The space We pride ourselves on being couples and family friendly and we offer as much as we can to make your stay an enjoyable one. After a fun day sight seeing you can have drinks in our sunny courtyard or chill out and watch a movie in the living room where the 52 inch TV has over 200 digital channels as well as Netflix and Disney+. All guests are greeted with biscuits and everything needed to make a good cuppa. If you are bringing little ones we have a high chair, cot and a variety of games and books available on request. We always make sure we supply the basics (having ourselves been frustrated by no dishwashing liquid or bin bags at rentals). We have USB charging ports in every room as well as cleaning equipment, store cupboard basics and the bathroom has soap, shower gel and shampoo. On booking we will send you a free copy of our book, York Local Knowledge: Must-do Top Tens & the vouchers to get them for less. With it, you’ll understand the historic city of York like a local. The book has tips, top tens, and information on attractions, entertainment, food, walks, tours, and festivals. You’ll also discover where to find the best discounts and vouchers, so you can enjoy everything the city has to offer without breaking the bank!
