This is a perfect location to reach everywhere we needed to whilst staying in York. Quaint and rural, the bungalow met our needs, albeit it was better than we expected for such a small home. Our children enjoyed it, they managed to feed the many different birds that visited and we even got to see hot air balloons during a nice clear day, which was a treat. There’s so much to see in York and I think we just about exhaust the museums and parks. We will be back. Thanks for a lovely stay.

I was so pleased with this lovely cottage, a home from home in a quiet street. I would recommend this highly as a great place to stay.

“The cottage is in an ideal place ...”

The cottage is in an ideal place with access to York by bus around the corner. It is spacious and comfortable with everything you need when you are away from home. The heating is on permanently and this makes the cottage cosy at all times. Even though it was really cold when we were there, there were birds and squirrels around in the garden which were really enjoyable to watch. Mike, the owner, was available at all times for questions and we were surprised and delighted to fin a welcome basket of goodies to enjoy during our stay. We will definitely be booking this property again.

“Me and my boyfriend enjoyed our ...”

Me and my boyfriend enjoyed our stay in this cottage during January. The cottage itself was clean, tidy and had all the facilities we needed. It's situated only a few minutes walk from the bus stop that takes you directly into York. This meant we could avoid the expensive parking fees and head into York a little bit later in the day. Having stayed in January I can say that the heating is great and was on a timer. We didn't need to put the heating on any extra and felt perfectly warm even on some days when we stayed inside. Also the beds are very comfortable and the shower and bath are glorious. The friendly welcoming owner even left us a basket of tasty treats! Overall I would say that this cottage is wonderful and I can see us booking this place again in the warmer months so that we can enjoy sitting out in the garden or making use of the cute little dinning nook outside! 5 STARS

“My husband and I are pensioners and ...”

My husband and I are pensioners and the heating was to be on in evening till 11 but was off around 7 when we tried to put it on boost he would turn it off very cold it is December, no window coverings on French doors so even colder. Shame came home a day earlier that's what spoilt our holiday.

“Excellent holiday cottage”

This is the second time we have stayed in Micklegarth and we hope to return next year. The cottage is spacious, airy and comfortable with everything you will need for a holiday stay. Micklegarth is conveniently situated to visit local attractions in this part of Yorkshire; a short bus ride into the wonderful city of York and easy access to the ring road to take you further afield. There is so much to do in the area for all ages and the owner has gone to some trouble to provide oodles of information on where to visit including local eateries and takeaways. We were very fortunate with the weather and took advantage of the lovely peaceful garden, enjoying the evening sun and a glass or two of wine. Suitable for families or couples this is a perfect location for an enjoyable holiday. Batteries are now well and truly recharged and I'm ready to rejoin the rat race!

Wonderful bungalow ideally situated for York. A bus stop at the end of street is five mins into city. All amenities in nearby Haxby and great base for exploring surrounding area.I would definitely recommend this property.

“Excellent choice for York”

This property is in the ideal position for a holiday in York; near enough by bus to the city centre but also near to the outer ring road for getting out and about. The house is in a quiet little road, so no traffic to worry about if you have children. Very comfortable, warm and well kept property with everything you need for a break there. Beautiful garden if the weather allows you to get into it! Owner lives nearby so easy to get help if needed and was very welcoming.

About the location

YORK

Leeds 25 miles;

The city of York needs no recommendation, for it teems with interest for the holidaymaker: the Minster, its medieval walls, boat trips on the River Ouse, York Races, museums(including the famous National Railway Museum and the Castle Museum), and the internationally-renowned Jorvik Viking Centre and its "time trip" experience. Summer and winter, there is something to fascinate the whole family. Explore York’s quaint streets and hidden corners, or take an excursion further afield to the Dales, Moors or the coastal resorts of Scarborough, Whitby and Filey. Yorkshire is rich in stately homes, with Harewood House and Castle Howard just two of several within an hour’s drive. A cycling city boasting two theatres, character pubs and great shopping, York has it all.
