The Drey - Modern cottage for four in York Centre
The Drey is a lovely cosy terraced house situated within York City walls and perfectly located for all of the attractions of York.
Approximately a 10-15 minute walk from York Railway station and just a 5 minute walk from some amazing independent coffee shops and restaurants on Micklegate.
The house has been considerately decorated by the new owners to offer a modern home from home stay.
There is a spacious but cosy lounge with smart tv leading on to a modern kitchen and breakfast room,
To the first floor there are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom with shower over the bath.
To the rear there is a small garden space.
Why The Drey?
We have a little family of Squirrels who often come to visit us in the back yard (Cyril & Sybil), so we felt it only right to pay tribute to our bushy friends by calling the house The Drey.
Please note: We have a doorbell camera to the front door

Charming accommodation in a peaceful but central location
A lovely place to escape to for a few days! Easy walking distance to everything but tucked in a peaceful corner away from the busy areas of the city. Well be back to explore more!

The Dray. Fantastic little York city center 2-bed cottage well managed by YorGuest. Fully equipped, clean, and comfortable, for up to four (+ baby in a crib!). 20 minutes level walk from the railway station, and indeed most of York city attractions. Very close to bars, restaurants, and convenience stores, but quiet and private. Not an impersonal new modern hotel or flat, just a lovely well cared for home from home.
