks for your short stay in York. The location is fab too, a short walk takes you straight into the centre. One small criticism, the television could do with an update. It was a little temperamental and the menus/volume didn't always work, but it really is a minor point in such a lovely, welcoming home.

“Dear Colette and Gareth, Thank you so very much for your wonderful Review. It was so very kind of you to take the time as I appreciate only too well that once you get back home, the demands of our day-to-day lives seem to take back control with earnest. It was so lovely to meet and welcome you both and I am so very pleased that you enjoyed your stay in my Little House – and the Wedding too sounded like you all had a simply magical and wonderful time. Lovely to hear you enjoyed the Welcome Pack – I do like to make my guests feel that they can relax the minute they arrive, with not having to even think about popping to the shops for tea, coffee, milk, bread & butter etc and I’m thrilled that you enjoyed my home baking. So very sorry to hear that the telly was playing up and I do so hope that it didn’t spoil your stay or inconvenience either of you too much and I thank you for bringing this matter to my attention. I have since checked and it was the batteries in the remote so I have replaced these and it appears to be working brilliantly now. These things happen and again please accept my sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused (I appreciate only too well there is nothing worse if you’re just about to settle down to a little bit of telly and it’s playing up). Thanking you both again for choosing to come and stay in my Little House it was lovely to meet you both and I do so hope that I get a chance to bake you a Chocolate Sponge Cake in the not too distant future. My kindest regards, Dawn Lacy x”

Over the years we have rented other houses in York and although we have been satisfied with them all 14 Cloisters Walk is the best by far. We have now taken this beautiful and cosy house several times and look forward to many more visits.

We have returned for several years now. Have always had a great time. The house is spotless, well equipped and convenient for the City. Dawn is a great hostess and the welcome pack gets better every year!

“Dearest Sandra, David and Keri, Thank you so very much for your lovely Review – it means such a lot to me that my guests are kind enough to spare their precious time to get back in touch especially over the busy Festive Period. It is always a real treat for me to see you all, especially at Christmas, and to welcome you back. After all, because you have been coming for so long you have become part of my ever extended Family Hee Hee. I love getting all the Christmas Decorations out and to “get my twinklie lights on for the Harts” as I know Christmas means a visit from you my lovelies. I am thrilled that you enjoyed my Welcome Pack as I always try and get you your favourite mince pies from Thomas the Bakers and never forgetting the scrummie pork pie this year from the Little Sausage and Pie Shop on the corner of The Shambles – I didn’t get a chance to taste mine as Trevor ate it all!!! Well, it is Christmas after all ,………. You take good care of yourselves my lovelies, and each other, and I wish you all every happiness for the New Year in 2019. My very warmest and sincerest regards Dawn Lacy x”

This is our 2nd stay (my 3rd!) at Dawn’s “little house”, and it was as ever, absolutely wonderful. Warm and comfortable, with everything we needed, it was perfect accommodation in a perfect location. We’ve been coming to York for several years and this is by far the best place we’ve stayed in. Dawn remains a glorious hostess, and surpasses herself in everything she does to make our stay perfect. The welcome pack had to be seen to be believed...in fact I had to send a picture to my sister! We didn’t have to do much shopping, that’s for sure! The first thing I did when we got home was to book next November’s holiday in no 14! Thanks Dawn, we look forward to seeing you next year! X

Dear Jayne and Jim, It was so lovely to see you both again (as always) and of course Thank You so very much indeed for your lovely Review and kind comments. It really does mean such a great deal to me as I appreciate, only too well, the time and effort it takes once you return home getting back into the swing of things there. I just try to give all of my guests a “Home from Home” experience (with a sprinkling of “Yorkshire” magic) whilst on holiday and yes I am indeed very lucky to have my Little House in the location that it is as the delights and sites of the York City Centre are just a couple of steps just around the corner. I am so very pleased that you both saw all the Christmas Lights of York – they’re quite magical aren’t they – not to mention the Bar Walls all lit up looking simply superb. In addition, the brilliant St Nicholas Christmas Fair incorporating Thor’s Tipi (which I absolutely love getting all nice and cozy in there with my Hot Chocolate Brandy), Then there’s all the Festive Food Stalls and Local Market etc etc. We are very lucky here in York. A huge big Thank You for booking again with me for next year – you’ll have to let me know what cake you would like me to bake for you. Until then you take good care of yourselves and each other. My very warmest and fondest regards Dawn Lacy x”

This end terrace house just outside Monks Bar is serviced and prepared with care. Two parking places are available (very much worth having in York!) and the house itself has everything you need for a self-catering stay. There is easy walking access to York city centre and all its sights, and also restaurants, takeaways and grocery stores (a big Sainsburys is next door). The accommodation was spotless, in excellent decorative order, with comfortable beds and fluffy towels in the bathroom, all superb. The welcome from the owner was exceptional - the "goody pack" prepared for us was a magnificent banquet of Yorkshire delicacies; not just the usual bread/milk/tea/coffee but also a bottle of Prosecco (OK not Yorkshire), a fabulous York Shambles butcher's Pork Pie, and crisps and confectionery among many many others. Also Welsh Cakes (hmm). We were made to feel truly welcome, shown around, given full info on the property and a "help" phone number if required. Such attention is truly above the norm. Mrs L, you are an exceptional hostess, thank you. Some points of interest: As the kitchen equipment is comprehensive for foodies like us - brilliant - (e.g. I think I counted twelve chopping boards, four frying/sauté pans), we found there was limited cupboard space to store our own groceries; The dining table only has three chairs which was OK for us, but the house does sleep four. The house backs on to the York inner ring road, and despite double glazing inevitably the delivery lorries at 6.00a.m intrude if you are in the back bedroom - not much at the front. These are niggle points. Bottom line: would we stay here again?; would we recommend this accommodation to friends and family?; Yes and Yes. Fabulous stay. Thank you so much Mrs L - you are a wonderful hostess.

Thank you both so very much indeed for such a wonderful Review, it was an absolute delight for me to read. I am truly thrilled that, by the sound of things, you both thoroughly enjoyed your stay with us here in the Great City of York. I feel that, as a local girl myself, we are so very lucky to be able to enjoy all the delights and attractions that York has to offer, and it is my opinion that York has a little “special something” for absolutely everyone and of all ages too. I am also very pleased that you enjoyed your Welcome Pack – well, a visit to York and Yorkshire itself simply would not be complete without a couple of local delicacies and I must admit when I popped into town for your Pork Pie on the morning of your arrival : I simply had to get one too because they just smelt absolutely delish (no surprises there as they had just come fresh out of the oven). I usually bake a Cake for my guests but not everyone is a “sweet tooth” like myself so for the “savouries” amongst us, like your good selves, I pop into town and get a fresh Yorkshire Pork Pie from The Shambles which I feel and hope always goes down a real treat. With regards to your points of interest I welcome your comments and thank you very much indeed for taking the time to raise them with me. May I respond as detailed below: - I do apologise for the kitchen being a little too “over equipped”. In my defence, however, I must admit I cannot break this habit of mine that when I go shopping for my own home I am always constantly thinking of my Little House too; especially with regards to items such as chopping boards - as I do love them so myself and have I think 15 at home – (well now, they’re just so useful though aren’t they?) not to mention the pots and the pans etc. My humble apologies, but I cannot help myself because I feel that if it is good enough for home then my Little House needs one also. I fear I may be a potential hoarder in the making, so I will have to rethink and take stock the next time I go shopping for house items Hee Hee. You will be pleased to know Marek that I have taken your comments on board and completely agree with you with regards there being no room for my guests’ own groceries. An excellent point to make and a brilliant idea to which I thank you for alerting me to. I have now cleared one of the cupboards out completely (the one to the right of the microwave which has three shelves). Like you say, this then offers a complete and empty space for my guests’ own groceries should they need it. I can confirm that there are in fact four dining chairs. There are three in situ in the living room. The fourth dining chair is located in the under-stairs cupboard where the mini Guests’ Library is and where the Traditional Games Box is also stored there [so too are the house hoover(s), the toddlers’ highchair and the spare umbrellas’] – the storage space does go back quite considerably to say the very least (a real bonus, I feel, for a Little House). I have to admit though that the fourth chair can be very easily missed, but rest assured it is there. In addition, I also have located (again in the under-stairs cupboard) two adult sized bean bags which I tend to find goes down well with the children and teenagers that sometimes stay in my Little House (they like to get all cozy and cuddled in in front of the telly - a bit like mine do at home). I am so very sorry to hear your sleep was interfered with regarding the delivery lorries in the early hours. Unfortunately, my Little House does back on to the York Inner Ring Road and The Hilton Double-Tree Hotel is my next-door neighbour. The traffic noise is sometimes inevitable even with the double glazing. However, I do feel that this is a small price to pay when you think of the fantastic location Cloisters Walk is situated which is a stone’s throw away from your local corner shop Sainsbury’s, the Monkgate Area and Monkbar, the Minster and the vibrant City Centre of York itself. Finally, it was an absolute pleasure meeting you both and I am thrilled to hear that you would not only come back to York and chose to stay in my Little House but that you would recommend my property to your friends and family. That, to me, is an absolute treat to hear and I thank you for that from the bottom of my Yorkshire Heart. Take good care of each other until we meet again, hopefully in the not too distant future. Sending you both my warmest regards and all the very best, Dawn Lacy x”

made very welcome.would love to make another visit.many thanks.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

“Dear Barbara & Dave, thank you so very much for your lovely Review and I am absolutely thrilled to bits you enjoyed your stay with us here in York. Hope to see you both again soon in the not too distant future. All the very best to you and with my kindest regards, Dawn Lacy x”

Second time staying at 14 Cloisters Walk.Prior to this visit had stayed in another in Cloisters Walk run by same company Inyork holidays as this was not free.This is by far best.Excellent host.Nothing too much trouble.Dawn even texted next day to ask if everything ok and to wish me happy birthday.Lovely touch(.Didn’t have any contact with owner in previous house so did feel isolated.)Very well kept house everything you could wish for.The welcome pack was outstanding.Thought we might come home few pounds heavier as lemon cake was delicious but we soon walked it off around York.Great location with free parking. Thank you Dawn. Friends on my return have enquired about this property as I was singing it’s praise.

“ Dear Jill and Norman, Awwwwww bless you both – thank you so very much for your lovely Review it is so very kind of you and I really do appreciate it. I am so very pleased that you have enjoyed your stay with us here in York and I am always thrilled to see returning guests like yourselves as you become part of my extended family. I try to give a welcoming “Home from Home” experience and of course always a Hearty Yorkshire Welcome which would never be complete, in my opinion, if a cake wasn’t involved ?. I am extremely lucky in that I live locally to my Little House so I am always in the area which not only allows me to cover all my own Meet and Greets (no matter what time of day or night) but I think it’s always nice that my guests know that I’m always available to pop by, or for them to telephone or text if I’m needed. Many many thanks again for choosing my Little House for your holidays and I do so hope to see you both again soon in the not too distant future – another Lemon Cake will be freshly baked to welcome you back. My very warmest and fond regards, Dawn Lacy x”

The house was perfect in all respects and the welcome we got from Dawn was really friendly. The welcome package was enough to keep us going for a good couple of days - and we even got to choose the type of cake !! No doubt about where we will be staying next time we vist York (unlerss it is fully booked !)

“Thank you so very much indeed for your kind words and it is so lovely of you to take the time in submitting your Review. I try my very best to ensure that all my guests enjoy not only the wonderful delights that York has to offer but in addition to that I try to offer a welcoming “Home-from-Home” experience too (an experience which, in my opinion, simply wouldn’t be complete without a homemade lemon or chocolate or coffee & walnut cake). Thank you once again and I look forward to seeing you all again sometime in the not too distant future. My kindest regards, Dawn”.

A very comfortable, immaculately clean and well-equipped property, with a welcome hamper that was in a league of its own! Great location, too - just outside the walls, and a very short walk from Sainsbury's, but still remarkably quiet. And a very warm welcome from the owner. Hope to stay here again.

We received a warm welcome from our host who contacted us prior to our visit to confirm arrival time and answer any questions we might have. We were even asked if we would like a home-made lemon or chocolate cake.It was delicious as were all the 'goodies' left for us and great to have not only the essentials such as bread, croissant, milk, tea and coffee but also cake, strawberries and cream, fudge and wine. The house was immaculate and details such as the tablets for the washing machine and baking foil very thoughtful. There was ample outside furniture and it was good to relax in the little garden after a day out. The beds were really comfortable. Location was excellent as it was only a few minutes walk to the wall and to the restaurants, pubs,shops and many attractions of York centre.

We had our latest break here in May. We have stayed numerous times before and we keep going back because of its excellent location and presentation. We are never disappointed.

We were met with a big smile and warm welcome, even when we arrived late after a long journey. Dawn had put a bottle of bubbly in the fridge for us, there was tea, coffee, milk, bread, butter and jam, as well as nice treats like biscuits and a huge delicious chocolate cake! The location is one of the very best in York, so central but still resonably quiet considered it's a town centre location. Well equipped flat, with all you need. Sainsbury's supermarked is practically next door, so extremly handy for shopping! Lovely back and front yard, and great parking outside. We will most definitly come and stay again!

This house has everything you could hope for when looking for a place to stay in York. We have been to lots of properties over the years and enjoyed them all but Cloisters Walk is the best by far.

Fabulous house, fabulous location, fabulous host! What more can we say oh yes fabulous selection of goodies provided. Dawn is an absolute gem as it was Valentines the house was decorated with red heart shaped garland and heart shaped chocolates. Already booked for November.

Could'nt ask for nicer place to stay,a short walk into the the wonderful city of York,14 Cloisters Walk is beautifully presented and is a credit to Dawn the owner,I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone a real little gem.

Ideal location, immaculately clean and well maintained property whose owners went out of their way to give a warm and friendly welcome. An amazing welcome pack of food awaited us which was lovely after a long journey, so no need of immediate shopping and we were particulrly pleased with the utilities provided in kitchen and bathroom. Excellent and we would like to return later in the year.

We have been coming to this property now for several years and it is always wonderful. Everything is there that you need and the welcome pack gets better every year! The house is immaculate with Christmas decorations and everything. The owner (Dawn) is always there to greet us (or in this case to say goodbye) and is so bubbly and lovely. We look forward to our Christmas visit every year.

Our favourite place to stay in York. The house has everything you need and is spotlessly clean. Close to centre and lots of fab restaurants. Sainsbury's is close by should you not want to eat out. Parking spaces a bonus. Fabulous warm welcome from the lovely Dawn and wonderful goodies and treats. Christmas decorations make it feel very homely. Have already booked another break.

We have stayed in several different properties in York and enjoyed them all but this one is our absolute favourite. Located in a cul-de-sac only just outside the city walls and just a step from Sainsbury for supplies it is a very short distance to reach excellent restaurants and pubs, shops, and York Minster. The house is really comfortable and stylishly decorated with an attractive, walled patio with barbecue. It was a bit cool and it snowed while we were there so we didn't need the patio. The deal breaker for my husband is the off road parking for two cars. Dawn, the owner, welcomed us on our arrival and provided a very generous selection of essential, edible goodies. Delish! Thank you, Dawn, we'll be back.

What can I say? Dawn was so welcoming and accommodating, with all manner of thoughtful touches to make our stay so wonderful. Thanks for all the yummies Dawn! We’ve finally finished the lemon sponge! The house was lovely, clean, warm and comfortable. The location couldn’t be better. We loved being able to walk out every day in the beautiful city of York, with the Xmas lights and the Xmas Fair up and running. Sampling all the mulled wine stalls was good too! Many thanks for such a fantastic holiday. We look forward to coming back.

Lovely, comfortable house in the most convenient location for everything York has to offer. Dawn is the best host and provides lots of treats and essentials to get your break off to a great start. Courtyard garden is a sun-trap even in autumn/winter and the car parking spaces are a welcome bonus too. We won’t stay anywhere else in York now.

A phone call the day before we went, and a very friendly and thoughtful welcome from Dawn (who lived in the house for several years and obviously loves making it a special stay for guests), set us up for the holiday and made us feel at home. A really nice welcome pack including basics in the fridge and lots of special touches, being able to park our car earlier in the day, and the house very clean, pleasant and comfortable. Just outside the city walls meant we hardly needed to get the car out all week, and very convenient for Sainsbury's. Just a couple of things for potential guests to bear in mind: it is two double beds (no twin beds) (we had forgotten but as our daughter couldn't come this was fine for three of us); it's a lovely big bath so make sure the bath mat is in if you aren't very tall or keep it shallow! Also traffic and emergency vehicles can be a bit noisy outside the front bedroom at night with it being a main road, so put your better sleepers in this room... Altogether a really comfortable relaxing stay and one we would happily repeat if we stay in York again.

The little house is a gem! It offers everything one can wish for. The location is perfect and the landlady simply lovely! We will definitely come back! Thank you for an unforgettable week!

Superb accommodation near to the centre of York. Easily the best we've ever stayed in. A genuine home from home!

Such a lovely place and the perfect location. Roomy, clean and comfortable with surprise goodies to enjoy for our stay. Well stocked and has everything you would need for the perfect holiday. We had a terrific time and would certainly return. Highly recommended!!! Thank you!!! :)

A perfect house in a perfect location. Parking was an added bonus as was the proximity of Sainsburys. Dawn, the owner was lovely and made sure everything was perfect and we would want for nothing. Looking forward to going back.

Simply could not have found a better place to stay in York. Dawn is a fantastic host , very friendly and very welcoming. We even had a goody bag of food on our arrival, which we did not expect, and Dawn was there to greet us. The house was, well, lovely. We could not find anything to criticise. well furnished, well maintained, and obviously well loved. 2 minutes from Sainsbury's, 5 minutes from the Minster, 10 minutes from the Shambles and 15 to 20 minutes from the National Railway Museum. What more could you want?

We have stayed here many times and we keep coming back because it's a great property in a brilliant location and it's good value.

This property is perfectly placed for discovering the wonderful city of York,just a short walk from the Minster and close to all the major visitor attractions, the property is well maintained and has everything you would want for a stay in York, Dawn (the owner) was waiting to greet us and to make sure we knew were everything was, hidden from view across the road is a Sainsburys, which is very handy, I would highly recommend 14 Cloisters Walk.

Die Unterkunft ist geschmackvoll und gemütlich eingerichtet - ein absoluter Wohlfühlfaktor. Auch der Empfang durch die Eigentümerin war äußerst herzlich. Ich kam Sonntag Abend an und sie hatte extra den Kühlschrank für mich gefüllt!!! So etwas habe ich in diesem Ausmaß noch nie erlebt. Die Wohnung liegt sehr zentral, gleich außerhalb des Stadttores "Monk Bar". Von dort kann man auf der Stadtmauer spazieren und dabei das Minster halb umrunden. De Wohnung hat zwei völlig gleichwertige Schlafzimmer in der 1. Etage und ein gemütliches Wohnzimmer im EG. Wunderbar ist auch der schöne Innenhof. Selbst im März habe ich ihn bei Sonnenschein genossen.

We would recommend this property as one of the best we have stayed in York ideal for access to the City and surrounding areas.

Wonderful property, Dawn the owner is great, nothing too much trouble. We were overwhelmed by the lovely extra's she provided. It was great.

Loved, loved, loved this place! The apartment was immaculate and the owner had all kinds of special little food items, bath items, etc.. ready for us. The location is perfect, right across from the walled city. You can see the Minster from the back window. There is a grocery store right across the parking lot. We walked to everything right from the apartment. We were on a two week trip staying in VRBO's and this one was our favorite!

What a fantastic start to our holiday , our host Dawn had thoughtfully provided a fabulous hamper of goodies , even though there is a supermarket within walking distance . The property was 2 minutes away from York centre which meant no driving so the car was left in the private parking space next to the property. The property itself was in excellent condition with a beautiful courtyard . Dawn made it clear that we could contact her for anything if needed . A beautiful house in a good location we will definitely be returning .

My 3rd time at this property and it's now the only place I want to stay when visiting York. Lovely house in perfect location with everything in walking distance. Parking space a bonus if you bring your car for trips further afield.

Great house, best we have stayed in for many years( and we have had some awful ones).Terrific host, nothing too much trouble.Welcome pack unexpected but was liked by all and did save us rushing out to buy basics.Location perfect.Nice to leave car and wander into York City Centre.We like this so much that we aim to come back, if Dawn will have us.My husbands colleagues have also been enquiring about website so they can book as he has told them how lovely it was.

This was our 3rd holiday in York and this property was the best we have stayed in. It overlooks the city walls and is very handy for all the attractions in the city. We had a lovely warm welcome from the owner Dawn who keeps the property spotlessly clean. She also provided a very generous welcome pack, including bread, milk, butter and cake! What more could you ask for! There is also a lovely garden with chairs and loungers to sit out in if the weather is good. I would highly recommend this holiday home and would love to return and stay here again.

We have stayed in this property numerous times. We always look forward to going back and it never disappoints. The owner is delightful and gives us a lovely warm welcome. The house is always in pristine condition and it's very well equipped. It's only a short walk to the town centre and all York attractions.

We had a great time at 14 Cloisters Walk. The owner, Dawn, was lovely and had left us an amazing Welcome Pack. The house was so convenient for all the sights in York and we hope to be back again one day.

upon arrival we received a really warm welcome with an excellent welcome pack. The property is very conveniently situated with a view of the walls and is a real home from home. York is full of interesting places to visit and restaurants of every description, an excellent holiday.

We loved our stay and will definitely come back if we visit York again. Great location, lovely little extras (thanks for the Easter treats!) and spotlessly clean. It was brilliant to be able to park the car in the city centre to visit all the museums with the children, plus the Sainsburys over the road was very handy. Dawn was so friendly and was very flexible with arrival and departure times.

Perfectly wonderful. This house has been a great find. Parking for two cars, a couple of minutes stroll to Monkgate and the fabulous city of York awaits. In a very quiet residential area despite the close proximity to the city. Very warm and cozy, equipped with everything you could possibly need. Wonderful garden area with seating and barbecue, which would be lovely in the warm weather. A wonderful warm welcome from the owner Mrs Lacy, who is very helpful & nothing is too much trouble. An extra special touch is the amazing welcome pack which was very much appreciated. We can't recommend this accommodation enough. Hope to return very soon. Thank you.

It is a fantastic stay in Dawn's lovely and cosy home. Good location, nice view, and the little beautiful rear courtyard is another bonus. Dawn took good care of every details of the house and you will get nearly everything you need or even timely assistance from her. Thank you too for the welcome treats. York is a lovely city and here is sure a great place to start your exploration! Enjoy!

Could not be faulted in any way, from our lovely greeting by Dawn to our final farewell. We will definitely return and recommend to our friends. Thank you so much Dawn

Sixth return says it all, best place in all york, just love it.Dawn, the owner, best greeting on the planet.Superb accommodation. Simply the best!!

Dawn, the owner, met us and showed us around, she had tastefully decorated the house for Christmas and left us lots of goodies to enjoy , her attention to detail was great. Dawn was very attentive especially during the floods which York had over that period. The house was not in any danger from the floods but Dawn still came to make sure that we ok. The house itself was warm and comfortable, it is close to town - just a 10mins walk through Monkbar. We cannot recommend this house enough and would stay in again in an instant. This is one of the best houses we have ever stayed in.

Perfect house in a perfect location, within walking distance of all amenities. Car parking space is a real bonus when renting a city centre property. Dawn the owner is an absolute gem a pleasure to meet every time we stay there.

An excellent stay again. The house was spotless and well equipped. The welcome was like old friends coming back. We will be back again next year for our annual Christmas shopping trip.

The house is warm and welcoming, so comfortable. Dawn very kindly provides a fantastic welcome pack so no need to go shopping. A few minutes stroll and you are in the heart of York. We have been many times and hope to go again next year. Stunning

A fantastic holiday home, with everything York has to offer within walking distance. Home from home amenities and lovely wee courtyard garden is perfect to relax in on a nice day.

We had a lovely welcome to the property from Dawn the owner and the welcome pack she left us was full of treats which was a nice surprise. The house is comfortable, warm and well equipped and is only a few minutes walk from all of York's atactions. We would definitely stay there again if we have another holiday in York.

A clean,comfortable and convenient accommodation in York .The owner was very helpful and the welcome pack very generous! We really relaxed hear and hope to stay again.

We have stayed here on several occasions and just love it. House is great and the garden is nice for sitting out in. Would give 5 stars as we have no complaints. The owner is lovely making you feel welcome and spoils you rotten.

Very good property in an excellent location for sites and shops. A clean and tidy house with almost no downside except maybe the front bedroom a little noises.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in York and the location and condition of the property was outstanding. A few minutes walk from York Minster and the centre along with easy access to other places. Private parking right outside was great too.

A simply superb place to stay in a beautiful city. Can highly recommend 14 Cloisters Walk - easily the best self-catering accommodation we've ever stayed in!

This property is in an excellent location for exploring York, very close to York minster and the city centre. Lots of lovely pubs and restaurants within a few minutes walk. The Sainsbury's supermarket is a 2 minute walk away, very handy! The property itself is in excellent condition, the chairs and beds are very comfortable and good quality bed linen too. The garden area is really nice and very secluded. The house also has excellent security. The owner Dawn Lacey makes you feel so welcome, the welcome pack is unlike any other! she really does go above and beyond! possibly the best self catering experience we have ever had.

Look no further for clean and comfy accommodation near York city centre. This house would be hard to beat. Only a few minutes walk from York Minster and other attractions and a real home from home. Will definitely go back.

Booking through Inyork holidays was really easy and quick, they responded very quickly to queries and put us in touch directly with the owner of the property. This is a great place to stay, just right next to the York city walls it's so close to everything and there is a supermarket just across the street for everything you might need. I stayed here with two friends for four nights and it was a great size for the three of us and had everything we needed. Dawn the owner was fabulous, she was there to meet us when we arrived and gave us loads of helpful tips about the place and about the city, made us feel right at home and even left us some biscuits and cake when we arrived! There was no problem changing our arrival time and she was really accommodating and easy to get in touch with before and during our stay. The house was super clean and really nicely decorated. There is private parking for two cars which was great as finding parking in York can be very difficult. Overall just a great place to stay and I would definitely stay here again!

5th time of staying, you will not find a better welcome or property in york.Thanks Dawn.Superb location fantastic garden.Easy parking and unloading.xx

We were pleasantly surprised to find that our rental apartment was, in fact, a lovely 2-bedroomed town house. Already knew about the beautiful courtyard garden at the back. Never been in any place so well-equipped. The landlady, Dawn Lacey, has a great flair for interior - and exterior - decorating. She was very friendly and welcoming. We would highly recommend this rental.

Cannot fault the property at all - best self-catering accommodation we have ever stayed in ! And the owner is so helpful and friendly! Just excellent and we'll be back !

Ideally located house, offering very comfotable accommodation. Very convenient for the Minster, central shops and restaurants. So handy to be able to do a little shopping, have lunch, then pop back to the house with parcels before visiting a museum/gallery in the afternoon. Two parking spaces in central York a real bonus. Dawn, the owner ,is very friendly and helpful.

Absolutely first class home - and it is a home- full of treats, luxuries and lots of extras. The owner is kindness herself. Location excellent right in the heart of the City - you will have road noise because of this - but to compensate, you are 2 minutes walk from the Minster! Will definitely return

14 Cloisters Walk is the best self catering accommodation we have ever stayed in. The house is immaculate, superbly presented, has everything you could possibly need and more and is in a superb location. Upon arrival the owners meets you and is one of the nicest people you could ever wish to meet and always leaves a lovely welcome pack. A pleasure to return to this property again and again.

Have been twice before and will be definitely be going back. Owner is extremely friendly and helpful. The house is always spotless and well furnished and the welcome pack is always grand. It is very handy for the purpose of our annual visit to York - Christmas shopping! Love it.

Excellent place to stay clean and comfortable. Very close to the centre of York so handy for returning during the day. great holiday would come again.

Fabulous house near centre of York. The owner provides all the little touches that make your stay exceptional. Warm and welcoming. We arrived near Christmas time and had crackers on the beds. Parking space which is a premium in York. It comes very highly recommended

This was the 2nd time we have stayed in this lovely comfortable house. Dawn the owner is such a friendly person you feel like you have known her forever. Would highly recommend a stay here. We will be back next year.

4th or 5th time of staying here cannot fault anything!! Wonderful welcome from owner. Lovely little extras provided. Beautiful clean house recommended

The house has a vourable position so we need no care for the City. A supermarket is nex door appr. 3 minutes.And the connection to the highways are alos very god.And in addition is the position of the house very calm.On the whole we can recommend the house.
