About this property

The Cottage by The Walls - sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom

Located just a stone's throw away from York Minster, this charming 1 bedroom property is something of a hidden retreat.

It benefits from being set just off the street of Gillygate and enjoys all the benefits of being just a minutes' walk from the very heart of the city centre. Once you access the door on street, the entrance porch way transfers you to something of a hidden gem right by the city walls.

The property benefits from having an enclosed patio area at the rear that has views of the city walls and a charming garden area complete with beehive. Almost unheard of for a city centre property!

Inside the ground floor apartment itself there is a spacious lounge area with dining table. A fully fitted kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine. The bedroom comes complete with a king size bed and the bathroom features a walk in shower.

Truly Wonderful
This is a wonderful place to stay. The cottage itself is very comfortable and well equipped. The location could not be more convenient, within easy walking distance of the train station. York Minster is right around the corner, as is the entire historic district and its many attractions. And the city's medieval wall? It's in the backyard. The property managers at Stays York are delightful. When we reported what proved to be a minor radiator problem requiring a routine adjustment, someone was at our door in 5 minutes. We would love to return to York and stay in this property again.
