This lovely holiday home is in a fantastic part of York, so close to the town but also with "Bishy Road" on the doorstep. It has everything that you need close to hand. The house boast three lovely bedrooms, the top room being a good size twin. The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and there is also a house bathroom for the other two bedrooms. Downstairs you will find a cloakroom and a wonderfully comfortable and cosy lounge, with a flat screen TV for when you fancy a night in. The kitchen has everything that you need, including a Nespresso coffee machine and it leads off to the courtyard where you can sit and enjoy a morning coffee or afternoon glass of wine. The owners have taken great care with the finishes in the property to ensure your comfort during your holiday stay in York.

Please note that the double bed in the property is actually a small double.

Fantastic location, comfortable cottage

19 May 2025

We had a lovely week staying at Bishop's Court Cottage with our toddler. The location is fantastic, only a short walk into the centre of York, and with all the independent shops and cafes of Bishopthorpe Road on the doorstep. Our 2.5 year old absolutely loved Rowntree Park, which is also just a short walk away. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped. A few more chopping boards, wooden spoons and oven gloves for those like us who will be eating in most days would be great, but very minor points. Parking was a bit tight but we always found a space on the same street. We did have an issue with the parking permit expiring half way through our stay leading to a parking permit, but Stays York sorted this for us very quickly. We would stay here again.

Another Great Stay

11 December 2024

Stayed in the house for the 2nd time and once again it was excellent. Great location to walk into York away from the hustle bustle but has some lovely local bars and shops on the Bishy Road. Have recommended to friends who are coming to York for the racing as its a fantastic location for that.

Lovely property

27 October 2024

A lovely property only a short walk from the stations. The area was very quiet and friendly. The house was lovely and warm and cosy. It was big enough for a family to stay in. The kitchen needed a little more storage space for food etc and there could have a been a few more essentials such as dishwasher tablets left but all in all it was very well equipped and we would definitely book to stay again.

Great stay

31 December 2023

House was great! Perfect location and had everything we needed. Really liked being close to York as well as more local shops. Minor niggles: a Nespresso machine is provided but no pods! The king bedroom smelt of drains (am assuming from the ensuite). Overall a great stay and would definitely book again.

Nice stay

23 December 2023

Stays are a superb renting company and very responsive. The cottage is a small modernised Victorian terrace. Its listed as 6 adults but probably better as 2 adults, 3 children. Sparkling 2.5 bathrooms, and modern kitchen. We had a nice 7 nights.

Excellent accommodation, impressive customer service

10 March 2023

We had a great long weekend here. House was comfortable; nice and warm, good beds, kitchen well set up etc. Distance into city centre was perfect, some great cafes nearby. What made the deal stand out was the excellent response from the accommodation team. I needed to check the situation with the parking permit ( you should include this more prominently in your advertising, guys, it is a big selling point) and had a quick response to my phone call. Then I couldnt use the smart TV ( turned out to be entirely my fault mistyping Wi-Fi code) and the young woman came round straight away and sorted it for me. Very satisfied overall.

Excellent house in good location

9 February 2023

Very comfortable house in a pleasant area, within walking distance of the City centre and of a local shopping parade with a variety of interesting independent shops, plus a Sainsbury's Local. Comfortable sitting room with large TV . Well equipped kitchen, but could have done with some pods for the coffee machine. Filter coffee provided in the welcome pack but no cafetiere to put it in. Beds comfortable and good quality large towels. Could have done with some hooks in the bathrooms and bedrooms and a chair in the main bedroom. Otherwise cannot fault it.

Lovely clean house equipped with everything we needed during our stay. The 2nd double bedroom is very small but everything else was great. The house is in an ideal location for walking into York. The welcome box was a lovely touch.

The house was just lovely. Very clean and spacious. Located very close to the city centre, 15 mins walk, which was perfect with having two teenage children who could go out and explore together. Lovely quiet street with parking close by. The property was very well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. The welcome box contained some essentials and lots of sweet treats-thank you!

Beautiful home

25 April 2022

Really enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. Beautifully decorated. Close to all amenities. Very convenient location. Would highly recommend this home and will return. Only problem; parking permit issued was out of date. This resulted in me receiving a parking fine. This was frustrating and upsetting. Fine was paid immediately by StaysYork but left me wondering everyday if I would receive another fine.

Stays York Replied:

Thank you very much for taking the time to review the property. We would again like to offer our sincere apologies for the inconvenience regarding the parking permit. As you have said, we paid the parking fine immediately for you. Following the councils decision to move to digital permits, with the exception of holiday lets, there is unfortunately a back log with the council for paper permits. The permit had been applied for prior to it running out, however we are still waiting for the replacement. We hope that this will not prevent you from booking again as this is a lovely property, situated in a great part of York.

We really enjoyed our stay and would happily return and recommend to family and friends. Location was very good for walking into York. House was situated in a good area. Underfloor heating in the kitchen was soooo good. Thoughtful Christmas treats were left which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, clean and comfortable and very good family accommodation.

Time allowed in holiday let

19 August 2021

The holiday let was beautiful exactly as pictures etc. However, we couldnt get in before 4pm on the Saturday and had to vacate the property by 10pm on the Monday. Therefore, this was an expensive stay when we only got one full day!!! Disappointing.

The location was carefully chosen as we didn't want to stay in a busy noisy area. It was better than we hoped for, a lovely quiet road. It was a lovely walk into York, in fact there were several good ways in. We had a good selection of shops, takeaways etc just around the corner from the cottage. We needed three bedrooms and that put the price up quite a bit. The owners really had thought of everything, a washer dryer and an airer which I didn't find at first. We loved the outdoor space provided, we made good use of it! In a quiet way!

Perfect get away in a quiet residential area which was close to city centre. Everything was well thought out and made to feel like a home away from home. It was super clean, cosy and spacious. I would highly recommend. Thanks for making our stay perfect!

A gorgeous home from home

A beautiful property with all the convenience of a home.fr.home. clean and well kept. Everything we needed was thought of. With a central location to the city we couldn't have asked for any more.
