About this property
4 St Martins Lane. Luxurious Central York Town House. Newly refurbished
4 St Martins Lane York has 4 bedrooms and sleeps 8 people in luxury.
It was built in circa 1850 and as is typical of houses of that period it's packed full of character. We have the original beautiful winding spindled staircase with oak handrail, period fireplaces in the lounge and bedrooms. The house feels 'Grand' as soon as you enter with high ceilings, ornate coving and plaster work.
It has just been renovated so everything is new (except for the odd antique!) Downstairs we have the lounge/dining room with oak herringbone floor, a sumptuous velvet corner sofa and comfy leather armchair and 40" TV. The dining room has a farmhouse table and Monks bench and comfortably seats 8. This in turn leads onto the kitchen with bespoke cabinets, quartz worktops, integrated appliances including dishwasher,fridge/freezer, washing machine/dryer,large Smeg range cooker and belfast sink. The bi fold doors open to reveal a good sized courtyard with bespoke seating area and planting, ideal to relax with that morning coffee or a cheeky Prosecco! Downstairs there is also a cloakroom with toilet and sink. The first floor has 2 King size bedrooms with top quality bedding and furnishings. There is also a luxury bathroom with marble tiles and Hansgrohe Rain Shower. Walking up to the second floor there is a King size bedroom and a twin bedroom. There is also another bathroom with bath and rain shower over with marble tiles.
Top, hotel quality thick fluffy towels, 100% cool crisp cotton sheets and sumptuous pocket sprung mattresses make for a great nights sleep.
The location is perfect because it is so central, yet quiet. From our front door just turn left and 20 metres you are on Micklegate, one of York's most famous and interesting streets.
We have a fast WiFi connection.
Because we are so central, there is no parking on site, however parking can be booked for £10 a day through Louise.
We have lots of ammenities in the house, board games for rainy days, a selction of books, high chair, kids toys etc.
There are a huge choice of restaurants and bars within short walking distance. There is even one pub on St Martins Lane itself - The Achorne, one of York's hidden gems, a must if you like real ale. There is a Sainsburys Local supermarket around the corner (2 mins walk), Tesco Local (3 mins walk) or a M&S Food (5 mins walk). There are also a big range of takeaways very close by.
Regrettably out of respect for our neighbours we cannot accept bookings from Stag and Hen parties as we are in a quiet residential part of the city.

Fabulous house, 4 couples stayed and it worked really well plenty of space and very luxurious. Great location only short walk from station and close to shops and city centre would highly recommend. Louise was a great host very helpful ⭐️
We had a fantastic stay in York, the property was beautifully presented and an ideal central location. Very good communication and we would happily come again!
An amazing home - all the comforts, beautifully decorated, super comfortable for a family. Within a short walk of everything in York and some great pubs!
Beautiful house in the perfect location for visiting York city centre. Everything was within close walking distance. The house itself was faultless and we would love to return in the near future.
The house was perfect for our friends reunion. It is very close to the railway station and the town. The place has everything you need and is a beautiful well kept house. If you want to visit York then this property is ideal.
The house is beautifully presented with everything you could ask for, and a welcome pack which was a lovely surprise. The location is perfect - just a 5 minute walk from the bridge into the centre and easy walking to the station.
We had a lovely time and couldn't fault this property.
We'll be back!
Traveling throughout the UK, this accommodation was the one we loved the most! The location can’t be any better; it was just the right distance to be close to everything yet still quiet through the night. The house was gorgeous, with lots of natural light and comfortable for all six of us. Louise was very responsive to all my inquiries and is a extremely gracious hostess. We all would highly recommend Louise and this property to anyone looking to stay in York. Absolutely a 5+ star experience.
We had the best time at Louise's house in York! This house was so beautiful, clean, beautifully updated and so well-appointed. It was the perfect size for our family (kids on 3rd floor, grown-ups on 2nd floor, comfortable living quarters on the first floor). We were relaxed and comfortable the whole time. The house was within walking distance to everything in York and the pub down the street was wonderful (location and beer!). I would highly recommend this as the ideal rental for anyone looking for a local rental in York.
we found the property clean, tidy, and most beautiful.
Beds were warm, clean, and very comfortable.
Everything we needed was easily available there.
LOVED IT. XX
This was such a fabulous stay. York is a charming town and this beautiful home embodies the same charm. It is very thoughtfully laid out and decorated. Louise was an excellent communicator and gave great suggestions. She was even kind enough to put out some goodies for us upon arrival. Thank you, Louise!
We had a wonderful stay here - the house was beautifully decorated and had the perfect location in the heart of York just a short walk from the main sights, restaurants and shops. Communication with the owner, Louise, was faultless and she was always very prompt with her responses to our questions. Thank you for a brilliant stay!
This lovely town house has everything that is required including a superb and surprisingly quiet location. It is in the heart of the city with all the life that you would expect, shopping, bars and restaurants just a short walk away. No parking facility but to be honest we booked our car into a car park nearly a mile away ( for cost reasons) as a car is not really required at this location.
