“The house was comfortable, warm and well equipped.”
The location was great for us, a lovely 20 minute walk along the river into the city. The host was really friendly and communicative and left the best welcome pack we have ever received at a cottage and we have stayed in a fair few! There were also little luxurious extras like robes and slippers. The only downsides were a couple of little items not working well (namely the dishwasher which was an issue completely out of the hosts control and we insisted we didn't need it fixing whilst we were there, but also the DVD player was well past it's best) but these things did not ruin our break and the owner is so great, I'm sure they will be tip top condition for the next guests. Also, the main bedroom is a little noisy if you are a light sleeper. The host kindly leaves first night ear plugs and I then bought some for the remainder of the week. My husband however slept like a baby, so this is not an issue at all if you sleep well! Despite the couple of tiny issues, we would return as the house is a great little find and York is a fabulous city to explore.
