The Backyard is a newly built house in York, oozing with character and offering the perfect accommodation for up to six people. Located in Heworth, a quiet residential area in York, the house is within 10 minutes walking distance from the city centre where you can access all the wonderful things this amazing city has to offer.For groceries, you are simply spoilt for choice, with all the main grocery shops within easy walking distance. The train station is only 25 minutes’ walk away (20 minutes to Leeds, 1hour 50 min to London) and if you fancy a ride into town or a day out in the countryside, the bus stop is around the corner.
On entering this property, you feel immediately at home. There is a convenient coat rack and a cupboard for shoes, plus a separate WC. The hallway leads you to a wonderfully comfortable lounge which has direct access to the garden via a bifold door, perfect for those long summer evenings. The lounge leads to a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need for cooking your holiday breakfast or a delicious evening meal.
On the first floor you will find two bedrooms plus a shared bathroom with a bath/shower. One of the bedrooms has a wonderfully comfortable king size bed with plenty of storage for you. The second bedroom is equipped with a double bed (140 cm x 200 cm) which can also be set up as a comfortable sofa. This gives the flexibility to enjoy it either as a cozy bedroom or transform it into a snug second living space. Continuing up to the second floor, there is a lovely bedroom that has twin beds that can be made up into a super-king, dependent upon your needs. This bedroom also has its own en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. Please note, individual single duvets are supplied for each bed at this property.
The house is situated in a quiet area, giving you a peaceful oasis in which to retreat when you need a break from your York adventures! It has a lovely outside space for the warm days and is a cosy retreat for the cooler nights. It also has parking for one car.
The Backyard is a special find and will provide the perfect place in York form which to begin your adventures.

Backyard NO 2, excellent stay
16 July 2025
We stayed for a few days while visiting relatives in Heworth who couldn't fit us into their house. We found the property to be scrupulously clean when we arrived. The house is of modest size but we were very impressed by the thought that had gone into the design. Everything was very usable and on a sunny day we enjoyed sitting out in the garden. We would recommend the place wholeheartedly and would readily choose to stay there again. One thing to note is that as of mid July 2025, Google Maps does not show Wood Street Mews very well. You need to go to satellite view to see the little road. Apple Maps does better and has Wood Street Mews correctly displayed. The property is well situated for visiting Heworth and close to bus stops for getting to York city centre. Say a 5 out of 5 location score for Heworth, 4 out of 5 if the intended use is York tourism.
Comfortable stay at Backyard No 2

The property was clean, tidy and had all the amenities. It was within walking distance to the city centre and supermarkets. There are also a couple of bus stops nearby and there is a parking space for one car outside the property. We had a peaceful, relaxing and comfortable stay at Backyard No 2. The only suggestion we would like to make is that it would have been nice to have a wardrobe or clothes rail in the bedrooms. We would definitely recommend the property for anyone wanting to stay in York.

Month stay in York
24 November 2023
I stayed at Backyard No2 for a month and it was okay. A very clean house with the necessary home essentials. The location is convenient to York, but perhaps not in the most desirable area. I ended up buying my own pillows as the provided ones were quite poor. As well, for a long stay the lack of a desk was inconvenient, but for a vacation house this won't be problem. Finally, it was problematic using the oven as the fire alarm is extremely sensitive.
Perfect family get away
20 August 2023
This was the perfect home for our family getaway. Home was spacious and well equipped. Great location too with a play park just up the road for the littlest of our party and only a 10 minute walk into town for everyone else. Thank you for a lovely week away :)
The Backyard No2. Highly recommend 3 bed house

Modern property in private location with easy access to York city centre. It was perfect for our family of 4. Very clean, lots of utensils and appliances provided. Everything looked new. Met the property owner who was very friendly and welcoming. Family loved the house and would definitely use again.
