5 Precentors Court

  • 3 bedrooms
  • 1 bathrooms
  • From £250.00

A stunning example of a holiday home set in the shadows of the iconic York Minster.

Upon entering from the private entrance on street you will be immediately wowed by the quality of the property and the fantastic attention to detail within.

On the ground floor you will find a superb, spacious kitchen that wouldn't look out of place on the cover of an interiors magazine with top end appliances and dining seating for 8. The main living room is right next door and features a wrap around sofa and LCD Smart TV. You can also access the gorgeous private patio area from this level via the external door at the back of the room. The patio has outdoor furniture and seating and is just perfect for enjoying the summer evenings with a drink.

Moving upstairs to the first floor you will find the house bathroom. A larger than average room with a huge walk in shower, his and hers sinks and a luxurious freestanding bath. The master bedroom is also on the same level and contains a sumptuous king size bed, drawer, wardrobe and wall mounted LCD TV.

On the top floor are the remaining 2 bedrooms. The first of which is a double and the twin room can be found right next door. Both bedrooms have access to a walk in wardrobe room just off the landing.

The house also benefits from having a converted basement. On the way down to this there is a separate toilet room just off the stairs. In the basement you will find a second living room with an additional TV and also a large utility room that houses the washer/dryer and an additional fridge.

Permit parking is provided at a nearby car park for 1 car.

Amazing house in amazing location. No downsides! Would love to return. Couldn’t be more central for exploring York! Stay here. You definitely won’t regret it!

Beautiful property on Minster doorstep

The location was perfect and the property was ideal for our needs. It is well maintained and very well presented we all loved it. The welcome pack was good some unexpected treats but could do with more milk. My only complaint which was upsetting is that someone took the parking space were we allocated we contacted stays York who told us to find a car park and use that and they would refund any charges. They also said they would put a note on the car that was in our spot but they didn't do this. Twice they told us they would do this but didn't it caused a lot of upset and stress trying to drive round a busy unknown city . A pity because they had been very good up to that point . We were told we would be fined if we didn't put the Parking Permit in our car yet an unknown woman (my daughter eventually saw her getting in her car) just parked with no comeback. I would still use Stays York as they were very competitive the property was certainly worth what we paid and I would highly recommend it.

A lovely property very well equipped and furnished and in a very central, yet quiet location. The courtyard garden was a real bonus.

We absolutely loved York. Precentors Court was in the perfect location to explore the city, and the chiming of the bells was just so special. The building is full of character and charm, making it a great stay.

Great location

The place itself was cosy and well-maintained. My room was spacious, with a comfortable bed that made it hard to get up in the mornings. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to whip up breakfast before heading out for the day. One of the highlights was the small outdoor space. It felt like a peaceful retreat, especially after a day of exploring the local sights. The location was another plus. It was just a short walk to the Minster and close to charming cafes and restaurants. Overall, I had a fantastic stay. If you’re looking for a cosy and inviting place for your holiday, I definitely recommend this spot.

Gorgeous property in the best by location in York!

We visit York 3-4 times a year for mini breaks full of shopping, great food ( Bettys is a must! ) and socialising and have previously stayed in another property on Precentors court, so we know how fantastic the location is! Ideal as you are straight out into the centre of York. This house is lovely. Spacious, very clean, comfy and the outside space is a real bonus! Great big table in the kitchen and nice to have the two lounges also. We will certainly be staying here again and would recommend it highly. The only very slight niggle was that, as stated by a previous review, the mattress on the first floor bed is dipped and in need of replacing. This is a minor point though. We really enjoyed our stay here and all the delights that York has to offer.

Delightful long weekend in York

In my opinion, Precentors Court could not be better located for a long weekend in York. It sits in a quiet street, surrounded by other period properties, is a stone’s throw from York Minster and the wonderful narrow streets of the city centre. There are also numerous eateries a few minutes walk away. Bedrooms are a decent size, the master generous with sash windows front and rear. Bathroom is well appointed and comfortable - as well as the shower, there’s a separate roll top bath. Sunny weather enabled us to enjoy the courtyard garden. In all, we had a great stay!

It’s a WOW from us!

The location of this property is simply amazing! We were gobsmacked and feel very lucky to have found it! Set in the shadow of the Minster, it is a short walk to almost anywhere in central York - but still very quiet in the house (except for the church bells). Everything we could have needed was there. Note that the house is spread over four floors, which we thought only added to its charm… Winner, winner!

Wonderful Stay

We had a wonderful stay at #5 Precentor's Court. It is a lovely old home in an excellent location near the York Minster with a very pleasant courtyard in the back. Just wish it had two baths/showers instead of only one. Also, may need to replace mattress in first floor bedroom as it was a bit uneven. Overall, we had an enjoyablel stay here.

We were staying during Christmas and the house was decorated for the purpose (thank you!). The location is splendid, it couldn't be more central and peaceful at the same time. It was very convenient for each of us to shop for gifts. You can hear the Minster bells between 8am and 8pm, but I found it charming and created quite a Christmas atmosphere. The house is very traditional, charming, and well decorated. It's spacious and very comfortable. The weather didn't allow us to use the terrace, but I believe it would be quite pleasant during the Spring / Summer. I believe I will stay here again on my next visit to York!

Beautiful old house just down side street from York Minster. Was handy to be so central with the pre Xmas market crowds. We could return to the house to chill before going out again. Our party consisted of four adults and two children and everything suited to what we needed. Beautifully furnished with plenty of glasses, cups, plates etc. Would definitely recommend for larger group of people. We had to arrive in two cars, and only one with parking was allowed a few minutes away from the property. My husband had to enlist the help of a local resident to be sure he parked in the allocated bay. Believe it could be marked clearer. The only other thing to mention was the heating was on very low when we arrived and the property spreading over such an area took quite a while to heat up.

Fantastic accommodation in the heart of York

We could not be more happy with our accommodation at Precentors Court! The rooms were spacious and very clean and also very comfortable. The location was superior and only a short walk to everything the City of York has to offer! I will definitely look to stay here again.

An absolute gem

We stayed for three nights across the bank holiday weekend, having previously lived in the centre of York a few years ago. This is a beautifully appointed house on probably the most exclusive street in York and is central to all that York has to offer whilst being very private. The only thing to be mindful of is that the Minster bells are loud and regular, but they stop for c 12 hours from 8pm. We’d be keen to stay again.

Excellent house in a great location

We stayed in the house on the Easter weekend. House is beautifully done and very well looked after. Nice spacious rooms, large kitchen, beautiful and clean bathroom, with two leaving rooms (one equipped with toys) and a small garden. Location is amazing, everywhere is walking distance, York Minster is 1 minute away, dining and shopping streets around the corner. Absolutely wonderful stay, recommend this house wholeheartedly!

Great flat right near the York Minster with plenty of room for our group. Walking distance to the entire walled-in part of the city. Nice showers and comfortable beds. Nice updated, modern feel in a a building from the 1300s! Would definitely stay here again when back in York.

Location doesn't get any better than this, however they don't rest on their laurels, freindliness, attention to detail and quality are all in abundance here. Loved staying here, and would rebook in a heartbeat. Car parking was a bonus, fresh bread and wine unexpected treats. Literally 30 paces from door to Minster, and excellent property to explore the delights of York centre.

We stayed for 3 nights to bring our team together, so we spent a lot of time within the house, it wasn't just somewhere to sleep at night. It was important that it was light and airy and big enough for us all to co-exist and be productive in that space - and it was perfect. The house is beautiful and very well equipped. It's clean and functional with some lovely bonus outdoor space. It is a perfect location for exploring York and so when we did venture out, we were right on the doorstep of all the things we wanted to do and see. We loved our stay, thank you! We'd love to come back!

In York for daughter’s graduation in The Minster. House could not have been better. Perfect position, lots of space. Beautiful inside. Welcome provisions (as described beforehand). Small Tesco and Sainsbury very close. The Minster bells can be heard during the day, but not between 8 and 8 I think. The free parking is a 5 minute walk away, and very welcome as York was very busy and all the car parks were full.<br /> Would definitely recommend.
