Great location, very quiet area.
A wonderful place to stay that's close to the city centre but in a very peaceful location. The cottage is immaculate with a great kitchen and bathroom plus comfortable bedrooms. Parking was readily available on the next street so no issues there and 2 minutes away from a bus stop.

Excellent stay within walking distance to York on a beautiful home.
This home was perfect for our family of 5. The kitchen was well equipped and the host even left little treats and basic staples to help us get started which was so appreciated. We managed to find street parking for free and walked into York to see the sights which was ideal. Great location, quiet and lovely neighbourhood with a park and a shop a few hundred meters away. Lovely furnishings, extremely clean, comfy beds. We loved it!

Our best stay in the UK!
During our 2-week holiday in the UK, we stayed at 4 different locations and this was by far the best! Wish we had spent more time here. The house was darlings, exactly as described, clean, private, and perfectly located! Walking distance to so much! The host was amazing, with great communication and suggestions. Thank you so much!!

Cozy and welcoming
We loved staying at this beautiful cottage. The hosts really thought of everything to make you feel at home. We loved the co-op market on the corner...it had everything we needed for a quick and easy dinner. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with necessities. The shower was amazing! We wish we would have stayed longer! The hosts were so great at responding and providing us with all the info we needed.

Loved our stay
Outside of York, which we liked. A bit too far to walk with luggage but the #9 bus is close and a quick way to get to town centre. The apartment is really clean and beautifully decorated. Comfortable beds. The snacks and milk etc. provided by hosts was wonderful. Bathroom is downstairs from bedrooms which isn’t fun at night, but otherwise perfect!

Clean with personal touches
The Hideaway is a quaint cottage with outstanding cleanliness and amenities. The added touch of snacks waiting for us was so appreciated and welcomed. I also appreciated the flyers of local activities. Communication was excellent and very prompt…an added touch of hospitality. Neighbors were friendly and well accommodating while we were unloading. And York is a lovely city.

What a charming place to stay!
We had never been to York before and were delighted with the area and with this charming house. It has clearly just been done up so everything is pristine and done with such style. Jim and Kate were very prompt to reply and sent us all the information we needed. Can't recommend highly enough.

Superb base to explore York and beautifully appointed
This is such a great place which could very comfortably accommodate a small group or a family. Extremely well appointed and only about 10 minute walk to the city wall. Nice cafe and a local shop just around the corner, as well as a good fish and chip shop. Jim was a great host - very attentive - and his communication was excellent. Really could not fault it it any way and would have no hesitation in recommending this for a brilliant city break in one of England’s most beautiful cities.

Exploring York and Theatre trip
This is the second time I have stayed at this property - once with my family and this time with friends. The house is very conveniently situated - a walk into the city centre or an easy bus ride. The house is an incredibly cute little cottage finished to a really high standard. It has everything you could possibly need and the owners have thought of everything! All the little touches were very much appreciated (like a bottle of milk and even a bottle of Prosecco!) I would definitely recommend this property!
