  A little gem.

  It's a little gem hidden behind a wall, a small yard and a beautiful bungalow. Everything you need for your stay. It up an alley where Theatre @41 is situated. You will not be disappointed. Short walk to the old shops. I will book it again if its available. 10/10 Keith Dearing BRADFORD

  The garden hideaway is in a fantastic location only a 5 minute walk to the shambles. We really enjoyed our stay.!!

  Could of done with more bedding as i let my neice have the double bed (to give her some privacy) so I had the settee which was very uncomfortable there were 2 throws in a basket which i used and the eiderdown from the bed which could have done with a wash. Although we had a lovely stay I would not recommend this place for 2 women to stay as it down a dark alleyway theres a wooden gate with a lock, the entrance is just a patio door which made us feel unsafe especially as its October and the dark nights drawing in early.

  Very pleased, would recommend, with minor improvements to be made in terms of maintenance.

  Spacious and cozy place to stay, looked exactly like pictured. Easy to find and great instructions for check-in.

  Knives in kitchen need to be sharpened as they were impossible to be used, bathroom smells like sewage as the smell lifts from the bathtub and sink drains.

  Comfortable and Cozy Staycation in the City Centre

  The house was very cute and had all the amenities you might need. Bed was very comfortable, and all of the furnishings were very solid and nice and clean. Location very central and easy to get to from the station. The space was just right for a little break away.

  The doors had little to no security, only having a Yale lock or sliding bathroom style locks on the outside doors, as a woman traveling alone I felt scared and found it hard to sleep as I felt like the doors were just not secure. The gate also had a simple lock and would have been easy to climb, especially as the entrance is down an alleyway. Other issues were only related to the cleanliness, there were lots of cobwebs around the property and mould in most rooms. The kitchen tap is wobbly and had mould on the wood and so did several of the windows. The TV box did not work, it kept saying it was updating and then making a loud noise and restarting, luckily my son who lives in York was able to bring me a fire stick. Although several issues were found non eof them meant that I couldn't have a good time.

  Decent self-service house to stay in York

  The best part of this property is that you get a whole house to yourself. It is located a little outside the ring of York, in a calm alley. Value for money, indeed. It was really clean. The living room is a great place to lounge, and we think it would be the most pleasant in the Summer months. The customer service was very responsive over messages. Overall, a good stay in York.

  The layout of the house is a little uncomfortable to navigate. The bed was not the best for us, slightly small and not too comfortable a mattress for us. We would have preferred to have some toiletries, but we could manage to buy some from supermarkets nearby. Overall, value for money, but could be better.
