STAY IN YORK

Great apartment with everything you need in it . It has the perfect location as its a 5 minute walk to the centre of the city . The building its self is spotless and very secure & its a big plus with the secure parking on site . The only down side was the weather was in the 30 s & the apartment held the heat making the temperature in the apartment extremely warm even with all the windows open & the both fans that were provided running .I know this is not the norm but it could be in the future my be an air conditioning unit in the bedroom could be an upgrade for the future. All in all we had a fantastic break and the accommodation added to the experience with its condition ,central location, security & the secure parking .

Fabulous apartment in great location

Four of us (two couples) stayed at Waterside Retreat for three nights. The apartment lived up to the photographs on the website. It was fabulous and with two bedrooms, each with en-suite it suited our needs perfectly. The apartment was very comfortable, clean and had (almost!) everything we needed for a perfect stay - the addition of a small hand towel for the cloakroom and a set of kitchen scales would be really useful. The welcome pack was a nice touch. The location was great, within easy walking distance of all the main York attractions but far enough out of the centre to be quiet and peaceful at night. Having a secure parking bay for the duration of our stay was great. We would certainly recommend and hope to be able to stay at Waterside again in the future. The information received from Stays York in advance of our stay was really helpful and clear.

What a wonderful apartment, clean and spacious. It's close to the city centre with 2 pubs and a food hall 100 yards away if you don't fancy a walk. Everything we wanted to see and do in York was an easy walk away but we need to come back again as we ran out of time and it was way too hot to walk the city walls while we were there. We'd happily stay here again.

Amazing apartment

Hi there, Thank you for the review. I am sorry that you had issues with the hot water. The owners have since had this looked at and confirmed it is working. We will also look into the issue with the toaster, I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Kind regards. Stays York

Great weekend. Clean, comfortable and well equipped apartment. Super entrance hall to the building. A couple of minor maintenance issues in the bathroom already informed the office. One was the Xpelair which may have been turned off by the cleaner as experienced in other places. Would recommend this company wholeheartedly. Try ASK Italian for the ambiance and the food is good too. Betty’s in the evening is an experience. Enjoy.

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we really appreciate the feedback. We would be delighted to host you again! Kind regards, Stays York

We were all very impressed with the accommodation. It was extremely clean and beautifully appointed. Very spacious and comfortable. The reception service was first class and very helpful. It was a short walk into the town centre. There was secure parking for the car. Overall a great place to spend a few days in York. Peter.

Fantastic, comfortable apartment a five minute walk to the city centre and close to all the main attractions in York. The apartment is really cosy and has everything you may need for a break away, especially the comfy beds. The fact that the property comes with a secure parking space was a huge plus. The staff in the main foyer were also really friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back.

Location wise Ryedale House is at excellent location, just 5 min to the centre of the town. The apartment Waterside is beautiful and well equipped. The apartment is what you seen in photos. It also provides a car park space which is important to us. If you would like to have a short stay in York, Waterside is by all means an excellent choice, and I certainly would recommend.

Apartment is well located near the centre. Very tastefully decorated with excellent facilities. Very clean and excellent view. Only ask is that the modular sofa needs bolting together as uncomfortable as keeps separating. Parking space is a welcomed bonus.

Thank you for your feedback! I am glad you had a lovely stayu in York. Thank you for highlighting the issues with the sofa bed, we will see what we can do to make this more comfortable. Kind regards Hannah

Waterside Retreat was absolutely beautiful and clean. We said we could live there if we could. The only problem was on our second day the people who were staying next door slammed their door every time they left the apartment. This spoiled our break as said apartment wasn't owned by Stays York. It would start at 7.30 every morning till roughly 9.30 at night. Sometimes they were in and out 3 or 4 times in 10 mind. But all in all it was a lovely apartment and well looked after. The little touches around it was a nice touch.

A lovely decorated apartment, short walk from centre of york. immaculately clean except for sheet on mattress had a blood stain on it and another stain { obviously not checked by company who clean them, or checked by company who change bedding }. Chest of drawers in master bedroom had been missed a dusting. Small white head hairs on it. Such a shame, as the rest of apartment immaculate clean. Secure parking place,and secure entrance. Most apartments are owned by the residents,nice and quiet,and asked to respect peoples homes in the building. A bit expensive for 2 people,but a nice treat. Would book again

The apartment was extremely comfortable with luxury furnishings and super comfy beds. It had everything and more for a great city break. Shops and attractions are only minutes away. Everything was cleaned and maintained to a high level and the smell from the high end diffusers greeted you perfectly as you entered the building. Great value for money would highly recommend this apartment.

This is our second break in the Riverside accommodation and the standards have remained very high. The beds were very comfy and the facilities within the flat was excellent and everything was thought of. Very handy to have the washing machine and dishwasher, although we ate out most days. The facilities were excelllent and the lift to the 6th floor was very useful and clean. Thanks for another wonderful stay. We will be back soon!

Absolutely gorgeous apartment felt we was living in real luxury it is on the expensive side but it’s nice to treat yourself, It works out cheaper if four of us stayed but otherwise wouldn’t go if it was just two .Back to the apartment it was spotless you could not fault anything we had a nice view of York it’s right in a prime location for everything. The apartment was elegant the decor was absolutely gorgeous it also smelt Devine everything was tastefully done , Also it was so comfortable the beds was super comfy would definitely go back again .Just one slight fault I think it needs a tele in the second room just to have it there would have been ideal . The lady on the main reception she was amazing so friendly and approachable we would have been slightly stuck if she wasn’t there getting the keys to get in firstly . Honestly the lady deserves all the stars for her hospitality she’s amazing , had our little chats each day she was lovely so nice to be greeted by her each time we went in or out on the main reception so thank you to her she’s doing an amazing job , it’s all part of the stay that makes it worthwhile.

This was the second time my wife and I have stayed in this property, the first time was with family and this time with friends. After the first experience it was very easy to recommend the property to friends knowing that they would enjoy what we’d enjoyed on our first visit. I can honestly say that when we visit York again either with family or friends we will hopefully be stopping in this property far a third time.

With 3 adults and one baby it was a perfect place to stay in York. Close to the centre, quiet and comfortable. The apartment had everything one needed for a short stay. Beds were incredibly comfortable, bathrooms (1 with bath) were perfect for 2 couples or family. With the secure car park I certainly would recommend Waterside Resort for your visit to York.

The central location of the apartment was excellent. Given the cost of parking in York, the fact that the apartment came with a parking space in a secure private car park was an absolute bonus. The apartment was so tastefully decorated, views amazing and the welcome box with tea, coffee, milk sachets, chocolate, crisps and biscuits was a really lovely touch.

The location is perfect, 2 minute walk into the City centre. The view of the river from the apartment is so lovely. We also couldn’t believe how quiet it is inside the apartment, couldn’t hear any outside noise at all. The beds are so comfortable, as is the sofa, we didn’t want to leave! The apartment is so well equipped. 100% luxury, we really couldn’t have asked for anything better.
