This stunning apartment sits within a grade 2 listed building which has been sympathetically renovated and manages to preserve the integrity of the wonderful original features whilst adding some modern, eclectic touches.

Being the birthplace of Joseph Rowntree the building is adorned with old photographs and artefacts that give you a real sense of the history of the building.

Superbly positioned just opposite ‘The Shambles’, you really couldn’t be closer to all that the city has to offer. That being said the apartment has a great balance of being a quiet retreat away from any street noise.

Upon entering you will find a well presented kitchen equipped with all the amenities you’d expect to find, such as a dishwasher, fridge freezer and washing machine. There is also a dining area to accommodate 2.

The lounge is equipped with a very comfortable sofa and separate chair. There is also the striking original feature here of the old stove. Certainly something you won’t see in your typical city centre property!

The master bedroom is spacious and accommodates a double bed, wardrobe and dressing table. The bathroom of the property comes with a bath with shower over.

Although there is no parking with the apartment, paid for parking is available just a couple of minutes walk away at the Q Park where you can park for a full 24 hours for £19.

A fantastic apartment in the heart of York. Exceptionally clean and modern, with comfy furnishings and all the amenities you might need on a short break. The bed is incredibly comfortable and a fan is provided if too hot. The Shambles is only minutes away by foot and the Minster just 5-10 mins walk. Local supermarkets very nearby. Feels very safe and entry easy. The entrance hall is gorgeous and the alley to the apartment is right next to a medieval style building for history-lovers!

Amazing place! Conveniently located right across the street from the Shambles and a Marks & Spencer, plus many other places a very quick walk away. I loved the view of the historical buildings, the bed was comfortable and the shower was amazing. Totally recommend this place!

I can’t get over how fantastic this space was. The decor was quaint and easy to be around, but the showstopper was the location and the view. The picture really don’t do it justice, and we loved every minute of being there! Super walkable, super clean, super cute. Will 100% be back if we can ever cross the pond again ;)

What an amazing apartment! It managed to be both grand & cosy, & was wonderfully clean & toasty warm despite the cold January weather when I stayed. The underfloor heating in the bathroom was an added bonus! It was a delight to stay here & I wouldn’t hesitate to come again. If you’re staying in York you honestly could not find a better-placed; lovelier apartment - right in the heart of everything. My hosts were wonderfully communicative: calling me beforehand to check that I had received all the information for check-in; & even calling the day before to let me know I could check in early if I wanted to. I felt very well cared-for. Thank you for a truly wonderful stay!

If you’re looking for a classic, almost Dickensian Christmas location to stay then this has to be it. The most picturesque and fascinating area of the City to be in, park the car nearby and enjoy all of the sights, shops and attractions of York right on your doorstep. The apartment was delightful, clean and very warm (I loved the automatic blinds in the living room). Easy access to the building with a keyless entry also meant there was no worries of being locked out or losing keys. The underfloor heating in the bathroom was also a winner for us both. Overall a lovely location to stay, be ready to be spoilt for choice on where to eat and drink too, I’ve never seen so many great tea rooms, restaurants and pubs!!

Excellent location

Lovely apartment, beautifully and comfortably furnished. Location perfect for the Shambles, Minster, bus stops further afield and M&S for food.

Spent a few nights here and really did not want to come away today. So pleased with the apartment, felt really at home and safe as soon as we walked in the door. Decor is lovely and the sofa and bed are both really comfortable. Location is perfect and meant we could park up and forget about the car completely, with plenty of bars and restaurants on the doorstep. That being said, the apartment is really quiet, despite being so close to everything. Will definitely recommend this apartment to any friends coming to visit York.

Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect stay, thank you so much for hosting such a beautiful apartment. Location was a step away from the centre of all amenities and the apartment itself felt like home.

lovely stay, fantastic location, and you are no further than 5 minutes walk from everywhere. marks and Spencer just across the road for essentials and loads of great places to eat nearby.

Lovely stay just needs a couple of tweeks

The apartment is in an excellent location, is very tastefully furnished and immaculately clean. Amenities are also good. The duvet was clearly excellent quality but was far too warm - a lighter one for summer months would be a good idea. There was a nespresso machine but no pods in the welcome pack. The welcome pack was insufficient for two breakfasts for two people (only 2 coffee bags and 2 sugars - had to buy extra) and would have expected fresh milk for this price. TV didn't work as per welcome pack instructions. Checkout time of 10am is a little early. Having said all of that, these are minor issues and we had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend.

Stays York Replied:

Thank you very much for taking the time to review the property. We are really pleased to hear that overall you enjoyed your stay. With reference to your feedback, we will ensure that there are some Nespresso pods left for our guests and will update the operating instructions for the TV. As the apartment is self catering the welcome bags are a small gift from ourselves that include some coffee, tea and treats to welcome you to the property and ensure that you have something to get your holiday off to the right start. We hope that the above will ensure that future guest will fully enjoy their stay with us and we hope to welcome you back to York in the not too distant future.

A beautiful apartment in a great location right in the centre of York, loved it all and especially the heated floor in the bathroom and the electric blinds were great. Very clean and well equipped with everything you may need, the instructions manual was very clear and easy to understand as were the directions to locate and access the apartment.

Great location for a stay in York. Great location and a lovely old building that's been nicely refurbished with the addition of some modern features like keyless entry and under-floor heating in the bathroom.

Fantastic!
