The Townhouse

We had a lovely week at The Townhouse, everything was as described, beds very comfortable, good showers and facilities, lovely well equipped kitchen.

Location excellent short walk to York Minster, Shambles and shops. Parking arrangement worked well.

What a place - classy, classic, comfy and cosy, yet mere feet (less than 100 yards!

) from the Minster and Goodramgate. Quiet, peaceful, beautifully maintained (and huge thanks to the property manager, Janette, who cheerfully answered a few questions we had before we went). The courtyard is a bonus although it doesn’t get much sun! Living room is huge and cosy, kitchen and diner is massive and fitted with high end equipment. Main bedroom is huge with lovely en suite, main bathroom is huge, the double on the 2nd floor is smaller, but the other bedroom up there, with twin beds, is also huge - might benefit from a bit of a swap around there if two couples are staying. The whole house is spotless and manages to mix cosy with contemporary. Everything is within easy (I mean really easy) walking distance from the front door - and the dedicated parking space is 3 minutes walk away and invaluable, worth its weight in gold, York is a hugely busy place. We’ll definitely return, not only to see more of the wider area (thank you again, parking space!) but knowing this is such a brilliant, comfortable and central spot.

Wow, what an awesome house!

It had everything that we needed, the beds and bedding were great, we all slept really well. all the creature comforts you need, great kitchen diner. The parking was only 2 mins away and was ideal as York is awful and expensive for parking. Its location is the its best feature, it is 1 minute walk from the Minster, a load of pubs, restaurants and shops, the shambles, everything really, its in the best place!! Loved it, will definitely be returning!

We have been holidaying in York for a long time but hadn't stayed in the centre for a while.

The Town House was a great find, in a really convenient location just off Goodramgate with all sorts of different shops and pubs on the doorstep. Yes the 3 flights of stairs could be a challenge but the accommodation is brilliantly thought out with super comfy beds, multiple TVs, plenty of storage and bathroom facilities, plus extra touches like the welcome goodies and complimentary toiletries. Owner Warren and property manager Janette are both very friendly and attentive, making sure queries were answered and that we had all the information we needed. We hope to be back :-)

Booked the Townhouse for a family get away at Christmas (6 adults) We found the house to be exactly as listed, very clean with a nice large kitchen with everything we needed to cook a Christmas dinner, the lounge was cosy with the added touch of a Christmas tree, plenty of storage in the bedrooms and the beds were extremely comfortable.

TV's in every room (including the kitchen). Perfectly situated within the City walls. As the property is over 4 floors anyone with mobility issues would struggle, however this was not an issue at all for us. (we def got our steps in). Would def recommend this property. Loved out stay, thank you :-)

Excellent location within the city walls.

Warm, well appointed, well catered for mixed groupings with bathroom, en-suite and two cloakrooms, comfortable beds. For those of fading mobility the stairs between floors can be heroic.

Lovely place its the second time we have stayed there Thankyou

Lovely spacious townhouse furnished tastefully and to a high standard.

Equipped with everything you would need. Great location and ideal space for a break with family or a group of friends. Lovely touches with a welcome basket of goodies and little toiletries. Definitely recommended.

Excellent location for discovering York, free parking, always a bonus, We had a great holiday.

Although we enjoyed our family break in York we will be returning to the Townhouse.

On our arrival we found bins that hadn’t been emptied for us (clumps of dark, coloured hair from previous guests left in a bedroom bin plus a full blue recycling box left down in the kitchen with waste from previous guests - Not a great start unfortunately!) The window blinds throughout the house were dusty and hadn’t been cleaned for a while. Overall we felt that the house hadn’t had a full and proper clean prior to our arrival which is disappointing. On the last morning of our holiday we decided to strip the beds and pillows of the 3 bedrooms (as we usually do on self catering breaks) and unfortunately this revealed filthy stained mattresses and pillows that you really don’t want to be sleeping on top of! Positives of the Townhouse being the location which was ideal for exploring the beautiful city of York and the parking arrangements which were straightforward enough. We left the property feeling very disappointed and let down by the poor cleanliness standards and particularly the lack of hygiene around the bedding.

4 adults dog and 2 year old.

lots of stairgates which was great, an amazingly quiet house for being so close to the Minster. Caretaker was lovely and answered all our daft questions, we never used the car at all as there was plenty for all to do right on the doorstep. Despite the heat ( which was considerable) we all slept well in the comfy beds. Early morning noise on the street was an early wake up but thats ok if you are in a city. All in all a comfortable well equiped property in an ideal location.

Absolutely loved our time at York townhouse.

Very central position-couldn’t have been any better-walkable to everywhere. It’s a townhouse and states not for mobility issues and yes the steps are steepish but we knew that and so didn’t bother us-in our 60s and good to keep fit! Everything was as described and loved the outdoor space.

Our 2nd stay here.

I’m very happy with location of the town house, all shops and attractions very close but quite on a night. We are planning a third stay already. The house was very clean and well equipped. And parking was reasonably close.

The townhouse is in the perfect spot.

It's quiet but right next to the Minister. There's loads of lovely restaurant, cafes and bars minutes away. The beds are comfortable and the bedding and towels were clean. The house had original sash windows so without the heating on it quickly got cold, but the heating worked quickly and soon heated it up. The little courtyard area out the back was nice. The kitchen is well equipt and large. Overall this is a lovely place, but it needs some touching up of paintwork and the shower tray is showing a bit mould. It really should be clear in the listing that there is only parking for one car, as we had two and it was really expensive to park it while we were there. The one recommended was £20 per day. This adds quite a bit to an already pretty expensive stay. One more little thing that's worth mentioning is that the handles are round and very smooth and because of their positioning they can be hard to grip easily. I had to be rescued from the toilet a couple of times because I could open the door. Lovely handles, but not the most practical. I just stopped closing the door properly .... Overall a really great central but quiet location and nice comfortable beds and sofas.

Great property in an ideal location, within the city walls and just a few minutes walk from all the facilities.

The kitchen is very well equipped with a modern dishwasher and washer/dryer. The caretaker is especially helpful, local and a text message away which gave our stay a 'looked after' feel. Only minor criticism is that, being a townhouse it has a lot of steps, though this was described well in the description. One of the very best holiday houses I have every stayed in. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic place in a great location and fantastic staff.

Very helpful!

This is a fantastic property

We loved our stay at the Town House.

I don't think you could find a better located property, it's so close to the minster and shops. Beds were very comfortable and worthy of mention. Owner was friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again.

Excellent location House was lovely, but it does need.

Information about wi-fi and how the heating works As in information book it got wrong Wi-Fi code and doesn't say how you work the heating. Apart from that, we had a lovely stay.

The second time we have stayed here and it didn’t disappoint, great location and a homely house.

We loved the house.

The situation was perfect,would love to stay again. Only thing wrong was the loose kitchen tap.

It’s a really nice property in an ideal location to see the city.

Main downsides are all the stairs, including some steep stairs down to the kitchen, and no shower on top floor where 2 bedrooms are located.

Excellent property with great location in York.

The parking space a little distant but understandable due to the situation of the house in the city centre and the narrow streets. We found the house to be well maintained and very clean throughout. The large kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. The family made good use of the smart TV as the weather wasn’t great during our stay. Beds were comfortable and the rooms were pretty spacious. We had plenty of toilet/bathrooms to accommodate the five of us who stayed. Enjoyed our week and would like to return one day.

Loved the location and the whole feel of the property.

It was extremely well furnished and equipped. Only thing we couldn’t find was a dustpan. As we were not the youngest of guests we tried to keep our trips up the stairs to a minimum but you had warned us before we went and we knew what to expect. The great location more than made up for that small inconvenience .

Really fine property with everything you need for a comfortable stay, well equipped in all areas and with an excellent outdoor space.

But the main positive to this home is the location. It is right in the heart of York which is a fabulous and fun city with endless things to do and places to eat and drink. The house is in a peaceful spot so you don’t feel the hustle and bustle of the city centre but you are literally yards away from it. Highly recommended.

NIce old house in a brilliant position within York.

Excellent facilities and particularly liked the on-suite facilities in main bedroom. Wasn't clear when I booked that there was only one car parking space that came with the property. Ideal for a family wishing to explore York and surroundings.

The Townhouse was absolutely perfect for our stay in York.

We had everything we needed, just a few minutes walk from the heart of the city centre. Comfy beds, the house was nice and warm, a TV in all the main rooms (kitchen, living room and all three bedrooms), designated parking space just a short walk away, which wasn’t a problem at all as we hardly used the car anyway. Very friendly place to stay, with lots of history. We would highly recommend a stay at The Townhouse.

A great holiday spot.

With so much to do on the doorstep, it was a wonderful location. The cottage was well-equipped and impeccably clean. The owners had provided thoughtful details that made this an extra special destination..

Overall very happy with property which is very well equipped and in an excellent location.

Attacked by over zealous neighbour re parking to unload and load. It almost appeared that they lay in wait!!!!!! Our party consisted of 6 and not all could sit comfortably to watch TV as 3 chairs have short seats, not ideal for tall people. Overall cleanliness very good but cleaner needs to watch dust and bits collecting under furniture. The extractor fan in the ensuite disturbed the guests in the bedroom above with its noise and vibration. The above are not particularly complaints just hopefully helpful points to make this property perfect. We'll done and keep up your standards.

Excellant stay lovely hpuse all amenities very good location cannot fault this house would book and stay again

We loved staying in this property, it was everything we hoped for and more.

The townhouse is beautifully decorated and cozy for nights in. Although we did not do any cooking there is everything you require to create delicious meals. The location was fantastic. Right in the center of York, just a few meters away from restaurants, pubs, cafes, shops and the market. Once we unloaded our stuff and parked the car up, in the parking space provided, (just a couple of minutes walk away), we didn't need to use the car again all week. There is plenty to experience close by and a lot of dog friendly places to eat too. Although right in the center it was peaceful overnight. Can't wait to visit again in the future.

Great house and location.

Will definitely book again. Personal touches and thoughtful items like hand gel supplied . The only problem was an issue with the rubbish collection which I’m sure will be resolved.

Excellent property.

Excellent location. We really enjoyed our stay in York. So much to see and the property was in the perfect location to explore all the major sights.

Lovely house in a great location.

Very spacious accommodation. Beautiful decor and furnishings whilst it was also very relaxing. Appreciated the availability of Netflix and Disney plus.

Excellent facilities, ideal location.

Spotless on arrival. Issue with keysafe sorted straight away. Highly recommended. Thank you for a lovely break in York
