Girls weekend

Excellent location close to the city. Good size rooms and beds comfortable. Showers good. Luckily one of party knew how to use the range. The bedrooms very warm and some windows didn’t open. Apart from this the stay was very good. Close to castle Howard had a fab day visiting the Xmas event.

Good location

Lovely house in a brilliant location, close enough to walk to attractions yet quiet. We loved the conservatory- kept beautifully warm by the kitchen range, though cooking with the range was tricky and we didn’t discover the microwave until the final day! Clean and functional, daughter loved the attic room and en-suite! Thank you for a good stay

Simply the best

We couldn't have asked for more. The property is perfectly situated just outside the city walls within a few minutes walk of all of York's main attractions. The parking permit was a huge bonus. Everything one could possibly want was available in the property: clean, attractively decorated, well maintained and with a charming courtyard garden. Perfect.

Good size well located property

Enjoyed this property, spacious for 4 adults, v close to centre, easy level walk, close to convenience stores and parking was easy. Two bathrooms with showers as well as a bath - main bathroom shower powerful and hot water plentiful, no complaints! Minor inconveniences - no properly working freezer, double bed mattress needs replacing (we sloped into the middle a bit). Didn’t use cooker, used fridge, wash machine, dryer, kettle - really appreciated these devices! Patio garden was nice tho rain prevented us sitting out Didn’t try TV etc but wifi was good Would stay again

Great location a few minutes walk from the city centre. Managed to get to grips with the Esse by reading & following instructions carefully. Could be tricky if you can't bend. It was lovely to have table & chairs outside for breakfast & dinner when weather allowed. May have been useful if leaves had been brushed up before our arrival as they blew into the house and stuck to our shoes. A small coffee table or tables in the lounge would be useful. Having parking space was a huge bonus.

Beautiful house lovely location

The only issues we had were that the stairs are remarkably steep, which seems to be a bit of an English thing. And we discovered one of the curtains in the lounge room was falling off its rail, which I would imagine they would have fixed by now, as I did let them know. The house is beautiful, and truly within walking distance from the centre of York for sightseeing purposes. Having a bathroom on the second and third floor’s was very handy although for my elderly mother to have to get up to the first floor, every time she needed the toilet was a bit of a pain.

Our stay in York

This house is in a fantastic location. When you step out the door, the Minster's towers are right before you. It is a fine house and served us well. The photographs in the website are cleverly taken and the sitting room is better in them - brighter, larger and more magnificent - than the real thing. The real thing is perfectly ok,. The company chooses not to offer the opportunity to recycle. This is frustrating. The attic room is good fun. Our teenage children enjoyed staying up there. The kitchen is full of useful things. The conservatory is a nice place to sit, though some of the furniture is a wee bit broken. We liked it.

Handy Location, good value but small issues stop property reaching full potential.

We stayed in 7 St John's Crescent during April 2025 to celebrate a special family birthday in York. The booking process and entry to the property was straightforward. The property has lovely period features and is well proportioned (we had four people staying but it could easily accommodate six, as advertised) The property is really well located, near to Monk Bar, with a view of York Minster at the end of the street. Overall I would recommend the property (and we would use it again if we were to visit York), however there were a few minor issues: The property has an Esse range cooker (like an aga) and when we arrived the pilot light was out (i.e. it wouldn't heat up) - the instructions provided didn't cover that problem; I tried phoning the "emergency" phone number (it was after office hours) however it went straight to voicemail and we didn't ever get a call back. I eventually managed to get instructions on the internet and got the pilot light lit and was able to cook the planned birthday dinner, however it was an unnecessarily stressful start to the weekend. The property had been cleaned, however many surfaces hadn't been dusted (a family member put his arm on the mantle piece in the dining room and his sleeve was covered with a layer of dust), there were a few cobwebs in the top corners of most rooms. Unfortunately, the property has clothes moths in it, mostly seen upstairs, the problem was particularly bad in the attic room and one oven tin was so greasy that even after I'd cleaned it we lined it with foil. When we arrived, the bin in the front garden was full to overflowing, leaving us wondering where we would leave our rubbish, it was emptied on the Sunday during our stay. These small issues didn't spoil our stay, but they do stop a property with a lot of potential getting a better rating from me. If the owner/manager of the property could sort these issues the property could be five-star...

Great location, so close to the city

Only a 5-8 mins walk from Monks Gate and the City, this is an ideal property for exploring York and surrounding area. The parking permit for one car is handy. We were able to park directly outside the house. There is ample room for 6 persons. There is a well equipped kitchen with Arga style range that takes some getting used to. Just need to allow extra time to cook. The house was well presented and clean. Be aware there is no ground floor toilet and the stairs to the attic bedroom are quite steep.The only thing that let the house down was the lounge, which was perfectly functional, but the furniture was tired and grubby. New furniture in this room would lift the whole ambiance of the property. Despite this, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend it.

The property was well presented and comfortable. Everything was in walking distance and it was no trouble parking the car because of residence permit. A great place to stay when visiting York. Only downsides were rear yard was so overgrown it was unusable, the welcome pack was derisory.

A beautiful property in easy walking distance to York centre

We had a wonderful stay at St John's Crescent. The house is beautiful, and is decorated with style and class, not just another IKEA catalogue rental! It is in easy walking distance to the beautiful city, and also to local shops and a playground which came in handy when the kids got tired of sightseeing!

Great location for exploring York on foot

A great period house in a quiet street. York centre is a 5 min walk away so this is a great base to explore the city. The house was warm welcoming with a lovely kitchen.

Awesome location

Great place to stay close to everything! Easy walk to the Minster and everything else York has to offer. Also close to grocery shopping and so many restaurants! Very comfortable house with everything we needed to get started. We had some beautiful days so I was able to enjoy my coffee in the lovely back garden.

Beautiful spot within walking distance to York

We loved our stay here. It was a quiet spot on a road that was closed to traffic. They provided free parking passes for the days we were there and it was walking distance to York. I especially loved the conservatory and small back garden area. The house was well stocked and comfortable for our family of 5 adults. I would have liked a microwave and detailed instructions on the use of the Esse stove. Being from the US, we were unfamiliar with how to turn it on! However, we would fully recommend this property and would return again in a heartbeat.

Great neighborhood near the city center

We traveled to York from the U.S. communication with the property manager was excellent. We drove from Manchester to York with no problem. There is ample parking. The house is much prettier in person. There’s plenty of room to spread out. Brief walk to the city center. Nice and quiet neighborhood.

Good for city centre

The house is well located for a city break, 5mins zigzagging through some back lanes and you’re within the inner city walls via monk gate. Procedures are swift and self explanatory. The property itself has seen many generations of guests which is mainly felt in the bed and reception rooms. Kitchen and bath are best for cleanliness. The cleaners know their job. There is a black throw on the double bed that might need to be exchanged or properly cleaned as it does not smell good anymore. Upon arrival the house was cold which was not very welcoming, it needed a whole evening to get warmer and being a frosty night the atmosphere didn’t feel nice. Maybe someone should check on day of arrival if the default 10C the heating is set on are enough.
