25 Avenue Terrace

Could not fault the booking process start to finish. Kept up to date throughout and the property was everything we could have wished for. Spotlessly clean, probably the best place we’ve stayed in York on our 8th trip. 11/10

The house was very comfortable for 3 adults and 2 kids, we had a great 2 night stay over the holiday period. There was some confusion initially if a parking permit was included (it is not), so parking only free on the street from 5pm Friday until 8am Monday (which was perfect for us). The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook including some useful condiments, very happy to book this at the price we paid over a hotel.

We travelled with 3 adults and 2 toddlers and our stay couldn’t have been better. The house is down a quiet street about 10/15 min walk from the York Minster and downtown. It was very clean and comfortable. The outdoor patio was pleasant and a nice place to play with the kids. The beds were great and the bathrooms had fantastic water pressure. Would stay here again!

Amazing house! Visited for graduation celebrations and we were very happy with the stay. Lovely Victorian home with great styling. Rooms were tidy and comfortable, and the bathroom was great too.
Great location for accessing many areas of York, with easy connections to taxi services/Uber.

Beautiful House, everything we needed and more, lovely city, lots to do. Loved our stay.

Fantastic location (15-20 min walk to the city centre) and a beautifully decorated and maintained property. Parking outside the property is not guaranteed (it's a residents permit parking area most of the week) which is inconvenient if you're visiting with people who have mobility issues. You only notice things like this when it becomes important and as we were visiting with older mobility-impaired relatives, it was noticed. As was the lack of downstairs toilet - the stairs were a struggle, and it would have been helpful if it had been explicitly pointed out that there were no downstairs toilet facilities. It is not the owners or holiday company's fault that there are noisy neighbours, but on the first night it REALLY impacted us - they returned at 3:15am and partied until after 7am; we were all very tired on our first day. Other guests have commented on the noisy neighbours in the visitor book, so it's not the first time it's happened. The final issue was the size of the bed - it was tiny! We didn't get a good night's sleep the whole time we were there - the bed was narrow, but more annoyingly too short, and with a foot board at the bottom I couldn't lie out straight. The bed is in a huge attic room with masses of space, so why on earth they've put such a small bed in is a mystery. These are quite small inconveniences, and by themselves you'd probably dismiss them, but put together, we came away feeling tired and resentful that we weren't able to enjoy the break as we'd expected.

This is the second time with Stays York Again we stayed in a lovely property. Very convenient as it’s close to the Minster and the added bonus of having a parking space.

A stunning, clean and well located property with a responsive team from stays. We had a fantastic stay for a friends wedding, we would be back at the drop of a hat.

Thanks so much for such a wonderful stay, this place truly felt like a home away from home! Love the character of the home and all the little touches were much appreciated!

Excellent location for a wonderful house. Great for hosting in or to get ready to go out, had a blast whilst we were here! Would definitely visit again 😊 Loved the décor and extra touches, like the flowers and wine 😊

Great place to stay – loads of room, great location, loved all the extra touches. Feels like a home, excellent décor. Nicest self catering I’ve stayed in 😊

Beautiful house, everything we need to make our stay great.
Plenty of warmth and hot water on a very cold graduation weekend.
Welcome booklet a lovely touch, also roses in dining room and wine in the fridge. Overall a great weekend.

A beautiful house that we really enjoyed staying in - and a lovely area, very easy to walk into the centre of York. Would definitely stay again.

Very well decorated and kept house with easy access to the city centre. Good facilities and amenities in this delightful period property.

We have loved out stay at Number 25. What a beautiful house! It really felt like staying in someone’s much loved home rather than in a holiday house at all. The furnishings and decoration have been so thoughtfully done – everywhere we looked there was something interesting! It was a great base for exploring York and a treat to see the sun rising over the Minster in the mornings.

Thank you so much. It was amazing, the fresh flowers and wine was a real treat! Would definitely return.

We had a lovely stay over Christmas. Beautifully presented with great facilities.

Great short stay. Beautifully decorated, excellent facilities, very clean, short walk to the city centre. Extremely comfortable beds.

We had the most fabulous 3 days.
The house was more than we could have hoped for. When we stepped through the front door we were blown away by the character, decor, space - there is simply nothing we could fault.
Thank you for paying so much attention to the little finishing touches and for the wonderful welcome gifts.

We definitely hope to be back!

We have had such a wonderful stay in this beautiful house. We love the decor and how it mixed up old and new. The garden with it's various plants made it a lovely spot to relax. We have been so lucky with the weather too. Thank you for the welcome bottle of Prosecco and all the games. The kids loved them and we enjoyed quality family time. York has been wonderful and our stay has been fantastic. XXX

What a beautiful house and such a peaceful street in a gorgeous area. It's been such a tonic to be in York after months of lock down. Thank you for all the lovely, welcoming touches we're enjoyed and appreciated.

What a lovely house! Had everything and more. Really enjoyed our time here and will be back!

Thank you we have had a wonderful stay in your beautiful house. It is warm and welcoming and spotless! Love your good taste in decor, the mix of old and new is just right and adds interest to the period property. All beds were comfy and it is very well equipped. Thoughtful touches like flowers, milk and even birthday cake and prosecco made our brief stay a memorable one for us. Extra big thank you for the birthday cake.

We enjoyed being here. It's the right distance for York and very comfortable for a family of 5. We wold certainly recommend it for anyone wanting to stay for a few days visiting this lovely city.

“Really lovely house in a great location to be able to walk into York centre. Clean and very well presented house with absolutely no issues. We really did enjoy our 5 nights here.”

“This is a fantastic house. Great space, furnishings and location.”

We came to York to celebrate Christmas with our son and his girlfriend. The house was perfect, Christmas hamper and Christmas decorations. With tree and all! Everythihg was clean and well laid out, very well furnished too. The kitchen is also very well supplied with crockery and kitchen utensils. Perhaps including weighing scales would be an idea! Otherwise all is good. I hope all our guests will take good care of the house.

We would like to thank you for a wonderful stay. We came to York to celebrate my daughters 21st birthday with all the family.We loved this house, so homely and comfortable. We had a warm welcome with beautiful flowers, a bottle of prosecco and fresh fruit. There is nothing you need to do to this house, its amazing. Thanks again.
